The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, substantially changed the risk profile of the Nations ports, waterways, coastal areas, MTS, and Maritime Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CI/KR). The Coast Guard responded by re-evaluating and strengthening its abilities to protect these assets from possible terrorist attack. On November 25, 2002, the President signed into effect the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002, Public Law 107-295, reference (o). This Law mandated the development of a new maritime security regime including a regulatory scheme for vessel and facility security. Final Regulations, reference (p), were published on October 22, 2003 implementing the MTSA requirements. Since then, numerous reports and studies continue to identify the ports, waterways and coastal areas as being particularly vulnerable. On October 13, 2006, the President signed into effect the SAFE Port Act, Public Law 109-347, reference (r). This Act expanded the maritime security regime required by federal law.
