Title: Requirements for Establishing

Form Numbers:
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Background: 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

information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the

quality, utility and clarity of the

that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the
collected information. The agency will
summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.
Privacy Act: In accordance with 5
U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments

considered. If you wish to provide

confidential information, please contact
