Title: Update of Standards from American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) (USCG-1999-5151) 
Abstract: The purpose of this regulation is to update 143 of the 170 American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards that have been incorporated by reference in Titles 33 and 46 of the Code Federal Regulations. Some of the existing standards are 20 years old. By ensuring that industry is using the latest standards technology available, the Coast Guard will improve maritime safety and help ensure the adequacy of oil spill response equipment. Because this project is expected to be noncontroversial and is unlikely to spur adverse public comment, the Coast Guard will promulgate the regulations as a direct final rule. This project supports the Coast Guard's goals of marine safety and the protection of natural resources.
