Voluntary Intermodal Sealift
Agreement; Changes to the Open
Season Enrollment Period
Maritime Administration,
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Maritime Administration
(MARAD) announces that it is changing
the open season enrollment procedures
for U.S.-flag vessel operators wishing to
enroll their vessels in the Voluntary
Intermodal Sealift Agreement (VISA)
program. Specifically, MARAD will no
longer announce an annual open season
for enrollment. MARAD invites
interested U.S.-flag vessel operators that
are not currently in the program to
apply at any time throughout the year.
The open enrollment change will be in
line with new requirements in the
Department of Defense (DOD) VISA
contingency contract.
Any U.S.-flag vessel operator
organized under the laws of a state of
the United States or the District of
Columbia, and who is able and willing
to commit militarily useful sealift assets
and assume the related consequential
risks of commercial disruption, may be
eligible to participate in the VISA
program.
The mission of VISA is to provide
commercial sealift and intermodal
shipping services and systems,
including access to vessels, vessel
space, intermodal systems and
equipment, terminal facilities, and
related management services, to the
DOD, as necessary, to meet national
defense contingency requirements or
national emergencies. Carriers enrolled
in the VISA program provide DOD with
assured access to such services during
contingencies. In return for their VISA
commitment, DOD gives VISA
