Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before August 18, 2020.

You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-2019-0279 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the “Public Participation and Request for Comments” portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further instructions on submitting comments.
