Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 7, 2009 / Notices by the David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control System Command Center’s Airport Reservation Office (ARO). Additional information on procedures for obtaining a reservation will be available via the Internet at https:// www.fly.faa.gov/ecvrs. 4. Three (3) reservations are available per hour for unscheduled operations at LaGuardia. The ARO will assign reservations on a 30-minute basis. 5. The ARO receives and processes all reservation requests. Reservations are assigned on a ‘‘first-come, first-served’’ basis, determined as of the time that the ARO receives the request. A cancellation of any reservation that will not be used as assigned is required. 6. Filing a request for a reservation does not constitute the filing of an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan, as separately required by regulation. After the reservation is obtained, an IFR flight plan can be filed. The IFR flight plan must include the reservation number in the ‘‘remarks’’ section. 7. Air Traffic Control will accommodate declared emergencies without regard to reservations. Nonemergency flights in direct support of national security, law enforcement, military aircraft operations, or public use aircraft operations will be accommodated above the reservation limits with the prior approval of the Vice President, System Operations Services, Air Traffic Organization. Procedures for obtaining the appropriate reservation for such flights are available via the Internet at https:// www.fly.faa.gov/ecvrs. 8. Notwithstanding the limits in paragraph four, if the Air Traffic Organization determines that air traffic control, weather, and capacity conditions are favorable and significant delay is not likely, the FAA can accommodate additional reservations over a specified period. Unused Operating Authorizations can also be temporarily made available for unscheduled operations. Reservations for additional operations are obtained through the ARO. 9. Reservations cannot be bought, sold, or leased. DATES: Comments are due on October 19, 2009. Issued in Washington, DC, on October 1, 2009. J. Randolph Babbitt, Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration. [FR Doc. E9–24120 Filed 10–2–09; 11:15 am] The CPA requires that federal agencies take ‘‘necessary and practicable’’ steps to ensure that privately-owned U.S.-flag vessels transport at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage of cargo sponsored under Federal programs ‘‘(computed separately for dry bulk carriers, dry cargo liners, and tankers) * * * to the extent such vessels are available at fair and reasonable rates for commercial vessels of the United States, in a manner that will ensure a fair and reasonable participation of commercial vessels of the United States in those cargoes by geographic areas.’’ 46 U.S.C. 55305(b). An additional 25 percent of gross tonnage of certain food assistance programs is to be transported in accordance with the requirements of 46 U.S.C. 55314. The MOU referenced above, as well as an accompanying explanatory notice, were published by MARAD in the Federal Register on September 15, 2009. The MOU adopts standards and procedures to be used to classify the vessels transporting preference cargo. This Notice marks the first use of those standards and procedures. Owners and operators of the vessels listed below have submitted applications to selfdesignate their ships as either dry bulk vessels or as dry cargo liners. Each vessel has been assigned a separate docket containing the materials submitted. Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding these vessels to the appropriate docket no later than 5 p.m. EDT on October 19, 2009. Commentators are advised to address their comments to the servicebased criteria listed in the September 15 Federal Register notice that will determine the ultimate classification of each vessel.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 4, 2009, the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), the United States Department of Transportation's
Maritime Administration (MARAD), and the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) regarding the proper implementation of the Cargo
Preference Act (CPA). That MOU, inter alia, establishes procedures and
standards by which owners and operators of oceangoing cargo ships may
seek to designate each of their vessels as either a dry bulk carrier or
a dry cargo liner, according to specified service-based criteria. This
Notice both announces that MARAD has received such self-designation
applications for particular vessels from their owners and operators,
and invites comments thereon from interested parties. MARAD will
thereafter consider all the information submitted in support of a
requested self-designation and other evidence in the record in reaching
its own decision on the appropriate vessel classification.

DATES: Comments are due on October 19, 2009.

Background

The CPA requires that federal agencies take ``necessary and
practicable'' steps to ensure that privately-owned U.S.-flag vessels
transport at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage of cargo sponsored
under Federal programs ``(computed separately for dry bulk carriers,
dry cargo liners, and tankers) * * * to the extent such vessels are
available at fair and reasonable rates for commercial vessels of the
United States, in a manner that will ensure a fair and reasonable
participation of commercial vessels of the United States in those
cargoes by geographic areas.'' 46 U.S.C. 55305(b). An additional 25
percent of gross tonnage of certain food assistance programs is to be
transported in accordance with the requirements of 46 U.S.C. 55314.
The MOU referenced above, as well as an accompanying explanatory
notice, were published by MARAD in the Federal Register on September
15, 2009. The MOU adopts standards and procedures to be used to
classify the vessels transporting preference cargo. This Notice marks
the first use of those standards and procedures. Owners and operators
of the vessels listed below have submitted applications to self-
designate their ships as either dry bulk vessels or as dry cargo
liners. Each vessel has been assigned a separate docket containing the
materials submitted. Interested persons are invited to submit comments
regarding these vessels to the appropriate docket no later than 5 p.m.
EDT on October 19, 2009. Commentators are advised to address their
comments to the service-based criteria listed in the September 15
Federal Register notice that will determine the ultimate classification
of each vessel.
