FEDERAL MARITIME COMMISSION

[Docket No. 09-06]

Recodification of the Shipping Act as Positive Law

September 16, 2009.
AGENCY: Federal Maritime Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule amends Commission regulations to reflect the 
codification of the Shipping Act as positive law. No substantive change 
is involved.

DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen V. Gregory, Secretary, Federal 
Maritime Commission, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., Washington, DC 
20573-0001. (202) 523-5725. E-mail: secretary@fmc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The House of Representatives introduced H.R. 
1442 to complete the codification of title 46, United States Code, 
``Shipping,'' as positive law, by reorganizing and restating the laws 
previously set forth in the appendix to title 46. On October 6, 2006, 
H.R. 1442 was enacted as Public Law 109-304. This rule changes prior 
references in the Commission regulations to reflect the codification 
and involves no substantive changes. This rule also corrects 
typographical errors in the Commission regulations.
    Because this rule involves no substantive changes, the Commission 
finds, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), that notice and public procedure 
on this rule is unnecessary. The Chairman of the Commission certifies, 
pursuant to section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 
et seq., that the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule is not a ``major rule'' under 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
