SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Basis and Purpose
Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of
2002 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. The MTSA
includes a provision exempting these AMSCs from the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). The AMSCs assist the Federal
[[Page 88104]]
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 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: December 14, 2023.
Mark I. Kuperman,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port & Federal Maritime
Security Coordinator, Eastern Great Lakes.
