Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
Summary
The Coast Guard proposes to amend advance notification requirements in the Notice of Arrival regulations for vessels bound for ports or places in the United States. In addition to the information already required by these regulations, the proposed changes would require the owner, master, operator, agent, or person in charge of the vessel to identify the charterer(s) of their vessel. With the proposed addition of the charterer information in the notice, we will be able to better identify the charterers associated with substandard vessels.
