NMMA recaps Trump Administration boating-specific deregulation

The National Marine Manufacturers Association has been working with the Trump Administration to ease regulatory burdens on issues benefiting the recreational boating industry.

In 2017, federal agencies issued 67 deregulatory actions while imposing only three new regulatory actions, minimizing redundancy and duplication that drains companies’ resources, NMMA recently reported.

Agencies also achieved $8.1 billion in lifetime net regulatory cost savings, the equivalent of $570 million per year.

The administration recently released its 2018 Regulatory Plan and Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.

Agencies plan on achieving even more regulatory rollbacks in FY 2018 compared with FY 2017, and plan to issue at least three deregulatory actions for every one new regulation.

In this Administration, agencies have withdrawn or delayed 1,579 planned regulatory actions, and
635 regulations were withdrawn.

A total of 244 regulations were made inactive and 700 regulations were delayed.

For the first time, the Federal regulatory database will identify whether regulations are anticipated to be net regulatory or deregulatory.

Reginfo.gov will now provide a list of inactive regulatory actions, not released in previous administrations.

NMMA will continue to work with the Administration on regulatory reform, specifically on issues benefiting the recreational boating industry including the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), Carryover Certification Applications, Bio Butanol approval, and more.

  1. Thank you for keeping us informed on the politics.
    I think we should hear more specifically on these
    deregulations.
    We don’t want it to be a surprise the day key words like
    “spark arrested” and”level floatation” disappear from boating.
