Coast Guard 

[USCG–2003–16814] 

RIN 1625–AA89 

Discharge of Dry Cargo Residues in 

the Great Lakes

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard gives notice 

that Congressional authorization of the 

United States 1997 interim enforcement 

policy relating to the incidental 

discharge of dry cargo residue on the 

Great Lakes has been extended by new 

legislation until 2008 or until new 

regulations take effect. The new 

legislation gives us until November 7, 

2004, to begin regulatory environmental 

assessment. We have already opened the 

necessary project for developing new 

regulations, and intend to meet the new 

legislation’s environmental assessment 

deadline.

DATES: The interim enforcement policy 

will continue in force until September 

30, 2008, unless it is replaced by new 

regulations at an earlier date. The Coast 

Guard must begin environmental 

assessment in connection with new 

regulations by November 7, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Any comments or material 

received from the public in regard to 

this notice, as well as documents 

mentioned in the notice as being 

available in the public docket, are part 

of docket USCG–2003–16814 and may 

be viewed online at http://dms.dot.gov

or at the Docket Management Facility, 

U.S. Department of Transportation, 

room PL–401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., 

Washington, DC between 9 a.m. and 5 

p.m. Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions relating to the 

substance of this notice call LCDR Mary 

Sohlberg, U.S. Coast Guard, telephone 

202–267–0713 or via e-mail 

msohlberg@comdt.uscg.mil. If you have 

questions on viewing the docket, call 

Andrea M. Jenkins, Program Manager, 

Docket Operations, Department of 

Transportation, telephone 202–366–

0271.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is intended to update you 

concerning the Coast Guard’s interim 

enforcement policy (IEP) for incidental 

vessel discharges of non-hazardous and 

non-toxic cargo residues (‘‘dry cargo 

discharges’’) on the Great Lakes. The IEP 

is set out in full in the 2004 Ninth 

District Special Notice to Mariners 

(pages 66–69) and the Ninth Coast 

Guard District Notice CCGD9NOTE 

16460 dated January 28, 1997, which are 

available in the public docket (see 

ADDRESSES). Earlier this year, we 

published a notice (69 FR 1994, Jan. 13, 

2004) informing you that continued 

Congressional authorization for the IEP 

was due to expire on September 30, 

2004. We noted that, absent some new 

set of regulations, the IEP’s expiration 

would lead to strict enforcement of the 

existing statutory framework, which 

bans dry cargo discharges on the Great 

Lakes. We said we would begin 

developing the new regulations, but 

cautioned that they probably could not 

be ready by September 2004. 

On August 9, 2004, the Coast Guard 

and Maritime Transportation Act of 

2004 Pub. L. 108–293, (‘‘the Act’’), 

became law. Section 623 of the Act 

extends the IEP until September 30, 

2008, or issuance of new regulations, 

whichever comes first. It gives the Coast 

Guard 90 days from the statute’s 

enactment, i.e., until November 7, 2004, 

to begin environmental assessment 

connected with new regulations. In July 

2004, the Coast Guard approved a dry 

cargo discharges regulatory project, and 

we expect to meet the Act’s deadline for 

beginning environmental assessment. 

As we reach milestones in the 

environmental assessment and 

regulatory processes, we will issue 

additional Federal Register notices to 

keep you informed and invite your 

participation.

Dated: September 20, 2004. 

T.H. Gilmour, 

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant 

Commandant for Marine Safety, Security and 

Environmental Protection.
