Abstract:
U.S. collision regulation boundaries delineate those waters upon which mariners shall comply with the
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS) and those waters upon which
mariners shall comply with the Inland Navigation Rules. The waters inland of these lines are subject to the
Inland Navigation Rules Act of 1980. The waters outside these lines are subject to the International
Navigation Rules of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREGS). The
Coast Guard has the legal authority to effect regulatory changes to COLREGS. Records in this database are
derived from descriptions published in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 33, Part 80 and are for
planning purposes only.
Purpose:
To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the
Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act.

Description:
• Original source data and metadata acquired
• Heads up digitize, or coordinate input from original sources
• Cross reference between sources
• Dissolved unnecessary polyline splits and removed multiparts
• On MMS layers dissolved "BDRY_APRV_"
• On OC layers dissolved "APPRVDATE"
• Populated attribute contents
• Validated geometry

Description:
• Create a new map document RNC service http://egisws02.nos.noaa.gov/ArcGIS/services/NOAA_RNC
• Add original feature class and scan for features in CollisionRegulationsBoundary feature class which
were missing on RNC
• Search COLREGS in the CFR to confirm presence in original feature class
• Edit identified features, including descriptions and related fields in the attribute table
