# §1043.70. General recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

- (a) Under APPS, owners and operators of Party vessels must keep records related to NOX standards and in-use fuel specifications such as the Technical File, the Engine Book of Record Parameters, and bunker delivery notes. Owners and operators of non-Party vessels must keep these records as specified in the NOX Technical Code and Regulations 13, 14, and 18 of 2008 Annex VI (incorporated by reference in [§ 1043.100](/cfr/40/1043.100.md)). We may inspect these records as allowed by APPS. As part of our inspection, we may require that the owner submit copies of these records to us.
- (b) Nothing in this part limits recordkeeping and reporting the Secretary may require, nor does it preclude the Secretary from providing copies of any records to EPA.
- (c) Nothing in this part limits the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable with respect to engines and vessels subject to [40 CFR part 1042](/cfr/40/part1042.md) or with respect to fuels subject to [40 CFR part 1090](/cfr/40/part1090.md).
- (d) This [paragraph (d)](#d) applies for vessels that are excluded from Regulation 13 of Annex VI and the NOX-related requirements of this part under § [1043.10(a)(2)](/cfr/40/1043.10.md?p=a-2) or [(b)(3)](/cfr/40/1043.10.md?p=b-3) because they operate only domestically. Where the vessel operator has fuel receipts (or equivalent records) for the preceding three years showing it operated using only fuels meeting the specifications of [40 CFR part 1090](/cfr/40/part1090.md) for distillate fuel, they are deemed to be in full compliance with the fuel recordkeeping requirements and prohibitions of this part and Annex VI.
