entities and other Federal agencies

relating to the impact of the MSP and

the VISA programs on DOD sealift

capability and the U.S. merchant fleet.

The evaluation seeks to determine the

contribution of the MSP/VISA to the

achievement of DOT’s and MARAD’s

national security goals. This evaluation

is part of DOT’s implementation of the

Government Performance and Results
