SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority

    Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 
2002 (Pub. L. 107-295) added section 70112 to Title 46 of the U.S. 
Code, and authorized the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast 
Guard is operating to establish Area Maritime Security Advisory 
Committees for any port area of the United States. (See 33 U.S.C. 1226; 
46 U.S.C.; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; Department of Homeland Security 
Delegation No. 0170.1). The MTSA includes a provision exempting these 
AMSCs from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-
436, 86 Stat. 470 (5 U.S.C. App.2). The AMSCs assist the Captain of the 
Port in the development, review, update, and exercising of the Area 
Maritime Security Plan for their area of responsibility. Such matters 
may include, but are not limited to: Identifying critical port 
infrastructure and operations; identifying risks (threats, 
vulnerabilities, and consequences); determining mitigation strategies 
and implementation methods; developing and describing the process to 
continually evaluate overall port security by considering consequences 
and vulnerabilities, how they may

[[Page 48823]]

change over time, and what additional mitigation strategies can be 
applied; and providing advice to, and assisting the Captain of the Port 
in developing and maintaining the Area Maritime Security Plan.

AMSC Membership

related to maritime or port security operations. The AMSC Eastern Great

community of Northeast Ohio {e.g., qualified harbormasters operating in

Board member to serve as Vice Chairperson of the Sub-Committee and

not receive any salary or other compensation for their service on an 
AMSC. In accordance with 33 CFR 103, members may be selected from the 
Federal, Territorial, or Tribal governments; the State government and 
political subdivisions of the State; local public safety, crisis 
management, and emergency response agencies; law enforcement and 
security organizations; maritime industry, including labor; other port 
stakeholders having a special competence in maritime security; and port

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not discriminate in 
employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, 
political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital 
status, disability and genetic information, age, membership in an 
employee organization, or other non-merit factor. DHS strives to 
achieve a widely diverse candidate pool for all of its recruitment 
actions.

Request for Applications

    Those seeking membership are not required to submit formal 
applications to the local Captain of the Port, however, because we do 
have an obligation to ensure that a specific number of members have the 
prerequisite maritime security experience, we encourage the submission 
of resumes highlighting experience in the maritime and security 
industries.
