                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, October 1, 2013), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE

    Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of 
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. 
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date 
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected 
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to 
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult 
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published 
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.

``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY

    The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of 
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a 
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used 
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and 
not accidentally dropped due to a printing or computer error.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as 
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that 
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after 
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please 
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and 
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 
or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities 
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an 
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in 
this volume.

[[Page vii]]

    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.
    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

                            Subpart A_General



Sec. 148.1  Purpose and applicability.

    (a) This part prescribes special handling procedures for certain 
solid materials that present hazards when transported in bulk by vessel.
    (b) Except as noted in paragraph (c) of this section, this part 
applies to all domestic and foreign vessels in the navigable waters of 
the United States that transport bulk solid materials requiring special 
handling.
    (c) This part does not apply to an unmanned barge on a domestic 
voyage carrying a Potentially Dangerous Material (PDM) found in Table 
148.10 of this part. All barges on international voyages must follow the 
requirements for PDM.
    (d) The regulations in this part have preemptive impact over State 
law on the same subject. The Coast Guard has determined, after 
considering the factors developed by the Supreme Court in U.S. v. Locke, 
529 U.S. 89 (2000), that in directing the Secretary to regulate the safe 
transportation of hazardous material and the safety of individuals and 
property on board vessels subject to inspection, as well as the 
provision of loading information, Congress intended to preempt the field 
of safety standards for solid materials requiring special handling when 
transported in bulk on vessels.



Sec. 148.2  Responsibility and compliance.

    Each master of a vessel, person in charge of a barge, owner, 
operator, shipper, charterer, or agent must ensure compliance with this 
part. These persons are also responsible for communicating requirements 
to every person performing any function covered by this part.

    Lower flammability limit or LFL means the lowest concentration of a 
material or gas that will propagate a flame. The LFL is usually 
expressed as a percent by volume of a material or gas in air.
    Master means the officer having command of a vessel. The functions 
assigned to the master in this part may also be performed by a 
representative of the master or by a person in charge of a barge.
    Material safety data sheet or MSDS is as defined in 29 CFR 
1910.1200.
    Person in charge of a barge means an individual designated by the 
owner or operator of a barge to have charge of the barge.
    Potentially Dangerous Material or PDM means a material that does not 
fall into a particular hazard class but can present a danger when 
carried in bulk aboard a vessel. The dangers often result from the 
material's tendency to self-heat or cause oxygen depletion. Materials 
that present a potential danger due solely to their tendency to shift in 
the cargo hold are not PDMs. For international shipments prepared in 
accordance with the IMSBC Code (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 
148.8), equivalent terminology to PDM is Material Hazardous only in Bulk 
(MHB).
    Readily combustible material means a material that may not be a 
hazardous material but that can easily ignite and support combustion. 
Examples are wood, straw, vegetable fibers, and products made from these 
materials, and coal lubricants and oils. The term does not include 
packaging material or dunnage.
    Reportable quantity or RQ means the quantity of a hazardous 
substance spilled or released that requires a report to the National 
Response Center. The specific RQs for each hazardous substance are 
available in 49 CFR 172.101, Appendix A.
    Responsible person means a knowledgeable person who the master of a 
vessel or owner or operator of a barge makes responsible for all 
decisions relating to his or her specific task.
    Seed cake means the residue remaining after vegetable oil has been 
extracted by a solvent or mechanical process from oil-bearing seeds, 
such as coconuts, cotton seed, peanuts, and linseed.
    Shipper means any person by whom, or in whose name, or on whose 
behalf, a contract of carriage of goods by sea has been concluded with a 
carrier; or any person by whom or in whose name, or on whose behalf, the 
goods are actually delivered to the carrier in relation to the contract 
of carriage by sea.
    Shipping paper means a shipping order, bill of lading, manifest, or 
other shipping document serving a similar purpose.
    Stowage factor means the volume in cubic meters of 1,000 kilograms 
(0.984 long tons) of a bulk solid material.
    Threshold limit value or TLV means the time-weighted average 
concentration of a material that the average worker can be exposed to 
over a normal eight-hour working day, day after day, without adverse 
effect. This is a trademark term of the American Conference of 
Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH).
    Transported includes the various operations associated with cargo 
transportation, such as loading, off-loading, handling, stowing, 
carrying, and conveying.
    Trimming means any leveling of a cargo within a cargo hold or 
compartment, either partial or total.
    Tripartite agreement means an agreement between the national 
administrations of the port of loading, the port of

discharge, and the flag state of the vessel, on the conditions of 
carriage of a cargo.
    Ventilation means exchange of air from outside to inside a cargo 
space and includes the following types:
    (1) Continuous ventilation means ventilation that is operating at 
all times. Continuous ventilation may be either natural or mechanical;
    (2) Mechanical ventilation means power-generated ventilation;
    (3) Natural ventilation means ventilation that is not power-
generated; and

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1......................................  Contact with water may cause heating.
2......................................  Contact with water may cause evolution of flammable gases, which may
                                          form explosive mixtures with air.
3......................................  Contact with water may cause evolution of toxic gases.
4......................................  If involved in a fire, will greatly intensify the burning of
                                          combustible materials.
5......................................  A major fire aboard a vessel carrying this material may involve a risk
                                          of explosion in the event of contamination (e.g., by a fuel oil) or

                                          in some people.
11.....................................  May be susceptible to spontaneous heating and ignition.
12.....................................  Liable to cause oxygen depletion in the cargo space.
13.....................................  Liable to emit methane gas which can form explosive mixtures with air.
14.....................................  Dust forms explosive mixtures with air.
15.....................................  May present substantial danger to the public health or welfare or the
                                          environment when released into the environment. Skin contact and dust
                                          inhalation should be avoided.
16.....................................  Combustible. Burns with dense black smoke. Dust may cause skin and eye
                                          irritation.
17.....................................  Radiation hazard from dust inhalation and contact with mucous
                                          membranes.
18.....................................  Susceptible to fire from sparks and open flames.

23.....................................  Hazardous substance when consisting of pieces having a diameter less
                                          than 100 micrometers (0.004 in.); see code 15 of this table and Sec.
                                          148.270.
24.....................................  Cargo subject to liquefaction.
25.....................................  Subject to liquefaction if average particle size of cargo is less than
                                          10 mm (.394 in.).
26.....................................  This entry is considered a Marine Pollutant in accordance with 49 CFR
                                          172.101 Appendix B.

                    Subpart D_Stowage and Segregation



Sec. 148.120  Stowage and segregation requirements.

    (a) Each material listed in Table 148.10 of this part must be 
segregated from incompatible materials in accordance with--
    (1) The requirements of Tables 148.120A and 148.120B of this section 
that pertain to the primary or subsidiary hazard class to which the 
materials belong. Whenever a subsidiary hazard may exist, the most 
stringent segregation requirement applies; and
    (2) Any specific requirements in Subpart D of this part.
    (b) Materials that are required to be separated during stowage must 
not be handled at the same time. Any residue from a material must be 
removed before a material required to be separated from it is loaded.
    (c) Definitions and application of segregation terms:
    (1) ``Separated from'' means located in different cargo compartments 
or holds when stowed under deck. If the intervening deck is resistant to 
fire and liquid, a vertical separation, i.e., in different cargo 
compartments, is acceptable as equivalent to this segregation.
    (2) ``Separated by a complete cargo compartment or hold from'' means 
either a vertical or horizontal separation, for example, by a complete 
cargo compartment or hold. If the intervening decks are not resistant to 
fire and liquid, only horizontal separation is acceptable.
    (3) ``Separated longitudinally by an intervening complete cargo 
compartment or hold from'' means that vertical separation alone does not 
meet this requirement.

standard approved by the administration of the vessel's flag state.
    (b) Before coal is loaded in a cargo hold, the bilges must be as 
clean and dry as practical. The hold must also be free of any readily 
combustible material, including the residue of previous cargoes if other 
than coal.
    (c) The master of each vessel carrying coal must ensure that--
    (1) All openings to the cargo hold, except for unloading gates on 
self-unloading vessels, are sealed before loading

[[Page 35]]

the coal and, unless the coal is as described in paragraph (f) of this 
section, the hatches must also be sealed after loading;
    (2) As far as practical, gases emitted by the coal do not accumulate 
in enclosed working spaces such as storerooms, shops, or passageways, 
and tunnel spaces on self-unloading vessels, and that such spaces are 
adequately ventilated;
    (3) The vessel has adequate ventilation as required by paragraph (f) 
of this section; and
    (4) If the temperature of the coal is to be monitored under 
paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section, the vessel has instruments that are 
capable of measuring the temperature of the cargo in the range 0[deg]-
100 [deg]C (32 [deg]-212 [deg]F) without entry into the cargo hold.
    (d) A cargo hold containing coal must not be ventilated unless the 
conditions of paragraph (f) of this section are met, or unless methane 
is detected under paragraph (h) of this section.
    (e) If coal waiting to be loaded has shown a tendency to self-heat, 
has been handled so that it may likely self-heat, or has been observed 
to be heating, the master is responsible for monitoring the temperature 
of the coal at several intervals during these times:
    (1) Before loading; and
    (2) During the voyage, by--
    (i) Measuring the temperature of the coal;
    (ii) Measuring the emission of carbon monoxide; or
    (iii) Both.
    (f) If coal waiting to be loaded has a potential to emit dangerous 
amounts of methane, for example it is freshly mined, or has a history of 
emitting dangerous amounts of methane, then:
    (1) Surface ventilation, either natural or from fixed or portable 
nonsparking fans, must be provided; and
    (2) The atmosphere above the coal must be monitored for the presence 
of methane as prescribed in paragraph (h) of this section. The results 
of this monitoring must be recorded at least twice in every 24-hour 
period, unless the conditions of paragraph (m) of this section are met.
    (g) Electrical equipment and cables in a hold containing a coal 
described in paragraph (f) of this section must be either suitable for 
use in an explosive gas atmosphere or de-energized at a point outside 
the hold. Electrical equipment and cables necessary for continuous safe 
operations, such as lighting fixtures, must be suitable for use in an 
explosive gas atmosphere. The master of the vessel must ensure that the 
affected equipment and cables remain de-energized as long as this coal 
remains in the hold.
    (h) For all coal loaded on a vessel, other than an unmanned barge, 
the atmosphere above the coal must be routinely tested for the presence 
of methane, carbon monoxide, and oxygen, following the procedures in the 
Appendices to the schedules for Coal and Brown Coal Briquettes as 
contained in the IMSBC Code (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 
148.8). This testing must be performed in such a way that the cargo 
hatches are not opened and entry into the hold is not necessary.
    (i) When carrying a coal described in paragraph (e) of this section, 
the atmosphere above the coal must be monitored for the presence of 
carbon monoxide as prescribed in paragraph (h) of this section. The 
results of this monitoring must be recorded at least twice in every 24-
hour period, unless the conditions of paragraph (m) of this section are 
met. If the level of carbon monoxide is increasing rapidly or reaches 20 
percent of the lower flammability limit (LFL), the frequency of 
monitoring must be increased.
    (j) When a cargo of coal has a potential to self-heat or has been 
observed to be heating, the hatches should be closed and sealed and all 
surface ventilation halted except as necessary to remove any methane 
that may have accumulated.
    (k) If the level of carbon monoxide monitored under paragraph (i) of 
this section continues to increase rapidly or the temperature of coal 
carried on board a vessel exceeds 55 [deg]C (131 [deg]F) and is 
increasing rapidly, the master must notify the nearest Coast Guard 
Captain of the Port of--
    (1) The name, nationality, and position of the vessel;
    (2) The most recent temperature, if measured, and levels of carbon 
monoxide and methane;

