SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    The authority for this notice is 5 U.S.C. 552(a) (``Administrative 
Procedure Act''), 46 U.S.C. 70110 (``Maritime Transportation Security 
Act of 2002''), and Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 
00170.1, Revision No. 01.3 (II)(97.f). As delegated, section 70110(a) 
authorizes the Coast Guard to impose conditions of entry on vessels 
arriving in U.S. waters from ports that the Coast Guard has not found 
to maintain effective anti-terrorism measures.
    In 2011, the Coast Guard determined that effective anti-terrorism 
measures were not in place in the ports of Cote d'Ivoire. Accordingly, 
conditions of entry were imposed on vessels arriving from Cote 
d'Ivoire. Based on recent assessments, the Coast Guard has determined 
that Cote d'Ivoire is maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures, 
and the Coast Guard is, accordingly, removing the conditions of entry 
announced in previously published Notices. With this notice, the 
current list of countries assessed and not maintaining effective anti-
terrorism measures is as follows: Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, 
Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, 
Libya, Madagascar, Micronesia, Nauru, Nigeria, Republic of Seychelles, 
Sao Tome and Principe, Syria, Timor-Leste, Venezuela, and Yemen. The 
current Port Security Advisory is available at: http://www.dco.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-Prevention-Policy-CG-5P/International-Domestic-Port-Assessment/.
