| 摘要： | In June 2019, the Coast Guard published a final rule that eliminated the requirement for marine radar refresher training. This issue had been discussed on the inland rivers for a long time. It represents a big step forward, eliminating an obsolete and unnecessary requirement for experienced mariners. The final rule also harmonizes the radar observer endorsement with the merchant marine credential. In its comments, the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) agreed with the Coast Guard that refresher training is not needed when a mariner has practical on-the-water experience using radar on a regular basis. PVA also agreed with the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee's (MER-PAC) position that this regulatory change would not negatively affect safety. Over the years, the PVA and many others in the maritime industry have pointed to the negative effects of regulation on small business. I was pleased to learn that the Coast Guard's analysis of this regulation estimated that the annualized total cost savings will be about $6.8 million, and over 7,000 mariners will benefit from this rule each year. |
