Explanation
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and permanent
rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided into 50 titles which represent
broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters
which usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year and issued
on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16..............................................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27 .................................................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41 ..................................................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50 .............................................................as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially noticed (44
U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie evidence of the text
of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual issues
of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its revision date
(in this case, October 1, 2008), consult the ‘‘List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA),’’
which is issued monthly, and the ‘‘Cumulative List of Parts Affected,’’ which
appears in the Reader Aids section of the daily Federal Register. These two lists
will identify the Federal Register page number of the latest amendment of any
given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source citations for
the regulations are referred to by volume number and page number of the Federal
Register and date of publication. Publication dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be exercised by the user in determining the
actual effective date. In instances where the effective date is beyond the cutoff date for the Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective
date. In those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be inserted following
the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96–511) requires Federal agencies
to display an OMB control number with their information collection request.

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are placed as
close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
OBSOLETE PROVISIONS
Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on the cover
of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text of provisions in
effect on a given date in the past by using the appropriate numerical list of
sections affected. For the period before January 1, 1986, consult either the List
of CFR Sections Affected, 1949–1963, 1964–1972, or 1973–1985, published in seven separate volumes. For the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ‘‘List of CFR Sections
Affected’’ is published at the end of each CFR volume.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was established
by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be valid, the Director of the Federal Register
must approve it. The legal effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C.
552(a)). This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the Federal Register
will approve an incorporation by reference only when the requirements of 1 CFR
part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent necessary to
afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for publication in
accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are listed in the
Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If you have any
problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in the Finding Aids of
this volume as an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency
that issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the
agency, you find the material is not available, please notify the Director of the
Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC
20408, or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a separate
volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR INDEX AND FINDING AIDS.
This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory Authorities and Agency
Rules (Table I). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and parts and an alphabetical
list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in this volume.
An index to the text of ‘‘Title 3—The President’’ is carried within that volume.
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. This index
is based on a consolidation of the ‘‘Contents’’ entries in the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to the
revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

§ 70.05–18 Applicability to vessels operating under an exemption afforded
in the Passenger Vessel Safety Act
of 1993 (PVSA).
(a) The Passenger Vessel Safety Act
of 1993 (PVSA) contained an allowance
for the exemption of certain passenger
vessels that are—
(1) At least 100 gross tons but less
than 300 gross tons; or
(2) Former public vessels of at least
100 gross tons but less than 500 gross
tons.
(b) The owner or operator of a vessel
must have applied for an exemption
under the PVSA by June 21, 1994, and
then brought the vessel into compliance with the interim guidance in
Navigation and Inspection Circular
(NVIC) 7–94 not later than December 21,
1996. The PVSA exemption is valid for
the service life of the vessel, as long as
the vessel remains certified for passenger service. If the Certificate of Inspection (COI) is surrendered or otherwise becomes invalid (not including a
term while the vessel is out of service
but undergoing an inspection for recertification), the owner or operator must
meet the appropriate inspection regulations to obtain a new COI without
the PVSA exemption. See 46 CFR

(a) Except as provided in paragraphs
(b), (c), and (d) of this section, the regulations in this subchapter that apply
to a vessel on an ‘‘international voyage’’ apply to a vessel that—
(1) Is mechanically propelled and carries more than 12 passengers; and
(2) Is engaged on a voyage—
(i) From a country to which the
International Convention for Safety of
Life at Sea, 1974, (SOLAS 74) applies, to
a port outside that country or the reverse;
(ii) From any territory, including the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, all possessions of the United States and all
lands held by the United States under
a protectorate or mandate, whose
international relations are the responsibility of a contracting SOLAS 74 government, or which is administered by
the United Nations, to a port outside
that territory or the reverse; or
(iii) Between the contiguous states of
the United States and the states of Hawaii or Alaska or between the states of
Hawaii and Alaska.

