Following President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order reshaping development of the federal workforce, the Federal Maritime Commission has eliminated portions of its 2022-2026 strategic plan that focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.

The FMC, which regulates U.S. international ocean transportation, announced the changes in a brief statement Wednesday.

"Pursuant to Executive Order, Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing, and implementing guidance from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management ("Initial Guidance Regarding DEIA Executive Orders", January 21, 2025), the following sections of the Federal Maritime Commission's 2022-2026 Strategic Plan are no longer in effect as of January 24, 2025: Objective 2.1 (page 9) - plan for future equity review; Objective 2.3 (page 12) - plan for future equity review; Stewardship Objective (page 15) - agency commitment to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; Stewardship sub-objectives S.2.1 and S.2.2 (pages 17-18); Equity Statement (page 19). The Commission will develop and publish a revised Strategic Plan as soon as is practicable."
