Charts and Publications

Administration (NOAA), Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice to advise the public of
changes to the printing and distribution
of NOAA’s nautical charts, including
digital charts, and to seek public
comment.
AGENCY:
NOAA is making significant
changes to nautical chart printing and
distribution, and is seeking public
comment. This notice informs the
public of the Office of Coast Survey’s
approach to expanding navigation
products and services, and explains
how mariners may continue to access
the nautical charts necessary for safe
navigation of U.S. waters and to meet
regulatory carriage requirements.
DATES: Written, faxed, or emailed
comments are due by midnight,
February 3, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments by mail
to Director, Office of Coast Survey, 1315
East-West Highway #6216, Silver

online NOAA Nautical Inquiry &
Comment System at https://

NOAA is
privatizing the printing of nautical
charts. Regulations that govern nautical
chart and publication carriage
requirements remain unchanged. These
regulations are found in 33 CFR 164 and
Title 46 of the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
After April 13, 2014, NOAA-certified
Print-on-Demand (POD) charts will be
the only official source available for
mariners to obtain NOAA paper nautical
charts. NOAA-certified POD charts,
available since 1999 through certified
POD partners, are official paper nautical
charts that are up-to-date at the time of
printing. These charts are considered
‘‘published’’ by NOAA’s National Ocean
Service, and therefore meet chart
carriage requirements.
POD charts are currently available
from NOAA commercial partners
OceanGrafix (https://
www.oceangrafix.com) and East View
Geospatial (https://www.geospatial.com).
If you are interested in becoming a POD
chart provider, learn more at our Web
site at https://
www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/pod/
PODpartner.htm.
NOAA is also making nautical chart
information available digitally in three
new ways, and is seeking feedback on
these three changes.
1. For a three-month trial period
(October 22, 2013 to January 22, 2014),
NOAA is providing free digital chart
image files in PDF (Portable Document
Format) file format. The free PDF chart
files are available for public use. The
digital charts are also available as
NOAA-certified Print-on-Demand
charts. NOAA will evaluate the usage
and user feedback to decide whether to
continue providing public access to PDF
nautical charts. Please note that the free
PDF charts do not meet chart carriage
requirements under federal regulations
unless printed to NOAA quality
standards by a NOAA-certified POD
partner. Download PDF charts at
www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/pdfcharts.
2. NOAA’s Office of Coast Survey is
providing high-resolution NOAA raster
navigational charts (NOAA RNC®) for
public testing and evaluation. The
Office of Coast Survey is upgrading the
image quality from the current 254 DPI
to 400 DPI to improve clarity,
readability, and aesthetics of this digital
charting product. The evaluation
dataset, which is kept up-to-date like
the current RNCs, is available for
download for Tampa Bay, Detroit, Long
Island Sound, and Puget Sound. If no
problems are identified or left

unresolved, Coast Survey intends to
upgrade all RNCs to 400 dpi by
February 2014. Software product
developers and RNC users are invited to
provide comments or questions
regarding this new service. Download
the evaluation datasets at
www.charts.noaa.gov/RNCs_400/.
3. An online seamless viewer of
NOAA’s electronic navigational charts
(NOAA ENC®) is available for public
use at the Web site https://
www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/
ENCOnline/. NOAA ENC Online
optimizes the viewing of the entire ENC
suite, using the display rules defined by
the International Hydrographic
Organization’s S–52 standards,
Specifications for Chart Content and
Display Aspects of ECDIS. The public is
invited to provide comments or
questions regarding this new service.

effectiveness, successful outcomes and
any or all of the dimensions of quality
such as accessibility, availability,
efficiency, continuity, safety, timeliness
and respectfulness. Council on

Respondents are military service
members and their families who
accessed Military OneSource for
support for an inquiry or issue and
agreed to provide satisfaction feedback.
Respondent feedback is captured using
two methods: An outreach call or via an
email containing a link to the feedback
Web site. When outreach calls are made,
respondents are interviewed and a staff
person enters those responses into a
feedback form. Respondents may also
elect to complete feedback via an
electronic form, which is emailed to the
respondent. All respondents who
contact Military OneSource are asked to
provide feedback about their Military
OneSource experience, though on
average only about 1–2% of respondents
provide feedback.
