financial data upon which MARAD

approval would be based. In certain

cases, brokers would be required to

certify that American underwriters were

offered opportunity to compete for the

business.

Need and Use of the Information: 46

CFR part 249, published as a final rule

on June 20, 1988, prescribes regulations

for approval of underwriters for marine

hull insurance on vessels built or

operated with subsidy or covered by

vessel obligation guarantees issued

pursuant to Title XI of the Merchant

Marine Act, 1936, as amended. The

regulations provide for approval of

foreign underwriters on the basis of an

assessment of their financial condition,

the regulatory regime under which they

operate, and a statement attesting to a

lack of discrimination in their country

against U.S. hull insurers. The

regulations also require that American

underwriters be given an opportunity to

compete for every placement, thereby

necessitating in some cases certification

that such opportunity was offered.

Estimated Annual Burden: 66 hours.

[Docket 37554]

Notice of Order Adjusting the Standard

Foreign Fare Level Index

Section 41509(e) of Title 49 of the

United States Code requires that the

Department, as successor to the Civil

Aeronautics Board, establish a Standard

Foreign Fare Level (SFFL) by adjusting

the SFFL base periodically by

percentage changes in actual operating

costs per available seat-mile (ASM).

Order 80–2–69 established the first

interim SFFL, and Order 97–6–3

established the currently effective twomonth SFFL applicable through July 31,

1997.

In establishing the SFFL for the twomonth period beginning August 1, 1997,

we have projected non-fuel costs based

on the year ended March 31, 1997 data,

and have determined fuel prices on the

basis of the latest available experienced

monthly fuel cost levels as reported to

the Department.

By Order 97–7–32 fares may be

increased by the following adjustment

factors over the October 1979 level:

Atlantic—1.3569

Latin America—1.4045

Pacific—1.4957

A. Shangraw (202) 366–2439.
