The document outlines a regulatory requirement for cruise vessels to maintain sewage and graywater discharge records. This has compliance implications for owners and operators of affected vessels. Non-compliance could result in penalties while adherence ensures operations in Alaskan waters. The increased burden estimate from 358 to 555 hours indicates an elevated requirement for data collection and reporting that businesses must accommodate.
