Title: Standards for Living Organisms in Ships' Ballast Water Discharged in U.S. Waters (USCG-2001-10486) 
Abstract: This rulemaking would propose to add a performance standard to 33 CFR part 151, subpart D, for all ballast water management methods being used as alternatives to mid-ocean ballast water exchange. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic goals of marine safety and protection of natural resources. This project is significant due to high interest from Congress and several Federal and State agencies, as well as costs imposed on industry.
