The CVSSA amended Title 46 U.S.C. Chapter 35 by adding sections 3507 (Passenger vessel security and safety requirements) and 3508 (Crime scene preservation training for passenger vessel crewmembers). The CVSSA prescribes security and safety requirements for passenger vessels with overnight accommodations for more than 250 passengers, not engaged in a coastwise voyage and that embarks and disembarks passengers in the United States. 46 U.S.C. 3507(k). Some of the safety and security concerns addressed in the Act include: Updated ship design; providing public access to information regarding crime aboard cruise ships; improved precautions, response, medical care and support for victims of sexual assault; and preservation of evidence necessary to prosecute criminals. The Coast Guard intends to promulgate regulations and/or policy when appropriate to comply with, or clarify as needed, the requirements set forth in the CVSSA. This Notice is soliciting comments from the public on two mandates of the CVSSA: Overboard detection technology and video surveillance. Specifically, 46 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D) mandates the cruise vessel shall integrate technology that can be used for capturing images of passengers or detecting passengers who have fallen overboard, to the extent that such technology is available. Under 46 U.S.C. 3507(b) the cruise vessel owner shall maintain a video surveillance system to assist in documenting crimes that occur on the vessel, and provide law enforcement officials in the course and scope of an investigation a copy of the video records if needed. Questions: The Coast Guard is asking for public comment on the following questions. It would be helpful if commenters answer the questions as specifically as possible, and then provide explanations, if any, for the responses. (1) If applicable, what is your position in the maritime community? (Please be as specific as possible, e.g., captain of a cruise of vessels, vessel security officer, owner/operator of cruise vessel, past/ future passenger, advocacy group, professional organization, etc.) VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:12 May 24, 2011 Jkt 223001 (2) If you work in the maritime community, do you: a. Use equipment to detect persons falling overboard? If yes, what is the equipment, and how reliable is the equipment? b. What alternative source(s) for detecting persons falling overboard would you recommend? How would you rate the alternative source(s) in terms of: (A) User cost and (B) reliability and usefulness of the information? (3) Do industry best practices for placement and retention of video recording devices exist? If yes, please specify what they are and how effective they have been in helping law enforcement officials prosecute offenders. Comments regarding these provisions and any other pertinent matters brought to our attention during the comment period will be taken into account in our future actions regarding the issues raised by these questions. We encourage you to provide your comments as we move forward with implementing the provisions of the CVSSA. Authority: This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a). Dated: May 20, 2011.
