						information required by Subsections
						827.02 (a) through
						(n) for each of the Geographic Regions the

						be used in lieu of developing comparable documentation to fulfill certain
						required contingency plan elements if the documentation meets the requirements
						of this subchapter.
NOTE: Subsections
						827.02(a) through
						(f) contain the nontank vessel-specific

					 following information for each nontank vessel covered by the plan:
(A) the nontank vessel's name, country of
					 registry, year built, classification society, radio call sign, and Lloyd's IMO
					 identification number. For U.S. flagged (registered) nontank vessels without a
					 Lloyd's IMO identification number, the vessel's official number (also known as
					 the document number) shall be used;
(B) name, address, phone number, fax number
					 and email address if available of the owner and/or operator of the nontank
					 vessel(s). This information shall be referenced in the plan title or on a title
					 page at the front of the plan;

(E) Certification Statement
1. Owner/operators shall provide a
					 certification statement signed under penalty of perjury by an executive within
					 the plan holder's management who is authorized to fully implement the oil spill
					 contingency plan, who shall review the plan for accuracy, feasibility, and
					 executability. If this executive does not have training, knowledge and
					 experience in the area of oil spill prevention and response, the certification
					 statement must also be signed by another individual within the plan holders'
					 management structure who has this requisite training, knowledge, and
					 experience. The certification shall be submitted according to the following
					 format:
"I certify, to the best of my knowledge and belief, under
						penalty of perjury under the laws of the state of California, that the nontank
						vessel-specific information contained in this contingency plan is true and
						correct and that the plan as a whole is both feasible and executable."
