   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 199--LIFESAVING SYSTEMS FOR CERTAIN INSPECTED VESSELS--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart C--Additional Requirements for Passenger Vessels
 
Sec. 199.212  Lifejackets.

    (a) In addition to the lifejackets required under Sec. 199.70(b), 
each passenger vessel must carry lifejackets for at least 5 percent of 
the total number of persons on board. These lifejackets must be stowed 
in conspicuous places on deck or at muster stations.
    (b) Where lifejackets for persons other than the crew are stowed in 
staterooms located remotely from direct routes between public spaces and 
muster stations, any additional lifejackets required by 
Sec. 199.70(b)(2)(v) for these persons must be stowed in the public 
spaces, near muster stations, or on direct routes between them. These 
lifejackets must be stowed so that their distribution and donning does 
not impede orderly movement to muster stations and survival craft 
embarkation stations.
