EPA - Coast Guard Discussions
Guardians,
On Monday morning I hosted EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and her senior advisor, Robert Perciasepe, for a breakfast meeting at Coast Guard Headquarters. Joining me was Deputy Commandant for Operations, RADM Sally Brice-O'Hara and RDML Kevin Cook. This is the second meeting with Administrator Jackson and continues the extensive collaboration between our organizations. Issues for discussion included our current ballast water rulemaking, EPA's vessel general permit rule, invasive species, renewable energy projects, LNG permitting, the upcoming Spill of National Significance exercise to be held in New England next year, special emission control areas established under IMO's MARPOL Annex VI, and the current efforts of the President's Interagency Task Force on Ocean Policy. We thank Administrator Jackson for her leadership and continued partnership with the Coast Guard.
