Training in the Use of Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA)

This rulemaking was initiated to established a requirement for training in the use of ARPA for licensed deck officers on vessels fitted with ARPA units. Existing International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines were used in drafting the proposed requirements. These IMO guidelines and other requirements were recently reflected in the 1995 Amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). As a result, the Coast Guard is withdrawing this proposed rulemaking with the intention of initiating a new rulemaking implementing the new STCW requirements when they become effective in February 1997.
