What the agency says
The Coast Guard is amending certain Great Lakes Pilotage regulatory requirements to align with current Coast Guard and U.S. pilot association operations and pilotage practices. This final rule clarifies the different phases of training and types of registrations for Pilots who work on the Great Lakes, eliminates outdated practices and redundant requirements, and adds much needed structure regarding the billing dispute process.
