Overfill Devices; Interim Final Rule

The Coast Guard is issuing an interim final rule (IFR) that establishes minimum standards for overfill devices and requires the phased-in installation and use of devices on the cargo tanks of certain tank vessels that carry oil or oil residue as primary cargo. Regulations addressing minimum standards for and concerning the use of overfill devices are required by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). The purpose of the interim regulations is to reduce the likelihood of spills when oil is loaded as cargo.
