Safety of Uninspected Passenger Vessels Under the Passenger
Vessel Safety Act of 1993 (PVSA)
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; announcement of enforcement date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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.
DATES: 46 CFR 26.03-8 as published May 15, 2002 (67 FR 34756), is
