K. Landman, Project Manager, Oil Pollution Act (OPA 90) Staff (G-MS),
and Jacqueline L. Sullivan, Project Counsel, Office of the Chief
Counsel.
Regulatory History
Because the MARPOL amendments establishing the Gulf of Aden, the
Wider Caribbean Region, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and Antarctic
special areas have already been adopted and are effective for all party
states, including the United States, the Coast Guard has determined
under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)) that there is
good cause for issuing this final rule without publishing a notice of
proposed rule making (NPRM). Further, with reference to the designation
of certain special areas under MARPOL 73/78, an opportunity for public
comment was provided during a June 26, 1991 open meeting of the
Subcommittee for the Prevention of Marine Pollution, Shipping
Coordinating Committee. Notice of this meeting was published in the May
31, 1991 edition of the Federal Register (56 FR 24868).
Background and Purpose
MARPOL 73/78
The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships [33 U.S.C. 1901, et. seq.]
(the Act) both authorizes the issuance of regulations to implement
Annexes I, II, and V of the International Convention for the Prevention
of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978, as
amended (MARPOL 73/78) and requires compliance with MARPOL 73/78, the
Act, and regulations issued thereunder. Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 is
entitled ``Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Oil'' and is
designed to prevent the discharge of oil into the marine environment.
MARPOL 73/78 defines oil as petroleum in any form, including crude oil,
fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse and refined products; it does not include
animal or vegetable based oil or noxious liquid substances (NLSs).
Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 is entitled ``Regulations for the Control of
Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk'' and is designed to
prevent the discharge of NLSs carried in bulk into the marine
environment. These bulk liquid chemicals are designated in Appendix II
to Annex II of MARPOL 73/78. Annex V of MARPOL 73/78 is entitled
``Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships''
and is designed to prevent the discharge of ship-generated garbage into
the marine environment. Garbage means all kinds of victual, domestic,
and operational waste, excluding fish and parts thereof, generated
during the normal operation of the ship and liable to be disposed of
continuously or periodically. Annexes I, II, and V have discharge
restrictions for designated special areas.
Amendments to Annexes I and V of MARPOL 73/78 were adopted at the
30th and 31st sessions of the Marine Environment Protection Committee
(MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The amendments
designating the Antarctic area as a special area under Annexes I and V
of MARPOL 73/78 were adopted by the MEPC on November 16, 1990 by
Resolution MEPC.42(30). They entered into force for party States,
including the United States, on March 17, 1992. Resolution MEPC.42(30)
required that the designation of the Antarctic as a special area take
effect on the day the amendments entered into force to ensure timely
and adequate protection of the area.
Amendments to Annex II of MARPOL 73/78 were adopted at the 33rd
session of the MEPC. The amendment designating the Antarctic area as a
special area under Annex II was adopted by the MEPC on October 30, 1992
by Resolution MEPC.57(33). This amendment became effective on July 1,
1994 for countries party to MARPOL 73/78.
The Annex II amendments designating the Antarctic area as a special
area contain a prohibition on discharging any NLS into the sea. Unlike
the Antarctic special area provisions of Annexes I and V, the
provisions of Annex II do not specifically require the Government of
each Party to MARPOL 73/78, at whose ports ships depart en route to or
arrive from the Antarctic area, undertake to ensure that as soon as
practicable adequate facilities are provided for the reception of all
substances prohibited for discharge at sea. The Baltic Sea area and
Black Sea area were designated as special areas when Annex II of MARPOL
73/78 entered into force on April 6, 1987.
The amendments designating the Gulf of Aden as a special area under
Annex I were adopted by the MEPC on December 1, 1987 by Resolution
MEPC.29(25). They were subsequently accepted on October 1, 1988 and
entered into force on April 1, 1989. The amendments designating the
Wider Caribbean region as a special area under Annex V were adopted by
the MEPC on July 4, 1991 by Resolution MEPC.48(31). They were
subsequently accepted on October 4, 1992 and entered into force for
party States on April 4, 1993. The Gulf of Aden special area under
Annex I and the Wider Caribbean special area under Annex V are not yet
enforceable due to a lack of adequate reception facilities in states
party to MARPOL 73/78 bordering these special areas.
