First, a little bit of background… USCG Policy regarding white-water rafting: “ Officers in Charge of Marine Inspection (OCMIs) shall not conduct inspections off, or license personnel operating self-propelled or non-self-propelled white water rafts [i.e. commercial river running activities, motor rigs, float trip vessels] on the navigable waters of the United States.” But wait!. Isn’t the Coast Guard interested in making sure that safety standards are applied and adhered to on commercial river running vessels?

USCG partnering with NPS USCG – NPS Memorandum of Agreement: Establishes cooperative relationship between USCG and NPS to establish inspection standards & support for NPS personnel conducting inspections of motor rigs.  USCG Sector San Diego conducted similar training in 2006 and 2012 for NPS and in 2008 for Utah State Parks Parks  Developed safety standards for motor rigs  Published training guidelines for NPS & USP employees  Implemented an inspection regime for concessioned motor rig operators  Standards embraced by concessioned operators.