[[Page 36]]

    (3) The port where the coal was loaded and the destination of the 
coal;
    (4) The last port of call of the vessel and its next port of call; 
and
    (5) What action has been taken.
    (l) If the level of methane as monitored under paragraph (h) of this 
section reaches 20 percent of the LFL or is increasing rapidly, 
ventilation of the cargo hold, under paragraph (f) of this section, must 
be initiated. If this ventilation is provided by opening the cargo 
hatches, care must be taken to avoid generating sparks.
    (m) The frequency of monitoring required by paragraph (f) of this 
section may be reduced at the discretion of the master provided that--
    (1) The level of gas measured is less than 20 percent of the LFL;
    (2) The level of gas measured has remained steady or decreased over 
three consecutive readings, or has increased by less than 5 percent over 
four consecutive readings spanning at least 48 hours; and
    (3) Monitoring continues at intervals sufficient to determine that 
the level of gas remains within the parameters of paragraphs (m)(1) and 
(m)(2) of this section.

          Sec. Appendix II to Part 150--Explanation of Figure 1

    Definition of a hazardous reaction-- As a first approximation, a 
mixture of two cargoes is considered hazardous when, under specified 
condition, the temperature rise of the mixture exceeds 25 [deg]C or a 
gas is evolved. It is possible for the reaction of two cargoes to 
produce a product that is significantly more flammable or toxic than the 
original cargoes even though the reaction is non-hazardous from 
temperature or pressure considerations, although no examples of such a 
reaction are known at this time.
    Chart format-- There are different degrees of reactivity among the 
various cargoes. Many of them are relatively non-reactive: For example, 
aromatic hydrocarbons or paraffins. Others will form hazardous 
combinations with many groups: For example, the inorganic acids.
    The cargo groups in the compatibility chart are separated into two 
categories: 1 through 22 are ``Reactive Groups'' and 30 through 43 are 
``Cargo Groups''. Left unassigned and available for future expansion are 
groups 23 through 29 and those past 43. Reactive Groups contain products 
which are chemically the most reactive; dangerous combinations may 
result between members of different Reactive Groups and between members 
of Reactive Groups and Cargo Groups. Products assigned to Cargo Groups, 
however, are much less reactive; dangerous combinations involving these 
can be formed only with members of certain Reactive Groups. Cargo Groups 
do not react hazardously with one another.
    Using the Compatibility Chart-- The following procedure explains how 
the compatibility chart should be used to find compatibility 
information:
    (1) Determine the group numbers of the two cargoes by referring to 
the alphabetical listing of cargoes and the corresponding groups (Table 
I). Many cargoes are listed under their parent names; unless otherwise 
indicated, isomers or mixtures of isomers of a particular cargo are 
assigned to the same group. For example, to find the group number for 
Isobutyl Alcohol, look under the parent name Butyl Alcohol. Similarly, 
the group number for para-Xylene is found under the entry Xylene. If a 
cargo cannot be found in this listing, contact the Coast Guard for a 
group determination (see Sec. 150.140).
    (2) If both group numbers are between 30 and 43 inclusive, the 
products are compatible and the chart need not be used.
    (3) If both group numbers do not fall between 30 and 43 inclusive, 
locate one of the numbers on the left of the chart (Cargo Groups) and 
the other across the top (Reactive Groups). (Note that if a group number 
is between 30 and 43, it can only be found on the left side of the 
chart.) The box formed by the intersection of the column and row 
containing the two numbers will contain one of the following:
    (a) Blank--The two cargoes are compatible.
    (b) ``X''--The two cargoes are not compatible.

(Note that reactivity may vary among the group members. Refer to Table I 
or Table II to find whether the products in question are referenced by a 
footnote which indicates that exceptions exist and are listed in 
Appendix I. Unless the combination is specifically mentioned in Appendix 
I, it is compatible.)

   Sec. Appendix III to Part 150--Testing Procedures for Determining 
                         Exceptions to the Chart

    experimental procedure for evaluating binary chemical reactivity

    General safety precautions--Chemical reactivity tests have, by their 
nature, serious potential for injuring the experimenter or destroying 
equipment. The experimenter should 1) have knowledge of the magnitude of 
the reactivity to be expected, 2) use adequate facilities and protective 
equipment to prevent injury from splatter of materials or release of 
fumes, and 3) start on a small scale so that unexpected reactions can be 
safely contained. All tests should be performed in a well-ventilated 
laboratory hood provided with shields.
    Testing chemicals other than liquids--The procedure outlined below 
was developed for chemicals which are liquids at ambient temperatures. 
If one or both chemicals are normally shipped at elevated temperatures, 
the same procedure may be followed except the chemicals are tested at 
their respective shipping temperatures and the oil bath in Step 3

[[Page 123]]

is maintained at a level 25 [deg]C above the higher temperature. This 
information is then indicated on the data sheet. If one of the chemicals 
is a gas at ambient temperatures, consult the Coast Guard for additional 
instructions before proceeding with the compatibility test.

                                 Step 1

    Objective--To determine if the test chemicals react violently and 
present a safety hazard in further tests.
    Procedure--Place 0.5ml of one (A) of the test chemicals in a 
25x150mm test tube. Clamp the test tube to a stand behind a safety 
shield (in a hood). Carefully add from a dropper 0.5ml of the other 
substance (B). Shake to induce mixing. If no immediate reaction occurs, 
retain the mixture for at least 10 minutes to check for a delayed 
reaction.
    Results--If a violent reaction occurs, such as sputtering, boiling 
of reactants or release of fumes, record the results on the Data Sheet 
(appendix IV) and do not proceed to Step 2. If no reaction or a minor 
reaction occurs, proceed to Step 2.

                                 Step 2

    Objective--To determine the heat of reaction of two chemicals on 
mixing under specified conditions.
    Procedure--These separate mixes of the proposed binary combination 
will be tested. These are 2 ml : 18 ml, 10 ml : 10 ml, and 18 ml : 2 ml, 
respectively, to result in a final mixture of about 20 ml in each case.
    A reference-junctioned thermocouple is prepared by inserting two 
lengths of 20 gauge or finer iron-constantan or chromelalumel duplex 
thermocouple wire into glass capilary sheaths. The common wire of each 
probe is joined, while the other wire of each is connected to a strip-
chart recorder. The thermocouple probe which produces a negative pen 
deflection upon warming is the reference junction and is placed in a 
test tube of water at ambient laboratory temperature. The other probe is 
placed near the bottom of a Dewar flask of about 300ml capacity, such 
that the thermocouple will be below the surface of the test mixture. The 
Dewar flask is equipped with a magnetic stirrer having a stirring bar 
coated with an inert material such as a flourinated hydrocarbon.
    Start the temperature recorder and stirrer. Deliver the test 
chemicals to the Dewar Flask simultaneously from separate graduated 
syringes. If an exothermic reaction occurs, continue the test until the 
maximum temperature is reached and begins to subside. If no apparent 
reaction occurs, continue the test for at least 30 minutes to check for 
a delayed reaction. Stop agitation and observe the mixture at five-
minute intervals to determine if the mixture is miscible, if gases are 
evolved, or if other visible changes occur. In the interest of safety, a 
mirror can be used for these observations. Repeat the above test for the 
other mixture combinations.
    Results--Record the results in the appropriate places on the Data 
Sheet. If no reaction occurs or if the temperature rise is less than 25 
[deg]C, proceed to Step 3. If the observed temperature rise exceeds 25 
[deg]C or gases are evolved, do not proceed to Step 3.

                                 Step 3

    Objective--To determine if exothermic reactions occur at 
temperatures up to 50 [deg]C.
    Procedure--If a non-hazardous reaction occurred in Step 2, the ratio 
of chemicals which resulted in the greatest temperature rise will be 
tested. Fresh chemicals will be used with a total volume for this test 
of about 10ml (a ratio of 1ml:9ml, 5ml:5ml, or 9ml:1ml). If no reaction 
was observed in Step 2, use a ratio of 5ml:5ml. Using the thermocouple 
prepared for Step 2, insert the reference probe into a 25x150mm test 
tube containing 10ml of water. Place the other probe into an empty test 
tube. Start the temperature recorder and add the two chemicals of the 
combination, one at a time, to the empty test tube. Lower the two test 
tubes into an oil bath maintained at 50 2 [deg]C. 
Hold the samples in the oil bath until the maximum temperature 
differential is recorded, and in all cases at least 15 minutes. Observe 
the test mixture to determine if gases are evolved or if other visible 
changes occur. Follow prescribed safety precautions.
    Results--Record the maximum differential temperature measured, the 
time required to reach this temperature, and any other observations in 
the proper space on the Data Sheet.
    Send a copy of the Data Sheet for each binary chemical mixture 
tested to: Commandant (CG-ENG-5), Attn: Hazardous Materials Division, 
U.S. Coast Guard Stop 7509, 2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE.,

           Subpart 151.10_Barge Hull Construction Requirements



Sec. 151.10-1  Barge hull classifications.

    (a) Each barge constructed or converted in conformance with this 
subpart shall be assigned a hull type number.
    (1) Effective dates for certain requirements:
    (i) Barges constructed or converted between July 1, 1964, and June 
1, 1970, in accordance with the construction requirements of Sec. Sec. 
32.63 and 98.03 of this chapter are considered to comply with the basic 
provisions of this subpart and will retain the hull type classification 
for the service for which they were originally approved. Changes in 
product endorsement will not be considered a change in service, except 
when a change to a product of higher specific gravity necessitates a 
reevaluation of the intact and damage stability requirements in subpart 
E of part 172 of this chapter.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (b) For this purpose the barge hull types shall be defined as 
follows:
    (1) Type I barge hull. Barge hulls classed as Type I are those 
designed to carry products which require the maximum preventive measures 
to preclude the uncontrolled release of the cargo. These barges are 
required to meet:
    (i) Standards of intact stability and a modified two compartment 
standard of subdivision and damage stability, as specified in subpart E 
of part 172 of this chapter; and
    (ii) Hull structural requirements, including an assumed grounding 
condition.
    (2) Type I-S (special) barge hulls. Type I-S (special) barge hulls 
are those constructed or converted for the carriage of chlorine in bulk 
prior to July 1, 1964, and modified to higher stability standards prior 
to July 1, 1968, but not meeting the requirements for full Type I 
classification.
    (3) Type II barge hull. Barge hulls classed as Type II are those 
designed to carry products which require significant preventive measures 
to preclude the uncontrolled release of the cargo. These barges are 
required to meet:
    (i) Standards of intact stability and a modified one compartment 
standard of subdivision and damage stability, as specified in subpart E 
of part 172 of this chapter; and
    (ii) Hull structural requirements, including an assumed grounding 
condition.
    (4) Type III barge hull. Barge hulls classed as Type III are those 
designed to carry products of sufficient hazard to require a moderate 
degree of control. These barges are required to meet:
    (i) Standards of intact stability as specified in subpart E of part 
172 of this chapter; and
    (ii) Hull structural requirements.

