In compliance with 46 U.S.C. 50102
(2007), the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended, MARAD, Office
of Shipyards and Marine Engineering, conducts this survey to obtain
information from the shipbuilding and ship repair industry to be
used primarily to determine, if an adequate mobilization base
exists for national defense and for use in a national emergency.
The information that is collected is voluntary and is collected
annually from the shipbuilding and repair industry and is used in
producing various shipyard reports and databases that are shared
with the Navy and other Government agencies. The information was
previously collected quarterly from respondents, but is currently
being collected annually. The Office of Shipyards and Marine
Engineering has determined that they only need to surveil the
shipyards once a year (vice 4 times) as the data rarely changes
during the year.
