petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate

intent to amend merchant mariner

statutory changes made by the Howard

allows oilers serving on certain offshore
support vessels, towing vessels, and
barges to be divided into at least two

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
We
received two comments in response to
the direct final rule (DFR). The two
comments we received were either not
adverse or separable from and not
within the scope of the rulemaking.
One commenter supported the rule
and thanked the Coast Guard for its
prompt action. Another commenter
titled its comment as ‘‘adverse’’ and
requested that the Coast Guard
withdraw the DFR. The commenter
agreed that ‘‘the Coast Guard is obliged
to align Coast Guard regulations with
the statutes’’ and did not oppose the
changes to the regulation. The
commenter argued, rather, that the Coast
Guard should delay the rulemaking
indefinitely and seek new legislation
from Congress that limits every
merchant mariner to serving a uniform
maximum of 12 hours in a 24 hour
period, except in an emergency.
The DFR conforms Coast Guard
regulations to existing law, under which
affected mariners may earn one and a
half days sea service credit for each 12hour period of work. The commenter
did not oppose granting such mariners
such credit for time worked. Instead, the
commenter took issue with the absence
of statutory restrictions on the length of
time certain mariners may be required
to work. The commenter advocated that
the Coast Guard delay updating the
regulations and request that Congress
amend the statute further.
The DFR stated that ‘‘we may adopt,
as final, those parts of this rule on
which no adverse comment was
received.’’ 80 FR 65166. The
commenter’s requests are separable from
the rule and raises issues well outside
the scope of the rule. The rule will
therefore go into effect as scheduled.
