The Review

    The review is being conducted to study the Coast Guard's management 
and methodology for the development of Great Lakes pilotage bridge hour 
standards and to produce a recommendation of the appropriate standards.

in foreign trade on the Great Lakes. The current bridge hour standards 
are published in the appendix, Ratemaking Analyses and Methodology, to 
46 CFR Part 404.
