Management Manual
1. This ALCOAST reestablishes the process set forth in REF (A),
beginning 05 Jan 2025, for the Initial, Resolution, and Closure
Notification(s) of environmental enforcement actions (EEAs) to COMDT
(CG-47). These notifications are necessary for COMDT (CG-47) to
fulfill the three-business day and annual reporting requirements
specified in REFs (B) and (C). The policies and processes outlined
herein will be included in the forthcoming Environmental Compliance
Program Commandant Instruction which is currently under development.
2. EEAs include any notification from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency or other authorized federal, state, local, or
regional environmental regulatory authorities regarding an alleged
violation of an applicable environmental requirement by a CG unit.
3. Unit Commanders, Commanding Officers, Officers in Charge, or
their designee will submit email notification of all EEAs to COMDT
(CG-47) according to the following policy:
     a. Initial Notification: Immediately upon receipt of the EEA;
     b. Resolution Notification: Within five (5) business days of
completing correcting action to resolve the EEA; and
     c. Closure Notification: Within five (5) business days of receipt
of the official EEA closure documentation.
4. An Initial EEA is any cited noncompliance (also known as an
alleged violation) where the Coast Guard has not yet completed the
necessary corrective action to resolve the noncompliance. Resolution
means that the Coast Guard has taken the necessary corrective action
to resolve the alleged violation including payment of any civil
monetary penalty. Closure of an EEA occurs when the Coast Guard unit
receives written notification from the regulatory agency that the
regulatory agency has received and accepted the EEA resolution.
5. Coast Guard units must submit the email notifications required in
Paragraph (3) to COMDT (CG-47) via email at:
EnvironmentalCompliance@uscg.mil. The following entities shall be
copied on this EEA email notification: Shore Infrastructure
Logistics Center Environmental Management Division (SILC EMD) at
