The Coast Guard' (CG) Admin. Law Judge (ALJ) program promotes safety at sea while protecting mariners' rights and is composed of judges who preside over cases involving mariners' credentials. If a mariner does not meet certain requirements related to safety and security at sea, CG officers are to serve the mariner with a complaint that lists the allegation(s) and initiate proceedings that can result in the mariner's credential being suspended or revoked. This report addresses: (1) the extent to which the ALJ program contains elements designed to foster the decisional independence of ALJs; (2) the extent to which the ALJ program includes protections for mariners; and (3) the outcome of mariner suspension and revocation cases in recent years.
