Except for auxiliarists, the district fishing vessel

consideration shall be given to the prospective
examiner's or boarding officer's experience, knowledge,
and maturity.

After prerequisite requirements and follow-on training
provided by the district fishing vessel safety
coordinator is completed, a certification letter
attesting to this completion is issued by the

the concurrence of the district fishing vessel safety
coordinator and receiving unit's commanding officer.

The Instructors Guide provided as enclosure (2), for
utilization by district fishing vessel safety
coordinators, will ensure consistent and adequate levels
of training nationwide. This enclosure is a basic model

environmental factors. These standards for training and
qualification will ensure that individuals:
(1)
Possess a knowledge of all preexisting federal
regulations that apply to commercial fishing
industry vessels and have the ability to cite

examining or boarding, as well as local concerns
(including operations and environmental conditions).

available job aids and complete all appropriate
forms (i.e., the CG-4100F Commercial Fishing
