What the agency says
The Federal Maritime Commission (FMC or the Commission) is proposing to revise its rulemaking procedures. The changes would: consolidate informal rulemaking and rulemaking petition requirements into subpart D, clarify ambiguities, remove unnecessary, overly restrictive requirements (such as ex parte requirements), and allow for the FMC to integrate its rulemaking procedures into the Executive Order 12866 centralized regulatory review process, as directed by Executive Order 14215. This proposal would also make conforming changes associated with the FMC's transition to eRulemaking. The FMC invites public comment on all aspects of this proposed rule.
