Background and Purpose
Currently, applicable regulations that
address reducing the risk of oil spills
exist in 33 CFR subchapter O and in 46
CFR subchapter D. Section 702 of the
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010
requires the Coast Guard to promulgate
additional regulations to reduce the
risks of oil spills in operations involving
the transfer of oil from or to a tank
vessel (Pub. L. 111–281, codified at 46
U.S.C. 3703 Note). In accordance with
section 702, the Coast Guard intends to
focus on operations that have the
highest risks of discharge, including
operations at night and in inclement
weather. We are considering whether or
not to establish new or amend existing
regulations for the use of equipment,
such as putting booms in place for
transfers, safety, and environmental
impacts; and operational procedures
such as manning standards,
communication protocols, and
restrictions on operations in high-risk
areas. We are also taking into account
the safety of personnel and effectiveness
of available procedures and equipment
for preventing or mitigating transfer
spills.
Request for Comments
We seek public input and assistance
in identifying appropriate issues to
assist reducing the risks of oil spills in
operations involving the transfer of oil
from or to a tank vessel. We request
input on the following questions:
1. In addition to operations at night
and inclement weather, what other oil
transfer operations to or from tank
vessels have the highest risk of spilling
oil?
2. What measures should the Coast
Guard implement to reduce the spillage
of oil from other high-risk operations
conducted during oil transfer operations
to or from tank vessels?
3. What measures should the Coast
Guard implement to reduce spillage of
