Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 124 / Tuesday, June 30, 2009 / Notices sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES6 with a keel laid date on or after January 1, 2010, and for ships having a sewage treatment plant installed or delivered on or after January 1, 2010. Ships with a keel laid date prior to January 1, 2010, or ships having a sewage treatment plant installed or delivered prior to that date, may continue to use equipment certified to either the 1976 international effluent standards contained in resolution MEPC.2(VI) or an applicable national specification. In the United States, this applicable national specification is 33 CFR Part 159. MARPOL Annex IV may be applicable to other vessels including small tugs, recreational boats, yachts, etc., that engage in international voyages because Regulation 4 in MARPOL Annex IV requires a flag Administration to establish appropriate measures for vessels not subject to international sewage regulations. In this case, for U.S. vessels and other vessels subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, appropriate measures are provided for under 33 CFR Part 159. U.S. vessels intending to engage in international voyages may apply for a SOVC. Application Procedures Facilities that are in the business of independently evaluating, inspecting, and testing shipboard sewage systems and the effluent discharged from such systems for compliance with published standards may request a U.S. Coast Guard letter of acceptance as a qualified facility from the Office of Design and Engineering Standards (CG–521) listed under ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Manufacturers of sewage treatment plants may apply to any facility accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard as a qualified facility to perform independent evaluation, inspection, and testing of sewage treatment plants for compliance with MARPOL Annex IV. For sewage comminuting and disinfection systems, or for sewage holding tanks, the application is sent instead to any facility accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard as a recognized facility. To obtain a U.S. Certificate of Approval, the manufacturer submits the results from the qualified facility or recognized facility, as appropriate, along with other supporting documentation, to the Marine Safety Center listed under ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The owner or operator of a vessel registered in the United States with an installed and operational sewage system certified by the U.S. Coast Guard may apply for a SOVC for MARPOL Annex IV from the local OCMI or ACS, as appropriate. For assistance in finding VerDate Nov<24>2008 19:55 Jun 29, 2009 Jkt 217001 the nearest OCMI or ACS, visit our Internet portal Homeport at https:// homeport.uscg.mil and then select Port Directory. Alternatively, you may contact the Office of Vessel Activities (CG–543) listed under ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Surveys The vessel is subject to an initial examination before the ship is put into service or before the SOVC is issued for the first time. The purpose of this examination is to verify that the vessel’s structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangement, and material of the installed sewage system are fully compliant with MARPOL Annex IV. Before 5 years after the initial or last renewal survey, the vessel is subject to a renewal examination. The purpose of this examination is to verify that the vessel’s structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangement, and material of the installed sewage system are still compliant with MARPOL Annex IV. The vessel is subject to additional examinations, either general or partial, according to the circumstances, whenever any important repairs or renewals have been made to the installed sewage system. The purpose of this examination is to verify that the necessary repairs or renewals have been effectively made, that the materials and workmanship of such repairs or renewals are satisfactory, and that the ship is compliant with MARPOL Annex IV. Statement of Voluntary Compliance The cognizant OCMI or ACS may issue or renew, as appropriate, the SOVC for MARPOL Annex IV to a U.S. vessel that is equipped with an installed and operational sewage system certified by the U.S. Coast Guard after successful onboard survey. The SOVC for MARPOL Annex IV, issued on form CG– 6047A, is valid for a period up to five years unless endorsed with an extension, provided the periodic examinations are conducted and there is no change in the vessel’s flag. Vessels flagged outside the United States are not issued a SOVC certificate by the U.S. Coast Guard. Reciprocity Any vessel flagged or registered outside the United States that holds a valid ISPPC issued by its flag Administration indicating the installed sewage system complies with MARPOL Annex IV, as amended by either resolution MEPC.159(55) or MEPC.2(VI), will be accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard as being in compliance with U.S. regulations on design, construction, PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 31289 testing, and certification contained in 33 CFR part 159, while operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Acceptance of a valid ISPPC is conditional on the installed sewage system being substantially in an operable condition as required by MARPOL Annex IV, and may be subject to verification by the U.S. Coast Guard under port State control. Existing Certificates of Equivalency The cognizant OCMI or ACS, as appropriate, may continue to issue and renew existing Certificates of Equivalency issued to U.S. vessels under the provisions of ‘‘MOC Policy Letter No. 03–03’’ until January 1, 2010, at which time all such certificates will expire. A copy of ‘‘MOC Policy Letter No. 03–03’’ can be found on Homeport by clicking the ‘‘Library’’ tab and then the ‘‘Policy’’ tab, and finally the ‘‘Policy Letter’’ tab. SOVC certificates are required on or after January 1, 2010. Dated: June 23, 2009. Brian M. Salerno, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security and Stewardship. [FR Doc.
