Title: Notice of Arrival on the Outer Continental Shelf
Abstract: Currently, foreign vessels arriving at a place on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) need not provide any advance notice to the Coast Guard. In order to improve Maritime Domain Awareness and security on the OCS, this rule would require each foreign vessel intending to arrive at a place on the OCS to provide the National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC) with an advance notice of arrival (NOA). The Coast Guard proposed placing those same requirements on U.S. units arriving on and engaging in OCS activities from foreign ports or places because they pose the same security risks as foreign vessels. The Coast Guard proposed the data to be included in the notices, and the times at which the notices must be submitted, would be similar to the existing requirements, in 33 CFR part 160, for NOAs from ships arriving at a port or place in the United States.
