## Abstract

In connection with the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, the Maritime Administration (MARAD), after having initiated a rulemaking with a notice of proposed rule-making (NPRM), has reviewed the subject regulations at 46 CFR part 383 and has determined to withdraw that rulemaking and remove the entire part. Part 383 has become unnecessary in view of the decline in the volume of U.S.-flag vessel liner service.
