DOT seeks information from State, metropolitan, and local agencies; law enforcement; industry; stakeholders (e.g., carriers, shippers, drivers, warehouse operators (including at airports), insurers); and the public to aid in the development of strategies and potential programs to reduce cargo theft, strengthen supply chain security, and create a safe operating environment for freight stakeholders and the traveling public.","document_number":"2025-18159","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/09/19/2025-18159/protecting-americas-supply-chain-from-cargo-theft-request-for-information","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-09-19/pdf/2025-18159.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-18159.pdf?1758199515","publication_date":"2025-09-19","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of the Secretary"}],"excerpts":"national <span class=\"match\">security</span>.
