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 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, 1231; 46 U.S.C. chapter 

701; 50 U.S.C. 191, 192; 33 CFR 1.05– 

1, 6.01; Department of Homeland 

Security Delegation No. 0170.1). Under 

46 U.S.C. 70112(g)(1)(B), the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) does 

not apply to AMSCs. 

Boston AMSC Purpose 

The AMSCs shall assist the Captain of 

the Port in the development, review, 

update, and exercise 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 

strategies to facilitate the recovery of the 

MTS 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. 

AMSC Composition 

The composition of an AMSC, to 

include the Boston AMSC, 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 affect by security 

practices and policies. Also, at least 7 of 

the AMSC members must each have 5 

or more years of experience related to 

maritime or port security operations. 

AMSC Membership 

The Boston AMSC has 41 members 

who represent Federal, State, local, and 

industry stakeholders from 

Massachusetts. We are seeking to fill 11 

positions 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 5 

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 

an AMSC. 

Request for Applications 

Those seeking membership are not 

required to submit formal applications 

to the local Captain of the Port, 

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. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security does not discriminate in 

selection of Committee members on the 

basis of race, color, religion, sex, 

national origin, political affiliation, 

sexual orientation, gender identity, 

marital status, disability and genetic 

information, age, membership in an 

employee organization, or other nonmerit factor. The Department of 

Homeland Security strives to achieve a 

widely diverse candidate pool for all of 

its recruitment actions.
