Plastic Processor Installation on Navy Ships

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under 33 U.S.C. 1902(e)(4)(B), the Secretary of Defense must 
report annually in years 1996 through 1998 a list of ships equipped 
with plastic processors. This notice is the second annual report.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Louis Maiuri, Office of the Chief 
of Naval Operations Environmental Protection, Safety and Occupational 
Health Division, Crystal City Plaza #5, Room 654, 2211 South Clark 
Place, Arlington, Virginia, 22244-5108, telephone 703-602-2602.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The International Convention on the 
Prevention of Pollution from ships (MARPOL) as amended by the MARPOL 
Protocol of 1978, protects the ocean environment by prohibiting some 
discharges altogether, restricting other discharges to particular 
distances from land, and establishing ``special areas'' within which 
additional discharge limitations apply. One of the discharges specified 
for restriction under MARPOL Annex V is plastics.
    U.S. law, 33 U.S.C. 1902(e)(2), requires ships equipped with 
plastics processors to comply with MARPOL Annex V provisions for the 
disposal of plastics. The law also establishes an installation schedule 
for plastics processor equipment aboard ships. The first production 
unit shall be installed by July 1, 1996 on board a Navy ship. At least 
25 percent of ships requiring processors shall be equipped by March 1, 
1997. At least 50 percent of ships requiring processors shall be 
equipped by July 1, 1997. No less than 75 percent of ships requiring 
processors shall be equipped by July 1, 1998, and all vessels requiring 
plastics processors shall be equipped by December 31, 1998. The statute 
further requires the Secretary of Defense to report in the Federal 
Register a list of the names of ships equipped with plastics 
processors.
    This Federal Register notice is the second of the required annual 
reports. A list of the 138 Navy ships equipped with plastics processors
