Background: To implement Section 3507 of the National Defense
Authorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-91 (the ``Act''), codified at
46 U.S.C. 51705 (previously designated as 46 U.S.C. 54102), MARAD
developed a procedure to recommend to the Secretary the designation of
eligible institutions as Centers of Excellence for Domestic Maritime
Workforce Training and Education (CoE). Pursuant to the Act, the
Secretary of Transportation may designate certain eligible and
qualified training entities as CoEs and may subsequently execute
Cooperative Agreements with CoE designees. Authority to administer the
CoE program is delegated to MARAD in 49 CFR 1.93(a). The previously
approved policy for collecting information is required to administer
the Center of Excellence program which supports the DOT strategic goal
of Economic Competitiveness, and the MARAD strategic goal to Maintain
and Modernize the Maritime workforce.
Respondents: ``Community Colleges or Technical Colleges'' and
``Maritime Training Centers'' in certain eligible locations are
eligible to apply for CoE designation. Additionally, only ``Maritime
Training Centers'' with a maritime training program in operation on 12
December 2017 are eligible under the statute.
Affected Public: Community Colleges, Technical Colleges and
Maritime Training Centers.
Total Estimated Number of Responses: 100.
Frequency of Collection: Annually.
Estimated time per Respondent: 48 hrs.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,800.
Public Comments Invited: Comments are invited on: Whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the
Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.

35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.93)
