The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is considering amending the rules for protection of the marine environment relating to tank vessels carrying oil in bulk by requiring all oil tankers of 20,000 dwt or more, U.S. and foreign, that call at U.S. ports, places, or deepwater ports to engage in commercial service to report certain ownership information, all registered names the vessel has had since it began operation, and the country of current registry. This amendment is intended to contribute to a reduction in the number of oil spills in U.S. waters and at U.S. ports. Comments must be received by the USCG on or before 6/12/78. The USCG will hold three public hearings on the proposed amendment: on 5/12/78 in New York, on 5/23/78 in Long Beach, Calif., and on 5/26/78 in Houston.
