Marine Safety Office Guam no longer exist as organizational entities.
    Sector Guam is responsible for all Coast Guard Missions in the same 
zone as the one described in 33 CFR part 3, subpart 3.70-15(b). Coast

    The Sector Guam Commander is vested with all the rights, 
responsibilities, duties, and authority of a Group Commander and

the Guam COTP zone; (b) Federal Maritime Security Coordinator (FMSC)

Federal On Scene Coordinator (FOSC) for the Guam COTP zone, consistent 
with the National Contingency Plan; and (d) Officer in Charge of Marine 
Inspection (OCMI) for the Guam Marine Inspection Zone. The Deputy 
Sector Commander is designated alternate COTP, FMSC, FOSC, and OCMI. A 
continuity of operations order has been issued ensuring that all 
previous Section Marianas and Marine Safety Office Guam practices and 
procedures will remain in effect until superseded by Commander, Sector 
Guam. This continuity of operations order addresses existing COTP 
regulations, orders, directives, and policies.
