On February 12, 2013, President Barack

resilience. PPD–21 updates the national
approach from Homeland Security
Presidential Directive-7 (issued in 2003)
to adjust to the new risk environment,
understand key lessons learned, and
drive toward enhanced capabilities.
This is a continuation of a discussion
held during the April 2013 public
meeting. NMSAC will meet to discuss
and make recommendations on Coast
Guard’s implementation of PPD–21 that
will impact the maritime community.
(3) Chemical Facility Safety and
Security Executive Order. President
Obama signed an Executive Order 3 on
August 1, 2013, with the goal of
improving information sharing among
Federal departments and agencies and
furthering coordination efforts with
State, Local, and Tribal entities involved
in chemical regulation and response. In
addition, the Executive Order directs
Federal agencies to look for
opportunities to modernize policies,
regulations and standards and to seek
out stakeholder input to identify best
practices. NMSAC will meet to discuss
and make recommendations on the
Executive Order impacts on the
maritime community.
