Maritime Administration September 17, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) invites public comments on our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The proposed collection OMB 2133-0029 (Shipbuilding Orderbook and Shipyard Employment) is used to provide essential information for reports, services, projects, and database to better understand the current state of the shipyards in the U.S. In compliance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, MARAD conducts this survey to obtain information from the shipbuilding and ship repair industry to be used primarily to determine if an adequate mobilization base exists for national defense and for use in a national emergency. There are no changes to the collection since the last renewal. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
