Title: Potable Water Standards for Inspected Vessels
Abstract: The Coast Guard is considering adding regulations in title 46 Code of Federal Regulations to require that water supplied for washing and drinking by passengers and crew meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards for potable water in 21 CFR parts 1240 and 1250. This action is being considered as a result of amendments to title 46, United States Code, section 3305(a) made by the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-293, Aug. 9, 2004). As most inspected vessels engage in interstate trade and are already subject to FDA regulations or already supply potable water for washing and drinking by the passengers and crew, we are seeking comments on whether such an action would be necessary.
