I. SPECIAL NOTICE

USA - LIFESAVING EQUIPMENT - Interim rule with request for comments -

As part of the President\'s Regulatory Review Initiative to remove or
revise unnecessary government regulations, this interim rule removes
numerous obsolete sections from the Code of Federal Regulations and
eliminates duplication of other provisions by consolidating the
lifesaving requirements for most U.S. inspected vessels into the new
subchapter W. This rule revises the lifesaving equipment regulations for
U.S. inspected vessels. It implements the provisions of Chapter III of
the Safety of Live at Sea Convention 1974, as amended, and revises
lifesaving regulations for Great Lakes vessels and certain vessels in
domestic trade which are not covered by the Safety of Life at Sea
Convention. The rule also replaces many prescriptive regulations with
performance-based alternatives. The Coast Guard is requesting public
comments on this interim rule because it has been more than 5 years
since publication of the notice of proposed rulemaking.

EFFECTIVE DATES: This interim rule is effective of 01 October 1996.
Comments on this interim rule must be received on or before 31 July
1996. The Director of the Federal Register approves the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the regulations as of 01
October 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to the Executive Secretary, Marine
Safety Council (G-LRA/3406) (CGD 84-069), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters,
2100 Second Street SW, Washington, DC 20593-0001, or may be delivered to
room 3406 at the same address between 0800 local and 1500 local, Monday
through Friday, except federal holidays. The telephone number is
(202)267-1477. Comments on collection-of-information requirements must
be mailed also to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC
20503, ATTN: Desk Officer, U.S. Coast Guard.

The Executive Secretary maintains the public docket for this rulemaking.
Comments will become part of this docket and will be available for
inspection or copying at room 3406, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100
Second Street SW, Washington, DC 20593-0001, or may be delivered to room
3406 at the same address between 0800 local and 1500 local, Monday
through Friday, except federal holidays.

OREGON - WASHINGTON - FORT STEVENS DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING
SYSTEM (DGPS)- Scheduled Off Air for Maintenance -

The Fort Stevens DGPS is scheduled to be off air from 1000 local through
1200 local 18 June 1996. Users in the Puget Sound area can use DGPS
sites at Whidbey Island on frequency 302 khz, 200 bps and at Robinson
Point on frequency 323 khz, 200 bps. Washington coast to Grays Harbor
users can use Whidbey Island on frequency 302 khz, 200 bps. Oregon coast

alternative navigational methods.

USA - U.S. COAST GUARD AUXILIARY - Pyrotechnics Training -

The Coast Guard has recently changed its policy concerning Coast Guard
Auxiliary use of expired and unexpended pyrotechnics for training:
Auxiliarists may use for training, expired U.S. Coast Guard approved
flares and pyrotechnics. These pyrotechnics are authorized for training
use only during the five (5) year period following their expiration
date. It is important to note that the Coast Guard Auxiliary has never
been required to accept expired and unexpended pyrotechnics. However, as
a service to the mariner and for their training use, Auxiliary Flotillas
may again collect the flares on a case by case basis. In the event that
the mariner is unable to locate a Coast Guard Auxiliarist willing to
collect expired marine flares for their training use, the Coast Guard
suggests contacting your local police, state patrol, sheriff or fire
departments for assistance in the disposal of pyrotechnics on which the
expiration date has passed.

WASHINGTON - PUGET SOUND - Geoduck Harvesting -

Geoduck harvesting will commence 01 May 1996 from the entrance of Port

Bridge. This operation will take place daily from 0900 local till 1600
local Monday thru Friday, excluding state holidays. This operation
terminates on 31 July 1996. A Department of Natural Resources patrol
boat will be on site daily. If you have any questions or concerns, the
crew can be reached on VHF-FM 8. The five harvest vessels will be flying
a code ALPHA and the red and white sport dive flag. Vessels transiting
the area are requested to stay at least 300 feet clear of the vessels
for the diver\'s safety.
