SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Over the past several years, the marine 
industry has undergone significant change. A much more competitive 
marketplace, an emphasis on quality, regulatory initiatives in response 
to several marine casualties, and significant legislation such as OPA 
90 have influenced and changed the way virtually all segments of the 
industry currently conduct business. The Coast Guard also has taken a 
new approach as a regulatory agency and embarked on several major 
initiatives to improve quality and customer service.

    In view of these changes, for this year's industry day, we plan to 
present a series of speakers representing all segments of the industry 
in lieu of the traditional panel sessions. These presentations, among 
other topics, will include the Coast Guard marine safety program's new 
``business plan,'' discussions on the Coast Guard's Maritime Regulatory 
Reform Program, the status of several joint industry-Coast Guard 
initiatives to streamline and improve the vessel inspection process, 
the latest on marine licensing, an update on several industry 
``quality'' programs, and new initiatives in pollution response. The 
presenters will be from both the Coast Guard and industry. The theme 
for this year will be ``A Partnership in Quality.'' The agenda is:
