Digitized from Box 1 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
August 11, 1974
Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed H.R. 10309 which authorizes the Coast Guard to
adopt, through a regulatory process, boiler and pressure vessel safety
standards consistent with modern technology.
The present law was adopted in 1933. It provides that the maximum working
pressure for boilers and pressure vessels be based on a safety factor of
four. Since 1933 technological changes in such fields as stress analysis
have led to the development of Boiler and Pressure Codes by the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) which permit use of a safety
factor of three.
NOTE: This is the first bill signed into law by President Ford.
Xeroxed copies of the bill are available in the press office.
