There are two entirely separate issues and proposed regulations here.
One is inspection requirements and the other is licensing.

The first won't have much effect on the boating industry although it will
be a pain for international cruisers.

The second will have a huge impact.


Does anybody have any idea what kind of licensing requirements are
planned? I have "googled" the subject in different ways and all I can find
is the statement made by Chertoff some months ago. Amazing that there is
evidently no leak on this plan....



Your googling now has the interest of the DHS. Have you looked out the
window recently?
