Over 18 million American recreational boats could soon be required to
comply with a
new permit system if Congress does not pass the Clean
Boating Act of 2008 before September 30th. Due to a 2006 U.S. District
Court decision, the federal Environmental Protection Agency is required
to design and implement a discharge permit system for
every vessel in
the country before September 30, 2008.
Current federal legislation,
Senate Bill #2766 and House Bill #5949 "The Clean Boating Act" would
reinstate a 35-year permit exemption for recreational boats. If
legislation does not pass in the next 4 months, all of the boats that
you own or sail will need a special permit, regardless of size or type.
The National Marine
Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and BoatU.S. are spear-heading efforts
in Washington D.C. to pass this legislation, but every boater's voice
is critical right now to successfully pass this bill. "Time is short,
Congress is distracted, and we must get
this legislation moved in order
to beat the clock," says Margaret Podlich, Vice President
of Government
Affairs for BoatU.S. and a US SAILING member.
