The ANPR is part of the agency’s plan for a retrospective review of its existing rules. It seeks changes to ocean transportation intermediary (OTI) regulations with the purpose of adapting to changing industry conditions, improving regulatory effectiveness, improving transparency, streamlining processes, and reducing regulatory burdens. The Chairman’s speech highlighted how, through clarification and recognition of changing industry conditions, many of the proposed changes will make the Commission\u2019s regulatory process more efficient. The Chairman\u2019s remarks also focused on maintaining a credible licensing and renewal program. During the question and answer session, the Chairman spoke in more detail with LACBFFA members regarding specific changes and how, with a credible licensing system, the value of an OTI license is protected and enhanced.<\/p>\n<p>This outreach with stakeholders in the industry continues his commitment of protecting the shipping public and working with the OTI industry to hear concerns and recommendations.
