Title: ●Automatic Identification System; Vessel Carriage Requirement (USCG-2003-14757) | |
Abstract: The Coast Guard will amend certain ports and waterways regulations to reflect vessel carriage requirements, and technical and performance standards for an automatic identification system (AIS). The rule will implement the AIS vessel requirements of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements adopted under International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS), as amended. The changes will require AIS on all SOLAS vessels and certain other commercial vessels. The rule will facilitate vessel communications, enhance good order and predictability, promote safe navigation, expand maritime domain awareness, and improve upon existing operating measures on our nation's waterways. This rulemaking replaces a rulemaking we have withdrawn, RIN 1625-AA61 (Formerly 2115-AG36). We have withdrawn that rulemaking and have replaced it with this one that will specifically respond to the MTSA, including its requirement to publish a temporary interim rule (TIR). The TIR will focus on SOLAS vessels in all waters and domestic vessels operating in Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) and Vessel Movement Reporting System (VMRS) areas only. The public will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the TIR. Separate from this rulemaking, a notice will also be published seeking comments on AIS carriage requirements for non-VTS or non-VMRS areas, such as for other navigable waters per MTSA or domestic vessels over 500 gross tons per SOLAS. This new rulemaking supports Coast Guard strategic goals of maritime safety, maritime security, protection of natural resources and maritime mobility. | |
