DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
As authorized by Public Law 105-383 and Public Law 107-295,
the Secretary of Transportation, as represented by the Maritime

brief description of the proposed service, is listed below. The
complete application is given in DOT docket MARAD200728703 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
105383 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
