Basis and Purpose 

On November 3, 2011, the Coast 

Guard published a Notice and Request 

for Comments regarding the 

mechanisms of compliance with United 

States citizenship requirements for the 

ownership of vessels eligible to engage 

in restricted trades by publicly traded 

companies. In that notice, the public 

comment period was set to expire on 

February 1, 2012. 

On December 22, 2011, the Coast 

Guard received a public comment 

requesting an extension of the comment 

period due to the complex nature of the 

information requested in the notice. 

Specifically, the commenter noted the 

complexity associated with the 

compliance mechanisms employed by 

companies that utilize a wide variety of 

organizational structures, and the 

additional complexity of the stock 

trading industry. 

The Coast Guard believes that an 

extension of the comment period will 

enable the public to provide more 

thorough and useful information. 

Accordingly, the Coast Guard is 

extending the deadline for public 

comments on the notice until April 2, 

2012. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 33 CFR 1.05–1. 

Dated: January 10, 2012.
