SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Requirements for 

Establishing U.S. Citizenship—46 CFR 

Parts 355 and 356. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

currently approved information 

collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2133–0012. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Three 

years from date of approval by the 

Office of Management and Budget. 

Summary of Collection of 

Information: Maritime Administration 

implementing regulations at 46 CFR 

Parts 355 and 356 set forth requirements 

for establishing U.S. citizenship in 

accordance with MARAD statutory 

authority. Those receiving benefits 

under 46 U.S.C. chapters 531, 535, and 

537 (formerly the Merchant Marine Act, 

1936, as amended), or applicants 

seeking a fishery endorsement eligibility 

approval pursuant to the American 

Fisheries Act must be citizens of the 

United States within the meaning of 46 

U.S.C. 50501, (formerly Section 2 of the 

Shipping Act, 1916, as amended). In 

either case, whether seeking program 

benefits or fishery endorsement 

eligibility, Section 50501 sets forth the 

statutory requirements for determining 

whether an applicant, be it a 

corporation, partnership, or association 

is a U.S. citizen. 46 CFR part 356 is 

distinguished from 46 CFR part 355 in 

that part 356 establishes requirements 

for U.S. citizenship exclusively in 

accordance with the AFA while part 355 

is applied for purposes of establishing 

citizenship across multiple MARAD 

programs arising under other statutory 

authority. Most program participants are 

required to submit to MARAD on an 

annual basis the form of affidavit 

prescribed by part 355 or part 356. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

MARAD will review the Affidavits of 

U.S. Citizenship to determine if the 

applicants are eligible to participate in 

the programs offered by the agency or to 

receive a MARAD fishery endorsement 

eligibility approval. 

Description of Respondents: The 

Affidavits of U.S. Citizenship are filed 

with MARAD by shipowners, trustees, 

ship mortgagees, charterers, equity 

owners, ship managers, etc. 

Annual Responses: 500 responses. 

Annual Burden: 2,500 hours.
