SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

International Maritime Organization 

(IMO) establishes the minimum 

international standards of competence 

including training requirements for 

mariners and maritime personnel 

through the International Convention on 

Standards of Training, Certification and 

Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as 

amended (STCW Convention) and the 

Seafarers’ Training, Certification and 

Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code). 

In 2016, the IMO adopted 

amendments to the STCW Convention 

and the STCW Code expanding the 

existing training requirements for 

personnel on passenger vessels. These 

amendments entered into force on July 

1, 2018. These amendments have not 

been codified into national regulations 

at this time. However, because the 

United States is signatory to the STCW 

Convention, vessel owners and 

operators should be aware that their 

vessels are subject to foreign port state 

control actions, including detention, if 

mariners are not compliant with the 

STCW Convention and the STCW Code. 

The Coast Guard has issued CG–MMC 

Policy Letter 02–21 to provide guidance 

to passenger vessel owners and 

operators on voluntary compliance with 

the 2016 amendments to the STCW 

Convention and the STCW Code. The 

Coast Guard will not issue 

endorsements related to the training of 

personnel on passenger vessels. 

CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21 is not a 

substitute for applicable legal 

requirements, nor is it itself a rule. The 

Coast Guard does not currently require 

any mariner to meet the training 

requirements in CG–MMC Policy Letter 

02–21, paragraphs 4. a. (i) and (ii), in 

other words, it is possible to comply 

with U.S. domestic legal obligations 

without undertaking the specific 

trainings. Before creating any such 

requirement, the Coast Guard would 

undertake a separate rulemaking. 

We issue this notice of availability in 

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 

under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 7101 

and 7313. If you have questions about 

the policy letter, or believe that changes 

are necessary, please contact the person 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this notice.

Changes in Flood Hazard 

Determinations 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, Department of 

Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities 

where the addition or modification of 

Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood 

depths, Special Flood Hazard Area 

(SFHA) boundaries or zone 

designations, or the regulatory floodway 

(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard 

determinations), as shown on the Flood 

Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and 

where applicable, in the supporting 

Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports, 

prepared by the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) for each 

community, is appropriate because of 

new scientific or technical data. The 

FIRM, and where applicable, portions of 

the FIS report, have been revised to 

reflect these flood hazard 

determinations through issuance of a 

Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in 

accordance with Federal Regulations. 

The LOMR will be used by insurance 

agents and others to calculate 

appropriate flood insurance premium 

rates for new buildings and the contents 

of those buildings. For rating purposes, 

the currently effective community 

number is shown in the table below and 

must be used for all new policies and 

renewals. 

DATES: These flood hazard 

determinations will be finalized on the 

dates listed in the table below and 

revise the FIRM panels and FIS report 

in effect prior to this determination for 

the listed communities. 

From the date of the second 

publication of notification of these 

changes in a newspaper of local 

circulation, any person has 90 days in 

which to request through the 

community that the Deputy Associate 

Administrator for Insurance and 

Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
