amended. For purposes of this notice,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 22, 2017, MARAD received a 

written request from Neptune for 

authorization to temporarily suspend 

operations at the Neptune Port, located 

approximately 22 miles northeast of 

Boston, Massachusetts. In the request, 

Neptune indicated that conditions 

within the Northeast region’s natural gas 

market continue to impact the Neptune 

Port’s ability to import liquefied natural 

gas (LNG). As a result, the Neptune Port 

has remained inactive over the past 

several years and will likely remain 

inactive for the foreseeable future. For 

these reasons, Neptune requested 

MARAD’s authorization to formally 

suspend port operations for a period of 

four years. 

After conducting a thorough 

evaluation and consultation with 

various Federal agencies, MARAD has 

determined that the amendment of the 

license is consistent with the 

requirements of 33 U.S.C. chapter 29 

and has accepted Neptune’s request and 

authorized amendment of the License to 

provide an additional four-year 

suspension of port operations. The 

amendment is applicable only to 

Articles 2, 6, and 19 of the License. All 

other terms, conditions, and obligations 

of the License will remain in effect 

during and after the suspension period. 

The suspension period became effective 

June 26, 2018, and will extend for a 

period of four years, to be measured in 

calendar days. 

In order to resume operations prior to 

expiration of the four-year suspension 

period, Neptune must petition MARAD 

for approval to resume port operations. 

The petition must be submitted at least 

six months prior to the proposed re-start 

date, and certify that Neptune is in 

receipt of all applicable Federal and 

State permits, approvals, and 

authorizations. Should Neptune request 

an extension of the suspension period, 

such request must be submitted to 

MARAD no less than one hundred 

eighty (180) calendar days prior to the 

expiration date of the suspension 

period. Thereafter, MARAD will 

evaluate, in consultation with the 

relevant Federal agencies, the 

appropriateness of such an extension. 

The final determination on any 

extension will be rendered by the 

Maritime Administrator or a designee 

acting on behalf of the Maritime 

Administrator.

this public notice may be found in the

Deepwater Port License online at
