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 46 U.S.C.
70116; 46 U.S.C. 70112; 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, and 86 Stat. 470 (5 U.S.C. App. 2).
New Orleans AMSC Mission
The New Orleans AMSC shall assist the Captain of the Port in the

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; providing advice to, and
assisting the Captain of the Port in developing and maintaining the
AMSP. Details regarding the specific objectives of the New Orleans AMSC
can be found in the charter.
AMSC Composition
The composition of an AMSC, to include the New Orleans AMSC, is
prescribed under 33 CFR 103.305. Pursuant to that regulation, members

safety, crisis management, and emergency response agencies; law

security; and port stakeholders affected by security practices and
