Establishment of Dispersant 

Preauthorization Area in Alaska 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

dispersant preauthorization plan. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

6880 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 9, 2016 / Notices 

SUMMARY: On behalf of the Alaska 

Regional Response Team (ARRT), the 

U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) announces 

establishment of a more inclusive, 

comprehensive, and conservative 

dispersant use policy that includes a 

preauthorization area and an enhanced 

protocol for use of chemical dispersant 

during responses to spills of crude oil in 

certain waters offshore of Alaska. 

Federal regulations covering certain 

vessel response plans require 

development of defined dispersant 

response capabilities when such vessels 

are operating in waters where dispersant 

use preauthorization agreements exist. 

DATES: Plan holders for affected vessel 

response plans have 24 months from the 

date of publication of this notice to 

achieve compliance.

Discussion 

The Alaska Regional Response Team 

(ARRT) is one of 13 interagency, 

intergovernmental groups responsible 

under the National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 

(a.k.a. National Contingency Plan or 

NCP) at 40 CFR part 300 for regional 

planning, including policy 

development, and coordination of 

preparedness and response actions 

related to discharges of oil and releases 

of hazardous materials and other 

pollutants and contaminants into the 

environment. The ARRT’s 

responsibilities include development of 

policies regarding the preauthorization 

of certain alternative (non-mechanical) 

countermeasures, including chemical 

dispersants, used in oil spill response 

operations. 

Preauthorization for use of 

dispersants has not existed in the 

Alaska region since September 2008. 

This new policy change will allow for 

industry to develop a reliable, regulated 

dispersant use capability to be available 

to mitigate—if directed by the Federal 

On Scene Coordinator—large crude oil 

spills more readily. However, extensive 

government, tribal, and other 

stakeholder notifications would be 

required before use. 

Following a multi-year collaborative 

effort among governmental agencies as 

described in the NCP at 40 CFR 300.910, 

the ARRT signed a new Dispersant Use 

Plan for Alaska (Appendix I, Annex F, 

Alaska Federal/State Preparedness Plan 

for Response to Oil & Hazardous 

Substance Discharges/Releases [Unified 

Plan]) on January 27, 2016. This 

document includes, among other things, 

an updated protocol for use and 

monitoring of chemical dispersants in 

undesignated areas on a case-by-case 

basis and a preauthorization plan for 

use and monitoring of chemical 

dispersants on spills from tank vessels 

carrying crude oil as cargo during noninnocent passage through certain areas 

north and south of the Aleutian Island 

chain and the northern Gulf of Alaska. 

The Dispersant Use Plan for Alaska may 

be found at www.alaskarrt.org. 

U.S. Coast Guard enforcement of the 

requirements of 33 CFR 154.1035 and 

1045 and 33 CFR 155.1035, and 1050 

depends upon existence of a dispersant 

preauthorization plan (including a 

preauthorization area) which complies 

with the requirements of the NCP, 

specifically at 40 CFR 300.910. 

Enforcement of the preauthorization 

area compliance requirements will take 

effect 24 months after publication of this 

notice to allow plan holders time to 

achieve compliance. 

Development of the Dispersant Use 

Plan for Alaska included compliance 

with the consultation (with National 

Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Fish 

& Wildlife Service) requirements of 

section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 

(ESA), Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) 

analysis required by the MagnussonStevens Fisheries Conservation and 

Management Act, consideration of the 

requirements of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act (MMPA), outreach to 

affected communities and stakeholder 

groups, compliance with State of Alaska 

public notice requirements, and 

consultation with federally-recognized 

tribes as required by Executive Order 

13175. Implementation of the new 

policy includes a 24-month timeline for 

development of dispersant areas to be 

avoided within geographic subareas 

covered by the preauthorization area. It 

also includes industry establishing 

sufficient dispersant capability in 

locales to be available for potential 

authorization for use by the Federal On 

Scene Coordinator during a spill 

response. Failure to establish dispersant 

areas to be avoided within geographic 

subareas covered by the 

preauthorization area will result in the 

entire geographic subarea reverting to 

the case-by-case dispersant use protocol 

used in undesignated areas until such 

time as dispersant use avoidance areas 

are developed. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and 

Executive Order 12777.

Receipt of Domestic Interested Party 

Petition Concerning the Tariff 

Classification of a Steel Tube Fitting 

AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice; solicitation of 

comments. 

SUMMARY: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) has received a petition 

submitted on behalf of a domestic 

interested party requesting the 

reclassification under the Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States 

(HTSUS) of a steel tube fitting from 

Taiwan. CBP classified the steel tube 

fitting under subheading 7307.99.50, 

HTSUS, which provides for: ‘‘Tube or 

pipe fittings (for example, couplings, 

elbows, sleeves), of iron or steel: Other: 

Other: Other.’’ The 2015 column one, 

general rate of duty is 4.3 percent ad 

valorem. Petitioner contends that the 

proper classification for the steel tube 

fitting is under subheading 8412.90.90, 

HTSUS, which provides for: ‘‘Other 

engines and motors, and parts thereof: 

Parts: Other.’’ Petitioner asserts that 

some of its competitors are classifying 

all or a substantial portion of similar 

fittings as parts of hydraulic systems, 

under subheading 8412.90.90, HTSUS,
