Update of Standards From the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM)
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: By this direct final rule, the Coast Guard amends Titles 33
and 46, Code of Federal Regulations, to render current the standards
incorporated by reference from the American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM). Some of the standards incorporated were over 30 years
out of date. This rule incorporates the most recent editions of the
standards to ensure the use by regulated industry of the latest
technology.
DATES: This direct final rule is effective on February 29, 2000, unless
a written adverse comment, or written notice of intent to submit an
adverse comment, reaches the Docket Management Facility on or before
January 31, 2000. If you submit an adverse comment, or notice of intent
to submit an adverse comment, the Coast Guard will withdraw this rule
and publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. The
incorporation by reference of publications in this rule was approved by
the Director of the Federal Register on February 29, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Request for Comments
The Coast Guard encourages you to participate in this rulemaking by
submitting comments and related material. If you do so, please include
your name and address, identify the docket number for this rulemaking
(USCG-1999-5151), indicate the specific section of this document to
which each comment applies, and give the reason for each comment. You
may submit your comments and material by mail, delivery, fax, or
electronic means to the Docket Management Facility at the address under
ADDRESSES; but please submit your comments and material by only one
means. If you submit them by mail or delivery, submit them in an
unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for
copying and electronic filing. If you submit them by mail and would
like to know they reached the Facility, please enclose a stamped, self-
addressed postcard or envelope. We will consider all comments and
material received during the comment period. We may change this rule in
view of them.
Regulatory Information
The Coast Guard is publishing a direct final rule, the procedures
for which appear in 33 CFR 1.05-55, because it anticipates no adverse
comment. Unless, during the specified comment period, it receives
either a written adverse comment or written notice of intent to submit
one, this rule will become effective on February 29, 2000. In that
case, shortly before or after that date, the Coast Guard will publish a
document in the Federal Register stating that it received neither any
written adverse comment nor any written notice of intent to submit one
and confirming that this rule will or did become effective on February
29, 2000.
Nevertheless, if the Coast Guard receives either a written adverse
comment or written notice of intent to submit one, it will publish a
document in the Federal Register announcing withdrawal of all or part
of this rule. If an adverse comment or a notice of intent to submit one
applies to only part of this rule, and removal of that part is possible
without defeating the purpose of this rule, the Coast Guard may adopt
as final those parts of this rule on which it received no such comment
or notice. In either case it will withdraw any part of this rule that
was the subject of any such comment or notice. If it decides to proceed
with a rulemaking following receipt of any such comment or notice, it
will publish a separate Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) and
provide a new opportunity for comment.
A comment counts as ``adverse'' if it explains why this rule would
be inappropriate or would be ineffective or unacceptable without a
change, or challenges the premise or approach of the rule.
Background and Purpose
The Coast Guard uses standards established by other organizations,
such as ASTM, as a means of establishing technical requirements.
Incorporation by reference allows the Coast Guard to include these
technical standards in its rules without increasing the volume of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The Federal Register is the only
medium through which the Coast Guard and other agencies can incorporate
by reference. 1 CFR part 51 prescribes the methods and procedures for
incorporation by reference.
This rule changes most of the 170 standards from ASTM now
incorporated by reference in titles 33 and 46 of the CFR. Standards B
858, D 4268, F 1387, F 1548, and Adjunct F 1626 continue to call for
the most recent technology and have not yet been withdrawn or updated
by ASTM. ASTM typically updates each standard every 5 years.
ASTM has discontinued standards A 7, A 300, A 430, A 442, A 525, B
97, B 141, and D 1692 and replaced each with a different standard from
ASTM. The Coast Guard has eliminated standards F 808 and F 989 from its
rules without replacement since ASTM discontinued them, and the Coast
Guard has determined that no replacement is necessary. The Coast Guard
will incorporate the rest, which ASTM has updated. It will incorporate
these because, in addition to its desire for industry to use the most
recent technology, the older editions may be difficult for some parties
to find.
