[Docket No. MARAD 2008 0096]
RIN 2133-AB70


America's Marine Highway Program, Corrections

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration is correcting an interim final 
rule that appeared in the Federal Register of October 9, 2008 (73 FR 
59530). Due to the current financial environment and the receipt of 
informal comments indicating that one hundred and twenty (120) days is 
insufficient time to formulate an application, this document changes 
the summary section of the regulation to reflect that the Maritime 
Administration is seeking comment on the America's Marine Highway 
program and recommendations for Marine Highway Corridors and not 
soliciting applications for specific projects at this time.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective November 10, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Gordon, Office of Intermodal 
System Development, Marine Highways and Passenger Services, at (202) 
366-5468, via e-mail at [email protected], or by writing to the 
Office of Marine Highways and Passenger Services, MAR-520, Suite W21-
315, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC. 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    In FR Doc. 2008-0096 appearing on page 59530 in the Federal 
Register of Thursday, October 9, 2008, the following corrections are 
made:

Summary [Corrected]
