It reflects numerous comments received on both a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), and the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM). The Coast Guard believes that an IFR is necessary to address both the need to publish an enforceable rule, and allow the public an opportunity to comment on sections that have been substantially revised from the SNPRM. The changes in this IFR include: The creation of a separate subchapter K for small passenger vessels carrying more than 150 passengers or with overnight accommodations for more than 49 passengers; additional alternatives to certain required lifesaving equipment; greater recognition of existing industry standards; and the establishment of new upper limit breakpoints above which a vessel must comply with the construction and outfitting requirements applicable to a passenger vessel of more than 100 gross tons. These revisions update the existing regulations in Parts 175 through 187 to accommodate the advanced technology, larger size, and increased passenger carrying capacity of the small passenger vessels built today. 61 FR 864 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-1996-01-10/96-213 96-213 fr10ja96-13 4910-14-C CGD 85-080 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-1996-01-10/96-213 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-01-10/html/96-213.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-01-10/pdf/96-213.pdf 149 p. 864 1012 61 FR 864 Title 46 Part 46 CFR Part Title 46 Part 170 46 CFR Part 170 Title 46 Part 171 46 CFR Part 171 Title 46 Part 173 46 CFR Part 173 Small Passenger Vessel Inspection and Certification; Federal Register Vol. 61, Issue RULE 96-213 II DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Coast Guard 1996-03-11 1996-06-10 CGD 85-080 4910-14-C 96-213 Interim final rule with request for comments; notice of public meeting.

This Interim Final Rule (IFR) completely revises the regulations affecting small passenger vessels. It reflects numerous comments received on both a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), and the Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPRM). The Coast Guard believes that an IFR is necessary to address both the need to publish an enforceable rule, and allow the public an opportunity to comment on sections that have been substantially revised from the SNPRM. The changes in this IFR include: The creation of a separate subchapter K for small passenger vessels carrying more than 150 passengers or with overnight accommodations for more than 49 passengers; additional alternatives to certain required lifesaving equipment; greater recognition of existing industry standards; and the establishment of new upper limit breakpoints above which a vessel must comply with the construction and outfitting requirements applicable to a passenger vessel of more than 100 gross tons. These revisions update the existing regulations in Parts 175 through 187 to accommodate the advanced technology, larger size, and increased passenger carrying capacity of the small passenger vessels built today.
