Title: Vessel Incidental Discharge National Standards of Performance | |
Abstract:
Development of National Performance Standards for Marine Pollution Control Devices for Discharges Incidental to the Normal Operation of Commercial Vessels. On December 4, 2018, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA) was signed into law establishing a new framework for the regulation of discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels. VIDA is part of title IX of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Reauthorization Act of 2018, which addresses several maritime and environmental policies. Under VIDA, the EPA is responsible for developing national performance standards for discharges from primarily commercial vessels greater than 79 feet in length, and for ballast water from small vessels less than 79 feet and fishing vessels. EPA published the proposed rule (Vessel Incidental Discharge National Standards of Performance) in the Federal Register for public comment in October 2020. Based on EPA’s review of the proposed rule and comments received during the first public comment period and subsequent meetings with interested states, tribes, and other stakeholders, EPA has decided to issue a supplemental notice and seek additional public comments on certain aspects of the proposed rule. |
