the appropriate precautions to take.

Need: Title 46 CFR parts 30 to 40, 151, 153, and 154 govern the

1990 [Pub. L. 101-508], which amended 46 U.S.C. 2110, requires the

Coast Guard to collect user fees from inspected vessels. To properly

collect and manage these fees, the Coast Guard must have current
