Sec. 1700.2  Effect.

    (a) This part identifies those discharges, other than sewage, 
incidental to the normal operation of Armed Forces vessels that require 
control within the navigable waters of the United States and the waters 
of the contiguous zone, and those discharges that do not require 
control. Discharges requiring control are identified in Sec. 1700.4. 
Discharges not requiring control are identified in Sec. 1700.5. Federal 
standards of performance for each required Marine Pollution Control 
Device are listed in Sec. 1700.14. This part is not applicable beyond 
the contiguous zone.
    (b) This part prohibits States and their political subdivisions from 
adopting or enforcing State or local statutes or regulations controlling 
the discharges from Armed Forces vessels listed in Sec. Sec. 1700.4 and 
1700.5 according to the timing provisions in Sec. 1700.6, except to 
establish a no-discharge zone by State prohibition in accordance with 
Sec. 1700.9, or to apply for a no-discharge zone by EPA prohibition in 
accordance with Sec. 1700.10. This part also provides a mechanism for 
States to petition the Administrator and the Secretary to review a 
determination of whether a discharge requires control, or to review a 
Federal standard of performance for a Marine Pollution Control Device, 
in accordance with Sec. Sec. 1700.11 through 1700.13.
