On February 24, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13777, ‘‘Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda.’’ That Executive Order directs agencies to take specific steps to identify and alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

New Task to the Council

    The U.S. Coast Guard is issuing a new task to NBSAC to provide 
recommendations on whether existing regulations, guidance, and 
information collections (that fall within the scope of the Council's 
charter) should be

[[Page 31341]]

repealed, replaced, or modified. NBSAC will then provide advice and 
recommendations on the assigned task and submit a final recommendation 
report to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Background

    On January 30, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13771, 
``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.'' Under that 
Executive Order, for every one new regulation issued, at least two 
prior regulations must be identified for elimination, and the cost of 
planned regulations must be prudently managed and controlled through a 
budgeting process. On February 24, 2017, the President issued Executive 
Order 13777, ``Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda.'' That Executive 
Order directs agencies to take specific steps to identify and alleviate 
unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people. On March 
28, 2017, the President issued Executive Order 13783, ``Promoting 
Energy Independence and Economic Growth.'' Executive Order 13783 
promotes the clean and safe development of our Nation's vast energy 
resources, while at the same time avoiding agency actions that 
unnecessarily encumber energy production.
    When implementing the regulatory offsets required by Executive 
Order 13771, each agency head is directed to prioritize, to the extent 
permitted by law, those regulations that the agency's Regulatory Reform 
Task Force identifies as outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective in 
accordance with Executive Order 13777. As part of this process to 
comply with all three Executive Orders, the U.S. Coast Guard is 
reaching out through multiple avenues to interested individuals to 
gather their input about what regulations, guidance, and information 
collections, they believe may need to be repealed, replaced, or 
modified. On June 8, 2017, the U.S. Coast Guard issued a general notice 
in the Federal Register requesting comments from interested individuals 
regarding their recommendations, 82 FR 26632. In addition to this 
general solicitation, the U.S. Coast Guard also wants to leverage the 
expertise of its Federal Advisory Committees and is issuing similar 
tasks to each of its Committees. A detailed discussion of each of the 
Executive orders and information on where U.S. Coast Guard regulations, 
guidance, and information collections are found is in the June 8th 
notice.

The Task

    NBSAC is tasked to:
    Provide input to the U.S. Coast Guard on all existing regulations, 
guidance, and information collections that fall within the scope of the

established to work on this tasking in accordance with the Council 
charter and bylaws. The subcommittee(s) shall terminate upon the 
approval and submission of a final recommendation to the U.S. Coast 
Guard from the parent Council.
    2. Review regulations, guidance, and information collections and 
provide recommendations whether an existing rule, information 
collection, or guidance should be repealed, replaced or modified. If 
the Council recommends modification, please provide specific 
recommendations for how the regulation, information collection, or 
guidance should be modified. Recommendations should include an 
explanation on how and to what extent repeal, replacement or 
modification will reduce costs or burdens to industry and the extent to 
which risks to health or safety would likely increase.

burdens in the development or use of domestically produced energy 
resources. ``Burden,'' for the purposes of compliance with Executive 
Order 13783, means ``to unnecessarily obstruct, delay, curtail, or 
otherwise impose significant costs on the siting, permitting, 
production, utilization, transmission, or delivery of energy 
resources.''
    b. Identify regulations, guidance, or information collections that 
potentially impose the following types of costs on the industry:
    i. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing costs 
that are outdated (such as due to technological advancement), or are no 
longer necessary.
    ii. Regulations, guidance, or information collections imposing 
costs which are no longer enforced as written or which are ineffective.

the Council believes have led to the elimination of jobs or inhibits 
job creation within a particular industry.

thereof, recommended by the Council should be described in sufficient 
detail (by section, paragraph, sentence, clause, etc.) so that it can

applicable, for each recommendation. If the data is not readily 
available, the Council should include information as to how such 
information can be obtained either by the Council or directly by Coast 
Guard.
