SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Section 5604 of the Clean Vessel Act (Pub. L. 102-587, Title V,

Subtitle F) authorizes the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service to make grants to coastal States for constructing/renovating

pumpout and portable toilet dump stations and for implementing

associated education programs.

In response to a request from a State and the marine community, the

definitions of facilities open to the public, and public versus private

facilities have been added. The definition of public/private follows

definitions developed earlier by the marine community for surveying

marinas for pumpout and other information.

Two proposals are required by coastal States when submitting

projects in coastal and inland portions of the State. Without this

differentiation, adequate evaluation of proposals is not possible since

points are different for the two zones.

Clarification on points for education was added so that States

could receive points for education if they had an active, ongoing

education program and did not need additional funds in a particular

year. Otherwise, States would be forced to request funds to get points

even if they did not need the funds.

In order to increase public awareness of the program, the marine

community has recommended developing a pumpout symbol, slogan, and

program crediting logo. This rule provides the requirements for that

pumpout symbol, slogan, and crediting logo.

There has been an International Standards Organization

international symbol since 1972. This symbol is depicted below.

BILLING CODE 4310-55-M

[[Page 48492]]

[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TP19SE95.003

BILLING CODE 4310-55-C

There is also a symbol which appears on National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration's National Ocean Service nautical charts.

The letter ``P'' and the circle around the ``P'' are magenta-colored.

This symbol is depicted below.

BILLING CODE 4310-55-M

[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TP19SE95.004

BILLING CODE 4310-55-C

The international symbol has been described by the marine community

as not conveying a distinct meaning and is not understood by boaters.

That symbol, therefore, has not been accepted by boaters and is not in

general use in the United States. Likewise, the NOAA magenta ``P'' and

circle on charts was not accepted as having a distinct message when

presented to the marine community and has been deemed by Federal

Highway Administration and marine community groups as possibly being in

conflict with the symbol for ``parking''. Therefore, there is no

nationally recognized pumpout symbol in general use to indicate to

boaters traveling in different parts of the country where pumpout and

portable toilet dump stations are located.

Likewise, there is no nationally recognized slogan. There are

several State and private pumpout and portable toilet dump station

symbols and slogans in use. Each one is different, so that the image

and words are different from State to State. In order to have a

successful campaign nationwide to get boaters to use pumpouts, a

single, coordinated message and symbol is needed.

Therefore, a pumpout symbol and slogan have been developed to

provide boaters with a single nationwide symbol of pumpout and portable

toilet dump station locations, and to provide a consistent message

about the program nationally in education materials produced by each

State. Advertising the program with one widely-accepted symbol and

slogan will decrease confusion, better advertise the program, result in

greater use of pumpout and portable toilet dump stations, improve the

aquatic environment, and thus contribute to improve economic and health

conditions. The symbol and slogan contributes to environmental

improvement goals of other Federal, State and local governmental

agencies and has the support of boaters, the boating industry and the

marine community.

Currently, Sec. 80.26 of 50 CFR Part 80 contains a crediting logo,

and Sec. 85.47 of 50 CFR Part 85 contains suggested

[[Page 48493]]

language to acknowledge that facilities were constructed with Clean

Vessel Act funds. These sections were also reviewed and suggestions

made for changes.

Developing a Pumpout Symbol

The Fish and Wildlife Service consulted with Federal and State

agencies, and with organizations and individuals within the marine

industry and boating community, in developing a pumpout symbol. A

scoping meeting was held April 8, 1993 to obtain input on a pumpout

symbol. States that presently have pumpout symbols were invited to

attend, as well as others. Maryland and Virginia attended, as well as

the following Federal agency representatives: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Coast

Guard, and Federal Highway Administration. Representatives from States

Organization of Boating Access, National Marine Manufacturers

Association, American League of Anglers and Boaters, and the

International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies also attended.

Oregon and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators

did not attend, but provided comments, examples of their current

symbols and/or suggested symbols.

A draft scoping document, encompassing the information in this

notice, was sent to nearly 250 individuals and organizations for review

and comment on July 8, 1994. Comments were received from three Fish and

Wildlife Service Regions, Environmental Protection Agency Chesapeake

Bay Program, Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Coast Guard (3

letters), Massachusetts Department of Fisheries, Wildlife and

Environmental Law Enforcement, Oregon State Marine Board, Maryland

Department of Natural Resources Boating Administration, Florida

Department of Environmental Protection, National Marine Manufacturers

Association, Sealand Technology, Inc., Keco, Inc., and Neil Ross

Consultants. A summary of their comments follow.

