The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is seeking comments on the proposed policy to accept, evaluate and process license applications for construction and operation of offshore deep water export facilities. MARAD would like to use existing Deepwater Port License Regulations. Due to considerable technical, operational and environmental differences between the import and export operations for natural gas or oil projects, a separate and complete license application is required for export applications. To read the complete proposed policy and to see how to submit your comments please visit the Federal Register
