\*\*\*\*\*SPECIAL NOTICE TO MARINERS\*\*\*\*\*

The following is a list of all Private Aids to Navigation (PATON) on the
Ohio River that are currently exhibiting non-flashing characteristics.
33 CFR Parts 60, 62, 66 and 100 require that all PATON conform to IALA
Region B requirements regarding light characteristics. All PATON on the
Right Descending Bank of a waterway must exhibit a flashing green light
that is on for 0.6 seconds and off for 5.4 seconds (Fl G 6s) and all
PATON on the Left Descending Bank must exhibit a flashing red light that
is on for 1.0 second, off for 1.0 second, on for 1.0 second, off for 3
seconds (Fl (2)R 6s). When a PATON owner notifies the Eighth Coast Guard
District that their PATON conforms to the requirements, those PATON will
be removed from this list.