§ 70.10–1
regulations for vessels that operate
under the PVSA exemption.
Vessels inspected and certificated
under this subchapter may carry limited quantities of combustible liquid
cargo in bulk in the grades indicated,
provided the certificate of inspection is
endorsed to permit such carriage:
(a) Grade E in an integral tank; and
(b) Grade E in a portable tank, including a marine portable tank, in accordance with subpart 98.30 or 98.33 of
this chapter.

§ 70.05–20 Gross tonnage as a criterion
for requirements.
(a) The regulations in this subchapter, as well as referenced requirements in other subchapters in this
chapter, take into account the passenger vessel’s size, construction, and
equipment, as well as its intended service on the routes or waters on which it
is desired to be operated or navigated,
which are indications of the hazards to
which such vessel may be subjected.
The Commandant’s determinations in
this respect for a particular passenger
vessel are stipulated in a certificate of
inspection, which states certain terms
and conditions governing such vessel
when in operation.
(b) In applying the laws and regulations to passenger vessels, one criterion for invocation of safety standards is the description of passenger vessels by relative size in gross tons. When
it is determined by the Commandant
that the gross register tonnage for a
particular passenger vessel, which is
attained by exemptions, reductions, or
other devices in the basic gross tonnage formulation, will circumvent or
be incompatible with the application of
specific safety requirements in the passenger vessel regulations for a vessel of
such physical size, the Commandant
shall prescribe the regulations to be
made applicable to such vessel.
(c) When the Commandant determines that the gross register tonnage
is not a valid criterion for the invocation of safety requirements based on
relative size, the parties involved will
be informed of the determination and
of the regulations applicable to such
passenger vessel, and before being permitted to operate such vessel, compliance therewith shall be required. Endorsements or notations on the passenger vessel’s certificate of inspection
may be made as appropriate.

§ 71.50–15 Description of the Alternative Hull Examination (AHE) Program for certain passenger vessels.
The Alternative Hull Examination
(AHE) Program provides you with an
alternative to a drydock examination
by allowing your vessel’s hull to be examined while it remains afloat. If completed using only divers, this program
has four steps: the application process,
the preliminary examination, the presurvey meeting, and the hull examination. If the vessel is already participating in the program or if a remotely
operated vehicle (ROV) is used during
the program, the preliminary exam
step may be omitted. Once you complete these steps, the Officer in Charge,
Marine Inspection (OCMI), will evaluate the results and accept the examination as a credit hull exam if the vessel
is in satisfactory condition. If only divers are used for the underwater survey
portion of the examination process,
you may receive credit for a period of
time such that subsequent AHEs would
be conducted at intervals of twice in
every five years, with no more than
three years between any two AHEs.
The OCMI may waive an underwater
survey in accordance with § 71.50–29(d)
provided that the interval does not exceed five years between any two underwater surveys. If an underwater ROV is
used as the predominate method to examine the vessel’s underwater hull

the marine inspector is able to determine by internal examination of at
least one forward double-bottom fuel
oil tank, and by external examination
of all other double-bottom fuel oil
tanks on the vessel, that the general
condition of the tanks is satisfactory.
(e) All double-bottom fuel oil tanks
on vessels 15 years of age or older need
not be cleaned out and internally examined if the marine inspector is able
to determine by internal examination
of at least one forward, one amidships,
and one aft double-bottom fuel oil
tank, and by external examination of
all other double-bottom fuel oil tanks
on the vessel, the general condition of
the tanks is satisfactory.

Each passenger vessel which is 100
meters (328 feet) or more in length and
contracted for on or after September 7,
1990, must meet the following requirements:
(a) The field of vision from the navigation bridge, whether the vessel is in
a laden or unladen condition, must be
such that:
(1) From the conning position, the
view of the sea surface is not obscured
forward of the bow by more than the
lesser of two ship lengths or 500 meters
(1640 feet) from dead ahead to 10 degrees on either side of the vessel. Within this arc of visibility any blind sector
caused by cargo, cargo gear, or other
permanent obstruction must not exceed 5 degrees.
(2) From the conning position, the
horizontal field of vision extends over
an arc from at least 22.5 degrees abaft
the beam on one side of the vessel,

