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
