U.S Coast Guard (USCG) guidance calls for an annual inspection to ensure that plans are being followed. Federal law enacted in October 2006 required such facilities to be inspected two times a year--one of which is to be conducted unannounced. The USCG plans to conduct one announced inspection and the other as a less comprehensive unannounced "spot check." GAO examined the extent to which the USCG (1) has met inspection requirements and found facilities to be complying with their plans, (2) has determined the availability of trained personnel to meet current and future facility inspection requirements, and (3) has assessed the effectiveness of its facility inspection program and ensured that program compliance data collected and reported are reliable. GAO analyzed USCG compliance data, interviewed inspectors and other stakeholders in 7 of 35 USCG sectors of varying size, geographic location, and type of waterway. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-12/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-12.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-12/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-12.pdf GAO-08-12 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-12 Other Written Product GAO-08-12; Maritime Security: Coast Guard Inspections Identify and Correct Facility Deficiencies, but More Analysis Needed of Program's Staffing, Practices, and Data; Access control Coast Guard personnel Data integrity Documentation Emergency response plans Facility security Federal facilities Homeland security Inspection Internal controls Investigations by federal agencies Maritime security Personnel management Port security Program evaluation Volume 107 Page 285 107 Stat. 285 Volume 116 Page 2064 116 Stat. 2064 Volume 118 Page 1028 118 Stat. 1028 Volume 120 Page 1884 120 Stat. 1884 Public Law 103-62 Public Law 107-295 Public Law 108-293 Public Law 109-347 Title 33 Part 105.255 33 CFR Part 105.255 Title 33 Part 105.225 33 CFR Part 105.225 Title 33 Part 105.260 33 CFR Part 105.260 Title 33 Part 105.220 33 CFR Part 105.220 Title 33 Part 105.415 33 CFR Part 105.415 Title 33 Part 105.205 33 CFR Part 105.205 Title 33 Part 105.200 33 CFR Part 105.200 Title 33 Part 105.210 33 CFR Part 105.210 Title 33 Part 105.250 33 CFR Part 105.250 Title 33 Part 105.405 33 CFR Part 105.405 Title 33 Part 105.215 33 CFR Part 105.215 Title 33 Part 105.245 33 CFR Part 105.245 Title 33 Part 105.270 33 CFR Part 105.270 Title 33 Part 105.275 33 CFR Part 105.275 Title 33 Part 105.145 33 CFR Part 105.145 Title 33 Part 105.235 33 CFR Part 105.235 Title 33 Part 105.400 33 CFR Part 105.400 Title 33 Part 105.125 33 CFR Part 105.125 Title 33 Part 105.120 33 CFR Part 105.120 Title 33 Part 105.280 33 CFR Part 105.280 Title 33 Part 105.265 33 CFR Part 105.265 Title 33 Part 105.295 33 CFR Part 105.295 Title 33 Part 105.140 33 CFR Part 105.140 Title 33 Part 105.230 33 CFR Part 105.230 Title 33 Part 105.410 33 CFR Part 105.410 Title 33 Part 105.305 33 CFR Part 105.305 Title 33 Part 105.310 33 CFR Part 105.310 Title 33 Part 105.105 33 CFR Part 105.105 Title 33 Part 105.290 33 CFR Part 105.290 Title 33 Part 105.300 33 CFR Part 105.300 Title 33 Part 105.240 33 CFR Part 105.240 Title 33 Part 105.100 33 CFR Part 105.100 Title 33 Part 105.110 33 CFR Part 105.110 Title 33 Part 105.296 33 CFR Part 105.296 Title 33 Part 105.285 33 CFR Part 105.285 Title 33 Part 105.135 33 CFR Part 105.135 Title 33 Part 105.106 33 CFR Part 105.106
