Correct Answer:

Change to law, rulemaking, recommended Congress change law, civil penalties, Vessel COI, pollution cleanup

Explanation:

Administrative investigations by government agencies are meant to determine whether regulations are being followed and what actions are needed to address any violations. They provide the basis for changing or refining laws and rules (through rulemaking or recommendations to Congress to change the law), and they can lead to enforcement measures such as civil penalties, requirements related to a vessel’s Certificate of Inspection, and orders to clean up pollution. These investigations focus on ensuring safety, compliance, and environmental protection, rather than on public relations, internal performance reviews, or negotiating trade deals.
