Endangered Species; Receipt of Applications for Permit, 68205-68206 [2011-28526]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 213 / Thursday, November 3, 2011 / Notices documentation of vessels, including for documentation with coastwise or fisheries trade endorsements, relies on self-certification. Because of that, it has long been the position of the Coast Guard that, when evidence of possible non-compliance is found, the burden is upon the applicant, or recipient of such privilege, to establish its qualifications. A clear statement of that obligation, offered in the context of publicly traded companies, was published at 58 FR 60256 (November 15, 1993) where it was stated at page 60259 as follows: The documentation laws are meant to be restrictive and are intended to limit the persons who are eligible to document vessels under U.S. law and acquire trading privileges. Corporations can make proof of citizenship less difficult, for instance by restricting sale of their stock to U.S. citizens, or using a transfer agent to administer a dual stock certificate system. Of course, any U.S. corporation that is unwilling to subject itself to the possibility of having to prove that it qualifies for coastwise or fisheries privileges can choose not to seek them. The Coast Guard will not be bound by any presumptions or inferences in making eligibility determinations for documentation purposes. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Against the background of this statement by the Coast Guard of the burden upon corporations to be able to prove their qualifications, as a necessary requirement of a self-certifying system for determining that U.S. citizenship standards have been met, the Coast Guard recently completed an investigation of a publicly-traded company owning vessels documented with coastwise endorsements and found that its U.S. citizenship could not be established. The report of that investigation, dated January 12, 2011, contains the Coast Guard’s findings, opinions and recommendations with respect to this issue, as pertinent to the company investigated, and can be found at https://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvdc/ nvdcreport.asp or go to the National Vessel Documentation Center home page at https://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/ nvdc/, click on ‘‘Latest News’’ on the left side of the page, then click on ‘‘Trico Investigation’’ under the dropdown menu. III. Information Requested This notice solicits information, for the benefit of the Coast Guard but also for the mutual benefit of industry, as to the mechanisms that publicly traded companies have employed, including but not limited to those mentioned in the quoted language above, to assure compliance with United States citizenship requirements. We are also requesting information on the manner in which those mechanisms function to VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:50 Nov 02, 2011 Jkt 226001 provide that assurance and, when called upon to do so, to offer proof of compliance. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against commenters that question or complain about citizenship requirements or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. This document is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 33 CFR 1.05–1. Dated: October 25, 2011. Timothy V. Skuby, Director, National Vessel Documentation Center, U.S. Coast Guard.
