Jkt 253001
The Coast Guard announces
the availability of Revision 8 to
Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive
104–6, which provides guidelines for
U.S. vessels operating in high-risk
waters (HRW) where acts of terrorism,
piracy, and armed robbery against ships
are prevalent. The directive contains
security-sensitive information and,
therefore, cannot be made available to
the general public. U.S. vessel owners
and operators who have needed to take
action under previous versions of
MARSEC Directive 104–6 should
immediately contact their local Coast
Guard Captain of the Port or District
Commander for a copy of Revision 8.
This revision contains important
updates to HRW locations and
organizational responsibilities regarding
addressing security risks in those
waters.
SUMMARY:
MARSEC Directive 104–6
(Revision 8) has been available since
August 11, 2021. MARSEC Directive
104–6 (Revision 7) is no longer valid
after that date.
DATES:
For
information about this document call or
email LCDR Michael Metz; U.S. Coast
Guard, Office of Commercial Vessel
Compliance; telephone 202–372–1236,
email cvc.uscg@uscg.mil.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Maritime
Security (MARSEC) Directive 104–6
Revision 8 replaces Revision 7,
previously signed on March 4, 2014.
The new directive provides direction to
U.S. flagged vessels operating in High
Risk Waters (HRW) where acts of
terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery
against ships are prevalent. This
revision reflects a change in
organizational responsibilities and
updates the list of regions identified as
HRW.
U.S. vessel owners and operators who
have needed to take action under
previous versions of MARSEC Directive
104–6 should immediately contact their
local Coast Guard Captain of the Port or
District Commander for a copy of
Revision 8, which contains important
updates to the locations of HRW and to
the guidelines for addressing security
risks in those waters. The Coast Guard
advises owners and operators that,
under Revision 8, they may need to take
specific actions in accordance with
MARSEC Directive 104–6 before their
vessel enters HRW.
This notice is issued under authority
of 33 CFR 101.405(a)(2) and 5 U.S.C.
552(a).

Information Collection Requirement
Title: Baseline Assessment for
Security Enhancement (BASE) Program.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0062.
Form(s): BASE electronic checklist.
Affected Public: Highway
transportation asset owners and
operators; and, public transportation
agencies, including mass transit bus, rail
transit, and less common types of

Abstract: TSA’s BASE program works
with existing (and new) transportation
asset and system owner/operators by
asking established questions to identify
their current security posture, identify
security gaps, and encourage
implementation of countermeasures
applicable to the specific surface mode
of transportation. Data and results
collected through the BASE program
will inform TSA’s policy and program
initiatives and allow TSA to provide
focused resources and tools to enhance
the overall security posture within these
sectors of the surface transportation
community.
