SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The decommissioning and disposition of the NSS is an Undertaking 
under Section 106 of the NHPA. Section 106 requires that federal 
agencies consider views of the public regarding their Undertakings; 
therefore, in 2020, MARAD established a Federal docket at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/docket/MARAD-2020-0133">https://www.regulations.gov/docket/MARAD-2020-0133</a> to provide public notice 
about the NSS Undertaking. The federal docket was also used in 2021 to 
solicit public comments on the future uses of the NSS. MARAD is 
continuing to use this same docket to take in public comment, share 
information, and post agency actions.
    The NHPA Programmatic Agreement (PA) for the Decommissioning and 
Disposition of the NSS is available on the MARAD docket located at 
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> under docket id ``MARAD-2020-0133.'' The PA 
stipulates a deliberative process by which MARAD will consider the 
disposition of the NSS. This process requires MARAD to make an 
affirmative, good-faith effort to preserve the NSS. The PA also 
establishes the PRG in Stipulation II. The PRG is the mechanism for 
continuing consultation during the effective period of the PA and its 
members consist of the signatories and concurring parties to the PA, as 
well as other consulting parties. The PRG members will provide 
individual input and guidance to MARAD regarding the implementation of 
stipulations in the PA.
    PRG members and members of the public are invited to provide input 
by attending bi-monthly meetings and reviewing and commenting on 
deliverables developed as part of the PA.

(Authority: 49 CFR 1.81 and 1.93; 36 CFR part 800; 5 U.S.C. 552b.)

    By Order of the Maritime Administrator.
T. Mitchell Hudson, Jr.,
Secretary, Maritime Administration.
