NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR REPORTS ON
SUBMITTING ATONs AS A NAUTICAL ITEM
There is a new requirement submitting ATON’s as a Nautical Item.
If it is a Federal aid and the report indicates that the Coast Guard [CG] was notified credit will be given, but the report will not go to the cartographers.
If not listed as having notified the CG the report will go to the cartographers but will receive less credit.
If the report is for a Private aid it must be listed in the light list. If an observer thinks that a private aid belongs in the light list they will need to contact the CG.
Any light that isn’t marked “Private” should be considered Federal, and treated as such.
The link to the USCG Light List is:

You should also look at “Nav Pubs and CG Links [upper left corner] for “Light list corrections” that’s a link to the summary of 2007 Light List Corrections from the Local Notice to Mariners.
