I. Basis and Purpose 

Section 102 of the Maritime 

Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 

2002 (Pub. L. 107–295, 116 Stat. 2064) 

added section 70112 of 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; DHS Delegation No. 

00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.3. The 

Puget Sound AMSC Advisory 

Committee shall assist the Federal 

Maritime Security Coordinator in the 

development, review, update, and 

exercising of the Area Maritime Security 

Plan for their area of responsibility. 

Such matters may include, but are not 

limited to, the following: 

(1) Identifying critical port 

infrastructure and operations; 

Identifying risks (threats, 

vulnerabilities, and consequences). 

(2) Determining mitigation strategies 

and implementation methods. 

(3) Developing strategies to facilitate 

the recovery of the MTS after a 

Transportation Security Incident. 

(4) 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. 

(5) Providing advice to and assisting 

the Federal Maritime Security 

Coordinator in developing and 

maintaining the Area Maritime Security 

Plan. 

(6) Working together with other 

AMSC Federal Agency Observers and 

Other Agency Participants, as well as 

maritime community members and port 

security professionals to improve the 

overall maritime security of the greater 

Puget Sound area. 

II. AMSC Membership 

The Puget Sound AMSC Advisory 

Committee has approximately 15 

vacancies for appointed members. We 

are seeking to fill appointed member 

vacancies with this solicitation. 

Applicants may be required to pass an 

appropriate security background check 

prior to appointment to the committee. 

Applicants must register with and 

remain active as a Coast Guard 

Homeport user if appointed. Terms of 

office will be for five years; however, a 

member is eligible to serve additional 

terms of office. Members should have at 

least five years of experience related to 

maritime or port security operations. 

Members will not receive any salary or 

other compensation for their service on 

the Puget Sound AMSC Advisory 

Committee. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 103, 

members may be selected from Federal, 

Territorial, or Tribal governments; 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 partners 

having a special competence in 

maritime security; and port partners 

affected by security practices and 

policies. 

The Coast Guard does not 

discriminate in selecting committee 

members on the basis of race, color, 

religion, sex, national origin, political 

affiliation, sexual orientation, gender 

identity, marital status, disability, 

genetic information, age, membership in 

an employee organization, or any other 

non-merit factor. The Coast Guard 

strives to achieve a widely diverse 

candidate pool for all its recruitment 

actions. 

III. Request for Applications 

Those seeking membership are not 

required to submit formal applications 

to the local COTP. However, because we 

do 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.
