## Background and Purpose 

                    The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Maritime Safety Committee adopted the revised International Code for the Construction & Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code) last year. Over 120 products were omitted from either Chapter 17 or 18 of the IBC Code due to missing safety and or pollution data. The 41st session of the Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection working group on the Evaluation of the Hazards of Harmful Substances Carried by Ships and the most recent session of the working group on the Evaluation of Safety and Pollution Hazards updated this list. IMO will exclude these products from the revised IBC Code unless it receives the missing data by December 31, 2005. If these products are excluded, shippers will be unable to carry them in bulk after January 1, 2007 on most international voyages. Therefore, the manufacturers of these products should supply the missing safety and or pollution data to the IMO GESAMP/EHS Secretariat (see                     **ADDRESSES**                    ) by December 31, 2005.                 

This notice of an IMO action does not mean that the Coast Guard will necessarily be implementing the IMO action on all international shipments. Implementation of IMO actions would be the subject of a future rulemaking under a distinct docket.
