Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 164 / Friday, August 22, 2008 / Notices 49695 

Background and Purpose 

The Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (FEIS) provides an 

assessment of the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed regulation of residue 

resulting from the shipping of dry cargo 

on the Great Lakes. The preferred 

alternative would amend Coast Guard 

regulations in accordance with an 

existing policy that allows the discharge 

of nontoxic and nonhazardous bulk dry 

cargo residues in limited areas in the 

Great Lakes, with new requirements for 

recordkeeping and new designated 

special areas where discharges would be 

prohibited. The USCG has the authority 

to regulate such discharges on the Great 

Lakes under Section 623 of Public Law 

108–293.
