(A) For the purposes of this subdivision the

"Commerical boatyard" means a facility that engages for hire in
the construction, storage, maintenance, repair, or refurbishing of
vessels.
"Release rate" means the rate at which a tributyltin compound
is released from an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin compound over
the long term, as measured using:
(1)
The American Society for Testing Material (ASTM) standard test method which the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency required in its July 29, 1986, data
call-in notice on tributyltin compounds used in antifouling paints;
or
(2) Any alternative method
adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and published in the
Federal Register.
"Tributyltin compound" means any organotin compound that has
three normal butyl groups attached to a tin atom and with or without an anion,
such as chloride, fluoride, oxide.
"Vessel" means every description of watercraft, other than a
seaplane on water, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation
on water.
(B) A
person may distribute or sell an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin
