SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Section 70110 of the Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002
(Pub. L. 107–295, Nov. 25, 2002) (46
U.S.C. 70110) provides that the
Secretary of Homeland Security may
impose conditions of entry on vessels
requesting entry into the United States
arriving from ports that are not
maintaining effective anti-terrorism
measures, may deny entry into the
United States to any vessel that does not
meet such conditions set forth herein,
and shall provide public notice for
passengers of the ineffective
antiterrorism measures. The Coast
Guard has been delegated the authority
by the Secretary to carry out the
provisions of this section. Previous
notices have imposed or removed
conditions of entry on vessels arriving
from certain countries and those
conditions of entry and the countries

they pertain to remain in effect unless
modified by this notice.
Based on an assessment conducted
pursuant to the provisions of 46 U.S.C.
70108 and the International Ship and
Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, the
Coast Guard has determined that ports
in Madagascar are not maintaining
effective anti-terrorism measures.
Inclusive to this determination is an
assessment that Madagascar presents
significant risk of introducing
instruments of terror into international
maritime commerce.
Consistent with 46 U.S.C. 70109, the
United States notified Madagascar of
this determination on May 17, 2007, and
identified steps necessary to improve
the antiterrorism measures in
Madagascar. To date, the United States
cannot confirm that the identified
deficiencies have been corrected.
Accordingly, effective December 4,
2009 the Coast Guard will impose the
following conditions of entry on vessels
that visited ports in Madagascar, with
the exception of vessels arriving from
the port of Toamasina (also known as
Tamatave) during their last five port
calls. Vessels must:
• Implement measures per the ship’s
security plan equivalent to ‘‘Security
Level 2’’ while in a port in Madagascar.
As defined in the ISPS Code and
incorporated herein, ‘‘Security Level 2’’
refers to the ‘‘level for which
appropriate additional protective
security measures shall be maintained
for a period of time as a result of
heightened risk of a security incident.’’
• Ensure that each access point to the
ship is guarded and that the guards have
total visibility of the exterior (both
landside and waterside) of the vessel
while the vessel is in ports in
Madagascar. Guards may be provided by
the ship’s crew, however additional
crewmembers should be placed on the
ship if necessary to ensure that limits on
maximum hours of work are not
exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest
are met. Guards may also be provided
by outside security forces approved by
the ship’s master and ‘‘Company
Security Officer.’’ As defined in the
ISPS Code and incorporated herein,
‘‘Company Security Officer’’ refers to
the ‘‘person designated by the Company
for ensuring that a ship security
assessment is carried out; that a ship
security plan is developed, submitted
for approval, and thereafter
implemented and maintained and for
liaison with port facility security
officers and the ship security officer.’’
• Attempt to execute a Declaration of
Security while in port in Madagascar;
• Log all security actions in the ship’s
log; and
E:\FR\FM\20NON1.SGM
20NON1
60284
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 223 / Friday, November 20, 2009 / Notices
• Report actions taken to the
cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the
Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters.
In addition, based on the findings of a
Coast Guard boarding or examination,
vessels may be required to ensure that
each access point to the ship is guarded
by armed security guards and that they
have total visibility of the exterior (both
landside and waterside) of the vessel
while in U.S. ports. The number and
position of the guards has to be
acceptable to the cognizant Coast Guard
Captain of the Port prior to the vessel’s
arrival. Consistent with 46 U.S.C. 70110,
the United States may deny entry into
the United States to any vessel that does
not meet the conditions set forth herein.
This notice also informs passengers of
the ineffective antiterrorism measures at
ports in Madagascar with the exception
of the Port of Toamasina, also known as
Tamatave.
This notice is issued under authority
of 46 U.S.C. 70110(a).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Section 70110 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002
(Pub. L. 107-295, Nov. 25, 2002) (46 U.S.C. 70110) provides that the
Secretary of Homeland Security may impose conditions of entry on
vessels requesting entry into the United States arriving from ports
that are not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures, may deny
entry into the United States to any vessel that does not meet such
conditions set forth herein, and shall provide public notice for
passengers of the ineffective antiterrorism measures. The Coast Guard
has been delegated the authority by the Secretary to carry out the
provisions of this section. Previous notices have imposed or removed
conditions of entry on vessels arriving from certain countries and
those conditions of entry and the countries they pertain to remain in
effect unless modified by this notice.
Based on an assessment conducted pursuant to the provisions of 46
U.S.C. 70108 and the International Ship and Port Facility Security

are not maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures. Inclusive to

Consistent with 46 U.S.C. 70109, the United States notified
Madagascar of this determination on May 17, 2007, and identified steps
necessary to improve the antiterrorism measures in Madagascar. To date,
the United States cannot confirm that the identified deficiencies have
been corrected.
Accordingly, effective December 4, 2009 the Coast Guard will impose
the following conditions of entry on vessels that visited ports in
Madagascar, with the exception of vessels arriving from the port of
Toamasina (also known as Tamatave) during their last five port calls.
