(the Act), 33 U.S.C. 2732, to foster a
long-term partnership among industry,
government, and local communities in
overseeing compliance with
environmental concerns in the
operation of crude oil terminals and oil
tankers.
On October 18, 1991, the President
delegated his authority under 33 U.S.C
2732(o) to the Secretary of
Transportation in Executive Order
12777, section 8(g) (see 56 FR 54757;
October 22, 1991) for purposes of
certifying advisory councils, or groups,
subject to the Act. On March 3, 1992,
the Secretary redelegated that authority
to the Commandant of the USCG (see 57
FR 8582; March 11, 1992). The
Commandant redelegated that authority
to the Chief, Office of Marine Safety,
Security and Environmental Protection
(G-M) on March 19, 1992 (letter #5402).
On July 7, 1993, the USCG published
a policy statement, 58 FR 36504, to
clarify the factors that shall be
considered in making the determination
as to whether advisory councils, or
groups, should be certified in
accordance with the Act.
The Assistant Commandant for
Marine Safety and Environmental
Protection (G-M), redelegated
recertification authority for advisory
councils, or groups, to the Commander,
Seventeenth Coast Guard District on
February 26, 1999 (letter #16450).
On September 16, 2002, the USCG
published a policy statement, 67 FR
58440, that changed the recertification
procedures such that applicants are
required to provide the USCG with
comprehensive information every three
years (triennially). For each of the two
years between the triennial application
procedure, applicants submit a letter
requesting recertification that includes a
description of any substantive changes
to the information provided at the
previous triennial recertification.
Further, public comment is not solicited
prior to recertification during
streamlined years, only during the
triennial comprehensive review.
Recertification
By letter dated March 2, 2006, the
Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard
certified that the PWSRCAC qualifies as
an alternative voluntary advisory group
under 33 U.S.C. 2732(o). This

Ballast Water Reporting by Foreignflag Vessels Bound for the Great
Lakes.
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces
this notice as clarification of the ballast
water reporting requirements for
foreign-flag vessels bound for the Great
Lakes from outside the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ).
DATES: This notice is effective on April
17, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you have questions about this notice,
contact LT Keith Donohue,
Environmental Standards Division,
Coast Guard, telephone 202–267–0500,
e-mail: kdonohue@comdt.uscg.mil. If
you have questions about viewing
material on the docket, call Ms. Renee
V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket
Operations, telephone 202–493–0402.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The reporting requirements of 33 CFR
151.2041 apply to all foreign-flag vessels
with ballast water tanks that are bound
for the Great Lakes, unless exempted by
33 CFR 151.2010 and 151.2015. Foreignflag vessels do not include U.S. and
Canadian-flag vessels. These
requirements were amended by the final
rule entitled ‘‘Penalties for NonSubmission of Ballast Water
Management Reports,’’ published in the
Federal Register on June 14, 2004. See
69 FR 32864. That final rule mandated
that all foreign-flag vessels must provide
the complete information required in 33
CFR 151.2045 when bound for the Great
Lakes from beyond the EEZ, and gave
these vessels two options for doing so.
The first option allows reports to be
sent to the appropriate authority
established in 33 CFR 151.2041(b)(1)(i)
using the Coast Guard Ballast Water
Reporting Form, OMB form Control No.
1625–0069.
As an alternative, 33 CFR
151.2041(b)(1)(ii) allows foreign-flag
vessels to complete the ballast water
information section of the St. Lawrence
Seaway ‘‘Pre-entry Information from
Foreign Flagged Vessels Form’’ and
submit it in accordance with the
applicable Seaway Notice. However, the
Coast Guard highlights through this
notice that, if this second option is used,
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the owners and operators of these
vessels must still ensure they provide
all the information required by 33 CFR
151.2045 to be in compliance with the
ballast water reporting requirements. If
the Pre-entry form used to make the
applicable Seaway Notice does not
provide ample space for all the
information required by 33 CFR
151.2045, the information must still be
provided. This can be accomplished
either with an annotated version of the
Pre-entry form or an accompanying
Coast Guard Ballast Water Reporting
Form. Also, if the information required
by 33 CFR 151.2041 is submitted within
the Seaway Notice 96 hours prior to
arrival and the vessel’s ballast
information subsequently changes, an
amended form must be submitted before
the vessel departs the waters of the
United States.
In addition, the Coast Guard
published a Notice of Policy entitled
‘‘Ballast Water Management for Vessels
Entering the Great Lakes that Declare No
Ballast Onboard’’ in the Federal
Register on August 31, 2005. See 70 FR
51831. The Coast Guard Ballast Water
Reporting Form, with sections 4 and 5
properly completed, is the only means
of documenting a vessel’s
implementation of the voluntary best
management practices described in the
August 31, 2005 Notice of Policy. See 70
FR 51831.
Finally, to further avoid confusion
and reporting submission issues, the
Coast Guard recommends each foreignflag vessel that enters the Great Lakes
from outside the EEZ should submit the
required information using the Coast
Guard Ballast Water Reporting Form to
either the Coast Guard Captain of the
Port Buffalo, Massena Detachment or
the Saint Lawrence Seaway
Development Corporation, at least 24
hours before the vessel arrives in
Montreal, Quebec, in addition to the
Pre-entry form required by the
applicable Seaway Notice. The fax
number for the Coast Guard Captain of
the Port Buffalo, Massena Detachment is
315–769–5032, and the fax number for
the Saint Lawrence Seaway
Development Corporation is 315–764–
3250.
Dated: April 5, 2006.

Commandant for Prevention, U.S. Coast
