South Louisiana AMS Committee 

Membership 

Applicants should have at least five 

years of experience related to maritime 

or port security operations. The South 

Louisiana AMS Committee currently 

has twenty-four members, which 

includes maritime industry members in 

addition to government agency 

members. We are seeking new members 

interested in improving maritime 

security along the Louisiana coast, west 

of the Mississippi River. Applicants 

may be required to pass an appropriate 

security background check prior to 

appointment to the committee. 

Members’ term of office will be for 

five years; however, a member is eligible 

to serve an additional term of office. 

Members will not receive any salary or 

other compensation for their service on 

the South Louisiana AMS Committee. In 

support of the policy of the Coast Guard 

on gender and ethnic diversity, we 

encourage qualified women and 

members of minority groups to apply. 

Request for Applications 

Applicants seeking AMS Committee 

membership are not required to submit 

formal applications to the local COTP/ 

FMSC. However, because we 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. Applications should include 

the applicant’s name, employer, 

relationship to maritime industry and 

port interests, and general maritime 

security-related experience.

Use of Reports of Marine Casualty in 

Claims Process by National Pollution 

Funds Center 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of interpretation; 

response to comments received. 

SUMMARY: On October 13, 2006, the 

Coast Guard published a notice of 

interpretation that the prohibition in 46 

U.S.C. 6308 on the use of any part of a 

report of a Coast Guard marine casualty 

investigation report (MCIR) in certain 

administrative proceedings does not 

prohibit use of such reports in the 

process used by the Coast Guard’s 

National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC) 

for determining to pay or deny claims 

under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. We 

received two comments in response to 

the notice, neither of which effects the 

interpretation. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions on this notice, please contact 

Benjamin White, U.S. Coast Guard’s 

National Pollution Funds Center 

(NPFC), telephone 202–493–6863. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2006, we published a notice 

of interpretation entitled ‘‘Use of 

Reports of Marine Casualty in Claims 

Process by National Pollution Funds 

Center’’ (71 FR 60553). The notice 

provided for a comment period ending 

November 13, 2006. 

Background and Purpose 

The Coast Guard investigates and 

reports on marine casualties pursuant to 

46 U.S.C. Chapter 63. Under 46 U.S.C. 

6308 no part of a report of a marine 

casualty investigation ‘‘shall be 

admissible as evidence or subject to 

discovery in any civil or administrative 

proceedings, other than an 

administrative proceeding initiated by 

the United States.’’ Marine casualties 

may result in the discharge or 

substantial threat of discharge of oil to 

the navigable waters, adjoining 

shorelines or the exclusive economic 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
