  • 2021-00009 — Requested Administrative Waiver of the Coastwise Trade Laws: Vessel HECHT YEAH (Motor Vessel); Invitation for Public Comments
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 1128
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has received a request for a waiver of the U.S.-build requirements of coastwise trade laws to allow the vessel HECHT YEAH to carry up to twelve passengers for hire. This waiver would permit the vessel, which is three years old, to operate as a "bareboat charter" primarily in Puerto Rico. Public comments on this waiver request can be submitted by February 8, 2021. If it's determined that the waiver negatively impacts U.S. vessel builders or businesses using U.S.-flag vessels, the waiver may not be granted.

    Simple Explanation

    A boat called HECHT YEAH wants special permission to carry people for rides because it wasn't made in the U.S. like the rules usually require. People can tell officials what they think about this by a certain date, and if it would hurt U.S. boat makers, they might not allow it.
