Expanded Hull Identification Number and New Requirements for Certificates of Origin

In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published May 6, 1994, the Coast Guard proposed amendments to the regulations concerning vessel Hull Identification Numbers (HIN) and new regulations requiring Certificates of Origin for new vessels offered for sale in the United States. Comments were required to be received by September 6, 1994. The Coast Guard has received comments from various parties opposing the proposed 19 character HIN and one comment from an association seeking an extension of the comment period. This notice announces a workshop to discuss the proposed expanded HIN, and reopens the comment period on this rulemaking.
