        <RULE_TITLE>Pollution Prevention Equipment (USCG-2004-18939)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would revise the Coast Guards pollution prevention equipment (PPE) regulations to reflect and implement International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex I, Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution guidelines and specifications that Member States are invited to make applicable on or after January 1, 2005.  The new standards will require equipment designed to reduce the amount of oil discharged from ships and eliminate the need for ozone-depleting solvents to test this equipment for approval.  Additionally, this rulemaking proposes the removal of the bilge monitor standard to better align the 46 CFR subpart 162.050 regulations with the IMO PPE guidelines.  This project supports the Coast Guards strategic goals of maritime safety and protection of natural resources.]]></ABSTRACT>
