Abstract
The Commission has adopted a Report and Order to broaden, update, and clarify general exemptions from the radiotelegraph equipment requirements of the Communications Act for large cargo vessels, and from the radiotelegraph and radio communication requirements of the Communications Act and Safety Convention, respectively, for small passenger vessels. These amendments decrease regulatory burdens on operators of large cargo ships as well as small passenger vessels, while maintaining safety of life at sea.
