    SUMMARY: As authorized by Public Law 105-383 and Public Law 107-295, 
    the Secretary of Transportation, as represented by the Maritime 
    Administration (MARAD), is authorized to grant waivers of the U.S.-
    build requirement of the coastwise laws under certain circumstances. A 
    request for such a waiver has been received by MARAD. The vessel, and a 
    brief description of the proposed service, is listed below. The 
    complete application is given in DOT docket 2004-17556 at http://
    dms.dot.gov. Interested parties may comment on the effect this action 
    may have on U.S. vessel builders or businesses in the U.S. that use 
    U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD determines, in accordance with Public Law 
    105-383 and MARAD's regulations at 46 CFR Part 388 (68 FR 23084; April 
    30, 2003), that the issuance of the waiver will have an unduly adverse 
    effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a business that uses U.S.-flag 
    vessels in that business, a waiver will not be granted. Comments should 
    refer to the docket number of this notice and the vessel name in order 
    for MARAD to properly consider the comments. Comments should also state 
    the commenter's interest in the waiver application, and address the 
    waiver criteria given in Sec.  388.4 of MARAD's regulations at 46 CFR 
    Part 388.
