estimated detailed description of the number of vessels, by subchapter,
affected by this rule.
    Frequency Of The Response: We anticipate that all 1,713 vessels
will have a crewmember trained and certified in accordance with NFPA 10
industry standards to perform annual maintenance on rechargeable fire
extinguishers. We estimate that in the

first year all vessels in the affected population would require
certification. After the first year, we estimate that \1/3\ of the
affected population or 571 crewmembers, would require new certification
or re-certification. See footnote 5 above for explanation of the
assumption used in the certification for years 2 and 3.
    Burden Of Response: We estimate additional burden imposed by this
proposed rule to be minimal on a per vessel basis. The amount of annual
recordkeeping required is anticipated to be less than two minutes for
filing the certificate, and another two minutes for producing the
certificate during periodic inspections.
    Estimate Of Total Annual Burden: We estimate the total annual
burden for the affected population in the initial year of this rule to
be 114.2 hours ((4 min * 1,713 total affected population) / 60
minutes). After the initial year, we anticipate that 1/3 of the
affected population or 571 vessel Masters \11\ would be burdened with
this new requirement. We estimate the annual burden, after the initial
year, to be 38 hours ((4 min * 571) / 60 minutes). The annual cost of
this burden in the initial year is estimated to be $5,754 (114.2 hours
* $50.38 Vessel Masters), and after the initial year to be $1,914 (38
hours * $50.38 Vessel Masters). The per-vessel burden cost is estimated
to be $3.35 ($1,914 / 571) (note that the per-vessel cost burden in the
initial year will be equal to the burden in the subsequent years).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ As discussed above in section VII. Regulatory Analysis, we
assume a vessel master will be responsible for filing and producing
the certificate upon request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507
(d)), we have submitted a copy of this proposed rule to OMB for its
review of the collection of information.
    We ask for public comments on the proposed collection of
information to help us determine how useful the information is; whether
it can help us perform our function better; whether it is readily
available elsewhere; how accurate our estimate of the burden of
collection is; how valid our methods for determining burden are; how we
can improve the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information,
and how we can minimize the burden of collection.
    If you submit comments on the collection of information, submit
them both to OMB and to the Docket Management Facility where indicated
under ADDRESSES, by the date under DATES.
    You need not respond to a collection of information unless we have
published a currently valid control number from OMB. Before the Coast
Guard could enforce the collection of information requirements in this
proposed rule, OMB would need to approve the Coast Guard's request to
collect this information.

E. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental principles and
preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Our
analysis is explained below.
    It is well settled that States may not regulate in categories
reserved for regulation by the Coast Guard, including categories for
inspected vessels. It is also well-settled, now, that all of the
categories covered in 46 U.S.C. 3306, 3703, 7101, and 8101 (design,
construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, operation, equipping,
personnel qualification, and manning of vessels), as well as the
reporting of casualties and any other category in which Congress
intended the Coast Guard to be the sole source of a vessel's
obligations, are within the field foreclosed from regulation by the
States. (See the decision of the Supreme Court in the consolidated
cases of United States v. Locke and Intertanko v. Locke, 529 U.S. 89,
120 S.Ct. 1135 (March 6, 2000).) This proposed rule regulates fire
prevention, protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment on
inspected vessels, and therefore the States may not regulate within
this category of fire prevention equipment. Therefore, the rule is
consistent with the principles of federalism and preemption
requirements in Executive Order 13132.
    Additionally, towing vessels are now subject to inspection under 46
U.S.C. 3301 and 3306. As mentioned above, it is well-settled that
states may not regulate within categories covered in 46 U.S.C. 3306 for
inspected vessels. Since this proposed rule creates comprehensive
regulations for fire prevention, protection, detection, and
extinguishing equipment on towing vessels, states may not regulate
within this category of fire prevention equipment. Therefore, the rule
is consistent with the principles of federalism and preemption
requirements in Executive Order 13132.
    Congress also granted to the Coast Guard, through delegation by the
Secretary, the authority to promulgate regulations with respect to
firefighting equipment on uninspected vessels. 46 U.S.C. 4102(a)
requires that ``[e]ach uninspected vessel propelled by machinery shall
be provided with the number, type, and size of fire extinguishers,
capable of promptly and effectively extinguishing burning liquid fuel,
that may be prescribed by regulation.'' This proposed rule regulates,
among other things, fire extinguishing equipment on uninspected
vessels, and therefore the States may not regulate within this
category. Therefore, the rule is consistent with the principles of
federalism and preemption requirements in Executive Order 13132.
    Additionally, with regard to regulations promulgated under 46
U.S.C. 4302 concerning recreational vessels, under 46 U.S.C. 4306,
those Federal regulations that establish minimum safety standards for
recreational vessels and their associated equipment, as well as
regulations that establish procedures and tests required to measure
conformance with those standards, preempt State law, unless the State
law is identical to a Federal regulation or a State is specifically
provided an exemption to those regulations, or permitted to regulate
marine safety articles carried or used to address a hazardous condition
or circumstance unique to that State. This proposed rule establishes
minimum requirements for fire extinguishing equipment for recreational
vessels, and therefore the States may not issue regulations that differ
from Coast Guard regulations within these fire equipment categories for
recreational vessels. Therefore, the rule is consistent with the
principles of federalism and preemption requirements in Executive Order
13132.
    Congress also granted the authority, through delegation by the
Secretary, to promulgate regulations for uninspected commercial fishing
vessels, which requires these vessels to ``be equipped with . . .
readily accessible fire extinguishers capable of promptly and
effectively extinguishing a flammable or combustible liquid fuel
fire.'' 46 U.S.C. 4502(a)(1). Also, Congress permitted the Secretary to
establish minimum safety standards for certain uninspected commercial
fishing vessels, including standards for ``fire protection and
firefighting equipment, including fire alarms and portable and semi-
portable fire extinguishing equipment.'' 46 U.S.C. 4502(c)(2)(C). As
this proposed rule regulates fire prevention, protection, detection,
and extinguishing

