Navigation safety regulations help assure that the mariner piloting a towing vessel has adequate equipment, charts, maps, and other publications. For inspected towing vessels, a muster list and emergency instructions provide effective plans and references for crew to follow in an emergency situation.
US Code:
33 USC 1223
Name of Law: The Ports and Waterways Safety Act
The change in burden is an ADJUSTMENT doe to a change (i.e., increase) in the towing vessel population. The change in population is an approximately 13% increase. Additionally, in the previously approved collection, the data was broken down into two separate categories. For this renewal, the data is further broken down into sub-categories of Part 1 and Part 2 to provide a truer picture of the burden hours.
