Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends federal maritime law to establish a waiver process for coastwise endorsement requirements—rules that restrict certain cargo shipments to U.S.-built and U.S.-flagged vessels. Under the bill, federal agencies may temporarily waive these requirements when a shipper demonstrates that no compliant product carrier is available and has made a good-faith effort to find one. Waivers expire within 30 days but may be extended, and agencies must respond to waiver requests within 60 days or the request is automatically granted. The bill requires agencies to notify Congress within 48 hours of receiving or issuing any waiver.
