Revise and consolidate existing standing orders and instructions into a Beacon Hill Operations Manual. Instructions should include the role of the signal station in monitoring and enforcing the traffic management system, which should include a closed-loop style of communication.

Yes. A consolidated and revised Beacon Hill Operations Manual has already been prepared, and subject to the contents of the Commission's Final Report, and evaluation of other official reports into this incident, will be promulgated at an early date. In addition, to supplement the marine V.H.F. voice-recording system already in use, a new upgraded radar which will also record and store radar data is proposed to be installed by December 1997.
