Implementation of the Shore Protection Act of 1988

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In May 1989, the Coast Guard began rulemaking to incorporate 
into regulation certain elements of the Shore Protection Act. Its 
objective was to help prevent trash, medical debris, and other 
unsightly and potentially harmful materials from being deposited into 
the coastal waters of the United States as a result of sloppy waste-
handling procedures. Because no additional regulations are needed, the 
Coast Guard is discontinuing rulemaking under docket number 89-014.

DATES: This discontinuance is effective on December 13, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lieutenant Junior Grade L.V. Kabler, Project Manager, Office of Marine 
Safety, Security, and Environmental Protection (G-MRO-1), (202) 267-
0423.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a Federal Register document published May 
24, 1989, (54 FR 22546) the Coast Guard contemplated, at some point in 
the future, establishing procedures for a regular permit and for 
suspension-and-revocation proceedings under the Shore Protection Act 
(33 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Because the Coast Guard has determined that 
the current procedures implementing the Act are satisfactory, it has 
decided to continue issuing conditional permits to vessels carrying 
waste in the coastal waters of the United States and to discontinue any 
further rulemaking under docket number 89-014. It will, at some point 
in the future, re-examine the necessity of further rulemaking and may, 
at that point, initiate a new rulemaking under a new docket number.

    Dated: December 6, 1995.
Joseph J. Angelo,
Director for Standards.
