The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

The essays in this book, first published in 1988, explore the changes that have occurred in the modern harbour in the 1970s and 1980s and the many roles of the public port in stimulating or responding to these changes. The goal of this study is to understand the modern harbour and public port and the contemporary pressures on them. The contributors’ disciplines range among geography, law, business, political science, and marine affairs.
This report describes a framework constructed to assist in understanding the long run impacts of regulations proposed by the US Coast Guard on domestic marine ports. The port impacts considered pertain to cost, time and reliability. These three factors have a direct bearing on demand for port services and should therefore be considered as part of an assessment of the consequences of proposed regulations. The role of ports in the global supply chain is significant and rapidly evolving. Actions taken through regulations that affect demand for port services have direct implications for international trade and, consequently, the nation's economic well-being. These relationships are the subject of this report. As such, it forms part of an effort by the USCG Office of Standards Evaluation and Development to enhance the process of performing regulatory evaluations, as required by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
