        <RULE_TITLE>Regulations for Gray and Black Water Discharges From Cruise Ships Operating in Certain Alaskan Waters</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On December 12, 2000, Congress passed HR 4577 which contained a section called Certain Alaskan Cruise Ship Operations (title XIV). Title XIV established enforceable discharge standards for sewage and graywater from large cruise ships operating in Alaskan waters and authorizes EPA to develop revised and/or additional standards for these discharges into the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve. EPA will develop any such standards based on the best available scientific information on the environmental effects of the regulated discharges and the availability of new technologies for wastewater treatment. The implementation of these regulations would reduce environmental impacts of cruise ships operating in the waters of Alaska, the Alexander Archipelago, and the Kachemak Bay National Marine Estuarine Research Reserve.]]></ABSTRACT>
