DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[USCG-2011-0975]


National Maritime Security Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Committee Management; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee 
Meeting; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published in the Federal Register of January 
9, 2012, a notice announcing a National Maritime Security Advisory 
Committee (NMSAC) public meeting on January 18-19, 2012, in Arlington, 
VA. This notice corrects that previous notice to add an explanation for 
why 15-days advance notice was not given.

DATES: The Committee will meet on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 from 9 
a.m. to 3 p.m. and Thursday, January 19, 2012 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 
This meeting may close early if all business is finished. Written 
material and requests to make oral presentations should reach us on or 
before January 13, 2012.

ADDRESSES: The Committee will meet at the American Bureau of Shipping, 
1400 Key Blvd., Suite 800, Arlington, VA 22209.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ryan Owens, ADFO of NMSAC, 2100 
2nd Street SW., Stop 7581, Washington, DC 20593-7581; telephone (202) 
372-1108 or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard's January 9, 2012 notice of 
the January 18-19, 2012, NMSAC meeting inadvertently failed to contain 
an explanation for its publication less than 15 calendar days prior to 
the meeting, as required by General Services Administration rules 41 
CFR 102-3.150(b). The reason the notice was published only 9 calendar 
days prior to the meeting was an administrative delay due to the 
Federal holidays. The Coast Guard regrets the delay in publication, but 
notes that the notice was publicly available on the Federal Register 
Web site 13 calendar days prior to the meeting. Additionally, all known 
interested parties were made aware of the meeting with sufficient time 
for planning purposes.
    It is critical that this meeting be held on the announced meeting 
date because delays in committee discussions could have significant 
ramifications for ongoing Coast Guard studies and evaluations on the 
agenda for the upcoming meeting. Maintaining the current meeting 
schedule allows the Coast Guard to continue deliberations and forward 
progress regarding multiple maritime security initiatives.
    If you have been adversely affected by the delay in publishing the 
notice, contact Mr. Ryan Owens (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) 
and the Coast Guard will make every effort to accommodate you.

    Dated: January 6, 2012.
Erin H. Ledford,
Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Chief, Office of 
Regulations and Administrative Law (CG-0943), U.S. Coast Guard.
