As you know, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) executed a Programmatic Agreement (PA) earlier this year, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), to guide the decommissioning and disposition of the National Historic Landmark (NHL) N.S. Savannah. As stipulated in the PA, MARAD recently published a Notice of Availability / Request for Information (NOA/RFI) in the Federal Register to assist in the identification of parties that may be interested in conveyance of the ship for preservation purposes. As part of the NOA/RFI process, MARAD will host site visits on December 16 & 17th. The notice can be found here:
Federal Register :: National Historic Landmark Nuclear Ship Savannah Available; Request for Information
Technical information associated with this notice, as well as other information about the ship, is available on MARAD’s website:
N.S. Savannah Decommissioning and Disposition | MARAD (dot.gov)
In order to reach as broad a population of interested persons as possible, MARAD is reaching out to individuals and organizations in the maritime and nuclear industries and requesting that they publicize the NOA/RFI, and the opportunity to attend the upcoming site visits. We respectfully request that the Council of American Maritime Museums notify its members of this opportunity.
Please feel free to contact me or Erhard directly by email or phone if you have any questions, or if you need any additional information.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
