Authority
Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-295) added section 70112 to Title 46 of the U.S. Code, and authorized the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating to establish Area Maritime Security Advisory Committees for any port area of the United States. (See 46 U.S.C. 70116; 46 U.S.C. 70112; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1). The MTSA includes a provision exempting these AMSCs from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92-436, and 86 Stat. 470 (5 U.S.C. App. 2).
New Orleans AMSC Mission
The New Orleans AMSC shall assist the Captain of the Port in the development, review, update, and exercising of the Area Maritime Security Plan (AMSP) for their respective area of responsibility. Such matters may include, but are not limited to: identifying critical port infrastructure and operations; identifying risks (threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences); determining mitigation strategies and implementation methods; developing strategies to facilitate the recovery of the Maritime Transportation System after a Transportation Security Incident; developing and describing the process to continually evaluate overall port security by considering consequences and vulnerabilities, how they may change over time, and what additional mitigation strategies can be applied; providing advice to, and assisting the Captain of the Port in developing and maintaining the AMSP. Details regarding the specific objectives of the New Orleans AMSC can be found in the charter.

Pursuant to that regulation, members may be selected from the Federal, Territorial, or Tribal government; State government and political subdivisions of the State; local public safety, crisis management, and emergency response agencies; law enforcement and security organizations; maritime industry, including labor; other port stakeholders having a special competence in maritime security; and port stakeholders affected by security practices and policies.
