Coast Guard 

[Docket No. USCG–2009–0553] 

Material Safety Data Sheet 

Requirement in the International 

Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of effective date. 

SUMMARY: In the interest of providing 

seafarers with clear, concise, and 

accurate information on the health 

effects of certain toxic substances, the 

International Maritime Organization 

(IMO) recently amended the 

International Convention for the Safety 

of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, to require 

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) for 

ships carrying oil or oil fuel as defined 

in regulation 1 of Annex I of the 

International Convention for the 

Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 

1973, as modified by the Protocol of 

1978 relating thereto (MARPOL). Once 

accepted by member States in 

accordance with Article VIII of SOLAS, 

and effective January 1, 2011, SOLAS 

will require that each ship subject to 

SOLAS and carrying oil or oil fuel as 

defined in MARPOL must be provided 

with MSDSs prior to loading such oil as 

cargo in bulk or oil fuel. Additionally, 

the IMO has recommended a format and 

content for the MSDSs, and that 

recommendation becomes effective July 

1, 2009; the Coast Guard encourages this 

recommended format, which is set out 

below. 

DATES: If accepted in accordance with 

the Convention, the SOLAS requirement
