Summary

The Coast Guard is proposing to exempt vessels under 20 meters (65 feet) in length operating in the St. Mary's River along Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula from certain speed rules. Exempting such vessels from these rules is necessary because enforcement is impractical and the rules impede the operations of public response vessels. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.
