SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    Title 46, Section 70110, United States Code, enacted as part of 
section 102(a) of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 
(Pub. L. 107-295, Nov. 25, 2002) authorizes the Secretary of Homeland 
Security to impose conditions of entry on vessels requesting entry into 
the United States arriving from ports that are not maintaining 
effective anti-terrorism measures. It also requires public notice of 
the ineffective anti-terrorism measures. The Secretary has delegated to 
the Coast Guard authority to carry out the provisions of this section. 
Previous notices have imposed or removed conditions of entry on vessels 
arriving from certain countries. All such notices are available for 
review online by going to http://homeport.uscg.mil, clicking on the 
``Maritime Security'' and then ``International Port Security Program'' 
tabs, and then following the link.
    On February 25, 2008, the Coast Guard published a Notice of Policy 
in the Federal Register, (73 FR 10042), announcing that it had 
determined that ports in the Republic of Indonesia, with certain 
exceptions, were not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures, and 
imposed conditions of entry.
    Based on recent information, the Coast Guard has determined that 
the Republic of Indonesia is now maintaining effective anti-terrorism 
measures. Accordingly, the Coast Guard is removing the conditions of 
entry announced in the previously published Notice of Policy. With this 
notice, the current list of countries not maintaining effective anti-
terrorism measures is as follows: Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, Cote 
d'Ivoire, Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Liberia, 
Madagascar, Sao Tome and Principe, Syria, Timor-Leste, Venezuela, and 
Yemen. This current list is also available in the policy notice 
available on the Homeport system as described in the ADDRESSES section 
above.
    This notice is issued under authority of 46 U.S.C. 70110(d).

    Dated: November 3, 2012.
Joseph Servidio,
Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Prevention 
Policy.
