        <RULE_TITLE>Alternate Hull Examination Program for Certain Passenger Vessels, and Underwater Surveys for Passenger, Nautical School, and Sailing School Vessels (USCG-2000-6858)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This regulatory project will establish hull examination alternatives and a drydock extension policy for qualifying passenger vessels that operate exclusively on benign, low-risk environments, and that have limited time under way. In addition, the proposed regulations would provide the option of alternating drydock examinations with underwater surveys for passenger vessels. This project supports the Coast Guard's strategic Marine Safety, Security and Environmental Protection Program's goal of mobility by facilitating commerce and eliminating interruptions and impediments to the economical movement of goods and people.]]></ABSTRACT>
