Farrell Lines Incorporated; Notice of Application for Waiver of 
Section 804(a) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, As Amended

    Farrell Lines Incorporated (Farrell), by application dated July 15, 
1994, requests a waiver of the provisions of section 804(a) of the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, so as to permit Farrell to ad 
hoc charter, operate and/or act as Agent or Broker for any foreign-flag 
vessel between the United States Gulf and east coast ports and the 
Black Sea ports. The vessel type would be general-cargo ships not 
exceeding 12000 DWT and having refrigerated and containerized cargo 
capacity. The waiver is requested for the duration of Farrell's 
Operating-Differential Subsidy Agreement, Contract MA/MSB-482, which 
expires on December 31, 1997.
    Farrell operates a regular U.S.-flag liner service between the U.S. 
east coast and Mediterranean (Trade Route 10/13) with extension to the 
Black Sea ports using foreign-flag feeder vessels as permitted by law. 
Farrell states that it is not seeking to service any other mid point 
areas such as the Mediterranean under the instant request and would 
limit such sailings to no more than twelve voyages per year.
    This application may be inspected in the Office of the Secretary, 
Maritime Administration. Any person, firm, or corporation having any 
interest in such request within the meaning of section 804 of the Act 
and desiring to submit comments concerning the application must file 
written comments in triplicate with the Secretary, Maritime 
Administration, Room 7300, Nassif Building, 400 Seventh Street SW., 
Washington, D.C. 20590. Comments must be received no later than 5:00 
p.m. on August 4, 1994. This notice is published as a matter of 
discretion and publication should in no way be considered a favorable 
or unfavorable decision on the application, as filed or as may be 
amended. The Maritime Administrator will consider any comments 
submitted and take such action with respect thereto as may be deemed 
appropriate.
