Summary
The bill lets federal agencies temporarily suspend coastwise endorsement requirements if a shipper proves that no U.S. vessel meeting those rules is available for a specific good. It sets clear timelines for agency decisions, possible extensions, and requires prompt notice to Congress. The aim is to prevent supply disruptions when domestic product carriers are scarce.
