Homeland Security Department discusses Procedures for Debarring Vessels From Entering U.S. Ports on April 12

The US Homeland Security Department published a five page proposed rule on April 12, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The proposed rule is focused on Procedures for Debarring Vessels From Entering U.S. Ports.

The Department was built out of more than 20 agencies in 2002. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lower taxes and boosting federal efficiency, argued the Department is burdened with "unneeded bureaucracy" which could be handled by other departments or standalone operations.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
