SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
2, 2017, the President signed into law
the Countering America’s Adversaries
Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).1 The
law amends the North Korea Sanctions
and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 2
and the Ports and Waterways Safety Act
(PWSA).3 Section 315 of CAATSA adds
§ 16 to the Ports and Waterways Safety
Act. This new section requires the
Secretary of the Department in which
the Coast Guard is operating, with the
concurrence of the Secretary of State, to
maintain timely information on the
registrations of all foreign vessels over
300 gross tons that are known to be any
of the following:
(1) Owned and operated by or on
behalf of the Government of North
Korea or a North Korean person.
(2) Owned or operated by or on behalf
of any country identified by the
President as a country that has not
complied with the applicable United
Nations Security Council resolutions (as
such term is defined in 22 U.S.C. 9202).
(3) Owned or operated by or on behalf
of any country in which a sea port is
located, the operator of which the
President has identified in the most
recent report submitted under 22 U.S.C.
9225(a)(1)(A). As revised by section 314
of CAATSA, § 9225(a)(1) states that the
President shall submit a report to
Congress of countries and ports that
knowingly do any of the following: (a)
Significantly fail to implement or
enforce regulations to inspect ships,
aircraft, cargo, or conveyances in transit
to or from North Korea, as required by
applicable United Nations Security
Council resolutions; (b) facilitate the
transfer, transshipment, or conveyance
of significant types or quantities of
cargo, vessels, or aircraft owned or
controlled by persons designated under
applicable United Nations Security
Council resolutions; or (c) facilitate any
of the activities described in section
104(a) of the North Korea Sanctions and
Policy Enhancement Act of 2016.
Not later than 180 days after the date
of the enactment of CAATSA, and
periodically thereafter, the Coast Guard
is required to publish in the Federal
1 Public Law 115–44, August 2, 2017, 131 Stat
886.

Register a list of the vessels described
above. The list will be publicly available
on the NVMC website at
www.nvmc.uscg.gov/CAATSA.aspx,
beginning on February 2, 2018, and the
Coast Guard will periodically publish a
notice of availability in the Federal
Register announcing updates.
Upon receiving an advance notice of
arrival under 33 U.S.C. 1223(a)(5) from
a vessel on the list, the Coast Guard will
notify the vessel master that the vessel
may not enter or operate in the
navigable waters of the United States, or
transfer cargo in any port or place under
the jurisdiction of the United States,
unless otherwise allowed by law. The
Ports and Waterways Safety Act, as
amended by CAATSA, provides for
limited entry in certain circumstances,
such as a specific determination from
the U.S. Secretary of State, and does not
restrict the right of innocent passage or
the right of transit passage as recognized
under international law.
This notice is issued under authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a), § 315 of Public Law
