SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 46 CFR part 389.3, in order to
provide timely notification and to identify potential participants to
each other so they may examine how they can best work together to
maximize use of coastwise-qualified vessels, MARAD is required to
publish a notice in the Federal Register annually requesting that
owners or operators (or potential owners or operators) of coastwise
qualified launch barges notify us of: (1) Their interest in
participating in the transportation and, if needed, the launching or
installation of offshore platform jackets; (2) the contact information
for their company; and, (3) the specifications of any currently owned
or operated coastwise qualified launch barges or plans to construct
same. In addition, MARAD is also seeking the same information from
owners or operators of non-coastwise qualified (U.S.-flag) launch
barges. The following is MARAD's current register of U.S.-flag launch
barges:
