  • Abstract:
    This report describes a framework constructed to assist in understanding the long run ; impacts of regulations proposed by the US Coast Guard on domestic marine ports. The ; port impacts considered pertain to cost, time and reliability. These three factors have a ; direct bearing on demand for port services and should therefore be considered as part of ; an assessment of the consequences of proposed regulations. The role of ports in the ; global supply chain is significant and rapidly evolving. Actions taken through ; regulations that affect demand for port services have direct implications for international ; trade and, consequently, the nation’s economic well-being.1 These relationships are the ; subject of this report. As such, it forms part of an effort by the USCG Office of ; Standards Evaluation and Development to enhance the process of performing regulatory ; evaluations, as required by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).2 ; This framework focuses on the container port sector of the overall port industry. This is ; done to make the analysis more manageable, but also in recognition of the fact that this ; sector has been the principal driver of the changes in ports and, as a result, supply chain ; management, over the last 20 years.
