Automatic Identification System; Vessel Carriage Requirement

The Coast Guard is announcing its policy and intent to establish one uniform compliance date for U.S. domestic vessels subject to Automatic Identification System carriage regulations while transiting a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) area. On July 1, 2003, the Coast Guard published a temporary interim rule that established 3 different compliance dates, depending on particular VTS areas. This policy statement aligns these dates with the deadline date of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.
