<body>
<p>The Coast Guard&nbsp;is proposing&nbsp;to amend&nbsp;certain&nbsp;Great Lakes Pilotage&nbsp;regulatory requirements&nbsp;to align with current Coast Guard and U.S. pilot association operations&nbsp;and&nbsp;pilotage practices.&nbsp; This rulemaking would clarify the different phases of&nbsp;training and&nbsp;registrations&nbsp;for&nbsp;pilots who work on the Great Lakes.&nbsp; The proposed rule would also&nbsp;<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;335559740&quot;:480}">align medical requirements and radar observer training requirements for pilots with existing&nbsp;Merchant Mariners Credential&nbsp;regulations&nbsp;in 46 CFR parts 10-15.&nbsp; This rulemaking would also clarify&nbsp;both the pilot reporting requirements for marine&nbsp;accidents and&nbsp;the&nbsp;pilotage billing dispute process.</span></p>
