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)

Office of Marine Highways and Passenger Services, MAR-520, Suite W21-
315, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC. 20590.

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