 Criteria for Determining Technologies Meeting NISA Requirements
What is and what is not acceptable cost and practicability may vary from company to company, and NISA logically assumes that the proposing company will evaluate technologies for these parameters prior to proposing them as substitutes.
Accordingly, the remaining concerns of the USCG pursuant to NISA in evaluating technologies are environmental soundness and biological effectiveness, and NISA directly authorizes the Coast Guard to approve the use of substitutes for ballast exchange which are environmentally sound (as defined in the Act), and are as effective or more effective than ballast exchange.
Consistent with NISA, the USCG should make a determination in favor of allowing a technology if, on the whole, the technology as applied to the proposing vessel, will likely be as effective or more effective than ballast exchange (defined by studies currently underway) with respect to a range of taxonomic groupings.
