Maritime Academy Waiver Form Continued
MARAD will renew OMB collection 2133-0510, which keeps using the Request for Waiver of Service Obligation, Request for Deferment of Service Obligation, and Application for Review forms for graduates of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and State Maritime Academies who participated in the Student Incentive Payment (SIP) Program. There are no changes to the form since the last renewal, and MARAD says the renewal does not add any extra costs to those who use it.