Discussion of Rule
This rule contains two kinds of updates of standards from ASTM: (1)
updates of those standards that bear the same numbers and same general
technical contents but that ASTM has brought into more recent year-
versions, and (2) updates of those that ASTM has discontinued and
replaced or combined with others. A brief description of the two kinds
follows:
(1) More Recent Year-Versions of Standards
ASTM has brought the standards listed below into more recent
versions. The later versions bear the same general technical contents
as the standards currently incorporated, but have been reviewed by ASTM
committees on a five-year schedule and brought into new ``year-
versions.'' For example, ASTM standard A 27-80 (1980 version of
standard A 27) is currently incorporated into the rules of the Coast
Guard. The newer version of this standard is A 27-95 (1995 version of
standard A 27).
In some cases, ASTM reviews the standards in its 5-year cycle and
re-certifies them unchanged. Such standards appear here with the years
of their re-certification in parentheses. For example, standard A 192-
91 (1996) is the 1991 version of standard A 192 re-certified in 1996
unchanged.
During the review of standards, changes occur--or not--by consensus
of the members of committees of ASTM. Since this process provides the
opportunity for members of industry, government, and academia to
participate, the Coast Guard considers the updated standards to have
been adequately reviewed and to be technically sound.
ASTM has brought the following standards into more recent year-
versions:

1546, and F 1548.
(2) Discontinued, Replaced, and Combined Standards
ASTM has completely discontinued some standards incorporated into
the rules of the Coast Guard for either a lack of need by industry or
the development of other, more modern standards. In some cases, ASTM
has replaced the discontinued standards with current ones. In others,
ASTM has discontinued standards with no replacements, and the Coast
Guard has either removed them from its rules or replaced them with
similar standards. In yet others, ASTM has combined two or more
standards to form one common one.
Each of the following eleven standards falls into one of these
three categories:
(1) ASTM A 7-65, ``Standard Specifications for Steel for Bridges
and Buildings.'' ASTM discontinued this standard in 1967 and replaced
it with A 36-97a, ``Standard Specification for Carbon Structural
Steel.'' The Coast Guard has determined that this replacement is
appropriate in its rules. The Coast Guard originally incorporated by
reference ASTM A 7 into 46 CFR 160.032-1, which governs materials used
for davits. It requires that structural steel made by the open-hearth
or electric-furnace process meet this standard.
(2) ASTM A 199-84, ``Specification for Seamless Cold-Drawn
Intermediate Alloy-Steel Heat-Exchanger and Condenser Tubes.'' ASTM
discontinued this standard in 1995 and replaced it with A 200,
``Specification for Seamless Intermediate Alloy-Steel Still Tubes for
Refinery Service, and A 213, Standard Specification for Seamless
Ferritic and Austenitic Alloy-Steel Boiler, Superheater, and Heat-
Exchanger Tubes.'' The Coast Guard originally incorporated by reference
ASTM A 199 into 46 CFR Table 56.60-1(a) as an acceptable piping
standard for alloy-steel condenser tubes. Since ASTM no longer
promulgates ASTM A 199, the Coast Guard has removed it from its rules.
But the Coast Guard cannot substitute ASTM A 200 for it yet, because
too little time remained before this rule's going to press for the
Coast Guard to analyze the new standard. Nevertheless, the same rules
allow piping systems selected from the material specifications of the
Code of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Section I,
III, or VIII. And ASME may be adding A 200 to its own list of accepted
standards in the near future; this, even without reference to ASTM,
would allow its use. ASTM A 213, which is also a replacement for A 199,
already appears in 46 CFR Table 56.60-1(a) and therefore does not need
to be added to the rules.
(3) ASTM A 300, ``Standard Specification for Notch Toughness
Requirements for Normalized Steel Parts for Pressure Vessels.'' ASTM
discontinued this standard in 1995 with no replacement, but expanded
and incorporated it into A 20, ``Standard Specification for General
Requirements for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels.'' This applies to
the testing of plate materials. The Coast Guard has determined that
ASTM A 20 will serve its purposes and by this rule incorporates it into
46 CFR 54.05-10. The Coast Guard edited its rules to direct the reader
to the sections of ASTM A 20 that will apply.
(4) ASTM A 430-84a, ``Standard Specification for Austenitic Steel,
Forged and Bored Pipe for High-Temperature Service.'' ASTM discontinued
this standard in 1995, and replaced it with A 312-95, ``Standard
Specification for Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Steel
Pipes.'' The Coast Guard has determined that it should eliminate ASTM A
430 from 46 CFR subpart 56.01 and also from Table 56.60-1(A), which
lists standards acceptable for specific piping. ASTM A 312 already
appears in this subpart, and remains available for use regardless of
ASTM A 430.
