This week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released its semi-annual regulatory
agenda
which outlines all current and projected rulemakings, existing regulations,
and completed actions of DHS and its components. The regulatory agenda
indicates that the Coast Guard expects to update its Maritime Transportation Security
Act (MTSA) regulations by incorporating requirements from legislation implemented
since the original publication of MTSA. The Coast Guard anticipates issuing a “MTSA II”
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) by September 2012.
