Temporary rule; change of effective date.

The Coast Guard is extending the effective period for the temporary rule on notification of arrival requirements to March 31, 2003. Extension of the effective period will ensure sufficient time to complete the permanent 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.