51008, Nov. 4, 1983; CGD 88-100, 54 FR 40040, Sept. 29, 1989]



Sec. 151.10-5  Subdivision and stability.

    Each barge must meet the applicable requirements in subchapter S of 
this chapter.

[CGD 70-023, 48 FR 51009, Nov. 4, 1983]



Sec. 151.10-15  Certificate endorsement.

    (a)-(b) [Reserved]
    (c) Certificate endorsement. The following information shall be 
submitted, and upon approval of calculations shall form part of the 
endorsement on the Certificate of Inspection:
    (1) Limiting draft for each hull type service for which approval is 
requested.
    (2) Maximum density (lb./gal.) and maximum cargo weight (tons) for 
each tank for which approval is requested. Their weights will normally 
reflect uniform loading except that for trim purposes the individual 
tank cargo weight may exceed the uniform loading tank cargo weight, 
corresponding to the barge fresh water deadweight at the limiting draft, 
by 5 percent. Where a greater degree of nonuniform loading is desired, 
longitudinal strength calculations shall be submitted.

51009, Nov. 4, 1983]



Sec. 151.10-20  Hull construction.

    (a) Construction features. (1) Each barge hull shall be constructed 
with a suitable bow form (length, shape, and height of headlog) to 
protect against diving at the maximum speed at which the barge is 
designed to be towed. In

[[Page 154]]

any integrated tow, only the lead barge need comply with this 
requirement.
    (2) All ``open hopper'' type barges shall be provided with coamings 
around the hopper space and a 36-inch minimum height plowshare 
breakwater on the forward rake. The plowshare breakwater may be omitted, 
if it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Commandant that 
sufficient protection is achieved without it. Coamings shall have a 
minimum height of 36 inches forward and may be graduated to a minimum 
height of 24 inches at midlength and 18 inches thereafter. All hopper 
barges constructed with a weathertight rain shield over the hopper space 
are exempt from these requirements, except that they shall be provided 
with an 18-inch minimum coaming all around the hopper.
    (3) All ``open hopper'' type barges modified for the carriage of 
chlorine in bulk shall be provided with 36-inch minimum height coamings 
around the hopper.
    (4) All barges in ocean or coastwise service shall be provided with 
a structural deck and hatches in accordance with the applicable 
provisions of subchapter E of this chapter and the scantling 
requirements of the American Bureau of Shipping.
    (b) Hull structural requirements. (1) All Types I, II, and III 
barges shall comply with the basic structural requirements of the 
American Bureau of Shipping for barges of the ordinary types and the 
applicable supplementary requirements of this section.
    (2) Types I and II barges in inland service: A grounding condition 
shall be assumed where the forward rake bulkhead rests upon a pinnacle 
at the water surface. The maximum hull and tank bending moment and tank 
saddle reactions (if applicable) shall be determined. The hull bending 
stress shall not exceed the applicable limits of paragraphs (b)(2) (i), 
(ii), or (iii) of this section. The maximum tank bending moment and 
saddle reaction shall be used in the tank design calculations required 
by Sec. 151.15-2(b)(3).
    (i) Independent tanks supported by only two saddles do not 
contribute to the strength and stiffness of the barge hull. In such 
case, the hull stress shall not exceed either 50 percent of the minimum 
ultimate tensile strength of the material or 70 percent of the yield 
strength when specified, whichever is greater.
    (ii) Independent tanks supported by three or more saddles contribute 
to the strength and stiffness of the hull. In such case, the hull stress 
shall not exceed the percentage stress values prescribed in Sec. 
151.10-20(b)(2)(i), multiplied by the quantity

(1.5-SWT/UTS),

where SWT is the stress calculated without including the effect of the 
          tanks, and UTS is the minimum ultimate tensile strength of the 
          material. The value SWT, however, shall in no case be more 
          than 75 percent of UTS.

    (iii) Integral tanks may be considered as contributing to the 
strength and stiffness of the barge hull. The hull stresses for integral 
tank barges shall not exceed the percentage stress values prescribed in 
paragraph (b)(2)(i), of this section.
    (3) Types I and II barges in ocean service:
    (i) Independent tank barges with tanks supported by three or more 
saddles shall be subjected to a 0.6L\0.6\ trochoidal wave hogsag 
analysis to determine the maximum hull and tank bending moments and tank 
saddle reactions.
    (ii) All independent tank barges, regardless of the number of saddle 
supports shall be subject to a still water bending analysis to determine 
the hull bending moment. For those barges with independent tanks 
supported by three or more saddles, this analysis shall consider tank-
hull interaction so as to determine tank bending moments and saddle 
reactions.
    (iii) The still water tank bending moments and saddle reactions 
shall be superimposed upon those obtained by simultaneous application of 
the following dynamic loadings:
    (a) Rolling 30[deg] each side (120[deg] full cycle) in 10 seconds.
    (b) Pitching 6[deg] half amplitude (24[deg] full cycle) in 7 
seconds.
    (c) Heaving L/80 half amplitude (L/20 full cycle) in 8 seconds.
    (iv) The hull structure and saddle support system shall be analyzed, 
using the maximum hull bending moments and saddle reactions obtained 
from the

[[Page 155]]

foregoing. Bending stress shall not exceed 60 percent of the yield 
strength or 42 percent of the minimum tensile strength of the material, 
whichever is less. Critical buckling strength shall be at least 75 
percent greater than calculated buckling stresses. The maximum tank 
bending moments and saddle reactions shall be used in the tank design 
calculations required by Sec. 151.15-3(b)(8).

Sec. 151.13-5  Cargo segregation--tanks.

    (a) The configurations listed in this paragraph refer to the 
separation of the cargo from its surroundings and list the various 
degrees of segregation required. Paragraphs and (2) of this section 
explain the symbols used in lines 1 and 2, in order, under the tank 
segregation column of Table 151.05.
    (1) Segregation of cargo from surrounding waters (Line 1 of Table 
151.05).

i = Skin of vessel (single skin) only required. Cargo tank wall can be 
vessel's hull.
ii = Double skin required. Cargo tank wall cannot be vessel's hull.
NA = Nonapplicable for this case. Independent tanks already have such 
segregation built in through design.

    (2) Segregation of cargo space from machinery spaces and other 
spaces which have or could have a source of ignition (Line 2 of Table 
151.05).

i = Single bulkhead only required. Tank wall can be sole separating 
medium.
ii = Double bulkhead, required. Cofferdam, empty tank, pumproom, tank 
with Grade E Liquid (if compatible with cargo) is satisfactory.

    (b) [Reserved]
    (c) If a cofferdam is required for segregation purposes and a 
secondary barrier is required for low temperature protection by Sec. 
151.15-3(d)(4), the void space between the primary and secondary 
barriers shall not be acceptable in lieu of the required cofferdam.

                          Subpart 151.15_Tanks



Sec. 151.15-1  Tank types.

    This section lists the definitions of the various tank types 
required for cargo containment by Table 151.05.
    (a) Integral. A cargo containment envelope which forms a part of the 
vessel's hull in which it is built, and may be stressed in the same 
manner and by the same loads which stress the contiguous hull structure. 
An integral tank is essential to the structural completeness of its 
vessel's hull.
    (b) Independent. A cargo containment envelope which is not a 
contiguous part of the hull structure. An independent tank is built and 
installed so as to eliminate, wherever possible (or, in any event, to 
minimize) its stressing as a result of stressing or motion of the 
adjacent hull structure. In general, therefore, motion of parts of the 
tank relative to the adjacent hull structure is possible. An independent 
tank is not essential to the structural completeness of its carrying 
vessel's hull.
    (c) Gravity. Tanks having a design pressure (as described in Part 54 
of this chapter) not greater than 10 pounds per square inch gauge and of 
prismatic shape or other geometry where stress analysis is neither 
readily nor completely determinate. (Integral tanks are of the gravity 
type.)
    (d) Pressure. Independent tanks whose design pressure (as described 
in Part 54 of this chapter) is above 10 pounds per square inch gauge and 
fabricated in accordance with part 54, of this chapter. Independent 
gravity tanks which are of normal pressure vessel configuration (i.e., 
bodies of revolution, in which the stresses are readily determinate) 
shall be classed as pressure vessel type tanks even though their maximum 
allowable working pressure is less than 10 pounds per square inch gauge. 
Pressure vessel tanks shall be of Classes I, I-L, II, II-L, or III, as 
defined in subchapter F of this chapter.



Sec. 151.15-3  Construction.

    This section lists the requirements for construction of the types of 
cargo tanks defined in Sec. 151.15-1.
    (a) Gravity type tanks. Gravity type cargo tanks vented at a 
pressure of 4 pounds per square inch gauge or less shall be constructed 
and tested as required by standards established by the American Bureau 
of Shipping or other recognized classification society. Gravity type 
tanks vented at a pressure exceeding 4 but not exceeding 10 pounds per 
square inch gauge will be given special consideration by the Commandant.
    (b) Pressure vessel type tanks. Pressure vessel type tanks shall be 
designed and tested in accordance with the requirements of Part 54 of 
this chapter.

