1. CLCO ltr #3972 (2), sub: Appl. for Permission of Change in Steel Fishing Vessel Construction Plan, 30 Nov 48, requests permission to alter the construction plan of fishing vessels formerly authorized on SCAPIN 1120, 10 Aug 45, SCAPIN 1355, 22 Nov 43, and SCAPIN 1745, 14 Jul 47.

3. The Min of Trans, in coordination with the Fisheries Board, endeavored to designate new owners for these vessels and has requested the original plan be altered to meet the latest requirements of the fishing industry. New owners have been allotted, the materials have been allocated and are on hand in the new designated shipyards. Financing has been arranged; none of the concerns are restricted.
4. NRS, Fisheries Div., has stated that these vessels will fit into the projected requirements for replacement of fishing vessels for 1949 and has indicated their approval of the change in the construction plan.
5. Memo for JG cancels authorization to construct 7 steel fishing vessels, totalling 1055 GT, and offers no objection to the construction of 4 steel tuna vessels, 1 fish carrier, and one steel, research and experimenting vessel, totaling 1045 FT.
