SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As originally announced in the Federal 
Register on June 2, 2014 (79 FR 31404), the scope of the Marine Highway 
Program has been expanded to include all of the United States domestic 
marine transportation system. Previously, the Program only included 
waterways that paralleled landside transportation routes, and thus, 
excluded routes between the mainland and non-contiguous ports. The 
expanded scope was specified in Section 405 of The Coast Guard and 
Marine Transportation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-213), which reads: 
``[t]he Secretary shall designate short sea transportation routes as 
extensions of the surface transportation system to focus public and 
private efforts to use the waterways to relieve landside congestion 
along coastal corridors or to promote short sea transportation.''
    The purpose of the open season call for projects is to seek 
eligible Marine Highway projects that may establish new or enhance 
existing Marine Highway services. Eligible projects may be designated 
as Marine Highway Projects by the Secretary of Transportation. Being 
designated a Marine Highway Project allows DOT resources to be used to 
assist public project sponsors, ports and other local transportation or 
economic development agencies in the development of Marine Highway 
projects.
    The Department's objective through this program is to reduce 
landside congestion and increase the use of domestic marine 
transportation by supporting the development of transportation options 
for shippers. These services provide economic and environmental 
benefits to the U.S. public at large. Marine Highway Program designated 
projects can improve safety and system resilience, and serve to reduce 
transportation-related air emissions, transportation costs for 
shippers, energy consumption, and costs associated with landside 
transportation infrastructure.
    The Marine Highway Program implementing regulations at 46 CFR part 
393 will be amended to reflect the new statutory changes. In the 
meantime, DOT/MARAD will accept and process project applications that 
propose to operate or expand service on Marine Highway routes, 
including those with no parallel landside route.

Exceptions to This Open Season

    If new Marine Highway grant funds are appropriated in a fiscal year 
(FY), it is possible that the review period for the July 1-September 30 
review session may be truncated so that projects submitted on June 30 
could be made eligible to apply for Marine Highway grant funds in that 
FY.

Participation

    Although Marine Highway Projects often involve private entities 
such as vessel operators, the applications must be sponsored and 
submitted to DOT/MARAD by a public entity, such as a State Department 
of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), or Port 
Authority. Public/private partnerships are encouraged.
    To be eligible for Marine Highway Project status, the proposed 
project must (1) use U.S. documented vessels, (2) transport passengers, 
containerized freight or trailer-based freight, and (3) operate on a 
designated Marine Highway Route. (Refer to 46 CFR 393.4(c) for a 
comprehensive description of project eligibility). However, since the 
number of navigable waterways eligible for designation as a Marine 
Highway Route was increased in the Coast Guard and Marine 
Transportation Act of 2012, DOT/MARAD will consider Marine Highway 
projects that would operate on newly eligible navigable waterways that 
have been recommended for, but not yet granted, a Marine Highway Route 
designation. For further information on recommending that a navigable 
waterway be designated as a Marine Highway Route, please contact your 
regional Gateway Office. Their contact
