Pollution Prevention for Oceangoing Ships and Certain Vessels in Domestic Service

The Coast Guard amends regulations for pollution prevention from ships to align domestic requirements with international maritime pollution standards. This rule changes regulations concerning: oily- water separators, operational discharges of oil, damage and intact stability of tank vessels, period of validity for an International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate, and garbage recordkeeping requirements. To provide consistency with industry standards and clarify U.S. oil regulations, we are also amending oily mixture discharge shore connection requirements for certain vessels and redefining certain terms dealing with oil.
