authority. Those receiving benefits
under 46 U.S.C. Chapters 531, 535, and

seeking a fishery endorsement eligibility

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.
Respondents: Shipowners, charterers,
equity owners, ship managers, etc.
Affected Public: Business or other-forprofit.
