SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority 

Section 102 of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 

2002 (Pub. L. 107–295) added section 

70112 to Title 46 of U.S. Code, and 

authorized the Secretary of the 

Department in which the Coast Guard is 

operating to establish AMSCs for any 

port area of the United States. (See 33 

U.S.C. 1226; 46 U.S.C. 70112(a)(2); 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), 5 U.S.C. App. 2 (Pub. L. 92– 

436). The AMSCs shall assist the 

Captain of the Port in the development, 

review, update, and exercising of the 

AMS 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 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 

Captain of the Port in, developing the 

AMS Plan. 

AMSC Composition 

The composition of an AMSC, to 

include the AMSC Eastern Great Lakes 

and its sub-committees, is controlled by 

33 CFR 103.305. Accordingly, 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. Also, members 

must have at least 5 years of experience 

related to maritime or port security 

operations. 

AMSC Eastern Great Lakes Vacancies 

Currently, there are multiple 

vacancies on the Eastern Great Lakes 

AMSC. Vacancies for each of the five 

regional subcommittees are as follows: 

(1) Northeast Ohio Region (2 

members): Executive Board member 

representing local MTSA regulated, 33 

CFR part 105, facilities of Northeast

Chairperson of the subcommittee and

that a specific number of members have 

the requisite maritime security 

experience, however, we encourage the 

submission of resumes that highlight 

experience in the maritime and security 

industries. 

Applicants may be required to pass an 

appropriate security background check 

before appointment to the committee or 

one of its sub-committees. The term of 

office for each vacancy is 5 years. 

However, a member may serve one 

additional term of office. Members will 

not receive any salary or other 

compensation for their service on the 

AMSC. Applicants must register and 

remain active as Coast Guard 

HOMEPORT users if appointed. 

In support of the policy of the USCG 

on gender and ethnic diversity, we 

encourage qualified men and women of 

all racial and ethnic groups to apply.
