practices. Proposed changes include instructions for electronic
submission of applications, updates to statutory citations, removal of
commercial references that are no longer relevant to the Maritime
Security Program (such as capacity of LASH vessels), and changes to
certain collected information that better reflects current maritime
business practice. We are required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies.
