    Barges with sleeping accommodations for more than six persons and 
all sef-propelled vessels shall have permanently exhibited for the 
guidance of the officer in charge of the vessel the following plans:
    (a) General arrangement plans showing for each deck the fire control 
stations, the various sections enclosed by fire-resisting bulkheads, 
together with particulars of the fire alarms, detecting systems, the 
sprinkle installation (if any), the fire extinguishing appliances, means 
of access to different compartments, decks, etc., and the ventilating 
systems including particulars of the maste fan controls, the positions 
of dampers, the location of the remote means of stopping fans, and 
identification numbers of the ventilating fans serving each section. If 
cargo compartments are ``specially suited for vehicles,'' they shall be 
so indicated on the plan. Alternatively, at the discretion of the 
Commandant, the aforementioned details may be set out in any other 
medium, such as a booklet or on computer software, provided that the 
aforementioned details are available to each officer and a copy is 
retained on board at all times and is accessible during emergencies. For 
vessels constructed on or after September 30, 1997 or for existing 
vessels which have their plans redrawn, the symbols used to identify the 
aforementioned details shall be in accordance with IMO Assembly 
resolution A.654(16). These identical symbols can also be found in ASTM 
Adjunct F 1626 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 35.01-3).
    (b) Plans showing clearly for each deck the boundaries of the 
watertight compartments, the openings therein with the means of closure 
and position of any controls thereof, and the arrangements for the 
correction of any list due to flooding.
    (c) The information contained in the plans shall be kept up-to-date, 
and any changes shall be recorded as soon as possible.
