c / G9 approval process applies t o systems that make use of Active Substances in order to comply with the Convention. Although purely UV

- based sy s tems

would not seem to fall within scope of G9, at least one UV system (‘ Glo

- enPatrol’ system ) has been submitted for G9 review (MEPC 57/2/4) a nd received Basic

Approval MEPC 57/X ¶ 2.XXX ; 57/2/10, Annex 6 [GESAMP] . MEPC also is considering whether to have all systems screened by GESAMP to determine if

they make use of Active Substances in order to promote uniform interpretation and application of G9 approval process. See , BLG 12/5/1; MEPC 57/ XXX ¶ XX

d / Peraclean is a proprietary fo r mul a tion containing peroxyacertic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This product received a conditional FIFRA registration in

Sep

- 07 for use in ballast water treatment ( Registration No. 54289
