Trading Restrictions on Vessels Transferred to a Foreign Registry: Amendment of List of Prohibited Countries

Özet

In accordance with foreign policy considerations, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) currently prohibits the foreign transfer of an interest in or control of certain U.S. documented or previously U.S. documented vessels to an entity in the foreign countries listed in the Department of Commerce's list of prohibited countries set forth in Country Group E. Currently, the rule specifically lists the countries set forth in Country Group E. This final rule amends regulations to incorporate Country Group E by reference and eliminates the separate listing.
