Background: By notice in the Federal
Register dated January 10, 2008 (Vol.
73, No. 7, PP. 1912–1913), the Maritime
Administration announced the
establishment of a new grant program to
provide assistance to small shipyards.
The notice stated that the grants are for
‘‘* * * capital improvements, and

the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
quality of domestic ship construction
for commercial and Federal Government
use.’’ The notice also specified

part for information as to how the
proposed project ‘‘ * * * will facilitate
the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
quality of domestic ship construction
for commercial and Federal Government
use.’’ Item No. 7 asks for ‘‘most recent

forth above is amended to read that the
grants are for ‘‘* * * capital
improvements, and related
infrastructure improvements at qualified
shipyards that will facilitate the
efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and

pertinent part to request information
concerning how the project ‘‘* * * will
facilitate the efficiency, costeffectiveness, and quality of domestic
ship construction, ship conversion, and/

following sentence: ‘‘If audited financial
statements are not available, compiled
financial statements by an independent
Certified Public Accountant should be
submitted.’’
