Streamlined (Vessel) Inspection Program (NVIC 02–99)—Request for Information

The Coast Guard seeks input from the public on improving its Streamlined Inspection Program (SIP), which is explained in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 02–99. We seek information, ideas, and recommendations to ensure SIP implementation aligns with national security, economic prosperity, and workforce development objectives set forth in the Presidential Executive Order on Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance. Finally, public input will aid in developing and improving the SIP as a tool for strengthening the domestic maritime industrial base, enhancing regulatory efficiency, and supporting the competitiveness of U.S.-flagged and U.S. built vessels.
