SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As described by the applicant the intended 
service of the vessel INDIGO is:

--Intended Commercial Use of Vessel: ``Offer short, recreational 
charters on Indigo for approximately 4-8 passengers.''
--Geographic Region: ``Maine''

    The complete application is given in DOT docket MARAD-2018-0004 at 
http://www.regulations.gov. Interested parties may comment on the 
effect this action may have on U.S. vessel builders or businesses in 
the U.S. that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD determines, in accordance 
with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and MARAD's regulations at 46 CFR part 388, that 
the issuance of the waiver will have an unduly adverse effect on a 
U.S.-vessel builder or a business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in that 
business, 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 given in Sec.  388.4 of MARAD's regulations at 46 CFR part 
388.
