Background
The Nation’s Marine Transportation
System (MTS) is a core component of
the United States’ economic and
national security. While it has proven to
be strong and resilient, the MTS faces
many challenges to its future success.
Among these challenges are aging
infrastructure, declining public sector
investment, landside congestion,
increased environmental sensitivity, a
projected 25 percent growth in
population over the next 35 years, and
general lack of awareness by the public
and key policy makers of the
importance of the MTS to the Nation’s
prosperity and security. These factors
have a cumulative impact on U.S. deep
water and inland ports, domestic cargo
shipping (between U.S. ports in
coastwise trade, on the Great Lakes and
inland rivers and waterways, and
between the mainland and noncontiguous U.S. territories), on U.S.
shipyards, on off-shore energy
development, and on the MTS’ ability to
meet environmental sustainability
requirements. In January, MARAD
hosted a multi-day public meeting
focused on cargo opportunities and
sealift capacity, with an overall
objective of increasing the number of
VerDate Mar<15>2010

U.S.-flag ships operating in
international trade. The purpose of the
public MARAD/MTSNAC meeting in
May is to identify domestic maritime
opportunities that can be incorporated
into a National Maritime Strategy to
guide public and private Marine
Transportation activities into the future.
The results of this second symposium
will be considered along with those
from the January 2014 symposium to
help shape the National Maritime
Strategy being developed by MARAD.
The principal focus areas will include
the following:
1. All U.S. Ports, which includes the
fifty States, District of Columbia, Guam,
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, Northern Mariana
Islands, and any other territory or
possession of the United States.
2. Domestic Shipping: All cargoes
moving between U.S. ports and offshore platforms by tugs and barges,
ships, and other vessels along the
coasts, between contiguous and noncontiguous U.S. ports, on inland rivers,
waterways, and the Great Lakes.
3. U.S. Shipyards: Includes all aspects
of the industrial base used in the
construction, modification, repair, and
disposal of cargo-carrying ships, tugs,
towboats, and barges for domestic, offshore, and international U.S. flag trade.
In addition, the following two crosscutting themes will be addressed in the
context of the above three areas:
1. Environmental Compliance and
Maritime Energy Use: Compliance with
existing and future environmental
requirements, and the related topic of
vessel energy use for propulsion and inport electrical power.
2. Labor: All labor issues as they
relate to the above three topic areas.
Suggestions from the public for
proposals and agenda topics relating to
the above domestic maritime topic areas
are being solicited by the Maritime

Respondents: NHTSA proposes to
conduct a survey of young drivers ages
16 through 20 concerning traffic safety
issues affecting young people in that age
range. The survey would use Web as the
primary response mode and mail as a
second response mode. Prior to the
survey, there will be usability tests of
the Web and paper versions of the
questionnaires to identify any problems
in the interface between survey and
respondent. The usability tests will be
conducted with a convenience sample
of young drivers having varying
demographic characteristics. There also
will be a pilot test of the survey. The
pilot test will be conducted with a
sample of young drivers ages 16 through
20 drawn from the driver license
database of one State that has agreed to
participate in the survey. Full
administration of the survey will be
conducted with samples of young
drivers ages 16 through 20 drawn from
the driver license databases of eight
States that have agreed to participate in
the survey.
