SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Authority
Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of
2002 (Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064) 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. 70112; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.4).
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
assist the FMSC in the development, review, updating, 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 FMSC in developing and maintaining the AMSP.
II. AMSC Composition
The composition of an AMSC Executive Steering Committee is
prescribed under 33 CFR 103.305. Pursuant to that 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.
III. AMSC Membership
The Gulf of Mexico AMSC Executive Steering Committee currently has
6 members. We are seeking to add 10 to 15 members 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 the AMSC.
IV. Request for Applications
Those seeking membership are not required to submit formal
applications to the local FMSC; However, because the Gulf of Mexico
AMSC Executive Steering Committee does have an obligation to ensure
that a specific number of members have the prerequisite maritime
security
[[Page 83897]]
experience, the submission of resumes highlighting experience in the
maritime and security industries is encouraged.
The Coast Guard does not discriminate in selection of Area Maritime
Security Advisory 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.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Maritime Security Coordinator
Gulf of Mexico.