of the vessel. Blind sectors forward of
the beam caused by cargo, cargo gear,
or other permanent obstruction must
not exceed 10 degrees each, nor total
more than 20 degrees, including any
blind sector within the arc of visibility
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section.
(3) From each bridge wing, the field
of vision extends over an arc from at
least 45 degrees on the opposite bow,
through dead ahead, to at least dead
astern.
(4) From the main steering position,
the field of vision extends over an arc
from dead ahead to at least 60 degrees
on either side of the vessel.
(5) From each bridge wing, the respective side of the vessel is visible forward and aft.
(b) Windows fitted on the navigation
bridge must be arranged so that:
(1) Framing between windows is kept
to a minimum and is not installed immediately in front of any work station.

(k) Passenger or crew corridors over 8
feet in width will be considered as public spaces for the purpose of this subpart.
(l) Spaces which might be considered
as open decks due to the presence of
permanent openings to the weather in
one or more sides, or where any or all
sides may be completely open to the
weather, will be considered as interior
or enclosed spaces for the purpose of
this subpart if any spot on the overhead is more than 15 feet from the
nearest opening to the weather. This
requirement shall only apply to those
portions of the space as are under a

(2) Where balconies are formed by
penetrating one or more decks, the
bulkheads in the upper portion of the
space are, in effect, part of a stepped or
recessed deck and should be treated as
such for fire control purposes. In this
regard, particular attention should be
given to the protection of openings
with proper doors of the type indicated
in § 72.05–25(b)(9).

shall be so constructed that, if subjected to the standard fire test, they
would be capable of preventing the passage of flame for 1⁄2 hour. In addition,
their insulation value shall be such
that the average temperature of the

equivalent metal bulkheads into main
vertical zones, the mean length of
which shall not, in general, exceed 131
feet on any one deck. Where practicable, the main vertical zone bulkheads shall be kept in a single vertical
plane. However, on vessels designed for
special purposes, such as automobile or
railroad car ferries, where the installation of such bulkheads would defeat
the purpose for which the vessel is intended, equivalent means for controlling and limiting a fire may be substituted if specifically approved by the
Commandant.
(c) All bulkheads and decks shall be
classed as A–60, A–30, A–15, A–0, B–15,
B–0, or C, depending upon the type of
space on each side of the bulkhead or
above and below the deck.
(1) Bulkheads or decks of the ‘‘A’’
Class shall be composed of steel or
equivalent metal construction, suitably stiffened and made intact with the
main structure of the vessel, such as
shell, structural bulkheads, and decks.
They shall be so constructed that, if
subjected to the standard fire test,
they would be capable of preventing
the passage of smoke and flame for 1
hour. In addition, they shall be so insulated with approved structural insulation, bulkhead panels, or deck covering
that the average temperatures on the
unexposed side would not rise more
than 250 °F. above the original temperature, nor would the temperature at
any one point, including any joint, rise
more than 325 °F. above the original
temperature, within the time listed

flame nor the limiting of temperature
rise.
(d) The minimum requirements for
the bulkheads between the various
spaces, where such bulkheads form the
boundaries of main vertical zones, shall
be as noted in table 72.05–10(d).
(e) The minimum requirements for
the bulkheads between the various

