Title: Great Lakes Pilotage Rates--2015 Annual Review and Adjustment 
Abstract:

The Coast Guard is making rate adjustments for pilotage services on the Great Lakes, which were last amended in March 2014. The adjustments establish new base rates and are made in accordance with a full ratemaking procedure. The update reflects the Coast Guard exercising the discretion provided by step 7 of the appendix A methodology. The result is an upward adjustment to close the gap between revenues projected by this rulemaking and those collected by the pilot associations. The Coast Guard is also implementing surcharges for pilotage associations to recoup training costs.
