The Federal Maritime Commission (Commission or FMC) was established as an independent regulatory agency by Reorganization Plan No. 7, effective August 12, 1961. Prior to that time, the Federal Maritime Board was responsible for both the regulation of ocean commerce and the promotion of the United States Merchant Marine. Under the reorganization plan, the shipping laws of the U.S. were separated into two categories -- regulatory and promotional. The responsibilities associated with the promotion of an adequate and efficient U.S. Merchant Marine were assigned to the Maritime Administration, now located within the Department of Transportation. The newly-created FMC was charged with the administration of the regulatory provisions of the shipping laws. The Commission is now responsible for the regulation of oceanborne transportation in the foreign commerce of the U.S.The Federal Maritime Commission (Commission or FMC) was established as an independent regulatory agency by Reorganization Plan No. 7, effective August 12, 1961.
