ACTION:

The Coast Guard announces
the availability of an updated policy
letter entitled ‘‘Engineer Officer
Endorsements on Uninspected
Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels.’’
The letter provides guidance to Coast
Guard officers with respect to the
upcoming enforcement of existing
requirements for the proper
credentialing of engineering officers.
Some accident investigations have
found that engineers were not properly
credentialed to serve in their assigned
positions. This notice promotes the
Coast Guard’s maritime safety and
stewardship missions.
DATES: The Coast Guard’s enforcement
of existing requirements for the proper
credentialing of engineer officers on
uninspected commercial fishing vessels
begins October 15, 2015.

SUMMARY:

Discussion
Longstanding Coast Guard
regulations 1 state that an ‘‘individual
engaged or employed to perform the
duties of chief engineer on a
mechanically propelled, uninspected,
seagoing, documented vessel of 200
gross tons or over must hold an
appropriately endorsed MMC [merchant
mariner credential] authorizing service
as a chief engineer,’’ and that, ‘‘An
individual in charge of an engineering
watch on a mechanically propelled,
seagoing, documented vessel of 200
GRT [gross regulatory tons] or more,
other than an individual described in
§ 15.820 of this subpart, must hold an
appropriately endorsed license or MMC
authorizing service as an assistant
engineer.’’ In October 2011, we issued a
policy letter 2 noting widespread non1 46

CFR 15.820(c) and 46 CFR 15.825(a).

compliance with these requirements
among commercial fishing vessel
engineers. Recognizing that the industry
would require time to come into
compliance, we set January 1, 2014, as
the date we would begin strict
enforcement of the regulations. In
December 2013,3 upon learning that
industry required still more time, we
delayed that date one year to January 1,
2015. We are again delaying the date, to
October 15, 2015, but we are preparing
to enforce compliance beginning on that
October date.
We understand that strict industrywide compliance may still not be
practicable as of October 15, 2015.
Therefore, where an owner/operator or
company has established a training
program designed to bring company
operations into compliance with the
prescribed regulations on engineer
officer endorsements, the Officer in
Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) may
defer, for a specific vessel or fleet of
vessels, on a case by case basis, strict
enforcement of the provisions of the
regulations beyond October 15, 2015.
Persons seeking this consideration
should submit a proposal to their
cognizant OCMI as soon as possible but
not later than October 15, 2015.
This notice is issued under authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

are submitted will be summarized and
included in the CBP request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. In this
document, CBP is soliciting comments
concerning the following information
collection:
Title: Small Vessel Reporting System.
OMB Number: 1651–0137.
Abstract: The Small Vessel Reporting
System (SVRS) is a pilot program that
allows certain participants using small
pleasure boats to report their arrival
telephonically instead of having to
appear in person for inspection by a
CBP officer each time they enter the
United States. In some cases, a
participant may also be asked to report
to CBP for an in person inspection upon
arrival. Participants may be U.S.
citizens, U.S. lawful permanent
residents, Canadian citizens, and
permanent residents of Canada who are
nationals of Visa Waiver Program
countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a). In
addition, participants of one or more
Trusted Traveler programs and current
Canadian Border Boater Landing Permit
(CBP Form I–68) holders may
participate in SVRS.
In order to register for the SVRS pilot
program, participants enter data via the
SVRS Web site, which collects
information such as biographical
information and vessel information.
Participants will go through the in
person CBP inspection process during
SVRS registration, and in some cases,
upon arrival in the United States.
For each voyage, SVRS participants
will be required to submit a float plan
about their voyage via the SVRS Web
site in advance of arrival in the United
States. The float plan includes vessel
information, a listing of all persons on
board, estimated dates and times of
departure and return, and information
on the locations to be visited on the trip.
Participants in SVRS can create a float
plan for an individual voyage or a
template for a float plan that can be
used multiple times.
SVRS is authorized by 8 U.S.C. 1225,
8 CFR 235.1, 19 U.S.C. 1433, and 19
CFR 4.2. The SVRS Web site is
accessible at: https://svrs.cbp.dhs.gov/.
Current Actions: CBP proposes to
extend the expiration date of this
information collection with a change to
the burden hours resulting from
updated estimates of the number of
respondents. There is no change to the
information being collected.
Type of Review: Extension (with
change).
Affected Public: Individuals.
