Comment on Disposal of 2.96 Acres of 

Airport Land at Laconia Municipal 

Airport in Gilford, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is considering a 

request from the Laconia Airport 

Authority in Gilford, NH, to dispose of 

2.96 acres of airport land that is not 

required for aviation purposes at 

Laconia Municipal Airport. 

The subject parcel has been identified 

as property no longer needed for 

aviation use by the Laconia Airport 

Authority (LAA). The property, Lot 13, 

located along the east side of Lily Pond 

Road (NH Route 11C) in the Town of 

Gilford, is located on the northerly side 

of the airport’s existing business park. 

The intended use of the property is for 

boat storage, which is a compatible use 

adjacent to the airport. Given the 

location of the parcel, the disposal of 

this property will have no effect on 

aviation land nor future development 

opportunities for the airport. The 

proceeds of the disposal will be placed 

in the airport’s account and to be used 

for the operation and maintenance of 

the airport. Appropriate avigation 

easements will be placed on the 

property to ensure compatibility with 

the airport and the airport’s airspace.

[Docket No. MARAD 2015–0049] 

Application of Cargo Preference 

Requirements to the Federal Ship 

Financing Program 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration 

(MARAD). 

ACTION: Final Policy Clarification. 

SUMMARY: On April 22, 2015, the 

Maritime Administration (MARAD) 

published a Notice of Proposed Policy 

Clarification (80 FR 22611) seeking 

comments on a proposed policy 

clarifying the application of the Cargo 

Preference Act of 1954 (CPA 1954), 46 

U.S.C. 55305, to applications, 

commitments, and guarantees under 

MARAD’s Federal Ship Financing 

Program (Title XI), 46 U.S.C. Chapter 

537. This Notice finalizes MARAD’s 

policy clarification. 

DATES: This policy is effective on the 

date of publication, including for all 

pending Title XI applications.

Administrator for Business and Finance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MARAD 

received ten (10) public comments in 

response to its Notice of Proposed 

Policy Clarification. In addition, on July 

9, 2015, MARAD held a meeting with 

interested stakeholders, a transcript of 

which was published on the public 

docket folder at www.regulations.gov 

under docket number MARAD–2015– 

0049. The public comments ranged from 

full support for the Proposed Policy 

Clarification as published to complete 

opposition to the application of the CPA 

1954 to the Title XI program. 

Numerous comments focused on the 

application of the CPA 1954 to 

mortgage-period financing. Some 

commenters asserted that the 

application of the CPA 1954 to 

mortgage-period financing would result 

in such a severe administrative and cost 

burden that it would render compliance 

with the CPA 1954 impracticable and 

deter future Title XI applications. 

Commenters also asserted that the 

Proposed Policy Clarification was a 

significant deviation from MARAD’s 

prior practice of not applying the CPA 

1954 to mortgage-period financing. 

Relatedly, virtually all commenters were 

concerned about the timing for 

application of the CPA 1954, with