(5) ASTM A 442, ``Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel
Plates, Carbon Steel, Improved Transition Properties.'' ASTM
discontinued this standard in 1991 with no formal (committee-balloted)
replacement. However, ASTM A 516, ``Standard Specification for Pressure
Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate and Lower Temperature
Service'' is the ASTM-recommended replacement. Both standards appear in
46 CFR 54.25-10, which concerns low-temperature operation of ferritic
steels. In that section, certain materials, if below specified
thicknesses, are exempt from the requirement for ``Charpy impact
tests.'' Material of Grade 55, called out by ASTM A 442, is one of
these. Since ASTM has discontinued ASTM A 442, the Coast Guard has
determined that it should delete it from this section. ASTM A 516
already appears there and therefore does not need to be added to the
rules.
(6) ASTM A 525, ``Standard Specification for General Requirements
for Steel Sheet, Zinc-Coated (Galvanized) by the Hot-Dip Process.''
ASTM discontinued this standard in 1994 with no replacement. ASTM
recommends using A 653, ``Standard Specification for Steel Sheet, Zinc-
Coated (Galvanized) or Zinc-Iron Alloy-Coated (Galvannealed) by the
Hot-Dip Process'' in its place. The Coast Guard has determined that it
should eliminate ASTM A 525 in 46 CFR 160.035-3(b), which specifies
plating requirements for steel oar-propelled lifeboats. The Coast Guard
has replaced ASTM A 525 with ASTM A 653.
(7) ASTM B 97, ``Standard Specification for Copper Silicon-Alloy
Plate, Sheet, Strip, and Rolled Bar for General Purposes.'' ASTM
discontinued this standard in 1982, and replaced it with B 96,
``Standard Specification for Copper Silicon Alloy Plate, Sheet, Strip
and Rolled Bar for General Purposes and Pressure Vessels.'' The Coast
Guard has determined that ASTM B 96 serves its purposes and can replace
ASTM B 97 where the latter appears: in rules for construction of fuel
tanks (46 CFR 58.50-5, 119.440, and 182.440). The Coast Guard has
modified regulatory text in each of these rules, so that alloys ``A and
B'' in ASTM B 97 give way to alloys C65100 and C65500 in B 96. (Alloy
``C,'' referred to in the rules, is no longer manufactured and does not
require an equivalent in B 96.)
(8) ASTM B 141-45, ``Standard Specifications for Electrodeposited
Coatings of Nickel and Chromium on Copper and Copper-base Alloys.''
ASTM discontinued this standard in 1967, and replaced it with B 456,
``Standard Specification for Electro-deposited Coatings of Copper Plus
Nickel Plus Chromium and Nickel Plus Chromium.'' The Coast Guard has
determined that
[[Page 67173]]
ASTM B 456 serves its purposes. ASTM B 141 originally governed
construction of searchlight reflectors, in 46 CFR 161.006-4. When the
Coast Guard incorporated the new standard, it also revised regulatory
text to accommodate the new standard, so that ``type K C'' in ASTM B
141 gives way to ``service condition SC 1'' in ASTM B 456.
(9) ASTM D 1692 and D 1692T, ``Rate of Burning [or] Extent and Time
of Burning of Cellular Plastics Using a Specimen Supported by a
Horizontal Screen.'' ASTM discontinued these standards in 1978 with no
formal (committee-balloted) replacement. ASTM D 4986-98, ``Test Method
for Horizontal Burning Characteristics of Cellular Polymeric
Materials'' will serve in their places. ASTM D 1692 is incorporated by
reference into 46 CFR subparts 32.57 and 151.15, and helps test the
fire-resistance of insulating-materials. This rule will incorporate
ASTM D 4986-98 into Sec. 38.01-3.
