WASHINGTON — The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) announced the transition completion of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and environmental compliance work for deepwater port licenses Friday.

This change exemplifies President Trump’s dedication to restoring America’s maritime dominance. It streamlines the environmental review process, eliminates duplicative and overly burdensome requirements and reduces costs to industry while maintaining robust U.S. maritime safety standards.

This transition reflects the Trump administration’s commitment to promoting American energy, regulatory efficiency and interagency collaboration.
