Safety of Uninspected Passenger Vessels Under the Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993 (PVSA)

Samenvatting

The Coast Guard is announcing the approval of a collection-of- information requirement pertaining to the implementation of safety measures for uninspected passenger vessels over 100 gross tons, which carry 12 or fewer passengers for hire. The implementation allows owners, operators, and/or agents of those type vessels to submit an application for the issuance of a special permit to participate in a Marine Event of National Significance. It also allows the development of specific manning, structural fire protection, operating, and equipment requirements for a limited fleet of PVSA-exempted vessels.
