THIS REQUEST IS
APPROVED THROUGH 12/31/84. CG HAS STATED THAT THESE REQUIREMENTS DO
NOT IMPACT SMALL ENTITIES WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THAT
DETERMINATION IS TRUE. IT APPEARS TO BE UNREASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT
ONLY LARGE ENTITIES NEED TO MAKE REPAIRS TO BOILERS AND PRESSURE
EQUIPMENT, STORE CARGO GEAR, HOLD SHIPPING PAPERS, AND HAVE TANKS
THAT NEED TO BE EXAMINED. THE NEW SUBMISSION SHOULD EXPLAIN THE
PROPOSAL THAT THERE ARE NO SMALL ENTITIES AFFECTED AND PROVIDE AN
DEFINITION OF A SMALL ENTITY.
