At first I was going to write that you were incorrect and that this only applied to the LNG jobs; however, I have read over a copy of the letter which can be found here:

(I think this is the letter that is being referred to)
I am actually very concerned regarding a paragraph at the end in relation to "Seagoing employment on a foreign vessel or as an unlicensed person on a US vessel"
I will be trying to get more information on this as this has very wide ranging implications and I feel does not go along with what is written in the US Code in regards to the USMMA obligation.
