proposed service should refer to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Maritime Administration has received a 

request from a company seeking 

permission to charter a foreign-flag iceclassed A3 anchor handling vessel 

adjacent to the coast of Alaska. The 

foreign-flag anchor handling vessel 

(TOR VIKING II 9199622) would operate 

in the Beaufort Sea or Chukchi Sea 

adjacent to Alaska, under certain 

conditions, and for a limited period of 

time. Section 306 of Public Law 111–

in this regard if the Maritime 

Administration determines that U.S.- 

flag vessels are not suitable or

The Maritime Administration is 

posting this notice in the Federal 

Register providing the public notice 30 

days in advance of our intention to 

provide a determination allowing for the 

use of a foreign-flag vessel in this 

regard, if suitable and available U.S.-flag 

vessels are not otherwise identified. Our 

determination will be for a period of one 

calendar year from July 2015. Foreignflag anchor handling vessels may not be 

employed for the setting, relocation or 

recovery of anchors or other mooring 

equipment of a mobile offshore drilling 

unit after December 31, 2017.
