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

U.S.C. 1226; 46 U.S.C.; 33 CFR 1.05–1,

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 Area Maritime Security Plan.