The MEPC adopted additional amendments to Annex I of MARPOL 73/78
at its 32nd session. The amendments revised Regulation 21 of Annex I to
MARPOL 73/78, prohibiting the discharge of oil in special areas from
fixed or floating platforms. Resolution MEPC.51(32) was adopted on
March 6, 1992, accepted on January 6, 1993, and entered into force on
July 6, 1993.
Special Areas
1. General
The term ``special area'' means a sea area where, for recognized
technical reasons in relation to its oceanographic and ecological
condition and to the particular character of its traffic, the adoption
of special mandatory methods for the prevention of sea pollution by
oil, NLSs, or garbage is required. Special areas are bodies of water
which require additional protections beyond the normal discharge
requirements. Special areas for purposes of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 are
listed in 33 CFR 151.13 and for the purposes of Annex V of MARPOL 73/78
are listed in 33 CFR 151.53 and 151.71. Special areas for purposes of
Annex II are currently not listed in 33 CFR part 151. Annex II special
areas discharge restrictions are enforceable under 46 CFR 153.903.
2. The Antarctic Area
MARPOL 73/78, and Annexes I, II, and V, define the Antarctic area
to mean
[[Page 43376]]
the sea area south of 60 deg. south latitude. This boundary has been
established by the Antarctic Treaty and the Convention on Antarctic
Marine Living Resources. In respect to the Antarctic area, MARPOL 73/78
requires that any discharge into the sea of oil wastes or garbage from
any ship shall be prohibited.
The amendments designating the Antarctic area as a special area
under Annexes I and V of MARPOL 73/78 do not call for the establishment
of waste reception facilities within the special area as is mandated in
other special areas under these annexes of MARPOL 73/78. At the 15th
Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting of October 1989, it was agreed
that waste reception facilities within the Antarctic special area would
be unacceptable because the existence of such facilities would involve
problems associated with ultimate disposal of the wastes within the
area. It was agreed that there should be no discharge of oily residues
and mixtures or garbage in the Antarctic area either ashore or into the
sea. All waste should instead be removed, where possible, from the
special area.
The amendments to Annex I and Annex V placed the primary obligation
on flag states whose ships enter the Antarctic area to ensure that
adequate reception facilities are provided. MARPOL 73/78 requires that
flag states ensure that all ships entitled to fly their flag, before
entering the Antarctic area, have sufficient capacity on board for all
oily wastes and garbage while operating in the area and have concluded
arrangements to discharge such garbage at a reception facility after
leaving the area.
Requirements are already in place in the United States to enforce
MARPOL 73/78 discharge restrictions for oil and garbage. 33 CFR 151.25
requires the master or other person having charge of a ship to maintain
an oil record book on board and record oil discharges made. This oil
record book is required on board oil tankers of 150 gross tons, ships
of 400 gross tons or more, and manned fixed or floating platforms. In
addition, Sec. 151.55 requires that all manned, oceangoing U.S. ships
that are 12.2 meters or more in length and that are engaged in commerce
keep records of garbage discharges and disposals. Likewise, all fixed
or floating platforms subject to the jurisdiction of the United States
must keep such records as well. Log entries indicating discharge
operations may be considered by enforcement personnel in evaluating
compliance with MARPOL 73/78 discharge restrictions in the Antarctic
area. These records provide a means of verifying that oil and garbage
have been disposed of properly by U.S. ships.
3. Gulf of Aden Area
Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 defines the Gulf of Aden area to mean that
part of the Gulf of Aden between the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea
bounded to the west by the rhumb line between Ras si Ane (12 deg.28.5'
N, 43 deg.19.6' E) and Husn Murad (12 deg.40.4' N, 43 deg.30.2' E) and
to the east by the rhumb line between Ras Asir (11 deg.50' N,
51 deg.16.9' E) and the Ras Fartak (15 deg.35' N, 52 deg.13.8' E). The
discharge requirements for the Gulf of Aden special area will become
effective once each party to MARPOL 73/78 whose coastline borders the
special area certifies that reception facilities are available and the
IMO establishes an effective date.
