Request for Information on Climate Change

On July 8, 2021, the Coast Guard published a notice of request for information on specific Coast Guard programs, regulations, policies, and procedures that the Coast Guard should consider changing to combat and respond to climate change. The Coast Guard is seeking input to help it address “the cumulative effects of environmental damage, above all from climate change” and “the disproportionately high, adverse climate-related impacts on disadvantaged communities, while also promoting a safe, secure, and resilient marine transportation system that facilitates commerce and secures national security interests.” Comments from the public were closed on October 6, 2021.
