Coast Guard: Enhanced Safety Oversight Needed for Fish Tender Vessels

GAO-24-106729
Feb 20, 2024
Show
3 Open Recommendations
Agency Affected Recommendation Status
United States Coast Guard The Deputy Commandant for Mission Support should assess the feasibility of updating the Coast Guard's system of record for commercial fishing industry vessels to capture multiple service types for commercial fishing industry vessels and, if feasible, implement the changes. (Recommendation 1)
Open
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) concurred with our recommendation. In January 2024, DHS officials stated that the U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) system, its system of record for commercial fishing industry vessels, is undergoing a multi-year modernization project and the service will assess the feasibility of implementing this recommendation as a part of this effort. In the interim, DHS officials stated the Coast Guard plans to add a note field to MISLE to capture multiple service types for these vessels. When we confirm what actions the service has taken in response to this recommendation since January 2024, we will provide updated information. By assessing the feasibility of updating its system of record to capture multiple vessel service types and implementing the changes if feasible, the Coast Guard will be better positioned to carry out its regulatory oversight of fish tender vessel compliance with load line requirements.
United States Coast Guard The Deputy Commandant for Operations should fully assess the safety risks posed to fish tender vessels without a load line that may participate in any proposed alternative compliance program. (Recommendation 2)
Open
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) concurred with our recommendation. In January 2024, DHS officials stated that the U.S. Coast Guard is planning to finalize an assessment of fish tender vessel noncompliance with load line requirements. After this step, these officials stated the Coast Guard will then evaluate risks to fish tender vessels without a load line. When we confirm what actions the service has taken in response to this recommendation since January 2024, we will provide updated information. By fully assessing the safety risks posed to fish tender vessels without a load line, the Coast Guard can help ensure that any proposed alternative compliance program maximizes vessel safety within existing resource limitations.
United States Coast Guard The Deputy Commandant for Operations should clearly identify the legal basis for any proposed alternative compliance program for fish tender vessels without a load line. (Recommendation 3)
Open

In January 2024, DHS officials stated that the U.S. Coast Guard is planning to finalize an assessment of fish tender vessel noncompliance with load line requirements. After this step, these officials stated the Coast Guard will then evaluate the service's legal authorities to develop an alternative compliance program. When we confirm what actions the service has taken in response to this recommendation since January 2024, we will provide updated information. By clearly identifying a legal basis for the program, the Coast Guard can ensure that any proposed program is consistent with its legal authorities regarding exemptions from load line requirements.
