SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

this meeting is in compliance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, (Pub. 

L. 117–286, 5 U.S.C., ch. 10). The 

National Commercial Fishing Safety 

Advisory Committee is authorized by 

section 601 of the Frank LoBiondo Coast 

Guard Authorization Act of 2018, (Pub. 

L. 115–282, 132 Stat. 4190), and is 

codified in 46 U.S.C. 15102. The 

Committee operates under the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act and 46 U.S.C. 15109. 

The National Commercial Fishing Safety 

Advisory Committee provides advice 

and recommendations to the Secretary 

of Homeland Security through the 

Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard 

(USCG), on matters relating to the safe 

operation of vessels including the 

matters of: 

(A) navigation safety; 

(B) safety equipment and procedures; 

(C) marine insurance; 

(D) vessel design, construction, 

maintenance, and operation; and 

(E) personnel qualifications and 

training. 

Additionally, the Committee will 

review regulations proposed under 

chapter 45 of Title 46 of U.S. Code 

(during preparation of the regulations) 

and review marine casualties and 

investigations of vessels covered by 

chapter 45 of Title 46 U.S. Code and 

make recommendations to the Secretary 

of Homeland Security to improve safety 

and reduce vessel casualties.

VI. Meeting Recess 

Day 2 

VII. New Business 

a. Task Statement #04–23: Review the 

multi-year statistics (provided by the 

USCG) regarding commercial fishing 

vessels of less than 200 gross ton 

accidents or losses that resulted in 

fatalities, injuries, or property damage. 

Major marine casualties such as the loss 

of the DESTINATION, NO LIMITS, and 

other fishing vessels with multiple 

fatalities and vessel losses should be 

reviewed to provide the background 

information necessary to other 

supplementary taskings in best efforts to 

make informed recommendations to the 

USCG. 

b. Task Statement #05–23: Examine 

and make recommendations to the 

USCG on best practices to reduce and 

mitigate the negative consequences 

caused by the misalignment of state and 

federal regulations regarding drug laws 

legalizing the recreational and/or 

medical use for drugs also classed as 

dangerous drugs by federal law and 

applicable transportation related 

statutes. This is critical for the safety of 

operations and creating an environment 

for vessel personnel to work in a drugfree workplace, with special emphasis 

on critical safety sensitive jobs such as 

navigation and engineering duties to 

bring fishing vessels into alignment 

with other commercial vessels. Develop 

recommendations that include testing 

for pre-employment, routine, and 

reasonable cause. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

c. Task Statement #06–23: Examine 

and effectively disseminate 

recommendations for best practices to 

ensure full crew access to all parts of a 

vessel to allow for safe vessel operation. 

This task should address and examine 

things like a means to access all areas 

of the vessel and allow the crew to 

safely move fore and aft to remove ice, 

inspect the vessel, and operate critical 

equipment like the vessel’s anchors and 

similar gear that does not require the 

crew to climb over the pot stack (for 

example, in the case of a vessel carrying 

pots, nets or similar devices to create 

pathways for access). Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security.

provisions in 5 U.S.C. chapter 10, and section. 7 

repealed FACA ‘‘except with respect to rights and 

duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, 

or proceedings that were begun before the date of 

enactment of’’ Public Law 117–286. 

d. Task Statement #07–23: Establish 

best practices for standard procedures 

and guidance for crew standing 

navigation watches. This should include 

a detailed crew orientation for each 

unique vessel, including the operation 

of critical equipment and establish clear 

and easily understood watchstanding 

orders to protect the safety of the vessel 

during its applicable operations. This 

could be accomplished as a 

standardized form or checklist. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

e. Task Statement #08–23: Evaluate 

and provide a comprehensive list of 

recommendations to the USCG, in the 

form of best practices (NVICs, policies, 

training), or amended or new 

regulations, regarding stability 

considerations which may pose severe 

risk to the safety of a fishing vessel such 

as icing, loading, the need for stability 

instructions, and vessel modifications. 

As part of this task, review the USCG’s 

current level of oversight, provide 

recommendations on its adequacy, and 

specify needed changes to areas of the 

fishing safety program that need 

additional attention. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

f. Task Statement #09–23: Evaluate 

and provide recommendations to the 

USCG for best practices to address the 

high degree of risk associated with 

fishing vessel operations and how the 

acceptance of risk is prevalent and 

accepted in the fishing industry. 

Specifically, the Marine Board 

recommends the committee focus on 

topics including icing, heavy weather 

avoidance in voyage planning, and 

formalizing the navigation watch duties 

via onboard familiarization and written 

standard orders to ensure the safety of 

vessel during its transit and during 

fishing operations. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

g. Task Statement #10–23: Evaluate 

and provide recommendations to the 

USCG to ensure the most effective 

means to widely disseminate critical 

safety information for the commercial 

fishing industry. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

h. Task Statement #11–23: Review 

and provide recommendations on the 

development of a publicly accessible 

website that contains all information 

related to fishing industry activities, 

including vessel safety, inspections, 

enforcement, hazards, training, 

regulations (including proposed 

regulations), outages of the Rescue 21 

system in Alaska and similar outages, 

and any other fishing-related activities. 

Submit recommendations to the 

Secretary of Homeland Security. 

i. Task Statement #12–23: Discuss and 

make recommendations requiring watch 

alarms on specific types of commercial 

fishing vessels. Submit 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Homeland Security. 

j. Task Statement #13–23: Examine 

and make recommendations to the 

USCG on a way to widely distribute 

personal location beacons at minimal 

expense. Ensure availability and access 

for crewmembers of these critical 

lifesaving devices which could be 

acquired by consortiums, associations, 

or other organizations for distribution to 

vessel crews through federally funded 

grant programs or other programs. 

Submit recommendations to the 

Secretary of Homeland Security.
