The response to the collection is voluntary. Persons (current U.S.- flag vessel operators and builders) desiring waiver of the coastwise trade laws affecting small passenger vessels may file a written application and justification for waiver to the Maritime Administration (MARAD). Respondents can submit an application on Form MA-1023 (which is available on MARAD’s website at www.marad.dot.gov under Programs, Small Vessel Waiver Program) or they may submit information in any format they desire. The information that would be reported and maintained in records are Small Vessel Application and Official Letter. These are publicly available in the docket maintained at regulations.gov. The collection frequency is on an as need basis. The information will be used by the Maritime Administration to determine if the applicant is entitled to a waiver to ensure the foreign vessel will not have an undue adverse effect on a current U.S. vessel operator or builder.
