Traducción automática local · Idioma original de la fuente
Resumen
On August 18, 2004, the Coast Guard published a temporary rule entitled "Notification of Arrival in U.S. Ports; Certain Dangerous Cargoes; Electronic Submission." 69 FR 51176. This temporary rule, which expires March 20, 2006, added ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate based fertilizers, in bulk, and propylene oxide, alone or mixed with ethylene oxide, in bulk, to the list of Certain Dangerous Cargoes (CDCs) for which a notice of arrival (NOA) is required. The Coast Guard is now permanently changing the definition of "certain dangerous cargo" to include (1) ammonium nitrate, in bulk; (2) ammonium nitrate based fertilizers, in bulk; and (3) propylene oxide, alone or mixed with ethylene oxide, in bulk. This rule also adds an option for vessels to submit notices of arrival electronically. These changes are necessary to promote maritime safety and security and to facilitate the uninterrupted flow of commerce by providing the Coast Guard with information on these cargoes.
