SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background and Purpose
Section 70110 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act 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. The Coast
Guard has been delegated the authority by the Secretary to carry out
the provisions of this section. The Docket contains previous notices
imposing or removing 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.
The Coast Guard has determined that ports in Cuba are not
maintaining effective anti-terrorism measures. Inclusive to this
determination is an assessment that Cuba presents significant risk of
introducing instruments of terror into international maritime commerce.
Accordingly, effective April 18, 2008 the Coast Guard will impose the
following conditions of entry on vessels that visited ports in Cuba
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 Cuba;
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 Cuba.
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, or provided by outside security forces approved by the
ship's master and Company Security Officer;
Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in port
in Cuba;
Log all security actions in the ship's log;
Report actions taken to the cognizant U.S. Coast Guard
Captain of the Port prior to arrival into U.S. waters; and
Ensure that each access point to the ship is guarded by
armed, private 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.
With this notice, the current list of countries not maintaining
effective anti-terrorism measures is as follows: Cameroon, Cuba,
Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Indonesia, Iran, Liberia, Mauritania
and Syria.
Dated: March 28, 2008.

USCG, Assistant Commandant For Operations.
