[Docket No. 2013–0156]
Determination of Availability of
Coastwise Qualified Vessels for the
Transportation of a Platform Jacket
Maritime Administration,
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
As authorized by 46 U.S.C.
55108, the Secretary of Transportation,
as represented by the Maritime
Administration (MARAD), is authorized
to make determinations permitting the
use of a foreign launch barge in support
of a Platform Jacket launch operation if
no suitable coastwise qualified vessels
are found to be available. A complete
description of the process for
determining the availability of coastwise
qualified vessels for the transportation
of Platform Jackets, including
definitions and requirements, can be
found at 46 CFR part 389.
In order for MARAD to determine
whether a suitable coastwise qualified
vessel is available, this notice in the
Federal Register requests that
comments and information on the
availability of coastwise qualified
vessels for a Platform Jacket launch be
submitted within 30 days of this
notice’s publication. Our goal is to
provide a final determination within 90
days of the publication of this notice,
unless a suitable coastwise qualified
vessel operator comes forward with a
vessel and additional time is needed for
negotiation. If, after the comment

period, we determine that a suitable
coastwise qualified vessel is not
available for the specific project
requested, a determination of nonavailability will be issued allowing a
foreign launch barge to load, transport
and launch the Platform Jacket.
DATES: Please submit information
regarding suitable and available
coastwise qualified vessels for the
transportation of this Platform Jacket no
later than January 27, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All
relevant information reasonably
necessary to assess the transportation
requirements for the Platform Jacket is
available upon request to owners,
operators and representatives of
coastwise qualified vessels or other
interested parties.
Walter Oil & Gas Corporation is
seeking MARAD’s permission to use a
foreign launch barge in transporting and
launching a Platform Jacket on the Outer
Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Platform Jacket will be loaded at a
facility to be determined along the Gulf
of Mexico coast and will be unloaded at
a point in the Ewing Bank Area on the
Outer Continental Shelf of the Gulf of
Mexico. The projected transportation
will occur during the period of
September through December 2015. The
Platform Jacket has a total height of
1,223 feet, a vertical height of 1,211 feet,
and a weight of 27,679 long tons. The
Platform Jacket is 45 feet by 150 feet at
the top and 330 feet by 330 feet at the
bottom. If MARAD cannot identify an
PO 00000

available coastwise qualified vessel
suitable for this project within 30 days
of the publication of this notice,
MARAD is authorized to make a
determination of non-availability and
allow the use of a foreign launch barge
to load, transport and launch the
Platform Jacket.
If a coastwise qualified vessel
operator expresses interest, MARAD
will review the availability assertion
and will facilitate discussions between
the coastwise qualified vessel operator
and the Platform Jacket owner requiring
transportation service. MARAD
determinations under this notice shall
be limited solely to Walter Oil & Gas
Corporation’s request and shall have no
precedential effect on other
transportation under 46 U.S.C. Chapter
551.
Authority: 46 U.S.C. 55108; 46 CFR 389.5.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title—Evaluation of a New Child
Pedestrian Curriculum.
Type of Review—Regular.
OMB Clearance Number—None.
Form Number—NHTSA Forms 1215,
1216, and 1217.
Respondents—All K–5 students in
two test schools and two comparison
schools will be surveyed. The project
will conduct a survey of parents or other
student caregivers for both the test and
comparison schools. Only one caregiver
per student will complete the survey.
An Internet-based survey of all
instructors and administrators at the test
and comparison schools is included.
Estimated Number of Respondents—
2,000 students; 2,000 caregivers; 200
instructors and school staff.
Estimated Time per Response—5
minutes per student survey; 5 minutes
per caregiver survey; 5 minutes per
instructor/staff survey.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours—516.67 hours (total for the
study).
Frequency of Collection—Student
surveys will take place twice; once
before curriculum implementation and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

once after implementation is complete.
Caregiver and instructor/staff surveys
will take place once—after curriculum
implementation.
Abstract—Schools and broader
communities around the country have
been working to foster a generation of
healthy, active children. Children and
adults alike are being encouraged to
walk as a way to get some of the
physical activity we all need. Schools
have taken up the challenge to help
equip students with the skills they need
to be safe pedestrians throughout their
lifetimes. The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
developed a new Child Pedestrian
Safety Curriculum to teach and
encourage safe pedestrian behaviors for
students at the elementary school level
(grades K–5). The overall goal of the
curriculum is to aid elementary age
school children in developing age
appropriate traffic safety knowledge and
practical pedestrian safety skills. The
curriculum is organized into five
lessons that target key areas of
pedestrian safety and are designed to
meet national learning standards. The
participating schools are located in the
State of North Carolina because North
Carolina included the NHTSA
curriculum as part of its Let’s Go NC
pedestrian and bicycle safety school
curriculum.
The study has two objectives: (1) to
evaluate how implementation of the
curriculum is achieved by schools,
instructors, and caregivers as a means of
developing best practice guidance; and
(2) to assess the effectiveness of the
curriculum in instilling correct
knowledge and behaviors in young
pedestrians. To achieve these objectives,
the study is conducting in-person oral
surveys of students, a paper-and-pencil
self-report survey of the students’
caregivers, and an Internet-based survey
of instructors and other staff at two
schools implementing the curriculum
and two similar comparison schools in
the same school district that are not
implementing the curriculum. The
study will also collect behavioral
observations of students to determine if
behaviors have changed relative to the
implementation of the curriculum. No
personal information will be collected
that would allow any respondent to be
identified.
Comments Are Invited On: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department of
Transportation, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; ways to enhance

the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. A comment to OMB is most
effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication of this notice.
