# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Background

                    The decommissioning and disposition of the NSS is an Undertaking under Section 106 of the National Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended. Section 106 requires that federal agencies consider views of the public regarding their Undertakings; therefore,                           ( print page 84242)                        in 2020, MARAD established a Federal docket at                     *https://www.regulations.gov/​docket/​MARAD-2020-0133*                     to provide public notice about the NSS Undertaking. The federal docket was also used in 2021 to solicit public comments on the future uses of the NSS. MARAD is continuing to use this same docket to take in public comment, share information, and post agency actions.                

                    The PA for the Decommissioning and Disposition of the NSS is available on the MARAD docket located at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     under docket id “MARAD-2020-0133.” The PA stipulates a deliberative process by which MARAD will consider the disposition of the NSS. This process requires MARAD to make an affirmative, good-faith effort to preserve the NSS.                

## II. Agenda

                    The agenda will include (1) welcome and introductions; (2) tour of the ship: and (3) questions. The agenda will also be posted on MARAD's website at                     *https://www.maritime.dot.gov/​outreach/​history/​maritime-administration-history-program*                     and on the MARAD docket located at                     *www.regulations.gov*                     under docket id “MARAD-2020-0133.”                

## III. Public Participation

                    The site visit will be open to the public. Members of the public who wish to attend in person or online must RSVP to the person listed in the                     **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**                     section with your name and affiliation.
