Summary

Clean Vessel Act of 1991 - Amends the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act to require coastal States to use five percent of specified funds made available to them under such Act to pay up to 75 percent of the costs of construction, renovation, or maintenance of shoreside pumpout stations for marine sanitation devices. Permits the Secretary of the Interior, if requested by the Governor of a coastal State, to waive or reduce the percentage of funds to be used for such stations if: (1) the discharge of sewage from vessels is not a significant contributor to the degradation of water quality within the State; (2) adequate stations are available to meet vessel requirements within the State; or (3) the anticipated requirements for such stations will be met with a reduced percentage requirement. Requires the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service to notify the fish and game and water pollution control authorities of each coastal State of the availability of funds to finance shoreside pumpout stations for marine sanitation devices.
