Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 104 / Tuesday, May 31, 2011 / Notices
suggested they support the manning
exemption, at least to some extent.
Four commenters suggested the
timely notice requirement for engaging
foreign officers is too burdensome or
impracticable. The Coast Guard agrees
in some cases that a timely advance
notice of a vacancy may be
impracticable. The Coast Guard has
revised its final policy guidance under
6.(a)(v) to include the wording ‘‘to the
extent practicable.’’ However, since
licensed positions often have contracts
associated with them, it is reasonable
for an owner/operator to have an idea
when a position may become vacant and
to advertise appropriately. The Coast
Guard considered timely notice further
and reduced the position vacancy
announcement from 60 days to 30 days
for a position becoming available.
Five commenters suggested qualified
U.S.-licensed mariners are hard to find,
while one commenter suggested the
exemption was meant only for vessels
working from American Samoa, and
temporary so owners could train U.S.
citizens to fill officer vacancies. The
Coast Guard agrees that the temporary
exemption is a recognition of the
difficulty DWTF vessel owners/
operators have historically dealt with
when seeking to find qualified U.S.licensed mariners, but notes that the
temporary exemption represents an
additional opportunity for DWTF vessel
owners/operators to develop capacity
and skills of United States mariners to
fill licensed positions on those vessels.
Two commenters supported at least
annual port calls in American Samoa
while two commenters did not support
requiring port calls in American Samoa.
The Coast Guard maintains that at least
one annual port call in American Samoa
shall occur if foreign licensed mariners
are sought and utilized on a United
States flagged DWTF vessel, as the
manning exemption is only applicable
to vessels operating in and out of
America Samoa.
One commenter supported adding
Taiwan to the list of acceptable
countries listed in the International
Maritime Organizations (IMO’s) so
called ‘‘White List.’’ This comment is
outside of the scope of the policy
announced in this policy letter, as the
United States cannot on its own revise
the IMO ‘‘White List’’.
One commenter offered alternative
proposals to demonstrate nonavailability of U.S. Officers. The Coast
Guard, on a case-by-case basis, may
consider alternative approaches in
demonstrating non-availability if the
approach demonstrates that the vessel
owner/operator satisfies the
requirements of the law.

One commenter suggested the policy
cannot be classified as an interpretive
rule because the policy imposes
additional duties and requirements. The
Coast Guard disagrees; any additional
duties and requirements may be traced
to the statutory exemption. For instance,
the law requires that there be nonavailability of United States licensed
workers; this policy describes the means
by which a DWTF vessel owner/
operator may demonstrate such nonavailability, namely by recounting the
good faith efforts made to locate and
hire United States licensed mariners.
However, in response to this comment,
the Coast Guard reduced some of the
information requested in the draft
policy, including wages, benefits, and
Department of Labor worker codes.
The final policy lists an additional
item under Guidance 6 a.(vii) not listed
in the draft policy that requires the
owner/operator to make a written
agreement with each seaman employed
on the vessel, on a voyage from a port
in the United States. This existing legal
requirement can be found in Title 46
United States Code § 10601 (Fishing
Agreements), and was added to the
policy to aid in compliance.
This notice is issued under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).
