| 00-9683 | Request for Public Comments on an Evaluation of the Maritime Security Program/Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement Program | Notice | The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is assessing the impact of the Maritime Security Program (MSP) and its associated Emergency Preparedness Program (EPP), the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift (VISA) program. The evaluation will seek to determine the contribution of MSP/ VISA to the achievement of Department of Transportation (DOT) and MARAD national security goals by identifying the causal relationship between MSP/VISA and the goals, to the extent that causality can be reliably measured. As part of DOT's implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act, MARAD has been investigating in-depth how well its major programs are working to achieve stated objectives. As set out in DOT and MARAD strategic plans to meet U.S. national security goals, the MSP is designed to help ensure that an active U.S. merchant fleet--and the trained personnel needed to operate both privately-owned active commercial vessels and Government-owned and controlled reserve ships-- will be available to meet Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for sealift during national emergencies. In FY 2000, these requirements include DoD access to 165,000 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units of container capacity) or 14.5 million square feet of U.S.-flag commercial vessel capacity and to carriers' intermodal transportation equipment and service networks. | 2000-04-18 | 2000 | 4 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/04/18/00-9683/request-for-public-comments-on-an-evaluation-of-the-maritime-security-programvoluntary-intermodal | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-04-18/pdf/00-9683.pdf | Transportation Department; Maritime Administration | 492,282 | The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is assessing the impact of the Maritime Security Program (MSP) and its associated Emergency Preparedness Program (EPP), the Voluntary Intermodal Sealift (VISA) program.
