IV. Request for Comments
Background
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

John N. Cobb, decommissioned
August 13, 2008, had been an active
research vessel for 58 years. The
National Historic Preservation Act of
1966 requires that federal properties
meeting historical criteria are to be
recognized as historical assets. As a
result of John N. Cobb’s length of
service, significant contributions to the
community and historic architectural
design, the vessel has been determined
eligible and is scheduled to make the
National Register of Historic Places
spring of 2009. Upon being determined
eligible, the vessel became subject to

rules and regulations described in 36
CFR Part 800: Protection of Historic
Properties–The Section 106 Process.
Seattle Central Community College:
Seattle Maritime Academy is an eligible
recipient of John N. Cobb under the
Stevenson-Wydler Technology and
Innovation Act of 1980 and
consequently submitted a request for the
vessel to the Commanding Officer,
Marine Operations Center–Pacific. This
request includes a strategy for continued
use and preservations of the vessel. The
Office of Marine and Aviation
Operations is confident the Academy
possesses the necessary resources to
continue the preservation effort. Seattle
Maritime Academy is a reputable
organization and will likely serve John
N. Cobb well in future sea going years.
Prior to transferring the vessel to Seattle
Maritime Academy, NOAA, the
Washington State Historic Preservation
Office and the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation will establish a
memorandum of agreement including
preservation covenants.
