Background and Purpose
NVIC 11–93, which was last revised
in November 2003, provides guidance
on tonnages used for documentation
purposes and the applicability of a
vessel’s tonnage assignment under
domestic regulatory and international
tonnage measurement systems to both
domestic regulations and international
standards. It also clarifies the
applicability of U.S. tonnage
measurement systems to U.S. flag
vessels based on vessel type, length,
service, and vessel keel laid date or date
of last substantial alteration. Definitions
of frequently used terms, including
convention length and deck cargo are
provided to ensure consistency for users
of NVIC 11–93.
Since its latest revision, multiple
regulations and standards with tonnage
thresholds, such as Non-Tank Vessel
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
Response Plans, Long Range
Identification Tracking System, and the
International Convention for the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships
(MARPOL) Annex VI, have come into
force. To reflect these developments and
incorporate updates of an administrative
nature, the Coast Guard is considering
the following changes:
(1) Adding new enclosures discussing
the implications of tonnage changes that
result from vessel alterations, changes in
vessel service, or the addition of
temporary deck equipment. This would
include discussion of loss of tonnage
grandfathering provisions under Article
3(2)(d) of the 1969 International
Tonnage Convention and associated
interim schemes for the Safety of Life At
Sea (SOLAS) and Prevention of
Pollution from Ships (MARPOL)
international conventions.
(2) Amending Section 2 of Enclosure
1. The Coast Guard would clarify the
definition of the terms, ‘‘overall length’’
and ‘‘remeasurement,’’ to provide more
detail on their applicability. We would
also add the terms, ‘‘registered length’’
and ‘‘alternate tonnage.’’
(3) Providing additional examples of
tonnage application. The Coast Guard
will provide examples of tonnage
application that are reflective of newly
implemented domestic regulations and
international standards.
(4) Amending Tables 5, 6, and 7 of
Enclosure 1. The Coast Guard will
revise language in Tables 5, 6, and 7 to
more comprehensively address
international tonnage grandfathering
provisions, and reflect the correct date
that MARPOL came into force.
(5) Incorporating administrative
changes such as updating contact
information and making editorial
corrections.
Request for Comments
The Coast Guard requests your
general comments on the revision under
consideration. We also seek comments
on any or all of the specific proposed
revisions for NVIC 11–93 CH–3. We
encourage suggestions for specific
examples of tonnage grandfathering,
remeasurement, or the use of interim
schemes. Written comments and
responses will be added to the docket
number for this notice (USCG–2010–
0025). The Coast Guard intends to
review and analyze all comments
received in order to develop the next
revision to NVIC 11–93.
Authority: This notice is issued under
authority of 5 U.S.C. 552 and 46 U.S.C.
