announce the cancellation of an
Environmental Assessment (EA) that
they previously planned as a follow-up
to MARAD’s approval of the license
application for the Port Pelican LLC
Deepwater Port in the Gulf of Mexico off
Louisiana. The EA would have assessed
the environmental impact of related
shoreside fabrication site activities in
Texas. The Coast Guard and MARAD

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
November 14, 2003, the Maritime
Administrator issued a Record of
Decision (ROD) approving the
application of Port Pelican LLC for a
license to construct and operate a
liquefied natural gas deepwater port on
the Outer Continental Shelf, in the Gulf
of Mexico approximately 36 miles
south-southwest of Freshwater City, LA.
As indicated in the deepwater port?s
final Environmental Impact Statement
(notice of availability, 68 FR 52048,
August. 29, 2003) and in the ROD, the
deepwater port would use concrete
structures prefabricated at a shoreside
site and approval of the deepwater port
license application was conditioned on
Coast Guard and MARAD issuance of a
supplemental National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) document to
assess the impact of the shoreside
fabrication site activities. On June 25,
2004, the Coast Guard and MARAD
announced their intent to prepare that
EA.
Port Pelican LLC has now informed
the Coast Guard and MARAD that it will
not pursue its plans for the Port Aransas
site at this time, and therefore the Coast
Guard and MARAD are canceling their
plans for the supplemental EA. The
Coast Guard and MARAD will publicly
announce resumption of NEPA
document preparation should Port
Pelican LLC elect to resume its plans for
shoreside fabrication activities.

Notice of Fee Waiver.
SUMMARY: On August 29, 2005,
Hurricane Katrina devastated the
coastlines of Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama. The Regional Examination
Center (REC) at New Orleans, which
serves 14% of mariners nation-wide and
reflects about 29,000 mariners in those
three states, was completely flooded,
destroying vital records and equipment,
and rendering the facility temporarily
inoperable. Since mariners in the area
may also have lost their credentials in
the storm and subsequent flooding, the
Coast Guard is hereby implementing
temporary measures to relieve some
hardship on mariners in the Gulf coast
area who need replacement credentials.
This Notice is effective October
4, 2005.
DATES:
If
you have questions on this notice, call
Mr. Donald J. Kerlin, Deputy Director,
Coast Guard National Maritime Center
(NMC), (202) 493–1006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mariners
whose homes of record are in the states
of Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama as
confirmed by the Coast Guard’s
merchant mariner licensing and
documentation system (MMLD), and
have lost their merchant mariner’s
document (MMD), merchant mariner’s
license, or certificate of registry (COR)
(collectively referred to as
‘‘credentials’’) may apply at any REC to
receive a duplicate credential that will
bear the same expiration date and
qualifications as the original credential
that was lost. Until February 28, 2006,
the fee usually charged for the issuance
of duplicate credentials, will be waived.
Additionally, any mariner who applied
for a duplicate credential between
August 29, 2005 and the publication of
this Notice, and paid any fee may apply
for a refund at the issuing REC. This
waiver only applies to duplicate
credentials that replace credentials held
before the hurricane. It does not apply
to routine renewals or transactions that
enhance the mariner’s authority (raises
of grade). Also, all other provisions and
requirements in Title 46, Code of
Federal Regulations (46 CFR) 10.219
and 12.02–23 still apply.
Since REC New Orleans is expected to
remain closed for approximately six
months or more, additional resources
are being allocated to RECs Memphis,
Houston, Miami and Charleston.
Mariners may also seek help at any of
the other 12 RECs around the country,
a list of which appears at 46 CFR 10.105
and 12.01–7. You may also call Mr.
Kerlin for assistance at the number
