included in the final PEA document. On 

the basis of the final PEA, CBP 

determined that the installation and 

operation of HEXRIS will have no 

significant impact on human health or 

the environment and that preparation of 

an EIS is not warranted. A FONSI was 

issued on August 3, 2010. The 

environmental implications for 

individual ports will be considered as 

HEXRIS are installed. Any relevant 

documents will be made available for 

public review via publication of notices 

in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

We published a final rule in the 

Federal Register on December 31, 2008, 

requiring the identification of salvage 

and marine firefighting services in 

vessel response plans (73 FR 80618). 

The regulation requires appropriate 

salvage and marine firefighting 

resources to be identified, contracted 

for, and capable of responding to 

incidents up to and including the worst 

case discharge scenario. The rulemaking 

sets new response planning timeframes 

for each of the required salvage and 

marine firefighting services. 

On August 31, 2009, the Coast Guard 

published another final rule concerning 

vessel response plans that deferred the 

implementation date for the salvage and 

marine firefighting requirements from 

June 1, 2010 to February 22, 2011 

(Vessel and Facility Response Plans for 

Oil: 2003 Removal Equipment 

Requirements and Alternative 

Technology Revisions, 74 FR 45004). As 

a result, pursuant to 33 CFR 

155.4020(a), tank vessel response plans 

incorporating salvage and firefighting 

changes must be submitted by February 

22, 2011. 

NVIC 2–10 provides voluntary 

guidance to vessel owners and 

operators, salvage and marine 

firefighting resource providers, and 

other members of the maritime industry 

for preparing and submitting the 

necessary information to comply with 

the requirements contained in the 

Salvage and Marine Firefighting 

Requirements; Vessel Response Plans 

for Oil, 33 CFR part 155, subpart I. The 

NVIC also contains an extensive list of 

frequently asked questions and job aids 

to assist affected industry in submitting 

the required updates to their vessel 

response plans. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552, and 33 CFR 1.05–15. 

Dated: September 27, 2010.
