<body>
<p>This rulemaking would revise regulations associated with the approval, carriage, and maintenance of certain safety equipment required on board vessels and offshore units or facilities.&nbsp; These proposed revisions would eliminate outdated requirements, reduce inspection and testing requirements, and update standards incorporated by reference. Additionally, this project would remove obsolete sections and align conflicting sections with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. This rule is consistent with Executive Order 14058, which directs agencies to take actions that improve service delivery and customer experience by decreasing administrative burdens, enhancing transparency, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government.</p>
