⚓Amendments to Coast Guard Mariner Credentialing Regulations

Electronic Submission of Mariner Course Completion Data; Corrections

Summary

This final rule amends the Coast Guard's mariner credentialing regulations by correcting inadvertent errors made within the November 2024 final rule. Within the 2024 final rule, the Coast Guard unintentionally deleted two existing paragraphs from the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) and accidently reverted language in other existing paragraphs to previous versions. This correcting amendment reverts the language and adds those paragraphs back into the CFR as they appeared before the accidental deletion, and as edited by subsequent regulatory changes. These corrections do not create, remove, or modify any obligation under these regulations.
