The notice elaborated on a new process that required ship owners, who intended to transfer a U.S. flagged ship to a foreign registry, to first certify that the vessel does not contain regulated concentrations of PCBs. MARAD took this initiative in an attempt to prevent U.S. ships from being exported in violation of the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), an act that is administered by EPA. EPA has now drafted the guidance document titled, “Draft Technical Guidance for Determining the Presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) at Regulated Concentrations on Vessels (Ships) to be Reflagged”.
