Representative Wasserman Schultz has introduced a new amendment to the Longshore Act.
The Bill, HR 3896, seeks to revise the previous
definition of “Recreational Vessel” in the Regulations. The entire Bill has one section, with two
subsections. Section 1(a) is titled “Definitions”, and Section 1(b) is titled
“Regulations”.
The Regulations provision requires the Department of Labor
to amend the regulations in section 701.501 by replacing the current
subsections (a) and (b) with “only the text of the definition of recreational
vehicle [sic] in section 2(22) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers'
Compensation Act, as added by subsection (a)…”
Apart from the misprint, (“vehicle” should be “vessel”), can
the Department actually make the changes within 90 days, given all the
restraints on regulating and procedures required under the various statutes
seeking to prevent rapid rule making?