General: Letters were received from the U.S. Coast Guard,

Massachusetts and Oregon, and Keco, Inc., supporting the development of

a symbol. Florida expressed concern with publishing a final rule

without publishing a draft. Response: The symbol is being developed,

and will be published in draft.

Symbol criteria: Oregon agreed with the criteria. Florida and Neil

Ross Consultants does not believe that Criterion 7, use of symbol on

deck fitting caps, is necessary or important. Response: Criterion 7 was

dropped.

Pumpout symbol: The suggested symbol had a white arrow with a blue

background, similar to the arrow proposed in this rule, except without

the holding tank or boat. Maryland and Neil Ross Consultants supported

the symbol, while the Federal Highway Administration, EPA Chesapeake

Bay Program, Florida, Oregon, Massachusetts, National Marine

Manufacturers Association, Keco, Inc., and Sealand Technology felt it

was too abstract, non-communicative, and could be confused with a

directional arrow. Fourteen alternative symbols were suggested, ten of

which included boats. EPA included a marine toilet, and Massachusetts

suggested words only, such as ``Pumpout''. Response: The overwhelming

comments were in favor of a symbol. Therefore, the use of words only

was not selected. A boat and holding tank have been added to the

symbol.

Sign color and shape: Coast Guard and Florida provided copies of

Code of Federal Regulations with sign color and shape requirements on

waterways which follow the U.S. Aids to Navigation System. Depending on

purpose the sign could have a white background with orange border and

orange or black symbol. Oregon and NMMA agreed with the blue and white

colors as providing consistency with FHWA standards. Massachusetts

stated the FHWA blue and white color scheme would not be visible on the

water, and suggested a black symbol on an orange background. Maryland

suggested using a red symbol with an orange background, which would not

conflict with Coast Guard regulations. Florida suggested an orange

border, white background, and black symbol and letters. FWS Atlanta

Region, FHWA, Florida and NMMA suggested using reflectorized paint or

illuminating the sign. Response: An international orange border with

white background and black symbol and letters was selected. These

colors follow the Coast Guard colors because of boater recognition and

because they are easily visible on the water. Coast Guard colors were

selected over FHWA colors because signs will be located on the water

rather than on highways. Reflectorized paint or film, or sign

illumination is suggested.

Qualifying signs: FHWA, Massachusetts, and NMMA recommended

educational plaques to explain the symbol until boaters learn its

meaning. Oregon and Keco, Inc. do not support additional signs due to

cost and over-signage. Response: The rule provides for both options.

Slogan: Maryland suggested its slogan ``Pump Don't Dump'', and

Oregon and NMMA supports that slogan. Massachusetts and Neil Ross

Consultants believe the Maryland slogan is not adequate. Keco, Inc. has

indicated the slogan ``PUMP IT DON'T DUMP IT'' is trademarked by them

and no similar slogan should be used. Fifty-two alternative slogans

were suggested. Response: The 52 alternatives were reduced to 17, and

boaters at four focus group meetings identified the most acceptible

slogans. The top four were then reviewed by the FWS, USCG, EPA, and

NOAA and one of the four, ``KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN--USE PUMPOUTS'', was

selected.

Crediting logo: FHWA suggested placing the crediting logo away from

the symbol so it would not interfere with the pumpout message. Florida

suggested the symbol and crediting logo should be strongly correlated.

Florida and Oregon suggested crediting language. NMMA supports a

crediting logo. Response: A crediting logo is identified in the rule

along with crediting language, with instructions on when and where to

use the logo and language.

Numerous consultations and scoping meetings were held with Federal,

State and marine community staffs, groups and individuals throughout

this period. Focus group meetings were held in Miami, FL, Minneapolis,

MN, Seattle, WA, and Annapolis, MD, between June 14 and 28, to obtain

inputs on a symbol, slogan, and boater attitudes toward pumping out

their sewage. Each group was shown the suggested symbol and results

show that ``the symbol, as tested, is appropriate and easily

understood. Boaters volunteered that this symbol can become the

`universal' visual for pumpout stations.''

