6.2 運用承認活動
（1）「活性物質を使用するバラスト水管理システムの承認に関する手順（G9）」の基本承認の申請書の作成と提出（4月12日）
スペシャルパイプ・ハイブリッド方式のように、バラスト水管理システムにオゾン等の活性物質を使用する場合には、G9ガイドラインに基づいたIMOによる承認が必要である。
G9ガイドラインの承認は、G8ガイドラインの陸上試験や船上試験での活性物質承認を与える基本承認と、G8ガイドライン陸上試験の排出水の状況を基にして最終的な活性物質使用の承認を与える2段階の承認が必要となっている。すなわち、G8ガイドラインに基づく承認の取得活動のためには、G9ガイドラインの基本承認が不可欠であり、承認活動全てのスタートとなる。
本事業では、この規定に基づいて、G9ガイドラインの基本承認に必要な情報収集・整理と毒性試験等を実施し、基本承認の申請書（非公開）を作成した。そして、2006年10月のMEPC55での承認を受けるべく、2006年4月12日に申請書をIMOに提出した。
以下には、申請書の公開版あるMEPC提案文書（MEPC55/2、日本提案）を添付する。

Introduction
1 The Ballast Water Management Convention (BWM Convention), in its regulation D-3, provides that Ballast Water Management systems, which make use of Active Substances to comply with the Convention, shall be approved by IMO based on a procedure developed by the Organization.
2 MEPC 53 adapted, by resolution MEPC.126(53), the “Procedure for approval of Ballast Water Management Systems that make use of Active Substances (G9)”. Section 8 of the Procedure sets out the methodology to be followed for the approval of Active Substances and requests IMO to establish a Technical Group (the GESAMP - Ballast Water Working Group) to review the proposals submitted by Administrations and report to the Organization on its findings.
3 MEPC 54 agreed to invite Members to submit their proposals for approval (application dossiers) and the non-confidential description of the systems for MEPC 55, by Friday. 21 April 2006 (MEPC 54/21, paragraph 2.24).
4 This document contains non-confidential information regarding Special Pipe Ballast Water Management System (combined with Ozone treatment) developed by the Japan Association of Marine Safety (JAMS). This system holds excellence in treatment capability. is safe not only to ships and crew but also to the environment and uses Ozone generated on board the ships as an Active Substance. A brief introduction of this system has been provided in annex 2 of document MEPC 54/2/9.
5 The application dossier together with relevant documents indicated in the circular regarding the second meeting of the GESAMP-BWWG (BWM 2/Circ.4) will be submitted to Marine Environment Division of the Organization to be reviewed by the Group in accordance with the provisions of resolution MEPC.126(53).
Action requested of the Committee
6 The Committee is invited to consider the proposal for approval of the Active Substances used by Special Pipe Ballast Water Management System (combined with Ozone treatment) for ballast water management.
