Office of Standards Evaluation and Development (CG-523)

This website was created to provide information regarding the Coast Guard's regulatory development program (RDP). The Coast Guard’s regulatory program is unlike any federal agency in terms of the remarkable scope and diversity of subject matters. The Office of Standards Evaluation and Development (CG-523) is a key enabler for the Coast Guard’s RDP processes, providing project management and economic and environmental analyses in coordination with other partners and in support of program offices. CG-523 also leads Coast Guard efforts at the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Facilitation Committee (FAL) and coordinates Coast Guard efforts in industry consensus standards development and integration into our regulations.