or other materials having equivalent
fire-resistive qualities.
(o) Decking within surgical operating
rooms shall be of a type which is acceptably conductive to prevent accumulation of dangerous electrostatic
charges, and shall be in general agreement with ‘‘Code for Flammable Anesthetics’’ of issue in effect at the time
the construction or alteration of the
vessel is contracted for, published by
the National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy,
MA 02269.
(p) Decks in washrooms and toilet
spaces, service, cargo, and machinery
spaces, open decks, exterior safety
areas, and enclosed promenades may
have an overlay in any thickness. This
overlay need not meet the requirements for an approved deck covering.
(h) Where ceilings or linings are
fitted, ‘‘B’’ Class bulkheads, with the
exception of those forming passageways, may stop at the ceiling or lining
and need not continue to the deck or
shell, provided the ceiling and/or lining
is erected as indicated in paragraph (j)
of this section. However, draft stops
meeting at least Class B–0 requirements shall be fitted not more than 45
feet apart between the ceiling or lining
and the deck or shell. The space behind
the linings of stairways and similar
trunks shall have similar draft stops at
each deck.
(i) Where Class B–15 bulkhead panels
are required to go beyond the ceiling to
the deck above, or beyond the lining to
the shell, the portion of the bulkhead
panel within the void space need only
meet B–0 requirements.
(j) Where ‘‘B’’ Class panels are used,
all four edges of the panel shall be retained by continuous steel or equivalent metal flanges on both sides of the
panel offering at least 3⁄4 inch coverage.
The top and bottom flanges shall be so
attached to the structural decks above
and below so as to support and restrain
the panels in the event of fire. Other
methods of construction may be specifically approved by the Commandant
if determined to be equivalent.
(k) Any sheathing, furring, or holding pieces incidental to the securing of
structural insulation shall be of approved incombustible materials.
(l) Where linings or bulkhead panels
are framed away from the shell or
structural bulkheads, the deck within
the void space so formed need only
meet Class A-0 requirements.
(m) Decks within accommodation
spaces and inside safety areas may
have an overlay for leveling or finishing purposes which need not meet
the requirements for an approved deck
covering. Such an overlay will not be
considered as giving any insulating
value and may not in general exceed 3⁄8
of an inch in thickness. Greater
thicknesses may be specifically approved by the Commandant for specific
locations.
(n) Rugs and carpets may be used in
addition to any deck covering or overlay installed. Rugs and carpets used in
stairways or corridors shall be of wool,

accommodation
spaces and safety areas.
(a) Ceilings and linings and any furring incidental to their erection shall
be of approved incombustible materials. Where such ceilings or linings are
given credit for their insulating value
in obtaining a bulkhead or deck classification they shall be of Class B–15
bulkhead panel material, and the construction shall be as required by § 72.05–
10(j).
(b) Bulkheads, linings, and ceilings
may have a combustible veneer within
a room not to exceed 2⁄28 of an inch in
thickness. However, combustible veneers shall not be used in passageways
or stairway enclosures, or in spaces
specifically restricted by tables 72.05–10
(d) through (g).
(c) The total volume of combustible
face trim, moldings, and decorations,
including veneers, in any compartment
shall not exceed a volume equivalent
to 1⁄10 inch veneer on the combined area
of the walls of the compartment. Such
trim, molding, or decorations shall not
perform any structural function, and
shall not be used in corridors or stairway enclosures.
(d) Combustible veneers, trim, decorations, etc., shall not be used in or extend into hidden spaces such as behind

