Use of Reports of Marine Casualty in 

Claims Process by National Pollution 

Funds Center 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of interpretation; 

response to comments received. 

SUMMARY: On October 13, 2006, the 

Coast Guard published a notice of 

interpretation that the prohibition in 46 

U.S.C. 6308 on the use of any part of a 

report of a Coast Guard marine casualty 

investigation report (MCIR) in certain 

administrative proceedings does not 

prohibit use of such reports in the 

process used by the Coast Guard’s 

National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC) 

for determining to pay or deny claims 

under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. We 

received two comments in response to 

the notice, neither of which effects the 

interpretation. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions on this notice, please contact 

Benjamin White, U.S. Coast Guard’s 

National Pollution Funds Center 

(NPFC), telephone 202–493–6863. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2006, we published a notice 

of interpretation entitled ‘‘Use of 

Reports of Marine Casualty in Claims 

Process by National Pollution Funds 

Center’’ (71 FR 60553). The notice 

provided for a comment period ending 

November 13, 2006. 

Background and Purpose 

The Coast Guard investigates and 

reports on marine casualties pursuant to 

46 U.S.C. Chapter 63. Under 46 U.S.C. 

6308 no part of a report of a marine 

casualty investigation ‘‘shall be 

admissible as evidence or subject to 

discovery in any civil or administrative 

proceedings, other than an 

administrative proceeding initiated by 

the United States.’’ Marine casualties 

may result in the discharge or 

substantial threat of discharge of oil to 

the navigable waters, adjoining 

shorelines or the exclusive economic
