NoticeTransportation DepartmentMaritime Administration
MARAD invites public comments on its intention to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection OMB 2133- 0011 (War Risk Insurance, Applications, and Related Information) is used to obtain war risk insurance from the U.S. Government, when such insurance is unavailable on reasonable terms from the commercial market. The program is mutually beneficial to the U.S. and the ship owner, in that it assures continued flow of essential U.S. trade and provides protection for the ship owner from loss by risks of war. MARAD is required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.

Proposed RuleTransportation DepartmentMaritime Administration
MARAD proposes to revise its regulations governing the filing of applications and administration of Capital Construction Fund (CCF) Program accounts. The proposed rule would (i) conform the regulations to recent statutory amendments extending CCF Program application to all U.S. built vessels engaged in United States domestic or foreign commerce, (ii) eliminate limitations on CCF Program availability to certain geographic trades, (iii) clarify the maximum allowable completion time for reconstruction projects, and (iv) provide for funds to be used for acquisitions under certain circumstances. In addition, the NPRM proposes a mechanism to terminate inactive accounts, accounts with a zero balance, and accounts where a CCF Program objective has failed to commence within a 10-year period. The proposed rule would also correct numerous citations, modernize text, update agency contact information, and remove obsolete references.