above or below being assumed to extend to the bulkheads and doors.
(3) Stairways or elevators to a balcony within a space need not be enclosed, provided the stairway or elevator serves only the space and the balcony within the space.
(d) For the purpose of this section,
stairways are identified as follows:
Type 1—Main Vertical Zone enclosed stair
towers.
Type 2—Enclosed stairways other than Type
1.
Type 3—Interior stairway not enclosed.
Type 4—Exterior stairways or exterior inclined ladders.
§ 72.05–20 Stairways, ladders, and elevators.
(a)(1) Except as further noted the
provisions of this section apply to all
vessels.
(2) For small vessels, special consideration for relief may be given where it
is shown to be unreasonable or impracticable to meet the detailed requirements for stairway size, slope, dimensioning, and landing area.
(3) Stairways, ladders, and elevators
within main machinery spaces or cargo
holds are not covered by the general
provisions of this section, but shall
meet the requirements of paragraph (b)
of this section.
(b) Stairways, ladders, and elevators
within main machinery spaces and
cargo holds shall meet the following
requirements:
(1) All stairways, ladders, and elevators shall be of steel.
(2) [Reserved]
(c) Deck penetrations shall meet the
following requirements:
(1) Where a continuous vertical deck
penetration for a stairway or elevator
exceeds one deck, the integrity of all
decks involved shall be assured by enclosure bulkheads and decks meeting
the applicable requirements of § 72.05–10
(d) through (g), and by doors at all levels meeting the requirements of § 72.05–
25(b)(9).
(2) Where only two decks are served
by a stairway or elevator, the integrity
of the deck involved may be assured as
noted in the preceding paragraph. Alternately, the integrity may be maintained at one level only by means of
bulkheads and by doors meeting the requirements of § 72.05–25(b)(9). If the lat-
(e) Each Main Vertical Zone shall be
served by at least one Type 1 stairway,
so that independent of adjoining Main
Vertical Zones, escape may be effected
from any accommodation space or any
other space where persons may be normally quartered or employed, to ALL
other decks having any such spaces
within the same Main Vertical Zone
without coming out of the stair tower
enclosure. Each Type 1 stairway shall
give access to the Embarkation Deck
or, if the Embarkation Deck does not
extend to the portion of the vessel in
question, to at least one weather deck
from which convenient communication
to the Embarkation Deck is provided
by means of Type 4 stairways. In cases
where a Type 1 stairway is accessible
from two Main Vertical Zones, it may
be considered as the required Type 1
stairway for both zones provided all
boundaries of the stairway meet Main
Vertical Zone requirements.
(f) Insofar as is reasonable and practicable, Types 1 and 2 stairways, and
all elevator enclosures, should not give
direct access to accommodations or
other enclosed spaces in which a fire
may originate.
(g) The furnishings for Types 1 and 2
stairways, and all elevator enclosures,
shall be as set forth in § 72.05–55(c).
(h) In general, curved, spiral, or
winding stairways will not be permitted. Relaxation from this requirement may be permitted, provided, in

proposed stairway is equivalent with
respect to safety and dimensions to the
stairways covered by this section.
(i) For all types of stairways, the
stairs, platforms, and landings shall be
of sufficient strength to sustain a load
of 100 pounds per square foot with a
factor of safety of 4 based on the ultimate strength.
(j) The stringers, treads, and all platforms and landings of all Types 1, 2,
and 3 stairways shall be of solid steel
construction. Risers shall be of approved incombustible material.
(k) For all types of stairways, handrails shall be fitted on both sides of the
stairs. For stairways in excess of 66
inches in width, additional center
handrails shall be provided. All handrails shall be fitted at a vertical height
above the tread at its nosing of between 33 and 36 inches.
(l) For all types of stairways, the
stair width shall be clear of all obstructions other than the handrails.
(m) Handrails and trim for all Types
1, 2, and 3 stairways shall be of approved ‘‘incombustible materials.’’
(n) For all types of stairways, there
shall be no variation in the width of
the stairs, the depth of the tread, or
the height of the risers in any flight.
Where variation in height of riser or
depth of tread in different flights is
necessary, such variations shall be
minimized.
(o) For all types of stairways, the
sum of the riser height and tread depth
shall be at least 17 inches and not more
than 18 inches. Types 1, 2, and 3 stairways having treads less than 10 inches
in depth shall have a nosing of one inch
or other means to provide additional
room on the tread.
(p) All stairways shall be dimensioned in accordance with table 72.05–

minimum width shall be determined on
a deck-by-deck basis. Except as further
noted, on any particular deck, only
those persons on that deck using the
stairway are involved in the width determination. However, once a minimum required width has been established at any one level, that width may
not be reduced at any subsequent deck
level in the direction of normal escape.
This does not prohibit the use of stair
widths exceeding the required minimum for any particular flight or
flights.

