Journal Article · Mon Feb 12 04:00:00 EST 1979 · Fed. Regist. (Wash., D.C.); (United States)

OSTI ID:6796687

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) proposes to add to the rules for tank vessels carrying oil in bulk, standards for segregated ballast tanks, dedicated clean ballast tanks, and crude washing systems, and to withdraw a previous proposal for double bottoms and segregated ballast tanks for certain tank vessels. Adoption of the proposal would reduce the probability of spillage of oil into the navigable waters of the U.S. from vessel accidents, reduce the amount of operational discharges into the oceans by deballasting and tank cleaning, and contribute to the conservation of oil. Written comments must be received by the USCG on or before 4/16/79. Public hearings will be held on 3/21/79 and 3/28/79.
