SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Requirements for
Establishing U.S. Citizenship—46 CFR
Parts 355 and 356.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2133–0012.
Form Numbers: None.
Expiration Date of Approval: Three
years from date of approval by the
Office of Management and Budget.
Summary of Collection of
Information: Maritime Administration
implementing regulations at 46 CFR
Parts 355 and 356 set forth requirements
for establishing U.S. citizenship in
accordance with MARAD statutory
authority. Those receiving benefits
under 46 U.S.C. chapters 531, 535, and
537 (formerly the Merchant Marine Act,
1936, as amended), or applicants
seeking a fishery endorsement eligibility
approval pursuant to the American
Fisheries Act must be citizens of the
United States within the meaning of 46
U.S.C. 50501, (formerly Section 2 of the
Shipping Act, 1916, as amended). In
either case, whether seeking program
benefits or fishery endorsement
eligibility, Section 50501 sets forth the
statutory requirements for determining
whether an applicant, be it a
corporation, partnership, or association
is a U.S. citizen. 46 CFR part 356 is
distinguished from 46 CFR part 355 in
that part 356 establishes requirements
for U.S. citizenship exclusively in
accordance with the AFA while part 355
is applied for purposes of establishing
citizenship across multiple MARAD
programs arising under other statutory
authority. Most program participants are
required to submit to MARAD on an
annual basis the form of affidavit
prescribed by part 355 or part 356.
Need and Use of the Information:
MARAD will review the Affidavits of
U.S. Citizenship to determine if the
applicants are eligible to participate in
the programs offered by the agency or to
receive a MARAD fishery endorsement
eligibility approval.
Description of Respondents: The
Affidavits of U.S. Citizenship are filed
with MARAD by shipowners, trustees,
ship mortgagees, charterers, equity
owners, ship managers, etc.
