Title: Passenger Vessel Financial Responsibility (Docket No. 02-15) 
Abstract: The FMC proposes to amend its rules regarding the establishment of passenger vessel financial responsibility under sections 2 (Casualty) and 3 (Performance) of Public Law 89-777. The amendments would: Eliminate the current ceiling on required Performance coverage; adjust the amount of coverage required by providing for consideration of the obligations of credit card issuers; provide for the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), including the Commission's ADR program, in resolving passenger Performance claims; revise the application form; and make a number of technical adjustments to the Performance and Casualty rules.
