Tank Level or Pressure Monitoring Devices

Résumé

The Coast Guard will hold a public meeting to discuss implementation of the provision in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) which requires the establishment of minimum performance standards for tank level or pressure monitoring devices for tank vessels that carry oil. OPA 90 also requires the promulgation of regulations establishing, consistent with generally recognized principles of international law, requirements concerning the use of these devices. Public comment is sought with regard to both the establishment of minimum performance standards and the establishment of operating requirements for tank level and pressure monitoring devices for oil cargo tanks on tank vessels. The Coast Guard will hold the meeting to give the public an opportunity to comment and provide input to the development of this regulation.
