SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
The authority for this notice is 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110
(``Maritime Transportation Security Act''), and Department of Homeland
Security Delegation No. 00170.1(II)(97)(f), Revision No. 01.4. As
delegated, 46 U.S.C. 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.
The Coast Guard finds that ports in the Republic of Sudan fail to
maintain effective anti-terrorism measures and that the Republic of
Sudan's designated authority's oversight, access control, security
monitoring, security training programs, and security plans drills and
exercises are all deficient. For these reasons, the Coast Guard
announces that it will impose conditions of entry on vessels arriving
from the country of the Republic of Sudan. Conditions of entry are
intended to protect the United States from vessels arriving from
countries that have been found to have deficient port anti-terrorism
measures in place.
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, Sao
Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Sudan, Syria, Timor-Leste, Venezuela,
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/.
