[Docket No. MARAD-2011-0103]
Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws
AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Invitation for public comments on a requested administrative
waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel LEONESSA.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: As authorized by 46 U.S.C. 12121, the Secretary of
Transportation, as represented by the Maritime Administration (MARAD),
is authorized to grant waivers of the U.S.-build requirement of the
coastwise laws under certain circumstances. A request for such a waiver
has been received by MARAD. The vessel, and a brief description of the
proposed service, is listed below. The complete application is given in
DOT docket MARAD-2011-0103 at http://www.regulations.gov. Interested
parties may comment on the effect this action may have on U.S. vessel
builders or businesses in the U.S. that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD
determines, in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and MARAD's regulations
at 46 CFR part 388, that the issuance of the waiver will have an unduly
adverse effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a business that uses U.S.-
flag vessels in that business, a waiver will not be granted. Comments
should refer to the docket number of this notice and the vessel name in
order for MARAD to properly consider the comments. Comments should also
state the commenter's interest in the waiver application, and address
the waiver criteria given in Sec. 388.4 of MARAD's regulations at 46
CFR part 388.
DATES: Submit comments on or before September 19, 2011.
