Marine Vapor Control Systems
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule; information collection approval.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has approved the amendment of an existing collection of
information, as requested by the Coast Guard and described in the final
rule published on July 16, 2013. The final rule revised safety
regulations for facility and vessel vapor control systems (VCSs) to
promote safe VCS operation in an expanded range of activities now
subject to current Federal and State environmental requirements,
reflect industry advances in VCS technology, and codify the standards
for the design and operation of a VCS at tank barge cleaning
facilities. The revised regulations increase operational safety by
regulating the design, installation, and use of VCSs, but they do not
require anyone to install or use VCSs. The OMB must approve any
regulatory provisions that constitute a collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act, before an agency can enforce those
provisions. Having received OMB's approval, the Coast Guard will now
enforce collection of information requirements in the final rule. This
rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's maritime safety and stewardship
missions.
DATES: The collection of information requirements contained in the July
16, 2013 final rule (78 FR 42596) and approved by the OMB as an
amendment to existing collection of information, control number 1625-
0060, will be enforced beginning September 10, 2015. The requirements
include provisions for VCS certifications, recertifications, periodic
operational reviews, approval requests, reviews of operating manuals,
failure analyses, operational review letters, and relabeling. These
requirements aid the Coast Guard and industry in ensuring industry's
regulatory compliance and safe practices in connection with VCSs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's final rule, 78 FR 42596
(July 16, 2013), contained information collection provisions that
cannot be enforced against any member of the public until OMB approves
those provisions and assigns one or more OMB control numbers. The OMB
has now approved those provisions and assigned OMB Control Number 1625-
0060, and the Coast Guard will enforce them beginning September 10,
2015.