[[Page 157]]

    (1) Uninsulated cargo tanks, where the cargo is transported, at or 
near ambient temperatures, shall be designed for a pressure not less 
than the vapor pressure of the cargo at 115 [deg]F. The design shall 
also be based on the minimum internal pressure (maximum vacuum), plus 
the maximum external static head to which the tank may be subjected.
    (2) When cargo tanks, in which the cargo is transported at or near 
ambient temperature, are insulated with an insulation material of a 
thickness to provide a thermal conductance of not more than 0.075 B.t.u. 
per square foot per degree Fahrenheit differential in temperature per 
hour, the tanks shall be designed for a pressure of not less than the 
vapor pressure of the cargo at 105 [deg]F. The insulation shall also 
meet the requirements of paragraph (f) of this section.
    (3) Cargo tanks in which the temperature is maintained below the 
normal atmospheric temperature by refrigeration or other acceptable 
means shall be designed for a pressure of not less than 110 percent of 
the vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature of the liquid at 
which the system is maintained, or the pressure corresponding to the 
greatest dynamic and static loads expected to be encountered in service. 
For mechanically stressed relieved cargo tanks, additional factors 
relating design pressure and maximum allowable pressure shall be as 
specified by the Commandant. The material of the tank shall meet the 
material requirements specified in part 54 of this chapter for the 
service temperature, and this temperature shall be permanently marked on 
the tank as prescribed in Sec. 54.10-20 of this chapter.
    (4) The maximum allowable temperature of the cargo is defined as the 
boiling temperature of the liquid at a pressure equal to the setting of 
the relief valve.
    (5) The service temperature is the minimum temperature of a product 
at which it may be contained, loaded and/or transported. However, the 
service temperature shall in no case be taken higher than given by the 
following formula.

tz=tw-0.25(tw-tB)

where:
tz=Service temperature.
tw=Boiling temperature of gas at normal working pressure of 
          container but not higher than +32 [deg]F.
tB=Boiling temperature of gas at atmospheric pressure.


Under normal circumstances, only temperatures due to refrigerated 
service will be considered in determining the service temperature. 
Refrigerated service for purposes of this paragraph is defined as 
service where the temperature is controlled in the process rather than 
being caused by atmospheric conditions.
    (6) Heat transmission studies, where required, shall assume the 
minimum ambient temperatures of 0 [deg]F still air and 32 [deg]F still 
water, and maximum ambient temperatures of 115 [deg]F still air and 90 
[deg]F still water.
    (7) Where applicable, the design of the cargo tanks shall 
investigate the thermal stresses induced in the tanks at the service 
temperature.
    (8) Calculations showing the stress level in the tanks under dynamic 
loading conditions for ocean service barges (see Sec. 151.10-20(b)(4)) 
and grounding conditions for inland service barges (see Sec. 151.10-20-
(b)(2)) shall be submitted to the Commandant for approval. These 
calculations shall take into account the local stresses due to the 
interaction between the barge hull and the tanks.
    (c) High density cargo. Cargoes with a specific gravity greater than 
that for which the scantlings of the tank are designed may be carried 
provided that:
    (1) The maximum cargo weight (tons) in a specific tank does not 
exceed the maximum cargo weight (tons) endorsed on the certificate of 
inspection.
    (2) The scantlings of the tank are sufficient to prevent rupture 
under a full head of the higher density cargo. Scantlings meeting 
ordinary bulkhead requirements for the full head will satisfy this 
requirement.
    (d) Arrangements--(1) Collision protection. (i) Tanks containing 
cargoes which are required to be carried in Type I hulls by Table 151.05 
shall be located a minimum of 4 feet inboard from the side shell and box 
end of the vessel. Tanks containing cargoes which are required to be 
carried in Type II

[[Page 158]]

hulls by Table 151.05 shall be located a minimum of 3 feet inboard from 
the side shell and box end of the vessel.
    (ii) All independent cargo tanks installed on Type I or Type II 
barge hulls shall be protected with suitable collision chocks or 
collision straps. A longitudinal collision load of one and one half 
times the combined weight of the tank and the cargo shall be assumed. 
All other independent cargo tanks shall be provided with suitable 
collision chocks or collision straps assuming a longitudinal collision 
load equal to the combined weight of the tank and the cargo. The design 
bearing stress shall not exceed 2 times the yield strength or 1.5 times 
the minimum ultimate strength, whichever is less.
    (iii) Tanks containing cargoes, which are required to be carried in 
Type I or Type II hulls by Table 151.05, shall be located a minimum of 
25 feet from the head log at the bow. Box barges and trail barges need 
not comply with this requirement.
    (2) Inspection clearances. The distance between tanks or between a 
tank and the vessel's structure shall be such as to provide adequate 
access for inspection and maintenance of all tank surfaces and hull 
structure; but shall not normally be less than 15 inches except in way 
of web frames or similar major structural members where the minimum 
clearance shall be equal to the flange or faceplate width.
    (3) Access openings. Each tank shall be provided with at least a 
15x18 diameter manhole, fitted with a cover 
located above the maximum liquid level as close as possible to the top 
of the tank. Where access trunks are fitted to tanks, the diameter of 
the trunks shall be at least 30 inches.
    (4) Low temperature protection. (i) When low temperature cargoes are 
to be carried in gravity type tanks at a temperature lower than that for 
which the hull steel is adequate, a secondary barrier designed to 
contain leaked cargo temporarily shall be provided. The design of the 
cargo containment system shall be such that under normal service 
conditions, or upon failure of the primary tank, the hull structure 
shall not be cooled down to a temperature which is unsafe for the 
materials involved. The secondary barrier and structural components of 
the hull which may be exposed to low temperatures shall meet the 
material requirements (i.e., chemistry and physical properties) 
specified in part 54 of this chapter for the service temperature 
involved. Heat transmission studies and tests may be required to 
demonstrate that the structural material temperatures in the hull are 
acceptable.
    (ii) The design shall take into consideration the thermal stresses 
induced in the cargo tank at the service temperature during loading.
    (iii) Where necessary, devices for spray loading or other methods of 
precooling or cooling during loading shall be included in the design.
    (iv) Pressure-vessel type tanks shall be radiographed in accordance 
with the requirements of part 54 of this chapter. For gravity type 
tanks, all weld intersections or crossings in joints of primary tank 
shells shall be radiographed for a distance of 10 thicknesses from the 
intersection. All other welding in the primary tank and in the secondary 
barrier, shall be spot radiographed in accordance with the requirements 
specified in part 54 of this chapter for Class II-L pressure vessels.
    (v) For nonpressure vessel type containment systems, access shall be 
arranged to permit inspection one side each of the primary tank and 
secondary barrier, under normal shipyard conditions. Containment systems 
which, because of their peculiar design, cannot be visually inspected to 
this degree, may be specially considered provided an equivalent degree 
of safety is attained.
    (e) Installation of cargo tanks. (1) Cargo tanks shall be supported 
on foundations of steel or other suitable material and securely anchored 
in place to prevent the tanks from shifting when subjected to external 
forces. Each tank shall be supported so as to prevent the concentration 
of excessive loads on the supporting portions of the shell or head.
    (2) Foundations, and stays where required, shall be designed for 
support and constraint of the weight of the full tank, and the dynamic 
loads imposed thereon. Thermal movement shall also be considered.

[[Page 159]]

    (3) Foundations and stays shall be suitable for the temperatures 
they will experience at design conditions.
    (4) Cargo tanks may be installed ``on deck,'' ``under deck,'' or 
with the tanks protruding through the deck. All tanks shall be installed 
with the manhole openings located in the open above the weather deck. 
Provided an equivalent degree of safety is attained, the Commandant may 
approve cargo tanks installed with manhole openings located below the 
weather deck. Where a portion of the tank extends above the weather 
deck, provision shall be made to maintain the weathertightness of the 
deck, except that the weathertightness of the upper deck need not be 
maintained on:
    (i) Vessels operating on restricted routes which are sufficiently 
protected; or,
    (ii) Open hopper type barges of acceptable design.
    (5) No welding shall be performed on tanks which require and have 
been stress relieved unless authorized by the Commandant.
    (f) Materials. (1) Materials used in the construction of cargo tanks 
shall be suitable for the intended application and shall be in 
accordance with the applicable requirements of part 54 of this chapter. 
For cargoes carried at low temperatures, the tank supports and 
foundations, and portions of the hull which may be exposed to low 
temperature, shall also meet the applicable requirements of that part.
    (2) When required, cargo tanks shall be lined with rubber or other 
material acceptable to the Commandant. The interior surfaces of the 
cargo tanks shall be made smooth, welds chipped or ground smooth, and 
the surfaces thoroughly cleaned before the lining is applied. The lining 
material shall be resistive to attack by the cargo, not less elastic 
than the metal of the tank proper, and nonporous when tested after 
application. It shall be of substantially uniform thickness. The lining 
shall be directly bonded to the tank plating, or attached by other 
satisfactory means acceptable to the Commandant.
    (g) Insulation. (1) Insulation, when provided, shall be compatible 
with the cargo and the tank materials.
    (2) Insulation in a location exposed to possible high temperature or 
source of ignition shall be one of the following:
    (i) Incombustible, complying with the requirements of Subpart 
164.009 of Part 164 of this chapter; or
    (ii) Fire retardant, having a flame spread rating of 50 or less as 
determined by ASTM Specification E 84 (incorporated by reference, see 
Sec. 151.01-2) (Tunnel Test); or,
    (iii) Nonburning or ``self-extinguishing'' as determined by ASTM 
Specification D 4986, ``Horizontal Burning Characteristics of Cellular 
Polymeric Materials'' (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 151.01-2) 
and covered by a steel jacket having a minimum thickness of 18 gauge 
(0.0428 inches) (U.S. Standard Gauge) or an equivalent means of 
protection acceptable to the Commandant.
    (3) Insulation in a location protected against high temperature or 
source of ignition need satisfy no requirement for combustibility.
    (4) Insulation shall be impervious to water vapor, or have a vapor-
proof coating of a fire-retardant material acceptable to the Commandant. 
Unless the vapor barrier is inherently weather resistant, tanks exposed 
to the weather shall be fitted with a removable sheet metal jacket of 
not less than 18 gauge over the vapor-proof coating and flashed around 
all openings so as to be weathertight. Insulation which is not exposed 
to the weather when installed on tanks carrying cargoes above ambient 
temperatures need not be impervious to water vapor nor be covered with a 
vapor-proof coating.
    (5) Insulation shall be adequately protected in areas of possible 
mechanical damage.
    (h) Fire exposure protection. Tanks which are provided with fire 
exposure protection of one of the following categories may be allowed a 
reduction in the size of relief valves.

Sec. 151.15-5  Venting.

