        <ADDITIONAL_INFO>On January 13, 1994 the Coast Guard published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM) containing the proposed completed revision of the regulations governing small passenger vessels. A new Subchapter K was introduced for small passenger vessels carrying more than 150 passengers or more than 49 overnight passengers. Seven public hearings were held throughout the country and the comment period closed June 13, 1994. An Interim Final Rule (IFR) was published on January 10, 1996. It provides an opportunity for public comment on those solutions. ^PANALYSIS:  Regulatory Evaluation, 01/30/89, 54 FR 4412^PRFA:  N</ADDITIONAL_INFO>
