Abstract: 46 U.S.C. 55305 and the

comply with the cargo preference laws
and must submit data to the Maritime

foreign-flag carriage of preference
cargoes under their control. Part 382
requires U.S. operators to submit
specific data to MARAD regarding fair
and reasonable guideline rates for the
carriage of preference cargoes on U.S.flag vessels. The collection of vessel
data contributes toward the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s strategic
goal of National Security. In addition,
this data collection requires U.S.-flag
operators to submit vessel-operating
costs and capital costs data to MARAD
officials on an annual basis. This
information is needed by MARAD to
establish fair and reasonable guideline
rates for carriage of specific cargoes on
U.S. vessels.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
