501 CMR, § 16.09 - Harbormaster Training Program Sub-regulatory Policies and Procedures

(1) The agency operating a harbormaster training program has the authority to establish such sub-regulatory policies, procedures, and rules as are deemed necessary by the operating agency for the effective and efficient operation of the training program, provided they do not contravene 501 CMR 16.00 or any other policies, procedures, and rules established by the Council. The Council must approve, in writing, any such sub-regulatory policies, procedures, and rules prior to the start of a harbormaster training program.

(2) A harbormaster is subject to the policies, procedures, and rules of the employing or sponsoring authority, the Council, and the harbormaster training program in which the student harbormaster is enrolled. When determining the applicability of one set of policies, procedures, and rules versus another, the stricter standard shall always apply.

(3) Each student shall be provided with a copy of 501 CMR 16.00, applicable Council sub-regulatory policies, procedures, and rules as well as training program-specific sub-regulatory policies, procedures, and rules. A statement of compliance, signed by both the student and the harbormaster of the employing or sponsoring authority, must be submitted as part of the enrollment process.
