4.
b.
(cont'd)
numbers
and
locations
of batteries
which
have
been
lost
into
the
environment.
In
addition,
recovery
of
lost
batteries is
made
more
difficult
and
time-
consuming
due to
the
lack
of
such
a
system.
c.
The
Coast
Guard
is
undertaking
this
effort
in
order
to g
beyond
the
minimum
legal
requirements
and ensure
that
all
ATON batteries in
use
can be
accounted
for
until
they
are
released
from
Coast
Guard
control
for
disposal or
recycling.
The
use
of
the
system
provides
greater
protection
for
Coast
Guard
personnel
against
personal
liability
which
may
be imposed
for
violation
of
environmental
laws.
The
ability
to
adequately
respond to
regulator
inquiries
when
a
battery
is
discovered
in
the
environment
is of great
value
in
protecting
our
personnel
from
accusations of
illegal
battery
"dumping."
d.
Batteries
will be
identified
through
the
use
of
Coast
Guard
generated
serial
numbers.
Responsibility
for
maintaining
the
records
tracking
system
rests
with
the
unit
exercising
custody
or
control
over
the
battery.
Given
that
Coast
Guard
units
use
a
variety
of
battery
procurement
and disposal
methods,
the
system
will
require
some
flexibility
and
follow-on
tracking
as a
battery
makes
its
way
into
a
successor
unit's
custody.
The
system
requires
the
use
of a
battery
log
(paper or
electronic)
which
tracks
individual
batteries and
appropriate
property
transfer
documents
(i.e.,
DD-
1348 and
DD-1149)
which
ultimately
release
control
of
the
batteries
for
disposal or
recycling.
5.
PROCEDURES.
a.
All
AtoN
units
that
install/service
batteries will be
required
to
maintain
a
Battery
Accountability
Log.
The
new
Aids
to
Navigation
Information
System
(ATONIS
2.0),
scheduled
for
Coast
Guard-wide
implementation
in
FY95,
will
contain
fields
for
servicing
units
to
enter
battery
tracking
data.
The
data
will be
transmitted
electronically
to
district
offices
who
will be
responsible
for
maintaining
the
historical
file.
Until
ATONIS
is
implemented,
hand
written
or
electronic
(document
designer or
spreadsheet)
logs
are
required.
b.
An
initial
supply
of
serialized
decals,
i.e.
01-00001,
will be
supplied
to
each
district
late
in
FY94.
Blocks
of
sequential
numbers
will be
assigned
to
individual
units
by
the
district
office.
Decals will be
affixed
to
the
battery
near
the
negative
terminal.
Care
should
be
taken
not
to
cover
the
charge
indicator
on
the
Delco
manufactured
battery.
