Approved,
through August, 1992. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements
in proposed Section 151.55, however, are not approved. It is
recommended that alternatives to the garbage record book, such as a
certification process, be carefully considered by the Coast Guard.
If the Coast Guard wishes to retain the proposed requirement, more
adequate justification must be provided so as to demonstrate that
the burdens imposed are proportionate to need and that the
requirements will have practical utility. The justification should
also respond to public comment on the proposed Section 151.55.
