Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 5 / Friday, January 7, 2005 / Notices reauthorized and amended by the National Invasive Species Act of 1996, authorizes the Coast Guard to develop regulations to prevent the introduction of nonindigenous species (NIS) via ballast water discharges. The Coast Guard recently promulgated regulations in the Federal Register on June 14, 2004, entitled, ‘‘Penalties for Nonsubmission of Ballast Water Management Reports’’ (68 FR 32864) and on July 28, 2004, entitled ‘‘Mandatory Ballast Water Management for U.S. Waters’’ (69 FR 44952). In doing so, the Great Lakes Ballast Water Management Program that became effective on May 10, 1993 (58 FR 18330), has remained unchanged, with the exception that all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks that enter the Great Lakes must now submit their ballast water reporting forms as of August 13, 2004 (68 FR 32864). Description of Issue Only vessels carrying pumpable ballast water that enter the Great Lakes after operating outside the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone are required to comply with the Great Lakes ballast water management requirements found in 33 CFR part 151, subpart C. As a large number of vessels that call on the Great Lakes arrive with No Ballast on Board (NOBOB), they are not required to comply with these requirements. However, NOBOBs have the potential to carry NIS in their empty tanks via residual ballast water and/or accumulated sediments. Once NOBOBs enter the Great Lakes and take up ballast water, this water may mix with the residual water and sediments and if discharged into the Great Lakes, may provide a mechanism for NIS to enter the Great Lakes. Therefore, the Coast Guard is seeking the public’s assistance in developing management strategies to address the invasion risks posed by NOBOBs. The Coast Guard will use information gathered from this notice to develop a comprehensive program to reduce the threat of introducing NIS into the Great Lakes via NOBOBs. The identification of strategies to address invasion risks from residual ballast water and sediments must take into account vessel safety and stability, the full range of vessel types entering the Great Lakes, costs associated with implementing strategy options, and the need to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in actually preventing the introduction of NIS into the Great Lakes. The development of management strategies to prevent NIS introduction from NOBOBs presents a complex challenge and requires close collaboration VerDate jul<14>2003 18:03 Jan 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 between government agencies, the scientific community, the shipping industry, and a wide range of stakeholders.
