Abstract: Certain vessels cannot comply with the International
Navigation Rules (33 U.S.C. 1601) and Inland Navigation Rules (33

2. Title: Various International Agreement Pollution Prevention
Certificates and Documents, and Equivalency Certificates.

allow for the approval of non-specification portable tanks ensure that
innovation and new designs are not frustrated by the regulation.

United States.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0088.
Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.

Abstract: The information for a voyage plan will provide a
mechanism for assisting vessels towing tank barges to identify those
specific risks, potential equipment failures, or human errors that may
lead to accidents.

5. Title: Sewage and Graywater Discharge Records for Certain Cruise
Vessels Operating on Alaskan Waters.
