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;
46 U.S.C.; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.) The MTSA includes a provision exempting these
Area Maritime Security (AMS) Committees from the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-436, 86 Stat. 470 (5 U.S.C. App.
2).
Pittsburgh AMSC Purpose

update, and exercising 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 Maritime Transportation Security
(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; and
Providing advice to, and assisting the Captain of the Port in
developing and maintaining the Area maritime Security Plan.
Pittsburgh AMSC Membership
Members of the AMSC should have at least 5 years of experience
related to maritime or port security operations. The Pittsburgh AMSC is
comprised of individuals who represent Federal, State, local, and
industry stakeholders from Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. We
are seeking to fill up to three positions with this solicitation.
Applicants may be required to pass an appropriate security background
check prior to appointment to the committee. Members' term of office
will be for 5 years, however, a member is eligible to serve an
additional term of office. Members will not receive any salary or other
compensation for their service on the AMSC. In support of the policy of
the Coast Guard on gender and ethnic diversity, we encourage qualified
men and women and members of all racial and ethnic groups to apply.
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 r[eacute]sum[eacute]s highlighting experience in the maritime and
security industries.
