S&P Journal of Commerce: Congressmen push FMC to form national advisory committee on port matters

Two members of Congress are urging the US Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to create a committee that would advise regulators on port-related matters of national interest, similar to an existing group of shippers who have the FMC’s ear on issues linked to policy and regulation. Giving a national port advisory committee access to the FMC would level the playing field with the National Shipping Advisory Committee (NSAC), according to Reps. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) and Mike Ezell (R-Miss.), members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. NSAC has met regularly for the past two years after its formation in 2021. https://www.joc.com/article/congressmen-push-fmc-form-national-advisory-committee-port-matters_20231205.html |
