        <RULE_TITLE>Lifesaving Equipment-Implementation of 1983 Amendments to SOLAS 1974 (CGD 84-069)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[As part of the President's Regulatory Review Initiative to remove or revise unnecessary government regulations, this rule removes numerous obsolete sections from the Code of Federal Regulations and eliminates duplication of other provisions by consolidating the lifesaving requirements for most U.S. inspected vessels making them consistent with the substantive provisions of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention of 1974, to the maximum extent practicable. It not only implements the provisions of chapter III of SOLAS, as amended, but also revises lifesaving regulations for Great Lakes vessels and certain vessels in domestic trade, which are not covered by SOLAS. The rule also replaces many prescriptive regulations with performance-based alternatives. This project also supports the Coast Guard's Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program's goal to reduce crew member deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels and the Coast Guard's strategic goal of marine safety.]]></ABSTRACT>
