Title: Classification Society Approval
Abstract: This rule would incorporate the provisions of 46 U.S.C. 3316(c) regarding approval of classification societies into 46 CFR part 2. Federal law requires that classification societies conducting certain work in the United States be approved by the Coast Guard. In this rule, we detail application procedures and performance standards that classification societies must meet in order to obtain approval by the Coast Guard. Through this rule, we seek to improve marine safety and environmental protection by assuring the consistency and quality of work conducted by classification societies that review, examine, survey, or certify the construction, repair, or alteration of a vessel in the United States.
