AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Inventory of U.S.-flag launch barges.

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration is updating its inventory of U.S.-
flag launch barges. Additions, changes and comments to the list are 
requested. Launch barge information may be found at http://www.marad.dot.gov/ships-and-shipping/domestic-shipping/launch-barge-program/.

DATES: Any comments on this inventory should be submitted in writing to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 46 CFR part 389 (Docket No. 
MARAD-2008-0045) Determination of Availability of Coastwise-Qualified 
Vessels for the Transportation of Platform Jackets, the Final Rule 
requires that the Maritime Administration publish a notice in the 
Federal Register requesting that owners or operators (or potential 
owners or operators) of coastwise qualified launch barges notify us of: 
(1) Their interest in participating in the transportation and, if 
needed, the launching or installation of offshore platform jackets; (2) 
the contact information for their company; and, (3) the specifications 
of any currently owned or operated coastwise qualified launch barges or 
plans to construct same. In addition, we are also seeking information 
on non-coastwise qualified (U.S.-flag) launch barges as well.

Privacy Act

    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments 
received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual 
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf 
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's
