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 388.4 of MARAD's regulations at 46 CFR part 388.
