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 shall assist the Federal 
Maritime Security Coordinator 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 strategies 
to facilitate the recovery of the Maritime Transportation System after 
a Transportation Security Incident; Developing and describing the 
process to continually evaluate overall port security by considering 
consequences and vulnerabilities, how they may change over time, and 
what additional mitigation strategies can be applied; and Providing 
advice to, and assisting the Federal Maritime Security Coordinator in 
developing and maintaining the Area Maritime Security Plan.

AMSC Membership

    Members of the AMSC should have at least five years of experience 
related to maritime or port security operations. The Northwestern 
Pennsylvania Region Sub-Committee of the Eastern Great Lakes AMSC has 
23 members. We are seeking to fill one (1) vacancy with this 
solicitation, an Executive Board member to serve as Vice-Chairperson of 
the Sub-Committee and concurrently as a member of the Eastern Great 
Lakes AMSC when so convened by the FMSC.
    Applicants may be required to pass an appropriate security 
background check prior to appointment to the committee. Applicants must 
register with and remain active as a Coast Guard Homeport user if 
appointed. Member's term of office will be for five years; however, a 
member is eligible to serve additional terms of office. Members will 
not receive any salary or other compensation for their service on an 
AMSC. In accordance with 33 CFR 103, members may be selected from 
Federal, Territorial, or Tribal governments; 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 
stakeholders affected by security practices and policies.
    The Department of Homeland Security does not discriminate in 
selection of committee members 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 any other non-merit factor. 
The Department of Homeland Security 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.
