TABLE 2SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO 46 CFR 11.201 AND PROPOSED IMPACTS
Section
Proposed changes in regulatory text
Description of change
Impact
11.201h1
Applicants for an original officer endorsement in the following categories must present a certificate of completion from a firefighting course of instruction relevant to the endorsement being sought that has been approved by the Coast Guard. The firefighting course must have been completed within the past 5
years, or if it was completed more than 5 years before the date of application, the applicant must provide evidence of maintaining the standard of competence in accordance with the firefighting requirements for the credential sought.
All national officer endorsements as master or mate on seagoing vessels of 200
GRT or more.
All officer endorsements as master on vessels of less than 500 GT in ocean service.
All officer endorsements for master or mate pilot of towing vessels for service on near-coastal waters, except apprentice mate steersman of towing vessels.
This editorial change would make it clear that the required firefighting training should be based on the operating route of the endorsement sought.
This editorial change would not have any substantive impact and therefore would not impose any costs or cost savings.
This editorial change would make the text easier to read and makes it consistent with other lines in this section.

This editorial change would make it clear that applicants for master or mate pilot of towing vessel endorsements on nearcoastal waters must take a basic firefighting course.
This editorial change would make it clear that applicants for master or mate pilot of towing vessel endorsements on Great Lakes must take a basic firefighting course.
This editorial change would make it clear that applicants for master or mate pilot of towing vessel endorsements on inland waters or Western Rivers routes must take a basic firefighting course.
These changes would permit master or mate pilot applicants operating exclusively on inland waters or Western Rivers routes, other than the Great Lakes, to take a modified basic inland waters and Western Rivers towing vessel firefighting course as opposed to basic firefighting course when they apply for endorsements on inland waters or Western Rivers.
This editorial change would not have any substantive impact and therefore would not impose any costs or cost savings.
This editorial change would not have any substantive impact and therefore would not impose any costs or cost savings.
This editorial change would not have any substantive impact because these applicants were already required to take a basic firefighting course.

iv All officer endorsements as master or mate pilot of towing vessels for service on inland waters or Western Rivers, except apprentice mate steersman of towing vessels.
A The Coast Guard will accept a Coast Guard approved modified basic firefighting course, which is the basic firefighting training described in paragraph h3 of this section modified to only cover the equipment, fire prevention procedures, and firefighting operations required on towing vessels on inland waters or Western Rivers routes required in 46 CFR parts 140 and 142. A
mariner who completes this modified course will be issued an endorsement that is restricted to inland waters or Western Rivers.

This would lead to costs and costs savings. Costs result from course providers developing a modified firefighting course and submitting the course to the Coast Guard for approval, which would cost an estimated $8,444 to the industry and an estimated $15,988 to the government for review and approval of the course in the first year. Course providers would need to seek a renewal of their course approval in year 6, resulting in $1,044 in costs to course providers and $14,029 in costs to the Coast Guard. Estimated cost savings would come from applicants for towing vessel master or mate pilot endorsements spending fewer hours in training and less money on tuition, resulting in an estimated $123,598
in annual cost savings discounted at 7%
in 2020 dollars.