given to any Type 2 or 3 stairways that
may be available. If more than one
Type 1 stairway serves a particular
Main Vertical Zone, the persons shall
be distributed between the stairways
dependent upon the arrangements, and
the stairways shall be dimensioned accordingly. If in the normal operation of
the vessel, a Type 1 stairway is intended for a greater number of persons
than given by the foregoing, the larger
number shall be used.
(5) Types 2, 3, and 4 stairways shall be
dimensioned on a deck-by-deck basis as
described in this paragraph. In determining the number of persons using
the stairways, the normal operation of
the vessel shall be the determining factor. In this respect, if any particular
stairway forms part of a normal debarkation route, the number of persons
using the stairway for that purpose
shall be considered.
(q) All types of stairways designed
with a broken flight between any two
decks shall conform to the additional
requirements of this paragraph.
(1) Any interruption of the slope or
change of direction of the stairway
shall be accomplished by means of an
intermediate landing of rectangular or
nearly rectangular shape based on the
actual dimensions of the stairs landing
thereon.
(2) Each set of stairs of a broken
flight shall be dimensioned independently, and shall conform to the minimum stair widths given in table 72.05–
20(p).
(r) Landings for stairways shall be
provided in accordance with the applicable requirements of this paragraph.
(1) For all types of stairways, at the
top and bottom of each flight of stairs,
there shall be a clear landing having an
area at least equal to the square of the
actual stair tread width.
(2) For Type 1 stairways, there shall
be provided within the enclosure at
each deck level a landing having a minimum clear area in square feet, exclusive of the stairs, equal to 1.2 times the
number of persons from that deck
using the stairway.
(3) Where an aisle around a stairway
is required due to the relationship of
the flights, such aisle shall have a clear
width at all points at least equal to the
actual stair tread width.

at least one international shore connection complying with ASTM F 1121
(incorporated by reference, see § 76.01–
2). Facilities must be available enabling an international shore connection to be used on either side of the
vessel.
(d) Fire hydrants shall be of sufficient number and so located that any
part of the vessel, other than main machinery spaces, accessible to the passengers or crew while the vessel is
being navigated and all cargo holds
may be reached with at least two
streams of water from separate outlets,
at least one of which shall be from a
single length of hose. For the purpose
of this requirement, all watertight
doors and all doors in main vertical
zone bulkheads and stairway enclosures shall be closed, although hose
ports may be installed in doors other
than watertight doors and doors in
main vertical zone bulkheads for the
passage of the hose. In main machinery
spaces, all portions at such spaces shall
be capable of being reached by at least
two streams of water, each of which
shall be from a single length of hose
from separate outlets; however, this requirement need not apply to shaft
alleys containing no assigned space for
the stowage of combustibles. Fire hydrants shall be numbered as required
by § 78.47–20 of this subchapter.
(e) All parts of the fire main located
on exposed decks shall either be protected against freezing or be fitted
with cut-out valves and drain valves so
that the entire exposed parts of such
piping may be shut off and drained in
freezing weather. Except when closed
to prevent freezing, such valves shall
be sealed open.
(f) The outlet at each fire hydrant
shall be provided with a cock or valve
fitted in such a position that the fire
hose may be removed while the
firemain is under pressure. In addition,
the outlet shall be limited to any position from the horizontal to the vertical
pointing downward, so that the hose
will lead horizontally or downward to
minimize the possibility of kinking.
(g) Each fire hydrant must have at
least one length of fire hose, a spanner,
and a hose rack or other device for
stowing the hose.
(h) Fire hose shall be connected to
the outlets at all times. However, on
open decks where no protection is afforded to the hose in heavy weather, or
where the hose may be liable to damage from the handling of cargo the hose
may be temporarily removed from the
hydrant and stowed in an accessible
nearby location.
(i) Fire hose shall not be used for any
other purpose than fire extinguishing
and fire drills.
(j) Each firehose on each hydrant
must have a combination solid stream
and water spray firehose nozzle that
meets the requirements in subpart
162.027 of this chapter. Firehose nozzles
previously approved under subpart
162.027 of this chapter may be retained
so long as they are maintained in good
condition to the satisfaction of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.
(k) Firehose nozzles previously approved under subpart 162.027 of this
chapter must have low-velocity water
spray applicators also previously approved under subpart 162.027 of this
chapter as follows—
(1) In accommodation and service
areas—two firehoses; and
(2) In each propulsion machinery
space containing an oil-fired boiler, internal combustion machinery, or oil
fuel unit on a vessel on an international voyage or of 1000 gross tons or
more—each firehose. The length of
each applicator must be not more than
1.8 meters (6 feet).
(l) Fixed brackets, hooks, or other
means for stowing an applicator must

