1 MTS Recovery for the Resumption of Trade A Perspective Steve Danscuk USCG Pacific Area 10 th Annual Harbor Safety Committee Conference May 2008

2 Marine Infrastructure Recovery Plan Facilitate achieving optimum balance between ports, waterways, cargo security, and recovery of transportation capabilities. Maximize MTS continued operational equilibrium. Minimize disruption to US economy from unnecessarily constrained cargo flow.

3 MTS Recovery Strategic Guidance MTSA 2002 Security and Accountability for Every Port (SAFE Port) Act of 2006 NSPD - 41 / HSPD - 13 National Strategy for Maritime Security Maritime Infrastructure Recovery Plan (Apr 06) Strategy to Enhance International Supply Chain Security (Jul 07) USCG Strategy for Maritime Safety, Security, and Stewardship 3

5 Guidance COMDTINST (issued Feb 2008) NVIC Rev 3 (just issued) - Includes MTS Recovery Plan template for FMSCs USCG/CBP Joint Protocols for Expeditious Recovery of Trade - Formerly named MIRP Protocols 5

6 Progress on MTS Recovery CBP/USCG Joint Protocols PSGP Resiliency Projects COOP plans for Industry USCG Commandant Instruction Integration in field unit plans Area Contingency Plan Area Maritime Security Plan Heavy Weather Plan

7 Current Challenges Lessons Learned from Actual Events MTS Recovery is a relatively new area Congressional & DHS leadership expectations are growing Sectors play catch-up in heat of battle Common Operating Picture for the MTS does not exist 7

8 GAO Testimony/Reports GAO Testimony Oct 4, 2007 [Area Maritime Security Plans] do not fully address recovery issues (e.g., how to reopen a port) after an attack and natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes or earthquakes). While the sets out the general priorities for recovery operations in its guidelines for the development of area plans, we have found that this guidance offers limited instruction and assistance for developing procedures to address recovery situations. The AMSPs that we reviewed often lacked MTS recovery specifics and none had been updated to reflect the recommendations made in the MIRP. GAO Energy Commodity Tanker Study Dec 07 GAO recommends that DHS direct the COMDT to develop national level guidance that ports can us to plan for helping mitigate economic consequences, particularly in the case of port closures. 8

15 MTS Recovery Unit Deliverables Track and status of the MTS in an accurate and timely manner Develop a clear understanding of critical recovery pathways Develop courses of action to support MTS Recovery Provide an avenue of input to the response organization for all MTS stakeholders Identify and develop long-term restoration issues and forward to the IC/UC.
