(A deficiency is defined as charted information that can be made more complete through field examination, or information which should be charted but is not.) 2. Evaluate the adequacy/accuracy of hydrographic information on existing charts. 3. Verify or revise information published in the appropriate Coast Pilot. 4. Conduct user evaluation and public relations efforts to provide an awareness of products and obtain user input.
