Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking; change of effective period of temporary rule.
Summary
The Coast Guard proposes to extend to March 31, 2003, the effective period for the temporary rule on notification of arrival requirements. Extension of the effective period would ensure sufficient time to complete the rulemaking. Continuing the temporary rule in effect while the permanent rulemaking is in progress will help to ensure the security of our ports and the uninterrupted flow of maritime commerce during that period.