Consultation occurred with the International Standards

Organization, American National Standards Institute, American Boat and

Yacht Council, Society of Automotive Engineers, American Institute of

Graphic Arts, British Standards Institution, and Permanent

International Association of Navigation Congresses. Input was obtained

on several pumpout symbol designs at the following meetings: seven EPA-

sponsored Regional Workshops in 1994, through a grant with The

International Marina Institute; at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Docks and Marina National Conference; and, at several marine community

conferences, workshops and meetings.

The following current symbols were reviewed: ISO international

pumpout symbol, NOAA National Ocean Service

[[Page 48494]]

Nautical Chart magenta ``P'' and circle. Maryland, North Carolina and

Keco, Inc. (Pumpout symbols), and Virginia (Pumpout and portable toilet

dump station symbols).

The following documents were reviewed: (1) Symbol Signs, The System

of Passenger/Pedestrian Oriented Symbols, Developed for the U.S. Dept.

of Transportation (DOT), The American Institute of Graphic Arts, 1981;

(2) Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice, SAE International, Graphic

Symbols for Boats, SAE J1449, Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.,

February 1987; (3) British Standard Marine Series: Specification for

Shipbuilding--Yachts--Waste water fittings, BS MA 84:1978, ISO 4567-

1978, UDC [629.125.12 + 629.125.22] : 628.2, British Standards

Institution, London, England; (4) American National Standard Graphic

Symbols for Plumbing Fixtures, American National Standards Institute

Y32.4-1977; (5) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets

and Highways (MUTCD), U.S. DOT, FHWA, 1988; (6) Standard Highway Signs

as Specified in the MUTCD, DOT, FHWA; (7) Standard Alphabets for

Highway Signs, DOT, FHWA, Reprinted 4/84.

Over 50 alternative symbols were reviewed by the Service. These

symbols were developed by and were reviewed by members of the marine

community, and State and Federal agencies. These symbols ranged from

very complex, with depictions of water, boats, toilets, docks, pumpout

stations, arrows and messages, to very simple, with an arrow and

messages.

In addition to a pumpout symbol, three different portable toilet

dump station symbols, and three combination pumpout/portable toilet

dump station symbols were suggested. Some were completely separate

portable toilet dump station or combination symbols, and some were

pumpout symbols adapted to portable toilet dump station or combination

symbols.

Criteria Used To Develop the Symbol

The following criteria were developed to select the pumpout symbol

after discussions with individuals involved in the marine community and

State and Federal agencies, and review of the documents identified in

this rule: (1) How well the symbol represents the message (It should be

kept in mind that many symbols must be learned before there is adequate

recognition of the symbol. Constant repetition of the symbol is more

important than the style of drawing or appropriateness of concept). (2)

The ease with which people learn the symbol (The simpler the symbol,

the easier to learn). (3) How well the symbol relates to national

standards. (4) How well the symbol is reproducible on letters, etc. (5)

How visible the sign is to viewers (The simpler the symbol, the easier

to recognize it at greater distances and under all light and background

conditions). (6) How easy to reproduce, reduce and enlarge the symbol

(The symbol must be legible when reduced significantly).

The Proposed Pumpout Symbol

The current international symbol was rejected by nearly all who

commented as not being understood by boaters and not communicating a

distinct meaning. The NOAA NOS nautical magenta ``P'' and circle,

although it may be suitable on the NOAA nautical charts, also does not

convey the pumpout message adequately on signs and may be in conflict

with other symbols such as parking signs, according to comments made by

people in the marine community. The current symbols used by States, and

the suggested complex symbols, did not fully comply with the criteria.

A suggestion was made to develop separate symbols for pumpout and

portable toilet dump stations. Comments on this suggestion favored one

single symbol which would encompass both pumpout and portable toilet

dump stations to decrease confusion and costs.

The proposed symbol encompasses the one feature that invariably

appeared in the 50 symbols: the ``arrow'', as well as the ``holding

tank'' and ``boat''. The proposed symbol, therefore, represents the

core of current and suggested symbols. The symbol is simple and should

be easy to learn. The symbol follows U.S. Coast Guard format and color

standards for signs on waterways (Symbol is black, border is

international orange, and background is white). The symbol is easily

reproducible on charts, etc., and should be easily recognizable to

viewers at a great distance. The symbol is easily reduced or enlarged

without losing legibility.

