Posting Requirements on Inspected Vessels (CGD 87-031)

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of termination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to reduce requirements 
for posting of nonessential operational data imposed by Coast Guard 
regulations under various laws and international agreements. As a 
result of comments received on an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 
(ANPRM), the Coast Guard initiated and completed a separate rulemaking 
under docket number CGD 87-031a. Additionally, posting requirements 
have been addressed in a number of other Coast Guard rulemaking 
projects. Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking 
under docket number 87-031.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Allen W. Penn, Merchant Vessel Inspection and Documentation 
Division, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, (202) 267-1181.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 24, 1987 [52 FR 31786], the Coast 
Guard published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) 
entitled Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980. In that ANPRM, the Coast 
Guard solicited comments from vessel owners and operators concerning 
unnecessary requirements for posting of information on vessels. As a 
result of the comments received, the Coast Guard initiated a separate 
rulemaking under docket number 87-031a (RIN 2115-AC91) to remove the 
requirements in 46 CFR Parts 35, 78, 97, 108, 167, and 196 that 
merchant vessels post a copy of Form CG-811, Lifesaving Signals and 
Breeches Buoy Instructions. The final rule was published for that 
project on July 22, 1988 [53 FR 27686]. Additionally, posting 
requirements have been addressed in a number of separate rulemakings 
involving oil pollution, vessel inspection, and other areas. Therefore, 
this rulemaking is no longer necessary, and the Coast Guard is 
terminating further rulemaking under docket number 87-031.
