Abstract: In the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA)1, Congress directed the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating to require all crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports to carry and present on demand any identification the Secretary decides is necessary. The Act also directed the Secretary to develop forms and processes for the identification and verification of crewmembers. Congress directed the Secretary to consult with the Attorney General and Secretary of State when developing these crewmember identification requirements. The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) delegated this rulemaking authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard2 and directed the Commandant to develop these requirements in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This information collection and the associated regulations fulfills Congress’ mandate to require that crewmembers on vessels calling at U.S. ports must carry and present on demand an identification that allows the identity of crewmembers to be authoritatively validated. The regulations are in 33 CFR Part 160 Subpart D. The statutory authority is 46 U.S. Code 70111.
