[Docket No. MARAD 2009 0048] 

Notice of Ship Disposal: SS Pioneer 

Commander 

The Maritime Administration plans to 

dispose of the obsolete vessel SS 

Pioneer Commander, which is currently 

located at its Beaumont Reserve Fleet in 

Beaumont, Texas. The Maritime 

Administration, in consultation with the 

Texas Historical Commission, 

determined that the vessel is eligible for 

listing on the National Register of 

Historic Places due to its role in a 

pivotal moment in U.S. history; the 

evacuation of more than 44,000 

Americans, Vietnamese military and 

refugees from South Vietnam in 1975. 

This operation signaled the close of 

America’s long involvement in Vietnam. 

The National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2004, Section 3512 

of Public Law 108–136, authorizes the 

Maritime Administration to afford 

qualified public and non-profit 

organizations the opportunity to obtain, 

via donation, obsolete ships from the 

National Defense Reserve Fleet (NDRF) 

for use as memorials and/or in other 

non-commercial enterprises. 

The Maritime Administration will 

accept completed donation applications 

for the SS Pioneer Commander from 

qualified organizations in accordance 

with the Ship Donation Program 

Requirements for a period of 45 days 

beginning June 1, 2009. For more 

information visit the Marad Ship 

Donation Program at http:// 

www.marad.dot.gov or contact Mr. 

Kevin Smith at 202–366–3798 or via 

e-mail at kevin.r.smith@dot.gov. 

Dated: May 18, 2009. 

By Order of the Maritime Administrator.

Acting Secretary, Maritime Administration.
