Title: ●Electronic Chart and Navigation Equipment Carriage Requirements | |
Abstract:
The Coast Guard seeks comments regarding the modification of the chart and navigational equipment requirements in titles 33 and 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations. This advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) outlines the Coast Guard’s broad strategy to revise the chart and navigational equipment requirements for all commercial U.S.-flagged vessels and foreign-flagged vessels operating in the waters of the United States to fulfill the electronic chart use requirements as required by statute. This ANPRM is necessary to obtain additional information from the public before issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking. It will allow us to verify the extent of the requirements for the rule, such as how widely electronic charts are used, who is using them, the appropriate equipment requirements for different vessel classes, and where they operate, allowing us to tailor electronic charts requirements to vessel class and location. |
