Download as PDF 65446 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 216 / Wednesday, November 8, 2006 / Proposed Rules cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 07–04, entitled ‘‘Ballast Water Management for the Control of Aquatic Nuisance Species in the Waters of the United States’’ and change 1 to this guidance document. NVIC 07–04 also provides additional guidance on the equivalent reporting program for vessels operating exclusively within the EEZ (as established in 33 CFR 151.2043), allowing approved vessels to submit reports on a monthly basis, as opposed to the standard schedule required by 33 CFR 151.2041. These BWM reporting requirements are currently being reviewed for potential revisions. In this review process, the Coast Guard is interested in receiving comments on current reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in the mandatory BWM regulations in 33 CFR part 151, subparts C and D. Specifically, the Coast Guard is seeking public comments on the current ballast water management reporting submission requirements, including comments on vessel types currently required to submit ballast water management reporting forms. Also, the Coast Guard is seeking comments on the ballast water reporting form itself to determine whether or not the form should be updated. Comments submitted to the docket may or may not be used to amend these ballast water management reporting requirements. The Coast Guard plans to hold two public meetings associated with this notice to provide additional opportunities for public comment. These meetings are planned to be held during the week of March 12, 2007; one meeting will be held in the Great Lakes region and the other in the Gulf of Mexico. Specific information on these meetings will be published in the Federal Register as a separate follow-on notice. All stakeholders and interested parties are encouraged to submit comments to the docket and to attend a public meeting in or near their region. Dated: November 3, 2006. J.G. Lantz, Director of National and International Standards, Assistant Commandant for Prevention, U.S. Coast Guard. [FR Doc.
