Department of Homeland Security February 13, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This final rule modifies several aspects of the permanent safety and security zones within the New York Captain of the Port Zone. This action modifies existing safety and security zones, consolidates and modifies safety and security zones currently found in separate regulations, and removes certain safety and security zones so as to better meet the safety and security needs of the New York and New Jersey port community.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted, with the support of the U.S. Government, through its delegation to IMO's Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC-58) meeting in October 2008, standardized formats for an Advanced Notice Form (ANF) and a Waste Delivery Receipt (WDR) relating to vessel waste streams. We anticipate that the new form and receipt will be widely distributed to vessels making port calls to the U.S. The Coast Guard encourages their use.
