Review of Icebreaking Program for the East Coast of the United States

Resumo

The Coast Guard is reviewing its domestic icebreaking mission along the east coast of the United States from Maine to Virginia. Consistent with the President's effort to reinvest government, this review is necessary to assess the effectiveness of the present program, the impacts resulting from changes in the Coast Guard's icebreaking fleet, and the needs of the future. The Coast Guard is requesting comments and data to assist in this review.
