On Wednesday, U.S. Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), and John Garamendi (D-CA) applauded the passage of H.R. 4996, a bill designed to ease supply chain challenges.
DeFazio, chair of the House Committee on Transportation, said the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 would take steps toward easing supply chain issues by increasing the Federal Maritime Commission’s (FMC) authorizations by 10 percent over the previous fiscal year while strengthening the agency’s oversight and enforcement authority.
