SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Basis and Purpose
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
(ASMC) 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 (FMSC) in the development, review, update, and
exercising of the Area Maritime Security Plan (AMSP) for their area of
responsibility. Such matters may include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(1) Identifying critical port infrastructure and operations;
Identifying risks (threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences).
(2) Determining mitigation strategies and implementation methods.
(3) Developing strategies to facilitate the recovery of the
Maritime Transportation System after a Transportation Security
Incident.
(4) 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
(5) 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. We are seeking to fill
one (1) Sub-Committee vacancies with this solicitation, an Executive
Board member to serve as Vice-Chairperson; the position will serve
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
[[Page 27920]]
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.
Dated: April 17, 2023.
Mark I. Kuperman,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port & Federal Maritime
Security Coordinator, Buffalo.
