Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change (i.e., decrease) in burden is an ADJUSTMENT, due to a decrease in the single-hulled tank vessel population. Single-hulled tank barges are being replaced by more modern double-hulled tank barges. This shift in vessel hull type is due to the mandated single-hull tank vessel phase-out prescribed in the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
