PURPOSE This Manual is the new Coast Guard Addendum (CGADD) to the United States National Search and Rescue Supplement (NSS), which is a supplement to the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual (IAMSAR). This Addendum establishes policy, guidelines, procedures and general information for Coast Guard use in search and rescue (SAR) operations. ### 2. ACTION All Coast Guard unit commanders, commanding officers, officers-in-charge, deputy/assistant commandants, and chiefs of headquarters staff elements shall comply with the provisions of this Manual. Internet release is authorized. ### 3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED The U.S. Coast Guard Addendum to the United States Search and Rescue Supplement (NSS) to the International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual, COMDTINST M16130.2E is cancelled. ### 4. DISCUSSION * The CGADD is a Coast Guard publication complementing the NSS and IAMSAR for Coast Guard SAR operations. * The CGADD, NSS and IAMSAR are reference documents for SAR, which are published and revised to incorporate the latest techniques and recommendations for SAR. * This new Addendum includes procedures and information that may be useful to rescue agencies outside of the Coast Guard. As procedures presently incorporated in the CGADD are approved for joint use, they will be published in the NSS. As procedures are approved for international use, they will likewise be published in the IAMSAR. Although the CGADD is a Coast Guard policy publication, commands may share the information with other rescue organizations. In the event of apparent conflict between the provisions of this Addendum and other Coast Guard directives, the latest provision shall be applied and Commandant (CG-SAR-1) shall be notified of the apparent conflict. * The policies and procedures in this Manual apply to Coast Guard facilities within the U.S., territories, and possessions, and to Coast Guard SAR operations worldwide. This directive promulgates internal Coast Guard planning guidance solely intended to promote efficiency and consistency in public service above and beyond the requirements of law and regulation. Any obligations discussed, flow only to the Coast Guard and Coast Guard personnel are expected to exercise broad discretion in performing the functions discussed. The Coast Guard retains the discretion to deviate from or change this guidance without notice. This document creates no duties, standard of care, or obligations to the public and should not be relied upon as a representation by the Coast Guard as to the manner of proper performance in any particular case. ### 5. POLICY * Procedures, techniques, and terminology in this Addendum are adopted for use by the Coast Guard for SAR operations. Procedures, techniques, and terminology promulgated by the NSS and IAMSAR also apply to the Coast Guard. Where Coast Guard policies or procedures differ from NSS and IAMSAR manual, discussion and guidance will be provided within the Addendum. * The provisions of this Addendum are intended as a guide for consistent and uniform execution of the Coast Guard SAR program. This Addendum does not cover occurrences best handled through experience and sound judgment. The CGADD is not intended to place undue restrictions on use of sound judgment. ### 6. MAJOR CHANGES Major changes to this Manual are listed in Appendix O of this Addendum. ### 7. REQUESTS FOR CHANGES Units and individuals may submit recommended changes in writing via the chain of command to: Commandant (CG-SAR); U. S. Coast Guard; 2100 2ND ST SW STOP 7363; WASHINGTON, DC 20593-7363 ### 8. DISCLAIMER This guidance is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements, nor is it itself a rule. It is intended to provide operational guidance for Coast Guard personnel and is not intended to nor does it impose legally-binding requirements on any party outside the Coast Guard. ### 9. RECORDS MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS This Manual has been evaluated for potential records management impacts. The development of this Manual has been thoroughly reviewed during the directives clearance process, and it has been determined there are no further records scheduling requirements, in accordance with Federal Records Act, 44 U.S.C. 3101 et seq., National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) requirements, and the Information and Life Cycle Management Manual, COMDTINST M5212.12 (series). This policy does not have any significant or substantial change to existing records management requirements. ### 10. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT AND IMPACT CONSIDERATIONS * The development of this Manual and the general policies contained within it have been thoroughly reviewed by the originating office in conjunction with the Office of Environmental Management, and are categorically excluded (CE) under current USCG CE # 33 from further environmental analysis, in accordance with Section 2.B.2. and Figure 2-1 of the National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures and Policy for Considering Environmental Impacts, COMDTINST M16475.1 (series). Because this Manual contains guidance on, and provisions for, compliance with applicable environmental mandates, Coast Guard categorical exclusion #33 is appropriate. * This directive will not have any of the following: significant cumulative impacts on the human environment; substantial controversy or substantial change to existing environmental conditions; or inconsistencies with any Federal, State, or local laws or administrative determinations relating to the environment. All future specific actions resulting from the general policies in this Manual must be individually evaluated for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), DHS and Coast Guard NEPA policy, and compliance with all other environmental mandates. Due to the administrative and procedural nature of this Manual, and the environmental guidance provided within it for compliance with all applicable environmental laws prior to promulgating any directive, all applicable environmental considerations are addressed appropriately in this Manual. ### 11.
