CDR S. P. Glenn, U.S. Coast Guard, c/o Commander (mep), Eighth Coast

Street, New Orleans, LA 70130-3396; telephone number (504) 589-6271;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 
[[Page 15811]] initiatives to improve quality and customer service.
    For this year's industry day, we plan to present a series of 
speakers representing all segments of the industry followed by panel 
sessions in the afternoon. These presentations, among other topics, 
will include: the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative, New 
Spill Doctrine, Offshore Issues, ABS Based Alternative Compliance 
Program, Spill Management, Maritime Law Issues, Licensing, and 
Commercial Vessel Safety.
