The Federal Maritime Commission can write regulations to carry out its duties. Starting with the fiscal year 2021 budget and every two years after, it must also send Congress a transparency report on the status of every unfinished rulemaking. Each report entry must include details like the rule's title, current stage, deadline, docket number, and reasons for any delay.
(a) In general. The Commission may write regulations needed to carry out its duties and powers.
(b) Transparency. (1) Along with the President's budget submission for fiscal year 2021, and every two years after that, the Commission must send Congress reports on its progress toward finishing every unfinished rulemaking, whether or not that rulemaking has a legal deadline. (2) For each unfinished rulemaking, the report must clearly state*: its popular title (A); its current stage (B); a short summary (C); what prompted it (D); any legal deadline (E); its docket number (F); when it started (G); the date of its next expected action (H); and, if an earlier report's expected next-action date was missed, why (I).
The Federal Maritime Commission may prescribe regulations to carry out its duties and powers.
In conjunction with the transmittal by the President to the Congress of the Budget of the United States for fiscal year 2021 and biennially thereafter, the Federal Maritime Commission shall submit to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives reports that describe the Commission’s progress toward addressing the issues raised in each unfinished regulatory proceeding, regardless of whether the proceeding is subject to a statutory or regulatory deadline.
Each report under paragraph (1) shall, among other things, clearly identify for each unfinished regulatory proceeding—
the popular title;
the current stage of the proceeding;
an abstract of the proceeding;
what prompted the action in question;
any applicable statutory, regulatory, or judicial deadline;
the associated docket number;
the date the rulemaking was initiated;
a date for the next action; and
if a date for the next action identified in the previous report is not met, the reason for the delay.
