Title: ●Potable Water Standards for Inspected Vessels 
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes adding regulations in title 46 Code of Federal Regulations to require that water supplied for washing and drinking by passengers and crew must meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stands for potable water in title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, parts 1240 and 1250. This action is being taken as a result of amendments to title 46, United States Code, section 3305(a) in the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Authorization Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-293, August 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 expect this proposed rule to have little impact on inspected vessels.