Developing a Pumpout Slogan

In addition to the pumpout symbol, the Service is proposing a

slogan. Some States currently have a slogan, however, no slogan exists

which would provide a national level focus for the program. The July 8,

1994, scoping document resulted in 52 suggested slogans. This number

was reduced to 17 and presented to boaters at the focus group meetings

held June 14 through 28, 1995, around the country. The proposed slogan,

``KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN--USE PUMPOUTS'', was then selected by the

cooperating Federal agencies (FWS, NOAA, EPA and USCG), based on the

top four slogans recommended by the boaters. ``Boaters prefer a short,

straight-forward slogan'' as identified during the focus group

meetings.

Developing a Program Crediting Logo

In addition to the crediting logo for the Federal Aid in Sport Fish

Restoration Act in Sec. 80.26 of 50 CFR Part 80. Sec. 85.47 of 50 CFR

Part 85 contains examples of suggested language for crediting the Clean

Vessel Act. Inputs were received from the July 8, 1994, scoping

document request, and subsequently from States and Fish and Wildlife

Service Regions. Suggested language was selected based on these

comments.

Public Comment

The policy of the Department of the Interior is, whenever

practicable, to afford the public an opportunity to participate in the

rulemaking process. Accordingly, interested persons may submit written

comments, suggestions or objections regarding the proposed rule to the

location identified in the Address section. Comments must be received

on or before November 20, 1995.

Environmental Effects

Because this rule is an administrative action, the effects on the

physical biological and sociological environment are too broad,

speculative, and conjectural to be analyzed meaningfully. Therefore,

the action is categorically excluded from any National Environmental

Policy Act documentation pursuant to 516 DM 2.3 A (2). However,

installation of symbol signs will be reviewed as part of the

construction or renovation of pumpout and portable toilet dump stations

which will require separate environmental consideration.

Information Collection Requirements

This proposed rule does not contain information collection

requirements that require approval by the Office of Management and

Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Statement of Effects

This rule was not subject to Office of Management and Budget review

under Executive Order 12866. The program does not have significant

``taking'' implications, as described in Executive Order 12630. The

rule allows eligible States to make decisions regarding the use of the

pumpout symbol, slogan and crediting logo. This rule does not

[[Page 48495]]

contain any federalism impacts as described in Executive Order 12612 on

Federalism. This rule will not have a significant economic effect on a

substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. et seq.) The effects of these rules occur to agencies in

the States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the

District of Columbia and the Northern Mariana Islands. These are not

small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs

This Clean Vessel Act Grant Program is covered under Executive

Order 12372 ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs'' and 43 CFR

Part 9 ``Intergovernmental Review of Department of the Interior

Programs and Activities.'' Under the Order, States may design their own

processes for reviewing and commenting on proposed Federal assistance

under covered programs.

Author

The primary author of this rule is Robert D. Pacific, U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service.

Regulation Promulgation

For the reasons set out in the preamble, Subchapter F of Chapter I,

Title 50, Part 85 of the Code of Federal Regulations is proposed to be

amended as set forth below.

PART 85--CLEAN VESSEL ACT GRANT PROGRAM

1. The authority citation continues to read as follows:

Authority: Public Law 102-587, Title V, Subtitle F.

Subpart A--General

2. Section 85.11 is amended by removing the paragraph designations

and adding the following definitions, in alphabetical order, to read as

follows:

Sec. 85.11 Definitions.

* * * * *

Equitable fees. Fees should be equal for all pumpout users at a

marina, for that facility to be open and available to the public.

However, members and customers may prepay for pumpouts within a fee

structure, so that a separate fee for pumpouts would not be needed for

those members and customers.

Facility open to the public. A Clean Vessel Act facility that is

open and available to the public is one in which the public has full

and reasonable access to the pumpout/dump station at that public or

private facility for pumping out, including provisions of signage

visible from the water to direct boaters to pumpout/dump stations,

location of pumpouts to facilitate ease of use by all boats typical to

that particular marina, equitable fees, and reasonable open periods.