4. Wider Caribbean Region
Annex V of MARPOL 73/78 defines the Wider Caribbean region to mean
the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea proper, including the bays and
seas therein. This region includes that portion of the Atlantic Ocean
within the boundary constituted by the 30 deg. N parallel from Florida
eastward to 77 deg.30' W meridian, thence a rhumb line to the
intersection of 20 deg. N parallel and 59 deg. W meridian, thence a
rhumb line to the intersection of 7 deg.20' N parallel and 50 deg. W
meridian, thence a rhumb line drawn southwesterly to the eastern
boundary of French Guiana.
The MEPC established a different standard for the discharge of
victual waste for the Wider Caribbean region than other special areas.
Annex V requires that disposal into the sea of victual wastes be made
as far out as practicable, but not less than 12 nautical miles from the
nearest land. An additional provision requires disposal of victual
wastes which have passed through a comminuter or grinder to be made as
far as practicable from land, but in any case not less than 3 nautical
miles from the nearest land. Such victual wastes should be capable of
passing through a screen with openings no greater than 25 millimeters.
These discharge requirements will become effective for the Wider
Caribbean region special area once each party to MARPOL 73/78 whose
coastline borders the special area certifies that reception facilities
are available and the IMO establishes an effective date.
Discussion of Final Rule
The Coast Guard and the MEPC have determined that the amendments
fully conform to the purpose, spirit, and intent of MARPOL 73/78. This
final rule is amending existing regulations in 33 CFR part 151 to
incorporate the provisions of these amendments to MARPOL 73/78. This
final rule is adding the geographic description of all special areas in
new Sec. 151.06. Discharge requirements for the various special areas
are contained in Secs. 151.13, 151.32. 151.53, 151.71, and 155.400. New
Sec. 151.32 to 33 CFR part 151 describes the Annex II special areas
currently enforceable under 46 CFR 153.903. Other minor changes have
been made to clarify which MARPOL 73/78 requirements for special areas
are in effect in the United States for U.S. flag vessels.
Sections 151.13, 151.32, and 151.53 have been amended to clarify
that the discharge restrictions will not go into effect until a
sufficient number of states bordering certain special areas have
notified the IMO that reception facilities are available.
Regulatory Evaluation
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that order. It has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget under that order. It is not significant under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44
FR 11040; February 26, 1979).
The Coast Guard expects the economic impact of this final rule to
be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph 10e of
the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is unnecessary. The rule
imposes no new costs on the maritime industry. It implements
requirements for the designated Antarctic area, the Gulf of Aden, the
Baltic Sea area, the Black Sea area, and the Wider Caribbean region as
special areas under MARPOL 73/78 for oil and NLSs.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the
Coast Guard considered whether this final rule would have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. ``Small
entities'' may include (1) small businesses and not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their field and (2) governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard expects that few new costs will be associated with
this rule because few small entities operate in the areas being
designated as special areas except in the Wider Caribbean Area. In
addition, regardless of whether these
[[Page 43377]]
regulations are codified in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, the
MARPOL designation of the special areas will be applicable to all
vessels operating in these areas. The Coast Guard expects the impact of
this final rule to be minimal. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies
under section 605(b) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq.) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
Collection of Information
This rule contains no collection-of-information requirements under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
The Coast Guard has analyzed this rule under the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has determined that
this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant
the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Environment
The Coast Guard considered the environmental impact of this rule
and concluded that, under paragraph 2.B.2 of Commandant Instruction
M16475.1B, this rule is categorically excluded from further
environmental documentation. This rule is expected to contribute to the
reduction of the occurrence of ship-generated oil spills in the marine
environment. A ``Categorical Exclusion Determination'' is available in
the docket for inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.
