                        Notes on Table 62.35-50:

    1. The monitoring and controls listed in this table are applicable 
if the system listed is provided or required. References to ABS Table 
41.1 apply to the ``Operation,'' ``Display,'' ``Alarm,'' and ``Notes'' 1 
through 12, except the reference to ACCU in Note 11.
    2. Safety limit controls must be provided in navigating bridge 
primary propulsion control systems. See Sec. 62.35-5(c).
    3. Safety trip controls and alarms must be provided for all main 
boilers, regardless of mode of operation. See Sec. 62.35-20(a).
    4. Loss of forced lubrication safety trip controls must be provided, 
as applicable.
    5. Override of overspeed and loss of forced lubrication pressure 
safety trip controls must not be provided. See Sec. 62.35-5(e)(2).
    6. Transfer interlocks must be provided.
    7. Semiconductor controlled rectifiers must have current limit 
controls.
    8. Interlocks must be provided. See Sec. 62.25-5(a).
    9. See subparts 113.10, 161.002, and fire protection requirements of 
the applicable subchapters. The use of thermal detectors alone is 
subject to special consideration by the Commandant (G-MSE). Flame 
detectors may only be used in conjunction with smoke or heat detectors.
    10. See Sec. 62.50-20(b)(1).
    11. Alarms and controls must be failsafe. See Sec. 62.30-1.
    12. Vital auxiliary boilers only. Also see part 63.
