Coast Guard August 11, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Coast Guard is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 30, 2021. The final rule announced changes to the Amtrak Railroad Bridge, mile 3.77, across the South Branch of the Chicago River, at Chicago, Illinois. The rule has an effective date of August 30, 2021. This correction fixes an incorrect amendatory instruction within that final rule that deleted existing regulatory text that should not have been deleted.

This final rule enables regulated facilities to electronically submit Operations Manuals and Emergency Manuals and electronically communicate with the Coast Guard. This rule also allows facility operators to submit one electronic or printed copy of the manuals and one electronic or printed copy of the amendments to the manuals. Finally, this rule requires the regulated facilities to maintain either an electronic or a printed copy of each required manual in the marine transfer area of the facility during transfer operations.
