Automatic Identification System; Expansion of Carriage Requirements for U.S. Waters

The Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 requires certain vessels to carry an Automatic Identification System. In an interim rule published elsewhere in today's Federal Register, the Coast Guard is requiring Automatic Identification System carriage as agreed to by the international community in amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, and as directed by the Maritime Transportation Security Act. That rulemaking, however, covers only vessels on international voyages and certain vessels on specified waterways of the United States. This notice solicits comment on how best to address implementation on the remaining navigable waters of the U.S. for vessels not on international voyages.
