Title: Vessel Monitoring Systems; Requirements for Enhanced Mobile Transceiver Unit and Mobile Communication Service Type Approval | |
Abstract: This action proposes to update the regulations that require enhanced mobile transceiver unit type-approval holders to renew their type-approvals. All vessels participating in a NOAA Vessel Monitoring System program are required to acquire a NMFS-approved enhanced mobile transceiver unit to comply with the Vessel Monitoring System requirements. The enhanced mobile transceiver units are type-approved for use in the program by the NMFS Office of Law Enforcement pursuant to the specifications in regulations. Under the existing regulations, a type-approval is valid for three years and a type-approval holder must seek renewal of the type-approval prior to the end of the type-approval period. This proposed amendment to current regulations eliminates the type-approval renewal requirement. | |
