Summary
Notice of proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard proposes removing six requirements related to endorsements for the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended, and the Seafarer's Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping Code. Changes would affect Masters and Officers in Charge of a Navigational Watch of less than 500 GT in near-coastal waters; Officers in Charge of an Engineering Watch, Designated Duty Engineers, and Electro-technical Ratings of 750 kW/1,000 HP or more. This proposed action includes technical revisions to remove duplicative or outdated language from the regulatory text, reduces regulatory burdens, and promotes equivalent compliance standards with international requirements.
