SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of the enactment of the Coast 
Guard Authorization Act of 2010, codified at 46 U.S.C. 12102, the 
Secretary of Transportation has the discretionary authority to issue 
waivers allowing documented vessels with registry endorsements or 
foreign flag vessels to be used in operations that treat aquaculture 
fish for or protect aquaculture fish from disease, parasitic 
infestation, or other threats to their health when suitable vessels of 
the United States are not available that could perform those services. 
The Secretary has delegated this authority to the Maritime 
Administrator. Pursuant to this authority, MARAD is providing notice of 
the service requirements proposed by Cooke Aquaculture (Cooke) in order 
to make a U.S.-flag vessel availability determination. Specifics can be 
found in Cooke's application letter posted in the docket.
    In order to comply with USCG Aquaculture Support regulations at 46 
CFR part 106, Cooke is seeking a MARAD Aquaculture Waiver to operate 
the vessels SADIE JANE as follows:
    Intended Commercial Use of Vessel: ``to use one highly-specialized 
foreign-flag vessel referred to as a ``wellboat'' (or ``live fish 
carrier'') to treat Cooke's swimming inventory of farmed Atlantic 
salmon in the company's salt-water grow-out pens off Maine's North 
Atlantic Coast. This treatment prevents against parasitic infestation 
by sea lice that is highly destructive to the salmon's health.''
    Geographic Region: ``off Maine's North Atlantic Coast''.
    Requested Time Period: ``2017 calendar year, from August 10, 2017 
to December 31, 2017.''
    Interested parties may submit comments providing detailed 
information relating to the availability of U.S.-flag vessels to 
perform the required aquaculture support services. If MARAD determines, 
in accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12102(d)(1) and MARAD's regulations at 46 
CFR part 388, that suitable U.S.-flag vessels are available to perform 
the required services, a waiver will not be granted. Comments should 
refer to the docket number of this notice and the vessel name in order 
for MARAD to properly consider the comments. Comments should also state 
the commenter's interest in the waiver application, and address the 
waiver criteria set forth in 46 CFR 388.4.

Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), MARAD solicits comments from 
the public to inform its process to determine the availability of 
suitable vessels. DOT posts these comments, without edit, to 
www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of records notice, DOT/
ALL-14 FDMS, accessible through www.dot.gov/privacy. In order to
