What Vessel Incidental Discharge Act 2018 - 33 USC 1322(p) requires

The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act of 2018, codified at 33 USC 1322(p), creates uniform national standards for discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels. Section 1322(p)(2) sets the applicability of the subsection to discharges incidental to normal vessel operation, Section 1322(p)(4) directs the EPA Administrator, in concurrence with the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, to promulgate Federal standards of performance for marine pollution control devices, and Section 1322(p)(5) directs the Secretary to promulgate the implementation, compliance and enforcement regulations. The statute defines a separate small vessel or fishing vessel category as vessels less than 79 feet in length, or any fishing, fish processing or fish tender vessel regardless of length.
