Title: ●Bulk Solid Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code
Abstract: This rulemaking proposed to align national regulations with the adoption of amendments to Chapter VI of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, for foreign and domestic vessels' international trade. It also proposed to eliminate the need to maintain previously-issued Coast Guard special permits for the carriage of solid hazardous materials in bulk. This project supports the Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program's goals to reduce crew member deaths and injuries on U.S. commercial vessels, to reduce the amount of environmentally hazardous substances discharged into the nation's waterways, and to promote the Coast Guard's strategic goal of maritime safety.
