Abstract: This information collection outlines the Maritime Administration's Marine Highway Program and provide instructions on how to apply for Marine Highway project designation. The collection is required to obtain and/or retain benefits. The information will be collected electronically or may be submitted manually, and will be used by the Maritime Administration, Office of Ports and Waterways Planning, to evaluate and review applications being submitted for project designation. The review will assess factors such as project scope, impact, public benefit, environmental effect, offsetting costs, cost to the government (if any), the likelihood of long-term self-supporting operations, and its relationship with Marine Highway Corridors once designated. Upon completion of the technical review, applications will be forwarded to an intermodal review team to review each application received during the solicitation period.
