Marine Board Seeks Public Comments on Proposed Rulemaking

The Oregon State Marine Board seeks written public comment on proposed rulemaking for two Divisions of boating rules that require updating. The agency is proposing to amend the Personal Watercraft rules to remove the words "maximum 5 mph" for consistency with recent changes to other small watercraft rules and to improve the readability of the rules. The proposed changes will not change the scope or the intent of the rules.
            The agency is also proposing to adopt, amend, re-number and repeal rules in Divisions 11, 12 and 13. This proposed action will bring Oregon rules into conformance with the US Coast Guard Inland Navigation Rules and will consolidate Rules of Right-of-Way, Lights and Shapes, Sounds and Light Signals into one rule Division.
            Written comments may be submitted by June 22, 2015 by 5 pm and can be submitted via email to osmb.rulemaking at state.or.us<mailto:osmb.rulemaking at state.or.us>  or by U.S. mail to: June LeTarte, Administrative Rules Coordinator, 435 Commercial Street NE, Suite 400, P.O. Box 14145, Salem, OR 97309-5056.  Comments via telephone will not be accepted.
