Fire-Suppression Systems and Voyage

Planning for Towing Vessels

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

SUMMARY: In response to public

requests, the Coast Guard is extending

the comment period on its supplemental

notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM)

on Fire-Suppression Systems and

Voyage Planning for Towing Vessels.

Extending the comment period gives the

public and the Towing Safety Advisory

Committee (TSAC) more time to submit

comments and recommendations on the

issues raised in our SNPRM. These

proposed rules would improve the

safety of towing vessels by requiring the

installation of fixed fire-extinguishing

systems in their engine rooms, and by

requiring their owners or operators, and

their masters, to ensure that voyage

plans are complete before they

commence their trips with any barge in

tow.

DATES: Comments on the SNPRM must

reach the Coast Guard on or before May

8, 2001.

ADDRESSES: You may mail written

comments to the Docket Management
