SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Maritime Administration
Title of Collection: ``Request for Transfer of Ownership, Registry,
and Flag, or Charter, Lease, or Mortgage of U.S. Citizen Owned
Documented Vessels''.
OMB Control Number: 2133-0006.
Type of Request: Approval of an existing information collection.
Affected Public: Respondents are vessel owners who have applied for
foreign transfer of U.S.-flag vessels.
Form(s): MA-29, MA-29A, MA-29B (Note MA-29A is only used in cases
of a National Emergency).
Abstract: In accordance with Section 9 of the Shipping Act, 1916,
as amended, the Maritime Administration is required to approve the
sale, transfer, charter, lease, or mortgage of U.S. documented vessels
to non-citizens, or the transfer of such vessels to foreign registry
and flag, or the transfer of foreign flag vessels by their owners as
required by various contractual requirements. This information
collection requires a vessel owner to submit an application for a
prospective foreign transfer of a U.S.-flag vessel. This information
will assist in the determination of whether the vessel proposed for
transfer will initially require retention under the U.S.-flag statutory
regulation. In such instances, the application is reviewed and cleared
for approval by specialists within MARAD and the Department of Defense,
U.S. TRANSCOM.
Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 200 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention MARAD Desk Officer.
Comments are Invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. A comment to OMB is best assured of having its
full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication.
Dated: June 14, 2000.
