to the Secretary of Transportation to

administratively waive the U.S.-build

requirements of the Jones Act, and other

vessels (no more than 12 passengers).

This authority has been delegated to the

Maritime Administration per 49

CFR 1.66, Delegations to the Maritime

Administrator, as amended. By this

notice, MARAD is publishing

information on a vessel for which a

request for a U.S.-build waiver has been

received, and for which MARAD

requests comments from interested

parties. Comments should refer to the

docket number of this notice and the

vessel name in order for MARAD to

properly consider the comments.

Comments should also state the

commenter’s interest in the waiver

Vessel Proposed for Waiver of the U.S.-

Build Requirement

(1) Name of vessel and owner for

which waiver is requested. Name of

vessel: CAT BALLOU. Owner: Charles

Joseph Longanecker.

(2) Size, capacity and tonnage of

vessel. According to the applicant:

‘‘Length: 42 ft.; Beam 23 ft.; Draft 6.6 ft.;

Gross: 22 tons; Net 17 tons (measured

pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 14502).’’

(3) Intended use for vessel, including

geographic region of intended operation

and trade. According to the applicant:

General Charter and Corporate Training

Facility. West Coast of the U.S. from San

Francisco to the Mexican Border, based

in San Francisco Bay.’’

(if applicable) rebuilding. Date of

construction: 1991. Place of

construction: Canet, France.

(5) A statement on the impact this

waiver will have on other commercial

passenger vessel operators. According to

the applicant: ‘‘Given that we are a

small recreational sailing vessel,

desiring to take 12 or less passengers for

limited day, coastal, corporate training,

and recreational trips, the approval of

this application will not have an

adverse effect on existing passenger

operators. Cat Ballou will be used as a

platform for corporate retreats and

strategic planning. There are many large

and established charter operations in

San Francisco providing passage on the

bay and costal waters. The industry is

healthy and demand has grown

significantly in recent years.’’

(6) A statement on the impact this

waiver will have on U.S. shipyards.

According to the applicant: ‘‘This

waiver will have no adverse effect on

U.S. shipyards. In the last 12 months

over $100,000 has been spent for repowering and re-rigging the boat with

U.S. suppliers and shipyards. It costs

approximately $40,000 per year at local

boatyards and suppliers in the bay area

to maintain Cat Ballou.’’
