SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As the lead federal agency for the licensing of offshore LNG and oil deepwater port terminals, the Maritime Administration is charged with ensuring that each facility is constructed and operated in a safe and secure manner. While LNG importation has historically had an impeccable safety record, MARAD is continually seeking additional ways to ensure the safe and secure operations of deepwater port facilities to help preserve the nation’s security, environmental resources, and energy supply, and to improve transportation efficiencies. To promote the security of the United States, Congress recently amended the Deepwater Port Act through the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–241, (2006)) to direct the Secretary (and, by delegation, the Maritime Administrator) to develop and implement a program to promote the transportation of liquefied natural gas to the United States on United States flag vessels. The Act further directed the Secretary to give top priority to the processing of deepwater port licenses to LNG facilities that will be supplied with natural gas by United States flag vessels. Further, the Act directed that the nation of registry for, and the nationality or citizenship of, officers and crew serving on board vessels transporting natural gas to a deepwater port be considered when granting a license. The enactment of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006 places a firm emphasis on the safe and secure transport of LNG to and from our nation’s facilities. In keeping with Congressional directives, MARAD seeks public comment on efforts to expand and maximize utilization of U.S. vessels and U.S. crews on LNG vessels. In addition, MARAD seeks comments on the availability of qualified officers and crew as well as the advantages of using U.S. crews. Authority: 49 CFR 1.66.
