Members are expected to register in
Homeport, the Coast Guard maritime
security information system for
providing information (including
sensitive security information) and

security exercise of the Area Maritime
Security Plan. Members will not receive
any salary or other compensation for
their service on the GOMAMSC.
Format of Applications

industries is encouraged.
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
authorizes the Secretary of the
Department in which the Coast Guard is
operating to establish Area Maritime
Security Committees for any port area of
the United States. (See 33 U.S.C. 1226;
46 U.S.C.; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.01;

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App.
(Pub. L. 92–436).
