War Risk Insurance; Notice of Renewal

    Authority of the Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) to provide 
insurance and reinsurance under Title XII of the Merchant Marine Act of 
1936, as amended (46 App. U.S.C. 1281-1293), was extended until June 
30, 2000, by Pub. L. 104-106 (110 Stat. 186, February 10, 1996).
    All shipowners who had vessels entered in the Maritime 
Administration's standby war risk program when the Secretary's 
authority expired on June 30, 1995, need not reapply. Those vessels 
were automatically re-entered into the program when the authority was 
extended, and the American War Risk Agency will send written 
confirmation of re-entry. However, if any condition a shipowner 
attested to in the original application has changed, the shipowner (or 
the insurance broker representing the shipowner) should so advise the 
American War Risk Agency to assure that the vessels are still eligible 
for the program.
    A shipowner who currently does not have vessels entered in the 
program but wishes to participate, may obtain an application from the 
American War Risk Agency, 14 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005 telephone 
(212) 233-5978.
    For further information contact: Edmond J. Fitzgerald, Director, 
Office of Subsidy and Insurance, Maritime Administration, Washington, 
DC 20590 or telephone (202) 366-2400.

    By Order of the Maritime Administrator.

    Dated: March 4, 1996.
Joel C. Richard,
Secretary.