(10) ASTM F 989, ``Standard Test Methods for Spill Control Barrier
Tension Members.'' ASTM discontinued this standard in 1995 with no
replacement. This standard was originally incorporated in 33 CFR parts
154 (Appendix C) and 155 (Appendix B), which include requirements for
the testing of oil-response boom. The Coast Guard has determined that
it is appropriate to eliminate the standard from the text without
adding a replacement: The current regulatory text gives the reader the
option of using old ASTM F 989, ASTM F 715 (Standard Methods of Testing
Spill Control Barrier Membrane Materials), or any of several tests
approved by the Coast Guard; and the latter two options remain
available.
(11) ASTM F 808, ``Standard Guide for Collecting Skimmer
Performance Data in Uncontrolled Environments.'' ASTM discontinued this
standard in 1997, and recommended that the Coast Guard use F 631,
``Standard Method for Testing Full-Scale Advancing Spill Removal
Devices'' in its place. ASTM F 808 is incorporated in 33 CFR parts 154
(Appendix C) and 155 (Appendix B), which include requirements for
collecting data on performance of oil skimmers. The Coast Guard has
determined that it is appropriate to eliminate ASTM F 808 from the text
without adding a replacement, since the current regulatory text states
that ASTM F 631 or an equivalent test approved by the Coast Guard will
serve as well.
Regulatory Evaluation
This direct final rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that Order. It has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget under that Order. It is not significant under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44
FR 11040; February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard expects the economic
impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation
under paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary.
Costs to Industry
This direct final rule involves administrative changes (updates) to
rules that incorporate ASTM standards. Industry will need to purchase
the updated standards. Each business will incur costs based on the
number of standards it must purchase, which will vary greatly. Costs
for purchasing these standards will be minimal. The average cost of an
ASTM standard is $18 to $20. Because of copyright restrictions,
businesses must purchase standards from ASTM.
Benefits to Industry
While it is not possible to accurately quantify the benefits of
requiring industry to use recent versions of ASTM's standards, the net
result will be improved product quality, which translates into improved
maritime safety. Industry already uses these standards in many
applications including the manufacture of searchlights, lifejackets,
immersion suits, and fire-protective equipment, which have direct
implications for safety. Further, since some of the standards have been
discontinued, it will be easier for industry to obtain copies of the
incorporated updated ones from ASTM.
An added benefit is reduced administrative burden. Industry may
already be aware of a new standard and want to use it, but be bound by
rule to using the older standard unless the Coast Guard authorizes,
case by case, the use of a newer version. If the newer version is
already listed, it obviates this need.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we
considered whether this direct final rule will have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term
``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
Given the wide range of ASTM standard applications, involving the
manufacture of products such as sheet metal, metal coatings, metal
castings, piping, pressure vessels, plastics, rubber, and many others,
it is not practicable to accurately determine the types and numbers of
small entities affected by this rule.
Because of copyright, as we note, industry must purchase the
standards from ASTM. But the costs associated with purchasing the new
standards are minimal, and the Coast Guard believes that purchasing the
standards will not create a financial burden for any small business.
Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this rule will have a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment to the Docket Management Facility at the
address under ADDRESSES. In your comment, explain why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree this rule will economically affect
it.
Collection of Information
This direct final rule will not call for new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520). Indeed, it should reduce administrative difficulty for everyone
affected by it.
Federalism
We have analyzed this direct final rule under E.O. 13132 and have
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism
under that Order.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
governs the issuance of Federal rules that impose unfunded mandates. An
unfunded mandate is a rule that requires a State, local, or tribal
government or the private sector to incur direct costs without the
Federal Government's having first provided the funds to pay those
costs. This direct final rule will not impose an unfunded mandate.
Taking of Private Property
This direct final rule will not effect a taking of private property
or otherwise have taking implications under E.O. 12630, Governmental
Actions and
[[Page 67174]]
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights.
Reform of Civil Justice
This direct final rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a)
and 3(b)(2) of E.O. 12988, Reform of Civil Justice, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this direct final rule under E.O. 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and does not
concern an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Environment
We considered the environmental impact of this direct final rule
and concluded that under figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(a) of Commandant
Instruction M16475.lC, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation. Under paragraph (34)(a), this exclusion is
appropriate for rules that are ``editorial or procedural, such as those
updating addresses or establishing application procedures.'' A
Determination of Categorical Exclusion is available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.
