Revocation Notice Concerning General Agent Directives

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has reviewed all its files 
on Circular Letters to General Agents (CLs) and Operating Letters to 
General Agents (OLs). As a result of this review, MARAD has determined 
to revoke all

[[Page 38689]]

said Circular Letters to General Agents and Operating Letters to 
General Agents not heretofore terminated.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: P. Jean Barile, Office of Ship 
Operations, Maritime Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20590, telephone [phone], facsimile (202) 366-
3954.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CLs and OLs were identical letters sent to 
all, or multiple, General Agents and relating to the operation of 
Government vessels by private companies under General Agency 
Agreements. During the course of reviewing files for outstanding CLs 
and OLs, MARAD found that all had become obsolete in the context of 
current vessel operations procedures and arrangements with General 
Agents. MARAD has determined that none of the Circular Letters to 
General Agents and none of the Operating Letters to General Agents 
presently outstanding, and not heretofore revoked, have application to 
current ship operations functions of the Maritime Administration, or 
the National Shipping Authority, and they are hereby revoked.

    By Order of the Maritime Administrator.

    Dated: July 14, 1998.
Joel C. Richard,
Secretary.
