{"abstract":"The purpose of this notice is to announce a voluntary program for approval of maritime security training courses under the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA). Training providers wishing to receive course approval are invited to submit applications under this program, which was developed jointly by MARAD and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Training providers--profit or non-profit-- must be organized and authorized to conduct business under the Federal laws of the United States, or under the laws of any state of the United States, and they must conduct the training in the United States or aboard a United States flag vessel to be eligible for this program. There is no cost to training providers for course approval under this program; however, the program is subject to limited funding, and fees may be required when funding is exhausted. The goal of the program is to promote high quality, uniform training of maritime security professionals. Details of the program are available on the MARAD Web site: http://www.marad.dot.gov.","action":"Notice of availability of maritime security training course approval program.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Maritime Administration","name":"Maritime Administration","id":282,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/maritime-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/282","parent_id":492,"slug":"maritime-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2005/02/08/05-2320.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"70 FR 6748","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: This program is effective February 8, 2005.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"05-2320","effective_on":"2005-02-08","end_page":6749,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2005/02/08/05-2320.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/02/08/05-2320/maritime-security-training-course","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/05-2320?publication_date=2005-02-08","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2005-02-08/05-2320/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":424,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-02-08/pdf/05-2320.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2005-02-08","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2005/02/08/05-2320.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T15:28:01Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":6748,"subtype":null,"title":"Maritime Security Training Course","toc_doc":"Maritime security training course","toc_subject":"Grants and cooperative agreements; availability, etc.:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":70}
