with the light, shape, and sound signal provisions of the Inland Rules 

without interfering with their special function may instead meet 

alternative requirements. The Chief of the Marine Safety Division in 

each Coast Guard District Office makes this determination and requires 

that alternative compliance be as close as possible with the Inland 

Rules. These regulations set out the procedure by which a vessel may be 

certified for alternative compliance. The information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements in Sec. Sec. 89.5 and 89.18 have been 

approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB control number 

2115-0074.