equipment on uninspected commercial fishing vessels, the States may not
regulate within this category of equipment. Therefore, the rule is
consistent with the principles of federalism and preemption
requirements in Executive Order 13132.
    Additionally, Congress specifically granted the authority to
regulate artificial islands, installations, and other devices
permanently or temporarily attached to the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) and in the waters adjacent thereto as it relates to the safety of
life to the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is
operating. 43 U.S.C. 1333(d)(1) states that the Secretary ``shall have
the authority to promulgate and enforce such reasonable regulations
with respect to lights and other warning devices, safety equipment, and
other matters relating to the promotion of safety of life and property
on the artificial islands, installations, and other devices . . . as he
may deem necessary.'' As this proposed rule regulates fire prevention,
protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment to ensure safety of
life on these OCS installations, it falls within the scope of authority
Congress granted exclusively to the Secretary. This authority has been
delegated to the Coast Guard and is exercised in this rulemaking, and
the States may not regulate within this category of safety equipment.
Therefore, the rule is consistent with the principles of federalism and
preemption requirements in Executive Order 13132.
    Finally, Congress granted the authority to regulate deepwater ports
to the Secretary of Transportation. 33 U.S.C. 1509(b) states that the
Secretary of Transportation ``shall issue and enforce regulations with
respect to lights and other warning devices, safety equipment, and
other matters relating to the promotion of safety of life and property
in any deepwater port and the waters adjacent thereto.'' When the Coast
Guard was an agency within the Department of Transportation, the
authority to issue regulations with respect to safety on deepwater
ports was delegated to the Coast Guard. See 49 CFR 1.46(s). The
Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, transferred the
Coast Guard to the Department of Homeland Security. Pursuant to the
Homeland Security Act, authorities that were delegated to the Coast
Guard remained intact during this transfer by operation of law. The
authority was then delegated to the Commandant of the Coast Guard
through Department of Homeland Security Delegation 0170.1. Since this
proposed rule regulates fire prevention, protection, detection, and
extinguishing equipment to ensure safety on deepwater ports, it falls
within the scope of authority that has been transferred, delegated to,
and exercised by the Coast Guard. The States may not regulate within
this category of safety equipment. Therefore, the rule is consistent
with the principles of federalism and preemption requirements in
Executive Order 13132.
    While it is well settled that States may not regulate in categories
in which Congress intended the Coast Guard to be the sole source of a
vessel's obligations, the Coast Guard recognizes the key role that
State and local governments may have in making regulatory
determinations. Additionally, for rules with implications and
preemptive effect, Executive Order 13132 specifically directs agencies
to consult with State and local governments during the rulemaking
process.
    Therefore, the Coast Guard invites State and local governments and
their representative national organizations to indicate their desire
for participation and consultation in this rulemaking process by
submitting comments to this NPRM. In accordance with Executive Order
13132, the Coast Guard will provide a federalism impact statement to
document: (1) The extent of the Coast Guard's consultation with State
and local officials who submit comments to this proposed rule; (2) a
summary of the nature of any concerns raised by State or local
governments and the Coast Guard's position thereon; and (3) a statement
of the extent to which the concerns of State and local officials have
been met. We will also report to the Office of Management and Budget
any written communications with the States.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

G. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

H. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

I. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
might disproportionately affect children.

J. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.

K. Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

L. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling

procedures; and related management systems practices) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies.
    This proposed rule uses the following new voluntary consensus
standards:
     Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA) Pamphlet C-6,

2010.
     IEC 60092-504, Electrical Installations in Ships--Part

M. Coast Guard Authorization Act Sec. 608 (46 U.S.C. 2118(a))

    Section 608 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 (Pub. L.
111-281) adds new section 2118 to 46 U.S.C. Subtitle II (Vessels and
Seamen), Chapter 21 (General). New section 2118(a) sets forth
requirements for standards established for approved equipment required
on vessels subject to 46 U.S.C. Subtitle II (Vessels and Seamen), Part
B (Inspection and Regulation of Vessels). Those standards must be ''
(1) based on performance using the best available technology that is
economically achievable; and (2) operationally practical.'' See 46
U.S.C. 2118(a). This rulemaking proposes a revision of the standards
for fire prevention, protection, detection, and extinguishing equipment
regulations on vessels subject to 46 U.S.C. Subtitle II, Part B, and
the Coast Guard has ensured this rule satisfies the requirements of 46
U.S.C. 2118(a), as necessary.

N. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under the ``Public
Participation and Request for Comments'' section of this preamble. This
proposed rule involves:
    Section 2.B.b, Figure 2.1 paragraph (34)(b), (d), and (e) of the
Instruction, which covers regulations concerning delegating authority,
manning, documents, admeasurements, inspection, and equipping of
vessels; and paragraph 6(a) of the National Environmental Policy Act:
Coast Guard Procedures for Categorical Exclusions (67 FR 48243, July
23, 2002), which covers regulations concerning vessel and related
facility operation safety standards because this proposed rule pertains
to regulations concerning delegating authority and the inspection and
equipping of vessels (and related facilities), as well as vessel
operation safety standards, equipment approval, and equipment carriage
requirements. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

extinguishing systems.

    (a) Portable and semi-portable extinguishers must be inspected and
maintained in accordance with NFPA 10 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec.  25.01-3).
    (b) Certification or licensing by the state or local jurisdiction
as a fire extinguisher servicing agency will be accepted by the Coast
Guard as meeting the personnel certification requirements of NFPA 10
for annual maintenance and recharging of extinguishers.
    (c) Monthly inspections required by NFPA 10 may be conducted by the
owner, operator, person-in-charge, or a designated member of the crew.
    (d) Non-rechargeable or non-refillable extinguishers must be
inspected and maintained in accordance with NFPA 10; however, the
annual maintenance need not be conducted by a certified person and can
be conducted by the owner, operator, person-in-charge, or a designated
member of the crew.
    (e) The owner or managing operator must provide satisfactory
evidence of the required servicing to the marine inspector. If any of
the equipment or records have not been properly maintained, a qualified
servicing facility must perform the required inspections, maintenance
procedures, and hydrostatic pressure tests. A tag issued by a qualified
servicing organization, and attached to each extinguisher, may be
accepted as evidence that the necessary maintenance procedures have
been conducted.
    (f) Vaporizing-liquid type fire extinguishers containing carbon
tetrachloride, chlorobromomethane, or other toxic vaporizing liquids
are not acceptable as equipment required by this subchapter.
    (g) Portable or semi-portable extinguishers, which are required on
their name plates to be protected from freezing, must not be located
where freezing temperatures may be expected.
    (h) The use of dry chemical, stored pressure, fire extinguishers
not fitted with pressure gauges or indicating devices, manufactured
prior to January 1, 1965, may be permitted on motorboats and other
vessels so long as such extinguishers are maintained in good and
serviceable condition. The following maintenance and inspections are
required for such extinguishers:
    (1) When the date on the inspection record tag on the extinguishers
shows that 6 months have elapsed since the last weight check ashore,
then such extinguishers are no longer accepted as meeting required
maintenance conditions until they are reweighed ashore, found to be in
a serviceable condition, and within required weight conditions.

    (2) If the weight of the container is \1/4\ ounce less than that
stamped on the container, it must be serviced.
    (3) If the outer seal or seals (which indicate tampering or use
when broken) are not intact, the boarding officer or marine inspector
will inspect such extinguishers to see that the frangible disc in the
neck of the container is intact; and if such disc is not intact, the
container must be serviced.
    (4) If there is evidence of damage, use, or leakage, such as dry
chemical powder observed in the nozzle or elsewhere on the
extinguisher, the extinguisher must be serviced or replaced.
    (i) Dry chemical extinguishers, stored pressure extinguishers, and
fire extinguishers without pressure gauges or indicating devices
manufactured after January 1, 1965, cannot be labeled with the marine
type label described in 46 CFR 162.028-4. These extinguishers
manufactured after January 1, 1965, may be carried onboard motorboats
or other vessels as excess equipment.
    (j) Semi-portable extinguishers must be fitted with a suitable hose
and nozzle, or other practicable means, so that all portions of the
space concerned may be covered.
