This bill would make the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands eligible for specified ferry-service funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It would define an eligible ferry service to include a service operating, or planned or established with the intent to operate, a regular schedule in the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth and any area within it would be deemed a rural area for the program, and program requirements would include funding for establishing and operating an eligible service there.
