SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Mississippi; Amendment No. 1 to
Notice of an Emergency Declaration
Background and Purpose
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard determines the
maximum number of persons permitted
on a vessel by several factors, including
the total weight of people carried based
on an Assumed Average Weight per
Person (AAWPP). The Coast Guard
published a Final Rule (75 FR 78064,
December 14, 2010), which updated the
AAWPP for new and existing inspected
passenger vessels and is available in the
docket. The relevant portions of the
final rule will become effective on
December 1, 2011. Because of the large
number of passenger vessels affected by
the Final Rule, it is not practical for the
Coast Guard to amend all stability
letters and Certificates of Inspection
(COIs) prior to the effective date of the
new AAWPP, nor is it reasonable to
defer vessel operator compliance until
all vessel documents are updated.
For this reason, the policy letter
referred to in this notice provides
supplemental guidance to the
implementation discussion contained in
the preamble to the Final Rule. This
policy letter provides guidance for
existing passenger vessels and contains
acceptable methods for passenger vessel
owners and operators to demonstrate
compliance with the new AAWPP. It
also outlines procedures to be followed
by both passenger vessel owners and
operators and the Coast Guard in order
to verify compliance and amend vessel
documents as may be needed. Finally,
the policy letter provides guidance on
an alternative to the AAWPP, described
in the final rule, that a vessel may use
if the owner/operator can demonstrate
that the average weight of passengers
and crew routinely carried on that
vessel differs significantly from the
published AAWPP.
This notice is issued under authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 46 CFR 176.
