Fire Protection Regulations (CGD 83-026)

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of termination.

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

SUMMARY: This rulemaking project was initiated to align Coast Guard 
regulations with the requirements of the International Convention for 
Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974, as amended. It has been overtaken 
by the Coast Guard's broader Maritime Regulatory Reform (MRR) effort. 
Therefore, the Coast Guard is terminating further rulemaking under 
docket number 83-026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mr. Albert Kirchner, Marine Technical and Hazardous Materials Division, 
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, (202) 267-0168.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 1, 1984 (49 FR 38672), the Coast 
Guard published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM). In 
that ANPRM, the Coast Guard announced that it was considering revisions 
to the fire protection regulations in 46 CFR subchapters D, H, and I. 
In part, the amendment under consideration were intended to conform the 
regulations with the requirements of the International Convention for 
Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974, as amended.
    Recently, under its Maritime Regulatory Reform (MRR) effort, the 
Coast Guard has undertaken a broad review of its existing regulations 
and applicable international standards. Part of this effort will 
involve a review of domestic and international fire protection 
provisions. Existing fire protection regulations will be amended, as 
necessary, through one or more future rulemaking projects. Therefore, 
this rulemaking is no longer necessary, and the Coast Guard is 
terminating further rulemaking under docket number 83-026.

    Dated: October 4, 1994.
Joseph J. Angelo,
Acting Chief, Office of Marine Safety Security and Environmental 
Protection.
