reformatted, and are now presented as
Volume III Part B, chapters 1 through 7.
In the draft revision, these proposed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Volume III of the Marine Safety
Manual (MSM) provides information
and interpretations on international
conventions and U.S. statutory and
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
regulatory issues relating to marine
industry personnel. The last revisions to
Volume III of the MSM were released on
May 27, 1999. This supplemental notice
announces updates to portions of legacy
chapters 20 through 26.
On August 9, 2013, the Coast Guard
published a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the availability of
a draft update to MSM Volume III and
requested public comments on the draft
(See 78 FR 48696). Specifically, the
substantive changes announced in that
notice included: (1) updated provisions
for vessel manning, including guidance
for the issuing of safe manning
documents; (2) clarified roles,
responsibilities, and facilitation of
communications with the appropriate
offices at Coast Guard Headquarters in
alignment with current Coast Guard
organization; and (3) revised discussion
on the impact of multiple international
standards, including the Officer’s
Competency Certificates Convention
(OCCC) 1936, the International
Convention for Safety of Life at Sea
(SOLAS), the Global Maritime Distress
and Safety System (GMDSS), and the
Principles of Minimum Safe Manning
(IMO Resolution A.1047(27)).
Additionally, the draft clarified the
applicability of tonnage measurement
systems to U.S. flag vessels, and
included changes resulting from the
consolidation of merchant mariner
qualification credentials, including the
removal of references to the operated
uninspected towing vessel endorsement.
We received fifteen public comment
responses to the August 9, 2013 Federal
Register notice. These comment
responses contained a total of
approximately 130 specific
recommendations, suggestions, and
other comments. We have created a
document that provides a summary of
each comment and the corresponding
Coast Guard response, as well as
internal Coast Guard comments and
changes made to incorporate the STCW
Final Rule. A copy of this public
comment matrix is available for viewing
in the public docket for this notice. For
more detailed information, please
consult the actual public comment
letters in the docket. You may access the
docket going to https://
www.regulations.gov, using ‘‘USCG–
2013–0240’’ as your search term, and
following the instructions in the
ADDRESSES section above.
The basic ideas and principles
encompassed in the initial draft change
remain. Some commenters raised
concerns and objections over several
proposed revisions to the MSM. In
response to these comments, the Coast
Guard has made some additional