    This section contains definitions and requirements for the various 
methods of venting specified in Table 151.05. In addition to the 
requirement that all vents must penetrate into tanks at the top of the 
vapor space, the following methods of venting and the applicable 
restrictions are listed:
    (a) Open venting. A venting system which offers no restriction 
(except pipe losses and flame screen, where used) to the movement of 
liquid or vapor to or from the cargo tank (via the vent) under normal 
operating conditions. The total cross-sectional area of the vents shall 
not be less than the total cross-sectional area of the filling pipe or 
pipes. Ullage openings may be counted as part of the required cross-
sectional area: Provided, That each cargo tank has at least one 
permanent vent. The minimum size of a cargo tank vent shall be not less 
than 2\1/2\ inches. The outlet end of the vent shall terminate in a 
gooseneck bend and shall be located at a reasonable height above the 
weather deck, clear of all obstructions. No shut-off valve or frangible 
disk shall be fitted in the vent lines except that a float check valve 
may be installed so as to exclude the entry of water into the tank 
(i.e., to prevent downflooding). An open venting system may be fitted 
with a flame screen.
    (b) Pressure-vacuum venting. A normally closed venting system fitted 
with a device to automatically limit the pressure or vacuum in the tank 
to design limits. Pressure-vacuum relief valves shall comply with the 
requirements of subpart 162.017 of this chapter. The required capacity 
of the venting system shall be in accordance with part 54 of this 
chapter.
    (c) Safety relief venting. A closed venting system fitted with a 
device to automatically limit the pressure in the tank to below its 
maximum allowable working pressure. The maximum safety relief valve 
setting shall not exceed the maximum allowable working pressure of the 
tank. For cargoes carried at ambient temperatures, the minimum safety 
relief valve setting shall correspond to the saturated vapor pressure of 
the cargo at 105 [deg]F if carried in an insulated tank, or 115 [deg]F 
if carried in an uninsulated tank. For cargoes carried below ambient 
temperature, the safety relief valve setting shall be selected to 
provide a suitable margin between normal operating pressure of the tank 
and the opening pressure of the valve but in no case shall it exceed the 
maximum allowable working pressure of the tank. The safety relief valves 
shall be of a type approved under subparts 162.001 or 162.018 of 
subchapter Q of this chapter. The required capacity of the safety relief 
valves shall be in accordance with the requirements of part 54 of this 
chapter.
    (d) Rupture disks. (1) When required by the nature of the cargo, 
rupture disks may be installed in lieu of or in addition to other 
pressure limiting devices in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 
54.15-13 of this chapter.
    (2) When a pressure-vacuum relief valve or safety relief valve 
normally protected by a rupture disk or breaking pin device is exposed 
to the cargo due to breakage of the disk, the valve shall be reinspected 
before being returned to service.



Sec. 151.15-6  Venting piping.

    (a) The back pressure in the relief valve discharge lines shall be 
taken into account when determining the flow capacity of the relief 
valve to be used. The back pressure in the discharge line shall be 
limited to 10 percent of the valve operating pressure or a compensating-
type valve shall be used. Suitable provision shall be made for draining 
condensate which may accumulate in the vent piping.
    (b) [Reserved]



Sec. 151.15-10  Cargo gauging devices.

    This section contains definitions and requirements for types of 
gauging devices specified in Table 151.05.
    (a) Open gauging. A gauging method which uses an opening in the 
cargo tank and which may expose the gauge

[[Page 161]]

user to the cargo and its vapors. Examples of this type are gauge hatch, 
ullage hole.
    (b) Restricted. A gauging device which penetrates the cargo tank and 
which, in operation, causes or permits the release to the atmosphere of 
small quantities of cargo vapor or liquid. The amount of cargo released 
is controlled by the small diameter of the tank penetration opening and 
by a locally operated valve or similar closure device in that opening. 
When not in use, this type gauging device is closed to maintain the 
complete integrity of cargo containment. Examples of this type are 
rotary tube, fixed tube, slip tube, sounding tube. (See Sec. Sec. 
151.03-49 and 151.15-10(g).)
    (c) Closed. A gauging device which penetrates the cargo tank, but 
which is part of a closed system maintaining the complete integrity of 
cargo containment. This device is designed and installed so as not to 
release cargo liquid or vapor in any amount to the atmosphere. Examples 
of this type are automatic float, continuous tape (magnetic coupled), 
sight glass (protected), electronic probe, magnetic, differential 
pressure cell.
    (d) Isolated or indirect. A gauging method or device which is 
isolated from the tank (no penetration of the tank shell) and which may 
employ an indirect measurement to obtain the desired quantity. Examples 
of this type are weighing of cargo, sonic depth gauge (without 
penetration of tank shell), pipe flow meter.
    (e) All gauging devices and related fixtures which form a part of 
the cargo containment barrier shall be of suitable material and shall be 
designed for the pressure and temperature of the cargo in accordance 
with the requirements of Subchapter F of this chapter.
    (f) Use of restricted gauging devices. (1) When required in Table 
151.05, cargoes carried under pressure shall have restricted gauging 
devices designed so that the maximum bleed valve opening is not larger 
than 0.055;inch; diameter, unless provided with an excess flow valve. 
Sounding tubes are prohibited for use with cargoes having a vapor 
pressure in excess of 14.7 p.s.i.a. at 115 [deg]F, if carried in an 
uninsulated tank, or at 105 [deg]F, if carried in an insulated tank.
    (2) When utilizing a sounding tube, the cargo tank vent system shall 
be designed to prevent the discharge of cargo through the sounding tube 
due to pressure build up in the cargo tank vapor space. (See Sec. 
151.03-43) When cargoes carried at atmospheric pressure are required to 
have a restricted gauging device, open gauges may be provided in 
addition to restricted gauges for this type of cargo. However, open 
gauges may not be used while cargo transfer operations are actually 
being performed.
    (g) Fixed tube gauges are not acceptable as primary means of 
gauging. They may be used as a check on the calibration of other gauging 
devices.
    (h) For pressure-vessel type tanks, each automatic float, continuous 
reading tape or similar type gauge not mounted directly on the tank or 
dome shall be fitted with a shutoff device located as close to the tank 
as practicable. When an automatic float gauging device, which gauges the 
entire height of the tank, is used, a fixed tube gauge set in the range 
of 85 percent to 90 percent of the water capacity of the tank shall be 
provided in addition as a means of checking the accuracy of the 
automatic float gauge, or other alternate means acceptable to the 
Commandant may be used.
    (i) Gauge glasses of the columnar type are prohibited.
    (j) Flat sight glasses may be used in the design of automatic float 
continuous reading tape gauges. However such glasses shall be made of 
high strength material, suitable for the operating temperatures, of not 
less than one-half inch in thickness and adequately protected by a metal 
cover.

the maximum pressure to which the system may be subjected. Piping which 
is not protected by a relief valve, or which can be isolated from its 
relief valve, shall be designed for the greatest of:
    (1) The cargo vapor pressure at 115 [deg]F.
    (2) The maximum allowable working pressure of the cargo tank.
    (3) The pressure of the associated pump or compressor relief valve.

and collision protection clearances (where required) between the piping 
and the skin. Cargo piping which is external to tanks, and is installed 
below the weather deck shall be joined by welding, except for flanged 
connections to shutoff valves and expansion joints.
    (h) Piping shall enter independent cargo tanks above the 
weatherdeck, either through or as close to the tank dome as possible.
    (i) Horizontal runs of cargo piping on integral tank barges may be 
run above or below the weatherdeck. When run below the weatherdeck, the 
following are applicable:
    (1) Horizontal runs located entirely within integral cargo tanks 
shall be fitted with a stop valve, located inside the tank that is being 
serviced and operable from the weatherdeck. There shall be cargo 
compatibility in the event of a piping failure.
    (2) Horizontal runs of cargo piping installed in pipe tunnels may 
penetrate gravity type tanks below the weatherdeck: Provided, That each 
penetration is fitted with a stop valve operable from the weatherdeck. 
If the tunnel is directly accessible from the weatherdeck without 
penetrating the cargo tank, the stop valve shall be located on the 
tunnel side. If the tunnel is not accessible from the weatherdeck, the 
valve shall be located on the tank side of the penetration.

[[Page 163]]

    (3) The tunnel shall comply with all tank requirements for 
construction, location, ventilation, and electrical hazard. There shall 
be cargo compatibility in the event of a piping failure.
    (4) The tunnel shall have no other openings except to the 
weatherdeck or a cargo pumproom.

personnel, in which work is performed on the cargo or in which the cargo 
movement is locally controlled, may be required to be fitted with one of 
the following types of ventilation:
    (a) Forced ventilation. The forced ventilation system shall be 
designed to insure sufficient air movement through these spaces to avoid 
the accumulation of toxic or flammable vapors and to insure sufficient 
oxygen to support life, and, in any event, the ventilation system shall 
have a minimum capacity sufficient to permit a change of air every 3 
minutes.
    (b) Natural ventilation. The natural ventilation system shall be 
designed to insure sufficient air movement to avoid the accumulation of

life.



               Subpart 151.30_Portable Fire Extinguishers



Sec. 151.30-1  Type.

    When required by Table 151.05, approved portable fire extinguishers 
shall be installed in accordance with Subpart 34.50 of this chapter. The 
fire extinguishing media shall be dry chemical or other suitable agent 
for all locations.



      Subpart 151.40_Temperature or Pressure Control Installations



Sec. 151.40-1  Definitions.

    This section defines the various methods by which the cargo may be 
heated or cooled.
    (a) Boiloff. Cargo pressure and temperatures are maintained by 
permitting the cargo to boil naturally and the cargo vapor thus 
generated removed from the tank by venting.
    (b) External cargo cooling--(1) Cargo vapor compression. A 
refrigeration system in which the cargo vapors generated within the tank 
are withdrawn, compressed, and the lower energy vapor or its condensate 
returned to the tank.
    (2) External heat exchange. A refrigeration system in which the 
cargo vapor or liquid is cooled outside the cargo tanks by being passed 
through a heat exchanger. Refrigeration is not accomplished by direct 
compression of the cargo.
    (c) Internal heat exchange. A refrigeration system in which a 
cooling fluid is passed through heat transfer coils immersed in the 
cargo tank liquid or vapor phases.
    (d) Tank refrigeration. A refrigeration system in which the cooling 
fluid is passed around the cargo tank exterior in order to remove heat 
from the tank or its surroundings.

[[Page 166]]

    (e) No refrigeration. A system that allows the liquefied gas to warm 
up and increase in pressure. The insulation and tank design pressure 
shall be adequate to provide for a suitable margin for the operating 
time and temperatures involved.
    (f) Tank heating. (1) A system in which the cargo is heated by means 
of steam or other heat transfer fluid running through coils within or 
around the tank. The cargo itself does not leave the tank.
    (2) A recirculating system in which the cargo leaves the tank, is 
pumped through a heater and then returned to the tank.



Sec. 151.40-2  Materials.

    Materials used in the construction of temperature or pressure 
control systems shall be suitable for the intended application and meet 
the requirements of Subchapter F and the Special Requirements section of 
this subchapter.



Sec. 151.40-5  Construction.

    Construction of machinery or equipment, such as heat exchangers, 
condensers, piping, etc., associated with temperature or pressure 
control systems shall meet the requirements of Subchapter F of this 
chapter. The electrical portions of these installations shall meet the 
requirements of Subchapter J of this chapter.



Sec. 151.40-10  Operational requirements.

    Control systems, required by Table 151.05 shall be provided with an 
audible or visual high cargo temperature or high cargo pressure alarm 
which is discernible at the towboat. The alarm shall operate when either 
the pressure or the temperature exceeds the operating limits of the 
system. The alarm may monitor either pressure or temperature, but must 
be independent of the control system.



Sec. 151.40-11  Refrigeration systems.

