(USDC No. 02-CV-1981)
_______________________________________________________

Before REAVLEY, WIENER and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

The district court correctly upheld the Coast Guard Commandant’s decision as his

interpretation of 46 C.F.R § 4.05-10(b) was not arbitrary or capricious. See Citizens to

Preserve Overton Park, Inc. v. Volpe, 401 U.S. 402, 416, 91 S. Ct. 814, 823-24 (1971). It

*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R.
47.5.4.
was not arbitrary or capricious to decide that a three-day delay of the written report failed

to meet the “without delay” requirement of the statute if the written report is to satisfy the

immediate notice requirement in 46 C.F.R. § 4.05-1(a). AFFIRMED.
