Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 128 / Thursday, July 8, 2021 / Notices 36147 

specific suggestions of ways the agency 

can better achieve its statutory and 

regulatory objectives in light of the 

executive orders cited. 

• Commenters should provide 

specific data that document the costs, 

burdens, and benefits of existing 

requirements or programs or proposed 

changes to them, to the extent they are 

available. 

The following questions might help 

guide your comments and suggestions. 

Given the Coast Guard’s current 

missions and statutory authority: 

1. Do you have suggestions for 

changes to our current programs, 

regulations, or policies that would 

combat climate change or bolster 

resilience to the impacts of climate 

change or adapt to its impacts, such as 

sea level rise? 

2. What do you think the primary 

implications of climate change are for 

our mission areas? 

3. How will climate change affect 

Coast Guard programs, missions, 

regulations, and policies in the future? 

4. How might the Coast Guard orient 

or re-orient its efforts to acquire 

information about the effects of climate 

change, and how might it best 

disseminate that information? 

5. How do you think the Coast Guard 

can advance the objectives of 

environmental justice? 

6. Are you aware of any new or 

emerging technologies appropriate for 

use in maritime facilities or other 

industry assets that we should consider 

when exploring alternatives to address 

climate change? 

7. Which Coast Guard mission areas 

do you think are most likely to be 

affected by climate change? How would 

they be affected? 

8. What do you think are the most 

crucial challenges we will face to 

address climate change in our programs, 

missions, regulations, and policies? 

9. Do our existing regulations 

unjustifiably impede or fail to support 

the development and use of 

technologies or best practices that 

would help us address climate change? 

10. Are our regulations restrictive on 

the use of alternative fuels that produce 

fewer harmful emissions? If so, how? 

What, specifically, might we do to 

reduce greenhouse gas emissions? 

11. Do our current polices, such as 

NVICs or other guidance documents, 

impede or fail to support the 

development and use of technologies or 

best practices to address climate 

change? If so, how? 

12. Is the process of requesting a 

determination of equivalency to use an 

alternative approach to regulatory 

requirements that might address climate 

change burdensome? 

13. What regulatory, policy, or other 

incentives could the Coast Guard 

provide to encourage development and 

use of technologies or best practices in 

the marine transportation system to 

combat and respond to climate change? 

14. Are there current Coast Guard 

regulations, guidance, policies, or 

processes that contribute to climate 

change? If so, please explain which ones 

and how. 

15. What sources of existing data or 

studies can Coast Guard use to evaluate 

the economic impact—positive or 

negative—from reducing the 

environmental footprint of USCG 

programs, regulations, or policies with 

regards to climate change? 

16. What do you expect would be the 

positive or negative environmental 

results of the Coast Guard addressing 

climate change in the maritime domain, 

particularly in sensitive areas such as 

the Arctic and U.S. coastal zones? 

17. Are there Coast Guard programs, 

regulations, or policies that do not 

bolster resilience to the impacts of 

climate change, particularly for those 

disproportionately impacted by climate 

change, and, if so, what are they? How 

can those programs, regulations, or 

policies be modified, expanded, 

streamlined, or repealed to bolster 

resilience to the impacts of climate 

change? 

18. Do you have any suggestions for 

any changes to the Coast Guard’s Arctic 

strategy or any Coast Guard Arctic 

programs, such as ice breaking, 

mapping, and charting missions that 

might bolster the Coast Guard’s ability 

to combat and respond to climate 

change? 

In addition to these general questions, 

the Coast Guard seeks any other input 

on the programs and missions described 

above that allows the Coast Guard, 

within our statutory authorities, to 

combat or respond to the climate crisis 

and adapt to its impacts on the maritime 

domain. This request for information is 

used solely for information gathering 

purposes and the responses to this RFI 

do not bind the Coast Guard to any 

further actions related to the response.
