Printed copies may be purchased throughone <strong>of</strong> the NOAA publishing agent partners listed on the NOAA U.S. Chart No. 1 webpage.This new edition updates the descriptions and depictions <strong>of</strong> the basic nautical chart elements and symbols used on NOAA and NGA nauticalcharts. The document also shows the symbols described in the chart specifications <strong>of</strong> the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Forthe first time, it also includes the corresponding symbols used to portray Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) data on Electronic Chart Displayand Information Systems (ECDIS) as specified by the IHO.406 MHz DISTRESS BEACON BATTERIESCospas-Sarat type approval is conducted with manufacturer installed battery packs in 406 MHz distress beacons. Therefore, the U.S. SARSATprogram recommends that 406 MHz distress beacon owners always use manufacturers approved battery packs which have been tested as apart <strong>of</strong> the original Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz distress beacon owners should consult their beacon approval and known to meet operationalrequirements. 406 MHz distress beacon owners should consult their beacon manufacturer or one <strong>of</strong> their approved service centers to obtainproper battery replacements. Certain aftermarket replacement battery packs that are not approved by the beacon manufacturer have beenshown to be <strong>of</strong> inferior quality and may pose a saftey risk and/or failure <strong>of</strong> the beacon to function properly in a distress situation.2 MHz Distress Watchkeeping TerminationEffective August 1, 2013, the U.S. <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> will terminate its radio guard <strong>of</strong> the international voice distress, safety, and calling frequency2182 kHz and the international digital selective calling (DSC) distress and safety frequency 2187.5 kHz.

Route planning and monitoring alarms for these shoal depths may not always be activated. Toinsure safe navigation and to confirm that a planned route is clear <strong>of</strong> such dangers, mariners should visually inspect the planned route and anydeviations from it using ECDIS configured to display "ALL DATA". The automated voyage planning check function should not be solely relied upon.NOAA has updated the following ENC's to resolve this issue:US4HA51US5HA54US5HA55US5HA53PRIVATE AIDS TO NAVIGATIONThe term private aids to navigation (ATON) includes all marine aids to navigation operated in the navigable waters <strong>of</strong> the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong> other thanthose operated by the Federal Government. Private ATON includes lighted structures and day beacons, lighted and unlighted buoys, RACONs andfog signals. Almost half <strong>of</strong> the aids to navigation established in the Fourteenth District are operated and maintained by private interests. Theseinterests include private citizens, marina and yacht clubs, municipal and state governments, construction and dredging companies, research andnon-pr<strong>of</strong>it organizations, beachfront associations, and large industrial concerns.No person, public body or instrumentality not under the control <strong>of</strong> the Commandant, exclusive <strong>of</strong> the Armed Forces, shall establish and maintain,discontinue, change or transfer ownership <strong>of</strong> any aid to maritime navigation, without first obtaining permission to do so from the Commandant andthe Army Corps <strong>of</strong> Engineers.Owners contemplating establishing such buoys should review CFR 33 Part 66 and contact the appropriate authority, usually the Army Corps <strong>of</strong>Engineers, to determine what additional requirements may exist. Additionally, private aids on navigable waters regulated by the federalgovernment require either a <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> permit or <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> letter <strong>of</strong> no objection. The application for a letter <strong>of</strong> no objection or for a permit,form CG-2554, can be obtained by writing or faxing the Private ATON Manager at the address and phone number given below, or via the websiteat http://www.uscg.mil/d14/cmd/dpw/.The Private ATON Manager provides applicants assistance in processing their paperwork. Federal regulations governing aids to navigation, copies<strong>of</strong> permits previously issued to the applicant, illustrations <strong>of</strong> standard markings, and lists <strong>of</strong> commercial ATON manufacturers are available.Questions and requests should be directed to:Commander (dpw)Fourteenth <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> District300 Ala Moana Boulevard, 9-216Honolulu, HI 96850-4982Attn: Private ATON ManagerTel: (808) 535-3408Fax: (808) 535-3414U.S. Army Corps <strong>of</strong> EngineersHonolulu DistrictBuilding 230Ft.

The failure <strong>of</strong> a mariner toreport a discrepant aid to navigation may result in casualties to others. All aids to navigation in the Fourteenth District, both private and federallymaintained, are user monitored. When owners receive discrepancy reports from the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong>, they are obligated to take immediate action tocorrect the discrepancy. Owners are reminded <strong>of</strong> their responsibility for the proper operation and maintenance <strong>of</strong> their private aids to navigation.All classes <strong>of</strong> private aids to navigation shall be maintained in proper operating condition. They are subject to inspection by the <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> at anytime and without prior notice. The <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> issues broadcast notice to mariners for reported discrepancies that remain in effect until thediscrepancy is corrected or is published in the Local Notice to Mariners.Page 10 <strong>of</strong> 15<strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> District14LNM: 39/1324 September 2013


FISH AGGREGATING DEVICE (FAD) BUOY INFORMATION AND DISCREPANCIESThe State <strong>of</strong> Hawaii has placed Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) in the waters surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands. These buoys attract schools<strong>of</strong> tuna and other important pelagic fishes, such as dolphinfish (Mahimahi), wahoo (Ono), and billfish. FADs allow fishermen to easily locate andcatch these species. The buoys are anchored using approximately 2.5 miles <strong>of</strong> mooring line, which creates a very large swing circle. Mariners areadvised that these buoys may maneuver anywhere from three to five miles from their charted positions.Mariners requesting up to date information concerning Hawaiian Island's FAD Buoys, or reports <strong>of</strong> discrepancies, may either visit the Hawaii FADweb site at http://www.hawaii.edu/HIMB/FADS/, contact Mr. Warren Cortez at (808) 848-2939, or send written correspondence to:Mr. Warren CortezFish Aggregating Devices Program1 Sand Island RoadHonolulu, HI 96819Mariners requesting up to date information concerning Guam's FAD Buoys, or reports <strong>of</strong> discrepancies, may either visit the Guam FAD web site athttp://www.guamdawr.org/aquatics, contact Mr. Brent Tibbats at (671) 735-3987, or send written correspondence to:Mr. Brent TibbatsGuam <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> AgricultureDivision <strong>of</strong> Aquatics and Wildlife Resources163 Dairy RoadMangilao, Guam 96913NAVIGATION INTERNET SITESChart Corrections: http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/updates/index.htmLight List Corrections: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/index.php?pageName=lightLists<strong>Coast</strong> Pilot Corrections: http://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/nsd/cpdownload.htmNOAA Weather Buoy Sites: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/rmd.shtmlHawaii Weather: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/pr/hnl/Online Chart Viewer: http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/OnLineViewer.html(For NOAA Print-on-Demand (POD) charts only)NOAA, <strong>Coast</strong> Survey, in partnership with OceanGrafix, LLC, <strong>of</strong>fer mariners <strong>of</strong>ficial nautical charts continually updated by NOAA cartographers tothe latest Notice to Mariners and to all Critical Safety Information known to <strong>Coast</strong> Survey in advance <strong>of</strong> its publication in a Notice.
