Docket number: USCG–2004–19621
The proposed requirement for each vessel to carry its own vessel-specific DCR management plan on board, and to have that plan available for inspection, is central to the enforceability of a discharge minimization requirement.
It is listed what would show a vessel's failure to minimize discharges in relation to the management plan, but how does the Coast Guard plan to enforce compliance? What happens to the vessel if it does not keep a management plan in accordance with the proposed rule? If the plan is central to the enforceability of a discharge minimization requirement, it is suggested that the proposed rule detail more of the implementation of inspections and what penalties the vessels will incur if they do not comply.
