🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 151 – Vessels Carrying Garbage (look at the section on Garbage Management Plans) • What the regulation says a written waste/garbage management plan must contain • Whether the plan must be submitted to the Coast Guard or just kept onboard

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does 33 CFR say this is REQUIRED for a garbage/waste management plan, or is this extra/incorrect? • Check whether the regulation talks about responsibilities for all personnel or focuses on procedures and a person in charge. • Decide if 33 CFR requires the written plan to be sent to the OCMI or simply available onboard and followed.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR whether the plan must be in writing and kept onboard. • Verify whether the regulation requires the plan to be submitted to the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI). • Verify the specific items that must be described in the plan (procedures? responsibilities? designation of a person in charge?).