Private Facilities. Private facilities include those operated by

the following:

(1) For profit or non-profit private marinas, docks etc.,

(2) For profit or non-profit concessionaires, whether they are

leased or private facilities, on public lands, and

(3) Yacht or boating clubs, whether they are open to the public or

members-only facilities.

Public facilities. Public facilities include municipal, port

authority, State and Federal marinas, docks, etc., operated by those

agencies.

Reasonable open periods. While no specific hours, days and seasons

are specified, some suggested examples, provided no other factors are

involved, are presented:

(1) Pumpout/dump stations may be open during the same period the

fuel docks are normally open.

(2) Pumpout stations may be open when the marina is open and staff

is present to pump out boats.

(3) Pumpout/dump stations may be open during the hours considered

to be normal marina business hours as adjusted by seasonal differences,

and may be closed entirely during cold winter months.

* * * * *

Subpart B--Application for Grants

3. Section 85.21 is amended by adding a second sentence to the

introductory text of paragraph (a) to read as follows:

Sec. 85.21 Application procedures.

(a) * * * If coastal States submit proposals for both the coastal

zone and the inland portion of their States, two separate proposals

must be submitted.

* * * * *

Subpart C--Grant Selection

4. Section 85.30(f) is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 85.30 Grant selection criteria.

* * * * *

(f) Proposals that include an education/information component, or

the State has an active, ongoing education program;

* * * * *

Subpart D--Conditions on Use/Acceptance of Funds

5. Section 85.43 is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 85.43 Signs and symbols.

(a) Signs. Appropriate information signs should be installed at

pumpout and portable toilet dump stations. Such information should

indicate fees, restrictions, hours of operation, operating

instructions, and a contact name and telephone number if the facility

is inoperable.

(b) Pumpout symbol. (1) A pumpout symbol should be used according

to Service specifications at the appropriate times to increase public

awareness of the Clean Vessel Act Pumpout Grant Program. The symbol is

meant to be used

(i) As a sign at the entrance to a marina advertising the presence

of a pumpout and/or portable toilet dump station.

(ii) As a directional sign within a marina.

(iii) As a sign at a pumpout and/or portable toilet dump station.

(iv) As a symbol on education and informational material, and

(v) For other uses as appropriate to advance the purposes of the

Clean Vessel Act

(2) To avoid confusion with having two symbols, the selected symbol

is to be used both for pumpout stations and portable dump stations.

This pumpout symbol is not copyrighted, and its appropriate use is

encouraged. The NOAA NOS magenta ``P'' within a magenta circle will

continue to be used on nautical charts to identify the location of

pumpout and portable toilet dump stations. NOAA will include

information about the selected pumpout symbol in the U.S. Coast Pilots,

a supplement to the charts, to relate this symbol to the NOAA Nautical

Chart magenta ``P'' and circle.

(3) All recipients identified in Sec. 85.11 should display the

appropriate pumpout symbol on facilities, such as pumpout and portable

toilet dump stations, or on printed material or other visual

representations relating to project accomplishments or education/

information, and should encourage others to do so. Subrecipients should

also display the symbol and should encourage use by others for purposes

as stated in this paragraph.

(4) Other persons or organizations are encouraged to use the symbol

to

[[Page 48496]]

advance the purposes of the Clean Vessel Act program, such as marinas

with pumpout stations not constructed with Clean Vessels Act funds.

(5) The following specifications shall apply: The symbol is black,

the background is white, and the border is international orange. There

is no standard for the black and white, but use black and white colors,

not shades. The standards for the international orange color is as

follows: For day boards (signs), use retroflective international orange

film. For paint, use international orange conforming to FED-STD 595B,

chip number 12197 in daylight conditions. For inks us Pantone Matching

System color chart 179C. The symbol sign should use reflectorized film

or paint, or should be illuminated so it is viewable at night.

Currently, the symbol shown is a rough mockup. When the symbol is

finalized, the symbol will be developed on a grid and technical

specifications will be completed for constructing signs and for other

purposes.

(6) The following rules govern the graphic reproduction of the

symbols:

(i) The symbol should not be used smaller than is legible.

(ii) The size and position relationship of the symbol should not be

changed in any way.

(iii) No portion of the symbol should be obscured by overprinting.

(iv) The symbol should not be placed where it will be split by

unlike backgrounds.

