| Ruling: The transportation of the scour protection material between a port in Europe or Canada and the pristine seabed on the outer continental shelf would not be in violation of the Jones Act. |
| Issue: Whether the transportation of the subject scour protection material as described above violates the Jones Act? |
| Item: N/A |
