and the U.S. Army Corps of Engi- neers on the definition of "major rehabilitation." A source of contro- versy for years, the new definition will replace the earlier informal defi- nition and will set parameters for more judicious use of scarce Inland Waterways Trust Fund dollars. Of major importance, AWO will also review the current status of the controversy over Certificates of Fi- nancial Responsibility (COFRs) since the likelihood of a Coast Guard ruling requiring COFRs looms more imminently. In the regulatory arena, AWO will consider the President's ongo- ing regulatory initiative to review all existing regulations with the goal of eliminating those that hinder growth and speeding up those that stimulate economic activity. AWO has applauded President Bush's ini- tiative to take a fresh look at federal regulations that unduly increase costs and which capriciously strangle many sectors of the Ameri- can economy. On specific regulatory matters, AWO will review the Bush Administration's maritime reform proposal, will discuss recent rulemakings on natural resource damages from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and will continue its work to bring common sense to the EPA' gasoline regulations concerning reformu- lated and oxygenated gasoline. The American Waterways Ship- yard Conference will hold commit- tee meetings on Tuesday, Septem- ber 8. AWO will hold committee meetings on Wednesday, Septem- ber 9. The board of directors will meet on Thursday, September 10. For further details, contact the American Waterways Operators, 1600 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Va. 22209; or telephone: (703) 841- 9300.
