[Docket Number: MARAD–2000–7798]

Criteria for Granting Waivers of

Requirement for Exclusive U.S.-Flag

Vessel Carriage of Certain Export

Cargoes

AGENCY: Maritime Administration,

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of policy revision.

Statement of Policy on Public

Resolution 17—73rd Congress

The Maritime Administrator has

authorized the following statement

describing the policies and procedures

in administration of Public Resolution

17, 73rd Congress, 48 Stat. 500, 46 App.

U.S.C. § 1241–1, as it applies to credits

of the Export-Import Bank of the United

States or similar government

instrumentalities.

1. Scope of Applicability

Public Resolution No. 17 provides

that where an instrumentality of the

Government makes loans or credit

guarantees to foster the export of

agricultural or other products, such

products must be carried exclusively in

vessels of the United States unless the

Maritime Administration (we, us, or

our) certifies to the lending agency that

such vessels are not available as to

numbers, tonnage capacity, sailing

schedule or at reasonable rates. The

Resolution is applicable to credits of the

Export-Import Bank (Eximbank,

government instrumentality) or other

Government instrumentalities for the

purpose of financing the acquisition and

shipment of United States products or

services. The government

instrumentality must include in such

credit agreements a requirement that

shipments be made in United States-flag

vessels, except to the extent that we

grant a waiver of the requirement as

outlined in this policy statement. If the

government instrumentality receives a

request for a waiver, it will refer the

request to us.

2. Types of Waivers

The process to be followed for all

waiver requests is set forth in Appendix

A. Guidelines for the information to be

included in the waiver request are set

forth in Appendix B. We will post the

essential terms of applications for, and

status of, all waiver requests and

waivers on our web site. If our web site

is not available, we will transmit the

information to the U.S.-flag carriers and

the shipper/applicant. Security access to

waiver information will be limited to

bona fide U.S.-flag ocean carriers and to

the shipper who requests or receives the

waiver. MARAD will treat all

information submitted by shippers that

is not essential for U.S.-flag cargo

bookings as ‘‘business confidential’’ and

exempt from public disclosure under

the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),

section 552 (b)4. MARAD may consult

with or request further information from

any carrier or shipper or Government

Agency to clarify any questions we may

have on any topic.

(A) Statutory (Non-Availability) Waiver

When it appears that U.S. vessels will

not be available within a reasonable

time or at reasonable rates, public or

private foreign borrowers, or their

representatives or their shippers in the

United States may apply directly to our

Office of Cargo Preference for waiver of

the U.S.-flag requirement. Requests for

waivers must follow the format in

Appendix B and must have a legal

signature. We will make any necessary

investigation to determine whether U.S.-

flag vessels are available and may

request additional information. We will

approve or deny the waiver request in

writing. Copies of approved waivers or

denials will be sent to the appropriate

government instrumentality.

Such waivers will apply to the

specifically approved cargo movements.
