| Title: Lifesaving Equipment, Production Testing, and Harmonization With International Standards | |
| Abstract: The Coast Guard is amending its regulations for certain lifesaving equipment, including launching appliances (winches and davits), release mechanisms, survival craft (lifeboats, inflatable life rafts, and inflatable buoyant apparatuses), rescue boats, and automatic disengaging devices. The rule harmonizes the Coast Guard's design, construction, and performance standards for this lifesaving equipment with international standards. In addition, the rule provides for the use of qualified independent laboratories, instead of Coast Guard inspectors, during the approval process and for production inspections of certain types of lifesaving equipment. The Coast Guard also proposed to amend the interim rule for inflatable life rafts and inflatable buoyant apparatuses to harmonize Coast Guard regulations with recently adopting international standards affecting assumed occupant weight. | |
