The TSP will provide a stipend to tanker operators of U.S.-flagged vessels that meet certain qualifications. Congress appropriated $60,000,000 for the TSP in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022, Public Law 117–269, to remain available until expended. Authorized payments to participating operators are limited to $6 million per ship, per fiscal year and are subject to annual appropriations. Participating operators will be required to make their commercial transportation resources available upon request of the SecDef during times of war or national emergency. Application Criteria Section 53403(b)(2)(A) of title 46, United States Code directs the Secretary in consultation with the SecDef to consider applicant vessel qualifications as they relate to 46 CFR 294.9 and give priority to applications based on the following criteria: (1) Vessel capabilities, as established by SecDef; (2) Applicant’s record of vessel ownership and operation of tanker vessels; and (3) Applicant’s citizenship, with preference for Section 50501 Citizens. Vessel Requirements Acceptable vessels for a TSP Operating Agreement must meet the requirements of 46 U.S.C. 53402(b) and 46 CFR 294.9.

Preference will be given to vessels that can transport the most fuel at the shallowest draft. • Sustained service speed of at least 14 knots, with higher speeds preferred. • Carry only clean refined products. • Capable of carrying more than two separated grades of refined petroleum products with double valve protection between tanks. Additionally, the vessel must meet the standards of 46 U.S.C. 53401(4). National Security Requirements The applicants chosen to receive a TSP Operating Agreement will be required to enter into an Emergency Preparedness Agreement (EPA) under 46 U.S.C. 53407, or such other agreement as may be approved by the Secretaries.

An applicant proposing a foreign-flag vessel must demonstrate the vessel owner’s intent to have the vessel so documented and must demonstrate that the vessel is so documented by the time the applicant enters into a TSP Operating Agreement for the vessel. Proof of U.S. Coast Guard vessel documentation and all relevant charter and management agreements for a chosen vessel must be approved by MARAD before the vessel will be eligible to receive TSP payments.
