To provide comments for the public record, follow the Federal Register link for each individual notice. Please note, the Coast Guard cannot respond to comments on these notices outside of the Federal Register.

A working group of the Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee will meet to discuss utilizing military education, training and assessment to satisfy national and STCW 1 credential requirements. These meetings will be open to the public.

The meetings will be held in Fort Eustis, Virginia and are scheduled on April 27 to April 29, 2016.
