COAST GUARD LIGHT LISTS - CHANGE IN DISTRIBUTION METHOD Coast Guard Light Lists are a means for communicating aids to navigation information to the maritime public. Effective immediately, the Coast Guard will no longer print hardcopy Light Lists. The last government printed Light Lists were the 2014 editions. Based on emerging technology and the ability to update Light Lists on a weekly basis, the cost and time for printing the Light List on an annual basis has reached obsolescence. Technology now allows us to provide the Light List in a timelier and less costly manner via the Internet. A Federal Register Notice announcing this change was issued on 1 April 2015. The notice can be viewed at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR- 2015-04-01/pdf/2015-07501.pdf. Electronic Light Lists are available on the Coast Guard Navigation Center’s (NAVCEN) website at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lightLists. Complete versions of the Light Lists are updated weekly on the NAVCEN website at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lightListWeeklyUpdates. Mariners should download applicable copies and updates as needed. Electronic nautical publications are authorized for use on commercial vessels. While the Light Lists will no longer be available in government printed form, commercial reproductions may be available in the future. Local Notices to Mariners will continue to advertise Light List corrections and NAVCEN will continue to publish a compilation of corrections.
