A New Focus for theSCF Program

Accuracy A new guideline for interviewing facility

owners/managers. A new worksheet that organizes your

interview and insures you collect all the necessary information.

Quality / Credibity On-scene confirmation by you, the observer. Business cards and brochures that document

the existence of the facility. Chartlets that identify location of the facility

on the local nautical chart. Professionalism

Computer generated reports enhance your credibility.

Presentation Objectives

To acquire a general knowledge of the new criteria for qualifying a Small Craft Facility for inclusion on a SC Chart.

To become familiar with the items in a SCF-Small Craft Facility that should be reported.

To learn how to prepare and forward accurate, complete, credible and professional SCF reports to NOAA.

The available Small Craft Facility training tools are:

Information from a new on-line “USCGAUX Small Craft Facility Study Guide.”

Visual self-instruction from this SCF PowerPoint presentation on-line.

On-line forms that you can use to prepare professional looking reports on your home PC.

Personal assistance to help you become a proficient SCF reporter in a short period of time.

Reminder of your Operational Role

All Auxiliary vessels while underway should be checking all Aids to Navigation and charts for every type of discrepancy on ATONs (Federal Aids), PATONs (Private Aids), Bridges, Nautical Charts and Small Craft Facilities.

Report discrepancies by the most expeditious means.

Follow up with a hard copy report within 24 hours, if required.

PLANNING IS CRITICAL TO

SUCCESS

Take the time to

pre-plan your Small Craft Reporting events.

Review a practical area of your chart at a time. Make it easy on yourself.

Prepare a list of the facilities that you plan to check in the order that you plan to check them.

Use the SCF Worksheet for recording the information while conducting the interview.

… … for SCF Reporting.for SCF Reporting.Check comparative data about the site in the Coast Pilot.

All definitions, specifications and narratives about an area must correspond.

Recheck your GPS on site against a charted object to insure it is reading accurately. Note this action in your CU report.

You must visit the site to validate that the data received corresponds to your observations.

Use your camera to further prove your point.

SCF reporting criteria . . .SCF reporting criteria . . .

When the Small Craft Facility does not meet the SCF criteria, submit your facility report as a Coast Pilot Update.

Pre-check whether the Facility is referenced in the Coast Pilot.

Review your nautical chart. If not charted, you may submit a chart update for the facility.

Check that the dock size is chartable.

SCF reporting criteria . . .SCF reporting criteria . . .

When the Small Craft Facility is listed but has been discontinued,or does not meet the criteria for a SCF, report it as a Small Craft Facility “Discontinue.” Explain the reason for the report.

The Coast Pilot will be sent a copy of this report and, if it is listed in the Coast Pilot, will remove it.

You don’t have to submit a separate Coast Pilot Update report.
