Background and Purpose In accordance with Section 912 of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 (CGAA), the Coast Guard is seeking input from the public and representatives of industry and labor in order to determine if the current authorization in 33 U.S.C. 383, Resistance of pirates by merchant vessels, and the guidance published by the Coast Guard in Port Security Advisory (PSA) 3–09 provide an adequate framework for standard rules for the use of force for self defense of vessels of the United States. Section 912 of the CGAA states that an owner, operator, time charterer, master, mariner, or individual who uses force or authorizes the use of force to defend a vessel of the United States against an act of piracy shall not be liable for monetary damages for any VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:27 Jan 25, 2011 Jkt 223001 injury or death caused by such force to any person engaging in an act of piracy if such force was in accordance with standard rules for the use of force in self-defense of vessels prescribed by the Secretary. Guidance which may aid the maritime industry with regard to the use of force against pirates is currently provided in PSA 3–09. The Coast Guard seeks public input as to the continued viability of PSA 3–09 as the standard policy. PSA 3–09 provides guidance to United States flagged commercial vessels and embarked personnel, including contract security personnel not entitled to sovereign immunity and operating in High Risk Waters, for employment of force in self-defense or defense of others, as well as defense of the vessel. PSA 3–09 restates existing common law and international law principles in this area. It does not establish new standards or duties with respect to the right of self-defense or defense of others. The guidance is intended to aid companies in the development of their vessel security plan submissions for operating within High Risk Waters and does not mandate specific actions at particular points of time and does not prevent an individual from acting in self-defense or defense of others. We encourage you to provide your comments as we review the existing policy on the use of force for selfdefense of vessels in light of Section 912 of the CGAA. Authority This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a). Dated: January 18, 2011. Kevin S. Cook, Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Director of Prevention Policy.
