Medical and Physical Evaluation Guidelines for Merchant Mariner Credentials

The Coast Guard announces the availability of, and seeks public comment on, a draft Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) to replace the existing NVIC 2-98, "Physical Evaluation Guidelines for Merchant Mariner's Documents and Licenses." The new proposed NVIC is entitled "Medical and Physical Evaluation Guidelines for Merchant Mariner Credentials." It will be officially numbered if and when it becomes effective. The contents of this NVIC were developed from recommendations and input provided by the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee (MERPAC) and experienced maritime community medical practitioners. A copy of the proposed NVIC has been posted to the public docket for this notice, and it is available as described under ADDRESSES.
