Public Meeting
The meeting will be held—

p.m., at Hyatt Regency New Orleans,
Cabildo Room, Poydras at Loyola

Questions
We need the public’s assistance in
answering the following questions, and
any additional information provided on
this topic is welcome.
In responding to each question, please
explain your reasons for each answer as
specifically as possible so that we can
carefully weigh the consequences and
impacts of any future actions we may
take.
(1) Towing vessels of a certain size
(300 or more gross register tons) are
already inspected vessels and are
subject to a variety of existing
requirements. Should the Coast Guard
use any of these existing standards (or
standards for other types of inspected
vessels) for incorporation into the new
regulations regarding the inspection of
towing vessels? If so, which regulations
or standards should be incorporated
into these new regulations?
(2) Title 46, United States Code,
specifies the items covered with regard
to inspected vessels including
lifesaving, firefighting, hull, propulsion
equipment, machinery and vessel
equipment. However, the legislation
that added towing vessels to the list of
inspected vessels, authorized that the
Coast Guard may prescribe different
standards for towing vessels than for
other types of inspected vessels. What,
if any, different standards should be
considered with regard to inspected
towing vessel requirements from other
inspected vessels?
(3) Towing vessels vary widely in
terms of size, horsepower, areas of
operation, and type of operation. Under
what circumstances, if any, should a
towing vessel be exempt from the
requirements as an inspected vessel?
(4) Should existing towing vessels be
given time to implement requirements,
be ‘‘grandfathered’’ altogether from
them, or should this practice vary from
requirement to requirement?
(5) Should existing towing vessels be
treated differently from towing vessels
yet to be built?
(6) The same act that requires
inspection of towing vessels authorizes
the Coast Guard to develop a safety
management system appropriate for the
towing vessels. If such a system is
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
developed, should its use be required
for all inspected towing vessels?
(7) Examples of existing safety
management systems include the
international safety management (ISM)
code and the American Waterways
Operators Responsible Carrier Program.
If a safety management system is used,
what elements should be included in
such a system?
Procedural
The meeting is open to the public.
Attendees may make oral presentations
during the meeting. Please note that the
meeting may close early if all business
is finished.
