Office of Standards Evaluation and Development (CG-REG)
Mission
CG-REG's
main mission is to enable sound regulatory and policy development to
guide and enhance the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety, Security and
Stewardship missions by providing project management and analytic
support to the various mission program offices at Coast Guard
Headquarters. Our main role is to assist subject matter experts in
navigating through what can be a complex Regulatory Development
Program (RDP) process.
In addition to our regulatory work, CG-REG is proud of its
outreach efforts.
International Partnership
The US Coast Guard has been a key participant and the primary U.S. representative to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for all policy development since the IMO Convention entered into force 50 years ago. Numerous US Coast Guard offices and personnel with various skillsets take the lead in addressing international maritime issues with the help of various government and industry advisors through the Facilitation Committee (FAL). The FAL was established in May 1972 and deals with IMO's work in eliminating unnecessary formalities and "red tape" in international shipping. Participation in the Facilitation Committee is open to all Member States of IMO. Click here for additional information.
Domestic Partnership
The Merchant Marine Personnel Advisory Committee (MERPAC) was first established in 1992 at the request of the Commandant. MERPAC's purpose is to advise the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), via the Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard, on matters relating to the training, qualification, licensing, certification and fitness of seamen in the merchant marine.
