Title: Double Hull Standards for Vessels Carrying Oil in Bulk (CGD 90-051) 
Abstract: The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires a double hull to be fitted on vessels carrying oil in bulk. The Act does not provide technical standards for a double hull. The IFR implemented the requirements of the Act and established technical standards. It was reviewed to reconsider variances from international standards. This rulemaking is significant because of substantial general, international, and congressional interest.
