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 Committees (AMSC) for
any port area of the United States. (See 33 U.S.C. 1226; 46 U.S.C.
70112; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; Department of Homeland Security Delegation
No. 00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.3.) The MTSA includes a provision
exempting these AMSCs from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L.
117-286, 5 U.S.C., ch. 10).
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: 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 FMSC in developing and maintaining the AMSP.
AMSC Composition
The composition of an AMSC is prescribed under 33 CFR 103.305.
Pursuant to the regulation, members may be selected from the Federal,
Territorial, or Tribal government; 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
stakeholders affected by security practices and policies. Members of
the AMSC should have at least five years of experience related to
maritime or port security operations.
AMSC Membership
The Hawaii and American Samoa AMSC has approximately 15 members.
The Committee is seeking to fill two vacancies with this solicitation.
Applicants may be required to pass an appropriate security background
check prior to appointment to the committee. Members' terms 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.
Request for Applications
Those seeking membership are not required to submit formal
applications to the local COTP. However, because the Hawaii and
American Samoa AMSC does have an obligation to ensure that a specific
number of members have the prerequisite maritime security experience,
the submission of resumes highlighting experience in the maritime and
security industries is encouraged.
The Coast Guard 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 other non-merit factor. The Coast Guard
strives to achieve a widely diverse candidate pool for all of its
recruitment actions.
Dated: March 4, 2024.
Aja L. Kirksey,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port/Federal Maritime
Security Coordinator Honolulu.
