The publisher's summary

The Coast Guard is amending its merchant mariner training regulations to implement amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, and the Seafarers' Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code, to require personnel serving on U.S.-flagged passenger ships carrying more than 12 passengers on international voyages to complete passenger ship emergency familiarization. This final rule also expands the applicability of the required crowd management training to include specified ratings on passenger ships. These required trainings would promote the safety of life at sea.
