Industry Advisory — Applicability of Provisions Contained in PL 117-146

Posted

On June 16, 2022, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 became Public Law 117-146.

Certain provisions of the statute became effective immediately upon enactment with no allowance for a phase-in period.

Regulated entities must comply with all relevant statutory requirements.

An opinion of the General Counsel on this issue is available. Please note that opinions of the General Counsel do not constitute the judgment of the Federal Maritime Commission, nor bind the Commission in any subsequent matter.

Parties with questions related to their obligations should consult with their legal counsel.
