Closure of Investigation Into Conditions Affecting United States Carriers in Connection With Canadian Ballast Water Regulation in the United States/Canada Great Lakes Trade

摘要

The Federal Maritime Commission (Commission) has closed its investigation, initiated pursuant to chapter 423, into conditions created by the Government of Canada (Canada) in connection with regulation of ballast water management systems that may adversely affect the operation of United States carriers in the United States/ Canada Great Lakes trade. Although sufficient short-term improvements have been made to the conditions under review, the Commission's parallel long-term investigation of those conditions pursuant to chapter 421 will remain open.
