Incorporation by Reference
As an alternative to creating detailed, government-unique standards, the United States Coast Guard and many other federal agencies rely on authority from the Freedom of Information Act to reference in regulations standards produced by external sources. The Office of the Federal Register (OFR) oversees this process, known as "incorporation by reference (IBR)," using its procedures codified in title 1 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Incorporation by Reference. Under OFR procedures, an agency may incorporate all of a standard, specific parts of a standard, or a standard partly modified by the regulations. The Coast Guard typically incorporates information from standards development organizations and intergovernmental organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the International Telecommunications Union. Over the past 60 years, the Coast Guard has incorporated almost 600 standards into more than 3,000 locations in CFR titles 33, Navigation, and 46, Shipping.
