delivery of cargo, and the processing of

passengers at seaports are either not

present or not consistently enforced,

increasing the risk that violators could

quickly remove cargo or contraband.

Many ports do not issue identification

cards to personnel to restrict the access

to vessels, the receipt and delivery of

cargo, and the processing of passengers.

• Vessel manifests, import and

export, are sometimes deficient for

import risk assessment and export

control. Information from them is easier

to use for drug enforcement and

commercial compliance if it is received

as electronic data before the arrival of

vessels.

• Although the Federal government

has established formal structures for

coordinating governmental efforts and

has developed national strategies to

address drug trafficking, terrorism, other

domestic and international crime, and

to guarantee economic mobility, seaport

security per se has not been adequately

addressed. Stronger and more focused

coordination among agencies and

between the public and private sectors

to enhance Security is needed.

Topic of Discussion: Security of Marine

Transportation Systems

The Coast Guard is conducting this

workshop to assess existing MTS

security standards and measures to

gather ideas on possible improvements.

To facilitate discourse during the

workshop attendees should, before

attending the workshop, evaluate threats

to MTS security in such areas as

physical security, operational measures,

and access control. After recognizing

threats to MTS security, the public

should evaluate existing MTS security

standards and measures to identify

vulnerabilities, and then develop

possible adjustments to decrease those

vulnerabilities. The workshop will

provide the public an opportunity to

present ideas and to discuss the threats,

vulnerabilities, and adjustments to MTS

security. In the future we may propose

new or amendatory rules that would

address issues broached during the

workshop.

Three general areas of MTS security,

to wit, physical security, operational

measures, and access control, will

almost certainly arise during the

workshop. Persons planning to attend

the workshop should be prepared to

discuss these general areas as they relate

to security, protection, and economic

performance of the maritime industry.

Workshop attendees will be asked to

discuss a host of possible costs and

benefits that could result from

identifying and addressing physical

security, operational measures, and

access-control vulnerabilities.

We request information about all

current Federal, State, and local

governmental laws, procedures,

regulations, and standards that are

either functioning or that are planned.

We also request industry to provide any

current and planned standards and

procedures covering the security of

vessels and facilities. Finally, we

request recommendations toward

needed improvement or added

regulations. Examples of the types of

information we are interested in

receiving are:

Physical security. Discussions of the

physical security of personnel, ports,

facilities, and vessels might include, but

are not limited to:

• Measures and standards currently

being used at a facility or on board a

vessel.

• Criteria for measures and standards

at a facility or on board a vessel such as

fences, gates, alarms, lighting, antennas,

and personnel on watch.

• Security technologies currently

used or possible to make ports,

facilities, and vessels more secure

against the threat or commission of

crimes or terrorism.

Operational measures. Discussions of

the operational measures for personnel,

ports, facilities, and vessels might

include, but are not limited to:

• Effectiveness of existing passenger

terminals and passenger vessels security

plan requirements.

• Effectiveness of existing terminal

and security plans for ports, vessels,

offshore platforms, and industry.

• Facilities and vessels, other than

passenger terminals and passenger

vessels regulated in 33 CFR parts 120

and 128, which should have security

plans.

• Response plans in place to prevent

criminal and terrorist acts and threats.

• Details of measures taken in

response to such acts and threats.

• Necessity of MTS security

committees and the sharing of

intelligence and threat advisories

between the Coast Guard and industry.

• Criteria and need for a tracking

system for vessels trafficking the

navigable waters of the United States.

Access control. Discussions of access

control for personnel, passengers, and

cargo might include, but are not limited

to:

• Criteria and process for background

check prior to employment.

• Check points that screen personnel,

passengers, cargo, and baggage.

• Additional information, currently

used or deemed necessary to document

or certificate personnel, facilities, and

vessels.

• Types of credentials (such as

identification cards, employment cards,

and access passes) used to limit access.
