Navigation and Vessel Inspection 

Circular (NVIC) 07–04, entitled ‘‘Ballast 

Water Management for the Control of 

Aquatic Nuisance Species in the Waters 

of the United States’’ and change 1 to 

this guidance document. NVIC 07–04 

also provides additional guidance on 

the equivalent reporting program for 

vessels operating exclusively within the 

EEZ (as established in 33 CFR 

151.2043), allowing approved vessels to 

submit reports on a monthly basis, as 

opposed to the standard schedule 

required by 33 CFR 151.2041. 

These BWM reporting requirements 

are currently being reviewed for 

potential revisions. In this review 

process, the Coast Guard is interested in 

receiving comments on current 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements contained in the 

mandatory BWM regulations in 33 CFR 

part 151, subparts C and D. Specifically, 

the Coast Guard is seeking public 

comments on the current ballast water 

management reporting submission 

requirements, including comments on 

vessel types currently required to 

submit ballast water management 

reporting forms. Also, the Coast Guard 

is seeking comments on the ballast 

water reporting form itself to determine 

whether or not the form should be 

updated. Comments submitted to the 

docket may or may not be used to 

amend these ballast water management 

reporting requirements. 

The Coast Guard plans to hold two 

public meetings associated with this 

notice to provide additional 

opportunities for public comment. 

These meetings are planned to be held 

during the week of March 12, 2007; one 

meeting will be held in the Great Lakes 

region and the other in the Gulf of 

Mexico. Specific information on these 

meetings will be published in the 

Federal Register as a separate follow-on 

notice. All stakeholders and interested 

parties are encouraged to submit 

comments to the docket and to attend a 

public meeting in or near their region.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

revision to the SIP as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located
