United States Environmental Protection Agency - Non Compliant Fuel Oil registration system
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) posted instructions for use of its North American Emission Control Area (ECA) Electronic Fuel Oil Non-Availability Disclosure Portal – FOND Instructions. This form must be filled in prior to any vessel entering the US (ECA).
An owner or operator of a vessel that cannot obtain compliant fuel oil can make a fuel oil non-availability claim through submission of a Fuel Oil Non-Availability Report (FONAR).
Persons wishing to submit FONARs to the EPA must now request an electronic FONAR form through FOND and must submit completed FONARs through this same electronic portal.