    (a) Boiloff systems. The venting of cargo boiloff to atmosphere 
shall not be used as a primary means of temperature or pressure control 
unless specifically authorized by the Commandant.
    (b) Vapor compression, tank refrigeration, and secondary 
refrigeration systems: The required cooling capacity of refrigeration 
systems shall be sufficient to maintain the cargo at design operating 
conditions with ambient temperature of 115 [deg]F still air and 90 
[deg]F still water. The number and arrangement of compressors shall be 
such that the required cooling capacity of the system is maintained with 
one compressor inoperative. Portions of the system other than the 
compressors need not have standby capacity.



                        Subpart 151.45_Operations



Sec. 151.45-1  General.

    (a) Barges certificated as tank barges (Subchapter D of this 
chapter) or cargo barges (Subchapter I of this chapter) for the carriage

hulls, the barge shall be under surveillance, as set forth in this 
paragraph:
    (1) The licensed operator, person in command, and mate of a vessel 
towing a tank barge that need not be manned, and each of them, shall be 
responsible for monitoring the security and integrity of the tank barge 
and for ensuring adherence to proper safety precautions. These 
responsibilities include, but are not limited to--
    (i) Ensuring that every tank barge added to the tow has all tank 
openings properly secured; has its freeing-ports and scuppers, if any, 
unobstructed; meets any loadline or freeboard requirements; and neither 
leaks cargo into the water, voids, or cofferdams nor leaks water into 
the tanks, voids, or cofferdams;
    (ii) Ensuring that every tank barge in the tow is properly secured 
within the tow;
    (iii) Ensuring that periodic checks are made of every tank barge in 
the tow for leakage of cargo into the water, voids, or cofferdams and

Jan. 4, 1989; CGD 79-116, 60 FR 17158, Apr. 4, 1995]



Sec. 151.45-5  Open hopper barges.

    (a) All open hopper barges not constructed or modified in 
conformance with the provisions of Subpart 151.10 of this part when 
carrying in bulk any cargoes regulated by this subchapter shall meet the 
provisions of this section. However, the provisions of this section are 
not applicable to such barges when empty (not necessarily cleaned or 
gas-freed).
    (1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, no such open 
hopper type barge shall be placed as lead barge in any tow. These barges 
shall be placed in protected positions within the tow so that the danger 
from diving or swamping will be minimized. Where, due to operating 
conditions, compliance with this paragraph is impossible, the provisions 
of paragraph (a)(3) of this section apply. The person in charge of the 
towing vessel shall be responsible for compliance with this paragraph.
    (2) No such open hopper type barge shall be moved from a loading 
facility unless all void spaces and bilges are substantially free of 
water. Periodic inspections and necessary pumping shall be carried out 
to insure the maintenance of such water-free conditions, in order to 
minimize the free surface effect in both the longitudinal and transverse 
directions. Except when considered necessary for inspection or pumping, 
all hatch covers and other hull closure devices for void spaces and hull 
compartments shall be closed and secured at all times. In the case of 
unmanned barges, the person in charge of the towing vessel shall be 
deemed to be in charge of the barge, and all requirements to be carried 
out on the barge shall be carried out by or under the direction of this 
person.
    (3) When an open hopper type barge is in an exposed position, such 
that protection from swamping provided by adjoining barges cannot be 
obtained from the location within the tow, it shall be the 
responsibility of the person in charge of the towing vessel to control 
speed so as to insure protection against diving and swamping of the 
barge, having regard to its design and freeboard, and other operating 
conditions.
    (b) To show that special operating requirements apply to a specific 
open hopper type barge, additional placards or signs shall be displayed 
in at least four different locations on the barge when the cargoes 
subject to this part are carried in any form in the cargo tanks. The 
placards or signs shall be posted on the barge approximately amidships 
on each side and near the centerline fore and aft facing outboard. 
Racks, or other suitable means for mounting such placards or signs, 
shall be so arranged as to provide clear visibility and shall be 
protected from becoming readily damaged or obscured. The placards or 
signs shall be at least

[[Page 171]]

equal in dimensions to the DOT standard tank car ``Dangerous'' placard 
(10\3/4\ inches square or larger) and shall display a circle (10 inches 
in diameter or larger) with alternating quadrants of white and red, and 
so mounted that the red quadrants are centered on the vertical axis. The 
shipper and/or owner of the barge shall be responsible for the 
installation of the required placards or signs, including maintenance of 
them while such barge is in temporary storage with cargo aboard. The 
person in charge of the towing vessel shall be responsible for the 
continued maintenance of the placards or signs while such barge is in 
transit.



Sec. 151.45-6  Maximum amount of cargo.

    (a) Tanks carrying liquids or liquefied gases at ambient 
temperatures regulated by this subchapter shall be limited in the amount 
of cargo loaded to that which will avoid the tank being liquid full at 
105 [deg]F if insulated, or 115 [deg]F if uninsulated. If specific 
filling densities are designated in Subpart 151.50 of this part, they 
shall take precedence over that noted above.
    (b) Refrigerated and semirefrigerated tanks shall be filled so that 
there is an outage of at least 2 percent of the volume of the tank at 
the temperature corresponding to the vapor pressure of the cargo at the 
safety relief valve setting. A reduction in the required outage may be 
permitted by the Commandant when warranted by special design 
considerations. Normally, then, the maximum volume to which a tank may 
be loaded is:

VL=0.98drV/dL

where:

VL=Maximum volume to which tank may be loaded.
V =Volume of tank.
dr=Density of cargo at the temperature required for a cargo 
          vapor pressure equal to the relief valve setting.
dL=Density of cargo at the loading temperature and pressure.



Sec. 151.45-7  Shipping papers.

    Each barge carrying dangerous cargo shall have on board a bill of 
lading, manifest, or shipping document giving the name of shipper, 
location of the loading point, and the kind, grade, and approximate 
quantity by compartment of each cargo in the barge. Such manifest or 
bills of lading may be made out by the shipper, master of the towing 
vessel, owner, or agent of the owner. However, in the case of unmanned 
barges the master of the towing vessel shall either have a copy of the 
shipping papers for each barge in his tow or he shall make an entry in 
the towing vessel's log book giving the name of the shipper, location 
where the barge was loaded, and the kind, grade, and quantity of cargo 
by compartment in the barge. The barge shall not be delayed in order to 
secure the exact quantities of cargo.



Sec. 151.45-8  Illness, alcohol, drugs.

    A person who is under the influence of liquor or other stimulants, 
or is so ill as to render him unfit to perform service shall not be 
permitted to perform any duties on the barge.



Sec. 151.45-9  Signals.

    While fast to a dock, a vessel during transfer of bulk cargo shall 
display a red flag by day or a red light by night, which signal shall be 
so placed that it will be visible on all sides. When at anchor, a vessel 
during transfer of bulk cargo shall display a red flag by day, placed so 
that it will be visible on all sides. This flag may be metallic.

    (a) [Reserved]
    (b) Independent tanks shall be designed and tested for a head of at 
least 8 feet above the top of the tank using

[[Page 172]]

the specific gravity of the product to be carried. In addition, tank 
design calculations shall demonstrate that the tank can withstand, 
without rupture, a single loading to the highest level to which the 
product may rise, if that exceeds 8 feet. In general, plate less than 
five-sixteenths inch in thickness shall not be used in the fabrication 
of independent tanks unless otherwise approved.
    (c)(1) Cargo tanks transporting liquids having a Reid vapor pressure 
exceeding 14 pounds per square inch absolute or vented at a gauge 
pressure exceeding 4 pounds per square inch, or where air or water 
pressure is used to discharge the cargo, shall be fabricated as arc-
welded unfired pressure vessels.
    (2) Unfired pressure vessel cargo tanks shall be designed for a 
pressure not less than the vapor pressure, in pounds per square inch 
gauge, of the lading at 115 [deg]F, or the maximum air or water pressure 
used to discharge the cargo, whichever is greater, but in no case shall 
the design pressure of such tanks be less than 30 pounds per square inch 
gauge.
    (d) Piping. (1) The pumps and piping used for cargo transfer shall 
be independent of all other piping.
    (2) Where multiple cargoes are carried, and the cargo piping 
conveying cargoes covered under this section are led through cargo tanks 
containing other products, the piping shall be encased in a tunnel.
    (3) Where cargo lines handling other products, or bilge and ballast 
piping are led through tanks containing cargoes covered by this section, 
the piping shall be enclosed in a tunnel.
    (e) Gravity type cargo tanks shall be fitted with an approved 
pressure-vacuum relief valve of not less than 2\1/2\-inch size, which 
shall be set at a pressure of not less than 3 pounds per square inch 
gauge, but not in excess of the design pressure of the tank.
    (f) The discharge fittings from each safety relief or pressure 
vacuum relief valve shall be directed in such a manner as to not impinge 
on another tank, piping or any other equipment which would increase the 
fire hazard should burning products be discharged from the safety or 
pressure vacuum relief valve as a result of a fire or other casualty. In 
addition, the discharges shall be directed away from areas where it is 
likely that persons might be working and as remote as practicable from 
ventilation inlets and ignition sources. A common discharge header may 
be employed if desired. The area near the discharge fittings shall be 
clearly marked as a hazardous area.
    (g) A means shall be provided for either the reclamation or safe 
venting of vapors during the loading and unloading operations. For this

Sec. 151.50-30  Compressed gases.

    (a) All tank inlet and outlet connections, except safety relief 
valves, liquid level gauging devices, and pressure gauges shall be 
marked to designate whether they terminate in the vapor or liquid space. 
Labels, when used, shall be of corrosion-resistant materials and may be 
attached to valves.
    (b) Venting. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section each safety relief valve installed on a cargo tank shall be 
connected to a branch vent of a venting system which shall be 
constructed so that the discharge of gas will be directed vertically 
upward to a point at least 10 feet above the weatherdeck or the top of 
any tank or house located above the weatherdeck.
    (2) Safety valves on cargo tanks in barges may be connected to 
individual or common risers which shall extend to a reasonable height 
above the deck. Where the escape of vapors from the venting system may 
interfere with towing operations, the installation shall be acceptable 
to the Commandant, and the arrangement shall be such as to minimize the 
hazard of escaping vapors. Arrangements specially provided for venting 
cargo tanks forming part of the hull on unmanned barges will be given 
special consideration by the Commandant.
    (3) The capacity of branch vents or vent headers shall depend upon 
the number of cargo tanks connected to such branch or header as provided 
in Table 151.50-30(b)(3).