§ 76.15–5 Quantity, pipe sizes, and discharge rate.
(a) General. The amount of carbon dioxide required for each space shall be
as determined by the following paragraphs in this section.
(b) Total available supply. A separate
supply of carbon dioxide need not be
provided for each space protected. The
total available supply shall be at least
sufficient for the space requiring the
greatest amount.
(c) Cargo spaces. (1) The number of
pounds of carbon dioxide required for
each space in cubic feet shall be equal
to the gross volume of the space in
cubic feet divided by 30.
(2) Although separate piping shall be
led to each cargo hold and ’tween deck,
for the purpose of determining the
amount of carbon dioxide required, a
cargo compartment will be considered
as the space between adjacent watertight or firescreen bulkheads and from
the tank top or lowest deck to the deck
head of the uppermost space on which
cargo may be carried. If a trunk extends beyond such deck, the trunk volume shall be included. Tonnage openings shall be considered as sealed for
this purpose.
(3) Branch lines to the various cargo
holds and ’tween decks shall not be less
than 3⁄4 inch standard pipe size.
(4) No specific discharge rate need be
applied to such systems.
(d) Machinery spaces, paint lockers,
tanks, and similar spaces. (1) Except as
provided in paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the number of pounds of carbon
dioxide required for each space shall be
equal to the gross volume of the space
divided by the appropriate factor noted
in table 76.15–5(d)(1). If fuel can drain
from the compartment being protected
to an adjacent compartment, or if the
compartments are not entirely separate, the requirements for both compartments shall be used to determine
the amount of carbon dioxide to be provided. The carbon dioxide shall be arranged to discharge into both such
compartments simultaneously.

this subchapter.
(d) Systems of the type indicated in
§ 76.15–5(d) shall be actuated by one
control operating the valve to the
space and a separate control releasing
at least the required amount of carbon
dioxide. These two controls shall be located in a box or other enclosure clearly identified for the particular space.
Those systems installed without a stop
valve shall be operated by one control
releasing at least the required amount
of carbon dioxide.
(e) Where provisions are made for the
simultaneous release of a given amount
of carbon dioxide by operation of a remote control, provisions shall also be
made for manual control at the cylinders. Where gas pressure from pilot
cylinders is used as a means for releasing the remaining cylinders, not less
than two pilot cylinders shall be used
for systems consisting of more than
two cylinders. Each of the pilot cylinders shall be capable of manual control at the cylinder, but the remaining
cylinders need not be capable of individual manual control.
(f) Systems of the type indicated in
§ 76.15–5(d), other than systems for
tanks, which are of more than 300
pounds of carbon dioxide, shall be
fitted with an approved delayed discharge so arranged that the alarm will
be sounded for at least 20 seconds before the carbon dioxide is released into
the space. Such systems of not more
than 300 pounds of carbon dioxide shall
also have a similar delayed discharge,
except for those systems for tanks and
(5) Distribution piping within the

discharge outlets shall be such as to
give a uniform distribution throughout
the space.
(7) The total area of all discharge
outlets shall not exceed 85 percent nor
be less than 35 percent of the nominal
cylinder outlet area or the area of the
supply pipe, whichever is smaller. The
nominal cylinder outlet area in square
inches shall be determined by multiplying the factor 0.0022 by the number
of pounds of carbon dioxide required,
except that in no case shall this outlet
area be less than 0.110 square inch.
(8) The discharge of at least 85 percent of the required amount of carbon
dioxide shall be complete within 2 minutes.
(e) Spaces specially suitable for vehicles. (1) The number of pounds of carbon dioxide required shall be equal to
the gross volume of the largest ‘‘tight’’
space divided by 22. In no case, however, shall it be less than that required
by paragraph (c) of this section.
(2) The arrangement of valves and
piping shall be such that the required
quantity of carbon dioxide may be discharged into any ‘‘tight’’ space. The
discharge of the required quantity of
carbon dioxide shall be completed
within 2 minutes.
(3) Except as noted in paragraphs (e)
(1) and (2) of this section, the requirements of paragraph (e) of this section
shall apply.
