ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has reviewed all its files on Circular Letters to General Agents (CLs) and Operating Letters to General Agents (OLs). As a result of this review, MARAD has determined to revoke all

said Circular Letters to General Agents and Operating Letters to General Agents not heretofore terminated.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: P. Jean Barile, Office of Ship Operations, Maritime Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, telephone (202) 366-5776, facsimile (202) 366- 3954.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CLs and OLs were identical letters sent to all, or multiple, General Agents and relating to the operation of Government vessels by private companies under General Agency Agreements. During the course of reviewing files for outstanding CLs and OLs, MARAD found that all had become obsolete in the context of current vessel operations procedures and arrangements with General Agents. MARAD has determined that none of the Circular Letters to General Agents and none of the Operating Letters to General Agents presently outstanding, and not heretofore revoked, have application to current ship operations functions of the Maritime Administration, or the National Shipping Authority, and they are hereby revoked.

By Order of the Maritime Administrator.

Dated: July 14, 1998. Joel C. Richard, Secretary.