diameter manhole, fitted with a cover located above the maximum liquid 
level and as close as possible to the top of the tank. There shall be no 
other openings in the tank.
    (c) Tanks may be installed ``on deck'' or ``under deck'' with the 
tank protruding above deck. If a portion of the tank extends above the 
weatherdeck, provision shall be made to maintain the weathertightness on 
the deck. All tanks shall be installed with the manhole opening located 
above the weatherdeck. Hopper type barges operating on protected inland 
waters may have tanks located in the hopper space.
    (d) All valves, flanges, fittings and accessary equipment shall be 
of a type suitable for use with chlorine and shall be made of metal, 
corrosion-resistant to chlorine in either the gas or liquid phase. Cast 
or malleable iron shall not be used. Valves, flanges, and flanged joints 
shall be 300 pounds A.N.S.I. standard minimum with tongue and groove or 
raised face. Joints shall be fitted with sheet lead or other suitable 
gasket material. Welded fittings shall be used wherever possible and the 
number of pipe joints held to a minimum. Threaded joints in cargo lines 
and vapor lines shall not be used in sizes above 1 inch internal 
diameter. Welded ``hammerlock'' unions or other unions approved by the 
Commandant may be used at terminal points of fixed barge piping.
    (e) Each tank shall be provided with liquid and vapor connections 
fitted with manually operated shutoff valves and with safety relief 
valves. All valves shall be bolted to the cover or covers specified in 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section and shall be protected against 
mechanical damage by a suitable protective metal housing. A drain 
connection shall be provided from the protective housing.
    (f) All liquid and vapor connections, except safety relief valves, 
shall be fitted with automatic excess flow valves, which shall be 
located on the inside of the tank. Bypass openings are not permitted in 
excess flow valves.
    (g) Chlorine barge cargo piping shall not be fitted with the 
nonreturn valves specified by Sec. 151.20-20(b).
    (h) Liquid level gauging devices of any type are prohibited on

5(h).
    (m) Safety relief valves shall discharge into the protective housing 
surrounding the valves. Suitable provisions shall be made to vent the 
housing. The arrangement shall be such as to minimize the hazard of 
escaping vapors.
    (n) Cargo transfer operations. (1) The amount of chlorine loaded 
into each cargo tank shall be determined by weight. Draft marks shall 
not be used as a means of weighing. Any chlorine vapors vented during 
the filling operation shall be disregarded when calculating the maximum 
amount of chlorine to be loaded into the cargo tanks.
    (2) Prior to the start of filling operations, care shall be 
exercised to insure that the cargo tanks are empty, dry, and free from 
foreign matter.
    (3) After the filling operation is completed, the vapor in each 
cargo tank shall be analyzed to determine the percentage of gaseous 
chlorine in the vapor space. If it should contain less than 80 percent 
chlorine by volume, vapors shall be withdrawn through the vent or vapor 
line until the vapor in the cargo tanks contains at least 80 percent 
chlorine by volume.
    (4) After filling connections are removed, upon completion of the 
loading of a cargo tank, all connections at the tank shall be tested for 
leakage of chlorine by the aqua ammonia method.
    (5) The chlorine in the cargo tanks shall be discharged by the 
pressure differential method. If the vapor pressure of the chlorine is 
not sufficient to force the liquid out of the tank, compressed air, or 
other nonreactive gas, may be used to secure the desired rate of 
discharge, provided the air or gas is oil-free and thoroughly dried by 
passing it over activated aluminum oxide, silica gel, or other 
acceptable drying agent, and provided the supply pressure is limited to 
75 percent of maximum allowable pressure of chlorine tanks.
    (6) After completion of cargo transfer, any liquid chlorine in the 
cargo piping shall be removed and cargo transfer piping shall be 
disconnected at the cargo tanks. After disconnecting the cargo piping, 
both ends of the line shall be closed and all inlet and outlet valves on 
the tank shall be plugged or fitted with blind flanges.
    (o) During cargo transfer, every person on the barge shall carry on 
his person a respiratory protective device which will protect the wearer 
against chlorine vapors and will provide respiratory protection for 
emergency escape from a contaminated area resulting from cargo leakage. 
This respiratory protective equipment shall be of such size and weight 
that the person wearing it will not be restricted in movement or in the 
wearing of a lifesaving device.
    (p) During each internal inspection, each cargo tank must be tested 
hydrostatically to 1\1/2\ times the maximum allowable pressure as 
determined by the safety relief valve setting.
    (q) During each internal inspection, each cargo tank excess flow 
valve and safety relief valve must be inspected and tested in accordance 
with paragraphs (g) and (i) of Sec. 151.04-5 of this chapter.
    (r) When periodic inspection indicates that a cargo tank has 
deteriorated in service, the maximum allowable pressure shall be 
recalculated, using the minimum thickness found by actual measurement. 
The recalculated maximum allowable pressure shall be not less than 275 
pounds per square inch gauge. If the recalculated maximum allowable 
pressure is less than 275 pounds per square inch gauge, the cargo tanks 
shall be withdrawn from service.
    (s) The following substances shall not be carried as stores on board 
barges transporting chlorine in bulk: hydrogen, methane, liquefied 
petroleum gases, coal gas, acetylene, ammonia, turpentine, compounds 
containing metallic powders, finely divided metals or finely divided 
organic materials.
    (t) The requirements of Sec. 151.50-30 for compressed gases are 
also applicable to the shipment of chlorine.

prescribed in the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual for the 
prewash.
    (3) The wash water must be heated if required by Sec. 153.1108, and 
water or tank washings must pass through the cargo pump and piping, 
including any stripping equipment, during washing or during discharge of 
tank washings.
    (4) Except as required in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, the 
number of washing machine cycles specified in Table 153.1120 must be 
completed. If a prewash is required by a section listed under Column 1 
of Table 153.1120 and another section listed under Column 2, the number 
of cycles in Column 1 must be completed but no additional cycles are 
necessary.
    (5) If the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual specifies 
that a tank washing machine must be moved for the prewash of a tank from 
which a Category A NLS or a solidifying NLS has been unloaded, the 
number of washing machine cycles specified in Table 153.1120 must be 
completed at each position to which the washing machine is moved.
    (6) When the NLS is immiscible with water or is a solidifying cargo, 
the tank must be pumped out each time enough tank washings collect in 
the bottom of the tank for the pump to gain suction, or the procedures 
in paragraphs (b)(3), (b)(4), and (b)(5) of this section must be 
repeated two additional times with the tank pumped out each time, for a 
total of three washings.
    (7) Items 12 through 14 in the Cargo Record Book must be completed 
and, if the prewash is for a Category A NLS, verification that the 
procedures specified in the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual 
were followed shown by the Surveyor's endorsement in the Cargo Record 
Book.

  Subpart D_Test and Calculation Procedures for Determining Stripping 
          Quantity, Clingage NLS Residue, and Total NLS Residue

    Source: CGD 81-101, 52 FR 7788, Mar. 12, 1987, unless otherwise 
noted.



Sec. 153.1600  Equipment required for conducting the stripping quantity 
test.

    The operator shall ensure the stripping quantity test is conducted 
with--
    (a) Equipment that maintains a backpressure of at least 100 kPa (1 
atm) (gauge) at the connection of the discharge line of the tank to be 
tested to the cargo transfer hose, including, but not limited to, piping 
whose discharge is 10 m above the manifold or a constant pressure valve 
in the discharge line and set at 100 kPa;
    (b) A container for measuring the volume of water remaining in the 
tank to an accuracy of 5%;
    (c) A squeegee or broom to collect standing water on the tank floor;
    (d) One or more containers for collecting and transferring water; 
and
    (e) One of the following for transferring the water remaining in the 
tank to the measuring container:
    (1) A wet vacuum.
    (2) A positive displacement pump.
    (3) An eductor with an air/water separator in line.



Sec. 153.1602  Test procedure for determining the strippinq quantity.

    (a) The stripping quantity of a tank must be determined by testing 
the tank under the procedures in paragraph (b) of this section unless 
the Coast Guard agrees under the provisions of Sec. 153.10 to accept 
the stripping quantity, previously determined under paragraph (b) of 
this section, of a tank having similar geometry, internal structure, and 
piping system.
    (b) When testing a tank for stripping quantity, the owner or 
operator of the ship shall proceed as follows:
    (1) Make arrangements with the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, 
for a Coast Guard Marine Inspector to witness the stripping test.
    (2) Clean and gas free the tanks to be tested.
    (3) Determine the least favorable values of list and trim for 
drainage within the range allowed by the approved Procedures and 
Arrangements Manual.
    (4) Maintain the ship's list and trim during the test to that 
determined under paragraph (b)(3) of this section.
    (5) Load the tank with enough water so that unloading the water 
simulates the final stages of unloading a full tank of cargo.
    (6) Pump out the water and strip the tank using the procedures 
specified in the approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual.
    (7) After shutting the manifold valve, open any cargo pump foot 
valve to allow water trapped in the cargo pump to drain into the tank.
    (8) Open all valves in the piping system except the manifold valve 
and allow the water to drain into the tank.
    (9) Squeegee or sweep the water drained under paragraphs (b)(7) and 
(b)(8) of this section and any water that stands in puddles on the tank 
floor to the tank's low point or sump and collect in the container 
required by Sec. 153.1600(b) using the equipment required in Sec. 
153.1600(e).
    (10) With the manifold valve still closed, drain any water remaining 
in the piping system on the ship's side of the cargo transfer manifold 
valve into containers, and add this water to that collected from the 
tank under paragraph (b)(9) of this section. Water collected from a 
cargo line serving a block of tanks may be prorated between all the 
tanks it serves if--
    (i) The ship owner requests, under the provisions of Sec. 153.10, 
that the water be prorated; and
    (ii) The ship's approved Procedures and Arrangements Manual 
specifies that no tank in the block be washed until all the tanks in the 
block have been discharged.
    (c) Include any water that is trapped in dead end pipe sections, 
either by--
    (1) Draining the pipe sections and adding the water to that 
collected in the container under paragraphs (b)(9) and (b)(10) of this 
section; or
    (2) Adding an estimate of the water's volume to the sum calculated 
in paragraph (d) of this section using the pipe's dimensions, the ship's 
list and

[[Page 245]]

trim, and the geometry of the piping system.
    (d) Measure the volume of water collected in the container under 
paragraphs (b)(9), (b)(10), and (c)(1) of this section and add to that 
volume the volume, if any, estimated under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section.



Sec. 153.1604  Determining the stripping quantity from the test results.

    (a) For a single test, the stripping quantity is the volume of water 
calculated under Sec. 153.1602(d).
    (b) If multiple tests are made on a tank without modifications to 
the tank, pumping system, or stripping procedure between the tests, the 
stripping quantity must be taken as the average of the stripping 
quantities for all of the tests.
    (c) If multiple tests are made on a tank with modifications to the 
tank, pumping system, or stripping procedure between the tests, the 
stripping quantity is the stripping quantity determined under paragraph 
(b) of this section using only those tests performed after the last 
modification.



Sec. 153.1608  Calculation of total NLS residue and clingage NLS residue.

