SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The authority for this notice is 5 U.S.C. 552(a) (``Administrative
Procedure Act''), 46 U.S.C. 70110 (``Maritime Transportation Security
Act''), and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No.
0170.1(II)(97)(f). As delegated, section 70110(a) authorizes the U.S.
Coast Guard to impose conditions of entry on vessels arriving in U.S.
waters from ports that the U.S. Coast Guard has not found to maintain
effective antiterrorism measures. Accordingly, the U.S. Coast Guard has
determined that Somalia is not maintaining effective antiterrorism
measures in its ports and is imposing conditions of entry on vessels
arriving to the U.S. from the ports of Somalia.
With this notice, the current list of countries assessed and not
maintaining effective antiterrorism measures is as follows: Cambodia,
Cameroon, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North
Korea), Equatorial Guinea, Gambia (The), Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Iran,
Iraq, Libya, Madagascar, Micronesia (Federated States of), Nauru, Sao
Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Somalia, Sudan, Suriname, Syria, Timor-
Leste, Venezuela, and Yemen. The current Port Security Advisory is
