DHS/USCG RIN: 1625-AB74 Publication ID: Fall 2011 
Title: ●Tonnage Regulations Amendments 
Abstract: The Coast Guard proposes to amend 46 CFR part 69. The proposed amendments incorporate statutory amendments made by section 303 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010. The Act requires that foreign flag vessels that engage solely on domestic voyages and undocumented vessels are measured under the International Convention. The Act also clarifies under what circumstances a vessel may use its tonnage measured under the Regulatory Measurement System to apply tonnage thresholds in international standards. The proposed rule also codifies existing Coast Guard policy previously developed to address advances in vessel technology and design that impact how tonnage should be measured.
