SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Section 70110 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act provides 
that the Secretary of Homeland Security may impose conditions of entry 
into the United States from ports that are not maintaining effective 
anti-terrorism measures. The Coast Guard has been delegated the 
authority by the Secretary to carry out the provisions of this section. 
On May 2, 2005, the Coast Guard published a Notice of policy in the 
Federal Register, (70 FR 22668) announcing that it had determined that 
ports in Nauru, among other countries, were not maintaining effective 
anti-terrorism measures, and imposed conditions of entry. Based on 
recent information, the Coast Guard has determined that Nauru is now 
maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures, and is accordingly 
removing the conditions of entry announced in its previously published 
notice of policy.

    Dated: August 9, 2005.
C.E. Bone,
Rear Admiral, USCG, Director of Port Security.