    (a) The total NLS residue for each tank is calculated by adding the 
stripping quantity and the clingage NLS residue.
    (b) The clingage NLS residue for each tank is calculated using the 
following formula:

Qclingage=1.1x10-4 
Ad+1.5x10-5 Aw+4.5x10-4 
L1/2 Ab

where:

Ab=Area of the tank bottom added to the area in square meters 
          of tank structural components projected on a horizontal 
          surface
Ad=Area of the tank underdecks added to the area in square 
          meters of tank structural components projected on a horizontal 
          surface
Aw=Area of the tank walls added to the area in square meters 
          of tank structural components projected on a vertical surface
L=Length of tank in meters from fore to aft
Qclingage=volume of clingage in cubic meters

When using the formula in this paragraph, areas that are inclined more 
than 30[deg] from the horizontal may be assumed to be vertical.

    Note: The Commandant (CG-ENG) (telephone number 202-372-1420) has 
information that may be useful in approximating surface areas of typical 
structural members for the projected area calculations under Sec. 
153.1608(b).

Column Heading Footnotes:
a. The cargo name must be as it appears in this column (see 153.900, 153.907). Words in italics are not part of the cargo name but may be used in
  addition to the cargo name. When one entry references another entry by use of the word ``see'', and both names are in roman type, either name may be
  used as the cargo name (e.g., Diethyl ether, see Ethyl ether). However, the referenced entry is preferred.
The provisions contained in 46 CFR part 197, subpart C, apply to liquid cargoes containing 0.5% or more benzene by volume.
b. This column lists the IMO Annex II Pollution Category.
 A, B, C, D--NLS Category of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78.
 III--Appendix III of Annex II (non-NLS cargoes) of MARPOL 73/78.
 --No determination of NLS status. For shipping on an oceangoing vessel, see 46 CFR 153.900(c).
 [ ]--A NLS category in brackets indicates that the product is provisionally categorized and that further data are necessary to complete the evaluation
  of its pollution hazards. Until the hazard evaluation is completed, the pollution category assigned is used.
 @--The NLS category has been assigned by the U.S. Coast Guard, in absence of one assigned by the IMO. The category is based upon a GESAMP Hazard
  Profile or by analogy to a closely related product having an NLS assigned.
c. This column lists the hazard(s) of the commodity:
 S--The commodity is included because of its safety hazards.
 P--The commodity is included because of its pollution hazards.
 S/P--The commodity is included because of both its safety and pollution hazards.
d. This column lists the type of containment system the cargo must have (see 153.230 through 153.232).
e. This column lists the height of any vent riser required (see 153.350 and 153.351).
f. This column lists any vent control valve required (see 153.355).
g. This column lists the type of gauging system required (see 153.400 through 153.406).

[[Page 263]]

 
h. This column lists the type of fire protection system required. Where more than one system is listed, any listed system may be used. A dry chemical
  system may not be substituted for either type of foam system unless the dry chemical system is listed as an alternative or the substitution is
  approved by Commandant (CG-ENG) (telephone number 202-372-1420) (see 153.460). The types are as follows:
 A is a foam system for water soluble cargoes (polar solvent foam).
 B is a foam system for water insoluble cargoes (non-polar solvent foam).
 C is a water spray system.
 D is a dry chemical system.
 NSR means there is no special requirement applying to fire protection systems.
i. This column lists sections that apply to the cargo in addition to the general requirements of this part. The 153 Part number is omitted.
j. This column lists the electrical hazard class and group used for the cargo when determining requirements for electrical equipment under Subchapter J
  (Electrical Engineering) of this chapter.
A number of electrical hazard class and group assignments are based upon that which appears in ``Classification of Gases, Liquids and Volatile Solids
  Relative to Explosion-Proof Electrical Equipment'', Publication NMAB 353-5, National Academy Press, 1982, when not appearing in NFPA 497M, ``Manual
  for Classification of Gases, Vapors and Dusts for Electrical Equipment in Hazardous (Classified) Locations.''
The I-B electrical hazard does not apply to weather deck locations (see 46 CFR Part 111) for inorganic acids: Chlorosulfonic acid; Hydrochloric acid;
  Nitrating acid; Nitric acid (70% or less); Oleum; Phosphoric acid; Sulfuric acid.
Abbreviations used in the Table:
 NR--No requirement.
 NA--Not applicable.
Abbreviations for Noxious Liquid cargoes:
 N.F.--non-flammable (flash point greater than 60 deg C (140 deg F) closed cup (cc)).
 F.--flammable (flash point less than or equal to 60 deg C (140 deg F) closed cup (cc)).
 n.o.s.--not otherwise specified.
 ST--Ship type.
 Cat--Pollution category.
Footnotes for Specific Cargoes:
1. Special applicability:
 153.440 and .908(a) apply to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a viscosity of 25 mPa.s at 20 deg C (68 deg F).
 153.440 and .908(b) apply to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a melting point of 0 deg C (32 deg F) and above.
 153.488 applies to the chemical, and mixtures containing the chemical, with a melting point of 15 deg C (59 deg F) and above.
2. Benzene containing cargoes.
 Applies to mixtures containing no other components with safety hazards and where the pollution category is C or less.
3. Diammonium salt of Zinc ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid solution; Tetraethylenepentamine.
 Aluminum is a questionable material of construction with this cargo since pitting and corrosion has been reported. The IMO Chemical Code prohibits
  aluminum as a material of construction for this cargo.
4. 2,4-Dichlorophenol.
 Some tank pitting has been reported when this cargo is contaminated with water, including moisture in the air. The IMO Chemical Code requires that the
  vapor space over this cargo be kept dry.
5. Reserved.
6. Diphenylmethane diisocyanate; Hexamethylene diisocyanate; Isophorone diisocyanate; Polymethylene polyphenyl isocyanate; Toluene diisocyanate;
  Trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (2,2,4- and 2,4,4- isomers).
 Water is effective in extinguishing open air fires but will generate hazardous quantities of gas if put on the cargo in enclosed spaces.
7. Maleic anhydride; Nitroethane; Nitroethane, 1-Nitropropane mixtures; 1- or 2-Nitropropane; Nitropropane, Nitroethane mixtures.
 Dry chemical extinguishers should not be used on fires involving these cargoes since some dry chemicals may react with the cargo and cause an
  explosion.
8. Xylenes.
 Special requirement .908(b) only applies to the para- (p-) isomer, and mixtures containing the para-isomer having a melting point of 0 deg C (32 deg F)
  or more.

          dynamic accelerations of a full tank)=a[beta] Z[beta] Y;

where:

a[beta]=dimensionless acceleration relative to the acceleration of 
          gravity resulting from gravitational and dynamic loads in the 
          [beta] direction (see figure 1);
Z[beta]=largest liquid height (m) above the point where the pressure is

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC02FE91.084

    (b) The (hgd) max is determined for the [beta] 
direction, on the ellipse in Figure 1, which gives the maximum value for

Sec. 154.408  Cargo tank external pressure load.

    For the calculation required under Sec. 154.406 (a)(2) and (b), the

vessel motions, including the effects of surge, sway, heave, roll, 
pitch, and yaw on irregular seas that the vessel may experience during 
10\8\ wave encounters. The speed used for this calculation may be 
reduced from the ship service speed if specially approved by the 
Commandant

[[Page 288]]

(CG-ENG) and if that reduced speed is used in the hull strength 
calculation under Sec. 31.10-5(c) of this chapter.
    (b) If the loads determined under paragraphs (c), (d), or (e) of 
this section result in a design stress that is lower than the allowable 
stress of the material under Sec. Sec. 154.610, 154.615, or 154.620, 
the allowable stress must be reduced to that stress determined in 
paragraphs (c), (d), or (e).
    (c) If a tank is designed to avoid plastic deformation and buckling, 
then acceleration components of the dynamic loads must be determined for 
the largest loads the vessel may experience during an operating life 
corresponding to the probability level of 10-8, by using one 
of the following methods:
    (1) Method 1 is a detailed analysis of the vessel's acceleration 
components.
    (2) Method 2 applies to vessels of 50 m (164 ft) or more in length 
and is an analysis by the following formulae that corresponds to a 
10-8 probability level in the North Atlantic:
    (i) Vertical acceleration under paragraph (f)(1) of this section:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC02FE91.085
    

[[Page 289]]


[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC02FE91.086

    (d) If a cargo tank is designed to avoid fatigue, the dynamic loads 
determined under paragraph (a) of this section must be used to develop 
the dynamic spectrum.

propagation, the dynamic loads are:
    (1) Determined under paragraph (a) of this section; and
    (2) For a load distribution for a period of 15 days by the method in 
Figure 3.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC02FE91.087


[[Page 291]]


    (f) When determining the accelerations for dynamic loads under 
paragraph (a) of this section, the accelerations acting in a cargo tank 
must be estimated for the cargo tank's center of gravity and include the 
following component accelerations:
    (1) Vertical accelerations, meaning the motion acceleration of heave 
and pitch, and of any roll normal to the vessel base that has an effect 
on the component acceleration.
    (2) Transverse acceleration, meaning the motion acceleration of 
sway, yaw and roll, and gravity component of roll.
    (3) Longitudinal acceleration, meaning the motion acceleration of 
surge and pitch and gravity component of pitch.

        Sec. Appendix B to Part 154--Stress Analyses Definitions

    The following are the standard definitions of stresses for the 
analysis of an independent tank type B:
    Normal stress means the component of stress normal to the plane of 
reference.
    Membrane stress means the component of normal stress that is 
uniformly distributed and equal to the average value of the stress 
across the thickness of the section under consideration.
    Bending stress means the variable stress across the thickness of the 
section under consideration, after the subtraction of the membrane 
stress.
    Shear stress means the component of the stress acting in the plane 
of reference.

[[Page 329]]

    Primary stress means the stress produced by the imposed loading that 
is necessary to balance the external forces and moments. (The basic 
characteristic of a primary stress is that it is not self-limiting. 
Primary stresses that considerably exceed the yield strength result in 
failure or at least in gross deformations.)
    Primary general membrane stress means the primary membrane stress 
that is so distributed in the structure that no redistribution of load 
occurs as a result of yielding.
    Primary local membrane stress means the resulting stress from both a 
membrane stress, caused by pressure or other mechanical loading, and a 
primary or a discontinuity effect that produces excessive distortion in 
the transfer of loads to other portions of the structure. (The resulting 
stress is a primary local membrane stress although it has some 
characteristics of a secondary stress.) A stress region is local if:

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC02FE91.095

where:

S1=distance in the meridional direction over which the 
          equivalent stress exceeds 1.1 f.
S2=distance in the meridional direction to another region 
          where the limits for primary general membrane stress are 
          exceeded.
R=mean radius of the vessel.
t=wall thickness of the vessel at the location where the primary general 
          membrane stress limit is exceeded.
f=allowable primary general membrane stress.

    Secondary stress means a normal stress or shear stress caused by 
constraints of adjacent parts or by self-constraint of a structure. The 
basic characteristic of a secondary stress is that it is self-limiting. 
Local yielding and minor distortions can satisfy the conditions that 
cause the stress to occur.
