Adoption of Industry Standards

As part of the President's Regulatory Reinvention, the Coast Guard is proposing to amend its regulations governing both inspected and uninspected commercial vessels by removing or revising obsolete and unnecessary provisions and incorporating industry standards and practices. The provisions proposed for removal or revision are categorized as: Regulations discussing equipment which is no longer manufactured or used; Regulations imposing requirements that are repeated in another, more useful section; Regulations imposing requirements which make a negligible contribution to shipboard safety; Regulations which can be replaced by an appropriate industry consensus standard or practice; and, Regulations which merely repeat statutory language. The Coast Guard expects these amendments will reduce the regulatory burden to the maritime industry, reduce the administrative burden to government and industry, reduce government printing costs, and provide a more concise and useful Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations.
