Title: Review and Update of Standards for Marine Equipment (USCG-2003-16630)
Abstract: This project incorporates national and international standards for certain marine equipment and marine electrical equipment into title 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). These standards would replace long-outdated ones, or update standards that were superseded fairly recently. The Coast Guard has actively participated in the development of national and international standards of safety for marine equipment through the International Maritime Organization, the International Organization for Standardization, and the American Society for Testing and Materials, as well as through other standards-setting bodies under the American National Standards Institute. We would incorporate these standards into the appropriate parts of title 46. Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: The rule updates national standards for marine equipment. Industry is not able to develop and maintain consistent uniform national standards that are compliant with international conventions. This not only improves the functioning of government, but also addresses the issue of the marginal social benefits provided by uniform standards.