(v) The symbol should not be placed on a background that is highly

textured or patterned.

(7) The pumpout symbol is depicted as follows:

BILLING CODE 4310-55-M

[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TP19SE95.005

BILLING CODE 4310-55-C

(c) Qualifying signs. (1) In conjunction with the symbol, other

qualifying signs may be used below the symbol, either on the same sign

or on a separate sign.

(i) The message ``P PUMP OUT'', ``P PUMPOUT STATION'', ``P

PORTABLE'' appropriate qualifier, may be placed beneath the symbol. The

magenta-colored ``P'' and circle should be placed in front of the

message to relate the pumpout symbol to the NOAA NOS nautical charts.

Messages may be appropriate for several years until the symbol is

understood without the message.

(ii) Directional arrows may be placed beneath the symbol to

indicate the direction of pumpout or portable toilet dump station

facilities.

(2) The following specifications shall apply: Symbols, such as

directional arrows, and letters, are black, and the background is

white. For using inks to create the magenta color, use PMS color chart

259U. Letters and black and white colors shall follow the Federal

Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for

Streets and Highways (MUTCD). FHWA, 1988. The 1988 MUTCD, including

Revision No. 3 dated September 3, 1993, may be purchased from the

Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402 and has Stock No. 050-001-00308-2.

(3) The same rules governing the graphic reproduction of the

pumpout symbol shall apply to qualifying signs.

(d) Pumpout slogan. (1) A pumpout slogan should be used according

to Service specifications to help increase awareness of the Clean

Vessel Act Pumpout Grant Program. The slogan is meant to be used in

conjunction with the pumpout symbol, on educational/informational

material, and for other uses as appropriate to advance the purposes of

the Clean Vessel Act. The slogan is not copyrighted, and its

appropriate use is encouraged.

(2) All recipients identified in Sec. 85.11 should display the

pumpout slogan on facilities, such as pumpout and portable toilet dump

stations as appropriate, and on printed material or other visual

representations relating to project accomplishments or education/

information, and should encourage others to do so. Subrecipients should

display the slogan for purposes as stated in this paragraph and should

encourage others to do so.

(3) Other persons or organizations are encouraged to use the slogan

to advance the purposes of the Clean Vessel Act program, such as

marinas with pumpout stations not constructed with Clean Vessel Act

funds.

(4) The following specifications shall apply for signs: Letters are

black and background is white. The same reference for paragraph (c)(2)

of this section shall apply.

[[Page 48497]]

(5) The same rules governing the graphic reproduction of the

pumpout symbol shall apply to the pumpout slogan.

(6) The pumpout slogan is depicted as follows:

KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN--USE PUMPOUTS

6. Section 85.47 is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 85.47 Program crediting.

(a) Crediting logo. Signs should acknowledge that the facility was

constructed or improved with funds from the Sport Fish Restoration

Account. The crediting logo identified in Sec. 80.26 of this chapter is

prescribed to identify projects funded by the Clean Vessel Act and to

identify items on which taxes and duties have been collected to support

the Act. That logo is depicted as follows:

BILLING CODE 4310-55-M

[GRAPHIC][TIFF OMITTED]TP19SE95.006

BILLING CODE 4310-55-C

(b) Recipient logo display. All recipients identified in Sec. 85.11

are authorized, according to Sec. 80.26 of this chapter, to display the

appropriate logo on facilities, such as pumpout and portable toilet

dump stations, acquired, developed, operated or maintained by these

grants, or on printed material or other visual representations relating

to project accomplishments or education/information. Recipients may

require sub-recipients to display the logo.

(c) Other display of logo. Other persons or organizations may use

the logo for purposes related to the Federal Aid Clean Vessel Act

program as authorized in Sec. 80.26 of this chapter.

(d) Crediting language. Following are suggested examples of

language to use when crediting the Clean Vessel Act:

(1) Example 1: This pumpout facility was funded under the Sport

Fish Restoration Program by your purchase of fishing equipment and

motorboat fuels.

(2) This facility is being constructed under the Sport Fish

Restoration Program by your purchase of fishing equipment and motorboat

fuels.

(3) This pamphlet was funded under the Sport Fish Restoration

Program by your purchase of fishing equipment and motorboat fuels.
