SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The past several years, the marine industry
has undergone significant change. A much more competitive marketplace,
an emphasis on quality, regulatory initiatives in response to several
marine casualties, and significant legislation, such as OPA 90, have
influenced and changed the way virtually all segments of the industry
currently conduct business. The Coast Guard also has taken a new
approach as a regulatory agency and embarked on several major
[[Page 15811]] initiatives to improve quality and customer service.
For this year's industry day, we plan to present a series of
speakers representing all segments of the industry followed by panel
sessions in the afternoon. These presentations, among other topics,
will include: the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, New
Spill Doctrine, Offshore Issues, ABS Based Alternative Compliance
Program, Spill Management, Maritime Law Issues, Licensing, and
Commercial Vessel Safety.
