SUMMARY: By this notice, the Coast

require all first class pilots on vessels
greater than 1600 gross registered tons
(GRT), and other individuals who
‘‘serve as’’ pilots on certain types of
vessels greater than 1600 GRT, to
provide the passing results of their
annual chemical test for dangerous
drugs to the Coast Guard, subject to
certain exceptions. In addition, the
Coast Guard is extending the deadline
for pilots to submit the most recent copy
of their annual physical examination.

DATES: Unless excepted under 46 CFR
16.220(c), each pilot must do the
following: Submit the passing results of
his or her most recent annual chemical
test for dangerous drugs to the Coast
Guard on or before April 11, 2007;
submit the passing results of his or her
annual chemical test for dangerous
drugs to the Coast Guard no later than
30 calendar days after receiving the
results of the test; and undergo a
chemical test for dangerous drugs
annually within 30 calendar days of the
anniversary date of the individual’s
most recent chemical test for dangerous
drugs.
In addition, the Coast Guard is
extending the deadline for pilots to
submit a copy of their most recent
physical examinations until April 11,
2007. This information was initially
requested to be submitted to the Coast
Guard no later than December 27, 2006
in a Federal Register notice published
on September 28, 2006 at 71 FR 56999.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 28, 2006, the Coast Guard
provided notice that it is exercising its
authority to require first class pilots on
vessels greater than 1600 GRT, and
those individuals who ‘‘serve as’’ pilots
in accordance with 46 CFR 15.812(b)(3)
& (c) on vessels greater than 1600 GRT,
to submit copies of their annual
physical examinations to the Coast
Guard. 71 Fed. Reg. 56999. Copies of
that notice, as well as this notice are
available electronically by searching for
docket number USCG–2006–25522 at
https://dms.dot.gov. The purpose of the
physical examination notice was to
implement the recommendation made
by the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB), in their report on the
2003 allision of the Staten Island Ferry
ANDREW J. BARBERI, that the Coast
Guard require submission of annual
pilot physicals. This notice is a
continuation of the Coast Guard’s efforts
to fully implement the NTSB’s
recommendation.
Coast Guard regulations require that,
unless excepted under 46 CFR
16.220(c), each pilot who is required to
complete an annual physical
examination must also pass a chemical
test for dangerous drugs, and that he or
she must submit the passing (i.e.
negative) results of the chemical test to
the Coast Guard when applying for
license renewal, or when requested by
the Coast Guard. 46 CFR 16.220(b). This
includes first class pilots on vessels
greater than 1600 GRT, and those
individuals who ‘‘serve as’’ pilots in
accordance with 46 CFR 15.812(b)(3) &

(c) on vessels greater than 1600 GRT.
Individuals who ‘‘serve as’’ pilots on
vessels of not more than 1600 GRT are
not required to complete an annual
physical or pass an annual chemical test
for dangerous drugs. Positive results of
any Coast Guard required chemical test
must be reported to the Coast Guard
under other existing regulatory
authority in 46 CFR part 16.
In accordance with 46 CFR 16.220(c),
individuals are excepted from the
chemical test requirements if they
provide satisfactory evidence that they
have: (1) Passed a chemical test for
dangerous drugs required by 46 CFR
part 16 within the previous six months
with no subsequent positive chemical
tests during the remainder of the sixmonth period; or (2) during the previous
185 days been subject to a random
testing program required by 46 CFR
16.230 for at least 60 days and did not
fail or refuse to participate in a chemical
test for dangerous drugs required
pursuant to 46 CFR part 16.
This notice serves as the request,
pursuant to the authority set forth in 46
CFR 16.220(b), that all first class pilots
on vessels greater than 1600 GRT, and
all other individuals who ‘‘serve as’’
pilots in accordance with 46 CFR
15.812(b)(3) & (c) on vessels greater than
1600 GRT, provide the passing results of
their annual chemical tests for
dangerous drugs to the Coast Guard,
unless they provide satisfactory
evidence that they have met the
exceptions stated in 46 CFR 16.220(c).
This information should be submitted to
the Regional Examination Center (REC)
which issued the mariner’s license.
The Coast Guard may initiate
appropriate administrative action, up to
and including suspension or revocation
of the mariner’s credential in
accordance with 46 CFR part 5, if any
licensed pilot serves as a first class pilot
on vessels greater than 1600 GRT, or any
other individual who ‘‘serves as’’ a pilot
in accordance with 46 CFR 15.812(b)(3)
& (c) on vessels greater than 1600 GRT,
fails to submit the results of his or her
annual chemical test for dangerous
drugs or satisfactory evidence that he or
she has met the exceptions in 46 CFR
16.220(c).
Individuals with pilot licenses, pilot
endorsements, master licenses and mate
licenses (and individuals applying for
those credentials) who do not serve as
first class pilots on vessels greater than
1600 GRT, and do not otherwise ‘‘serve
as’’ pilots in accordance with 46 CFR
15.812(b)(3) & (c) on vessels greater than
1600 GRT, do not need to submit the
passing results of an annual chemical
test for dangerous drugs pursuant to 46
CFR 16.220(b); however, they must do

so before serving as first class pilots on
vessels greater than 1600 GRT, or before
otherwise ‘‘serving as’’ pilots in
accordance with 46 CFR 15.812(b)(3) &
(c) on vessels greater than 1600 GRT.
In addition, in response to the notice
published September 28, 2006
referenced above, the Coast Guard
received a number of requests to extend
the initial deadline of December 27,
2006 for pilots to submit a copy of their
most recent physical examination in
order to provide more time for
compliance. The Coast Guard agrees and
is extending the deadline to April 11,
2007.
