Title: Validation of Merchant Mariners' Vital Information and Issuance of Coast Guard Merchant Mariner's Licenses and Certificates of Registry (USCG-2004-17455) | |
Abstract: This rule imposes certain security-related requirements on merchant mariners in order to obtain a license or certificate of registry (COR). Applicants would be required to appear in person at least once during the application process, to provide two acceptable forms of identification, and be fingerprinted by Coast Guard personnel. This appearance requirement is intended to be an interim measure until the appearance requirement in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential rulemaking is fully implemented. Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: The proposed rulemaking would require mariners seeking to renew their license or certificate of registry to visit a regional exam center (REC) and furnish fresh fingerprints enabling a criminal record review. The change would enhance maritime security by increasing the likelihood that licenses and CORs would only go to persons eligible to receive them. Without regulation, the market would not transmit to mariners the benefits of the enhanced security resulting from the REC visit. As a result, most mariners would not voluntarily visit the REC and the benefits would not be realized. | |
