[Docket No. USCG–2015–0174] 

Commercial Fishing Vessel Engineers 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

the availability of an updated policy 

letter entitled ‘‘Engineer Officer 

Endorsements on Uninspected 

Commercial Fishing Industry Vessels.’’ 

The letter provides guidance to Coast 

Guard officers with respect to the 

upcoming enforcement of existing 

requirements for the proper 

credentialing of engineering officers. 

Some accident investigations have 

found that engineers were not properly 

credentialed to serve in their assigned 

positions. This notice promotes the 

Coast Guard’s maritime safety and 

stewardship missions. 

DATES: The Coast Guard’s enforcement 

of existing requirements for the proper 

credentialing of engineer officers on 

uninspected commercial fishing vessels 

begins October 15, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information about this document call or 

email Mr. Jack Kemerer, Coast Guard; 

telephone 202–372–1249, email 

Jack.A.Kemerer@uscg.mil. For 

information about viewing or submitting 

material to the docket, call Cheryl 

Collins, Program Manager, Docket 

Operations, telephone 202–366–9826, 

toll free 1–800–647–5527. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

Longstanding Coast Guard 

regulations 1 state that an ‘‘individual 

engaged or employed to perform the 

duties of chief engineer on a 

mechanically propelled, uninspected, 

seagoing, documented vessel of 200 

gross tons or over must hold an 

appropriately endorsed MMC [merchant 

mariner credential] authorizing service 

as a chief engineer,’’ and that, ‘‘An 

individual in charge of an engineering 

watch on a mechanically propelled, 

seagoing, documented vessel of 200 

GRT [gross regulatory tons] or more, 

other than an individual described in 

§ 15.820 of this subpart, must hold an 

appropriately endorsed license or MMC 

authorizing service as an assistant 

engineer.’’ In October 2011, we issued a 

policy letter 2 noting widespread noncompliance with these requirements 

among commercial fishing vessel 

engineers. Recognizing that the industry 

would require time to come into 

compliance, we set January 1, 2014, as 

the date we would begin strict 

enforcement of the regulations. In 

December 2013,3 upon learning that 

industry required still more time, we 

delayed that date one year to January 1, 

2015. We are again delaying the date, to 

October 15, 2015, but we are preparing 

to enforce compliance beginning on that 

October date. 

We understand that strict industrywide compliance may still not be 

practicable as of October 15, 2015. 

Therefore, where an owner/operator or 

company has established a training 

program designed to bring company 

operations into compliance with the 

prescribed regulations on engineer 

officer endorsements, the Officer in 

Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) may 

defer, for a specific vessel or fleet of 

vessels, on a case by case basis, strict 

enforcement of the provisions of the 

regulations beyond October 15, 2015. 

Persons seeking this consideration 

should submit a proposal to their 

cognizant OCMI as soon as possible but 

not later than October 15, 2015. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

document, CBP is soliciting comments 

concerning the following information 

collection: 

Title: Small Vessel Reporting System. 

OMB Number: 1651–0137. 

Abstract: The Small Vessel Reporting 

System (SVRS) is a pilot program that 

allows certain participants using small 

pleasure boats to report their arrival 

telephonically instead of having to 

appear in person for inspection by a 

CBP officer each time they enter the 

United States. In some cases, a 

participant may also be asked to report 

to CBP for an in person inspection upon 

arrival. Participants may be U.S. 

citizens, U.S. lawful permanent 

residents, Canadian citizens, and 

permanent residents of Canada who are 

nationals of Visa Waiver Program 

countries listed in 8 CFR 217.2(a). In 

addition, participants of one or more 

Trusted Traveler programs and current 

Canadian Border Boater Landing Permit 

(CBP Form I–68) holders may 

participate in SVRS. 

In order to register for the SVRS pilot 

program, participants enter data via the 

SVRS Web site, which collects 

information such as biographical 

information and vessel information. 

Participants will go through the in 

person CBP inspection process during 

SVRS registration, and in some cases, 

upon arrival in the United States. 

For each voyage, SVRS participants 

will be required to submit a float plan 

about their voyage via the SVRS Web 

site in advance of arrival in the United 

States. The float plan includes vessel 

information, a listing of all persons on 

board, estimated dates and times of 

departure and return, and information 

on the locations to be visited on the trip. 

Participants in SVRS can create a float 

plan for an individual voyage or a 

template for a float plan that can be 

used multiple times. 

SVRS is authorized by 8 U.S.C. 1225, 

8 CFR 235.1, 19 U.S.C. 1433, and 19 

CFR 4.2. The SVRS Web site is 

accessible at: https://svrs.cbp.dhs.gov/. 

Current Actions: CBP proposes to 

extend the expiration date of this 

information collection with a change to 

the burden hours resulting from 

updated estimates of the number of 

respondents. There is no change to the 

information being collected. 

Type of Review: Extension (with 

change).
