DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Department of the Navy
Plastic Processor Installations on Navy Ships
AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships, 33
U.S.C. 1902(e)(4)(B), the Secretary of Defense must report, beginning
October 1, 1996, and each year until October 1, 1998, a list of the
names of ships equipped with plastic processors. This notice is the
third and final annual report.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Louis Maiuri, Office of the Chief
of Naval Operations Environmental Protection, Safety and Occupational
Health Division, Crystal Plaza #5, Room 654, 2211 South Clark Place,
Arlington, Virginia, 22244-5108; 703-602-2602.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The International Maritime Convention on the
Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), as amended by the MARPOL
Protocol of 1978, protects the ocean environment by prohibiting some
discharges altogether, restricting other discharges to particular
distances from land, and establishing ``special areas'' within which
additional discharge limitations apply. One of the discharges specified
for restriction under MARPOL Annex V is plastics.
The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships, 33 U.S.C. 1902(e)(2),
requires Navy ships equipped with plastics processors to comply with
MARPOL Annex V provisions for the disposal of plastics. The law also
establishes an installation schedule for plastic processor equipment
aboard Navy ships. The first production unit was required to be
installed by July 1, 1996, onboard a ship owned or operated by the
Navy. At least 25 percent of Navy ships requiring processors were to be
equipped by March 1, 1997. At least 50 percent of ships requiring
processors were to be equipped by July 1, 1997. No less than 75 percent
of ships requiring processors were to be equipped by July 1, 1998, and
all vessels requiring plastics processors shall be equipped by December
31, 1998. The statute further requires the Secretary of Defense to
report in the Federal Register the list of
[[Page 64466]]
the names of Navy ships equipped with plastic processors.
This Federal Register notice is the third and final required annual
report. On October 1, 1998, 177 ships had been equipped with plastic
processors. Plastic processors have now been installed on 94 percent of
those ships requiring this equipment. Completion of plastic processor
installations on 100 percent of Navy ships requiring this equipment
will be completed by December 31, 1998. The list of 177 Navy ships
equipped with plastic processors as of October 1, 1998 follows.
