Port Pelican LLC Deepwater Port 

License Application; Fabrication Site 

Environmental Assessment 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS; Maritime 

Administration, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard and the 

Maritime Administration (MARAD) 

announce the cancellation of an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) that 

they previously planned as a follow-up 

to MARAD’s approval of the license 

application for the Port Pelican LLC 

Deepwater Port in the Gulf of Mexico off 

Louisiana. The EA would have assessed 

the environmental impact of related 

shoreside fabrication site activities in 

Texas. The Coast Guard and MARAD 

are canceling the EA, due to Port 

Pelican LLC’s decision to defer these 

fabrication site activities indefinitely. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about the Port 

Pelican LLC Deepwater Port project, 

contact LCDR Derek Dostie, Deepwater 

Ports Standards Division, United States 

Coast Guard at (202) 267–0662 or 

ddostie@comdt.uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 14, 2003, the Maritime 

Administrator issued a Record of 

Decision (ROD) approving the 

application of Port Pelican LLC for a 

license to construct and operate a 

liquefied natural gas deepwater port on 

the Outer Continental Shelf, in the Gulf 

of Mexico approximately 36 miles 

south-southwest of Freshwater City, LA. 

As indicated in the deepwater port?s 

final Environmental Impact Statement 

(notice of availability, 68 FR 52048, 

August. 29, 2003) and in the ROD, the 

deepwater port would use concrete 

structures prefabricated at a shoreside 

site and approval of the deepwater port 

license application was conditioned on 

Coast Guard and MARAD issuance of a 

supplemental National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) document to 

assess the impact of the shoreside 

fabrication site activities. On June 25, 

2004, the Coast Guard and MARAD 

announced their intent to prepare that 

EA. 

Port Pelican LLC has now informed 

the Coast Guard and MARAD that it will 

not pursue its plans for the Port Aransas 

site at this time, and therefore the Coast 

Guard and MARAD are canceling their 

plans for the supplemental EA. The 

Coast Guard and MARAD will publicly 

announce resumption of NEPA 

document preparation should Port 

Pelican LLC elect to resume its plans for 

shoreside fabrication activities. 

Dated: September 23, 2005.

Merchant Mariner Credentials: 

Temporary Procedures; Hurricane 

Katrina 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of Fee Waiver. 

SUMMARY: On August 29, 2005, 

Hurricane Katrina devastated the 

coastlines of Louisiana, Mississippi, and 

Alabama. The Regional Examination 

Center (REC) at New Orleans, which 

serves 14% of mariners nation-wide and 

reflects about 29,000 mariners in those 

three states, was completely flooded, 

destroying vital records and equipment, 

and rendering the facility temporarily 

inoperable. Since mariners in the area 

may also have lost their credentials in 

the storm and subsequent flooding, the 

Coast Guard is hereby implementing 

temporary measures to relieve some 

hardship on mariners in the Gulf coast 

area who need replacement credentials. 

DATES: This Notice is effective October 

4, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this notice, call 

Mr. Donald J. Kerlin, Deputy Director, 

Coast Guard National Maritime Center 

(NMC), (202) 493–1006. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mariners 

whose homes of record are in the states 

of Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama as 

confirmed by the Coast Guard’s 

merchant mariner licensing and 

documentation system (MMLD), and 

have lost their merchant mariner’s 

document (MMD), merchant mariner’s 

license, or certificate of registry (COR) 

(collectively referred to as 

‘‘credentials’’) may apply at any REC to 

receive a duplicate credential that will 

bear the same expiration date and 

qualifications as the original credential 

that was lost. Until February 28, 2006, 

the fee usually charged for the issuance 

of duplicate credentials, will be waived. 

Additionally, any mariner who applied 

for a duplicate credential between 

August 29, 2005 and the publication of 

this Notice, and paid any fee may apply 

for a refund at the issuing REC. This 

waiver only applies to duplicate 

credentials that replace credentials held 

before the hurricane. It does not apply 

to routine renewals or transactions that 

enhance the mariner’s authority (raises 

of grade). Also, all other provisions and 

requirements in Title 46, Code of 

Federal Regulations (46 CFR) 10.219 

and 12.02–23 still apply. 

Since REC New Orleans is expected to 

remain closed for approximately six 

months or more, additional resources 

are being allocated to RECs Memphis, 

Houston, Miami and Charleston. 

Mariners may also seek help at any of 

the other 12 RECs around the country, 

a list of which appears at 46 CFR 10.105 

and 12.01–7. You may also call Mr. 

Kerlin for assistance at the number
