Maritime and Port Security: A Comparison of Major
Provisions of S. 1214 and H.R. 3983
Summary
Congress is considering legislation to enhance security at U.S. seaports. The
September 11 terrorist attack has raised concerns that a sea container could be used
to transport a weapon of mass destruction. An interagency commission on crime and
security at U.S. ports found that with a few exceptions, the level of security at U.S.
ports was poor to fair. This report compares major provisions in S. 1214, which
passed the Senate with an amendment, and H.R. 3983, which passed the House as
amended. Five areas of the legislation are examined: federal funding, plans and
programs for coordinating security, efforts to enhance foreign seaport security, cargo
security provisions, and restrictions on access to certain areas within a port.
As of November 12, 2002 conferees were working to resolve differences
between the House and Senate versions of the legislation.
Although both bills cover many of the same issues, there are differences in
emphasis. These differences may be largely explained by the timing of the bills. S.
1214 was introduced before September 11, while H.R. 3983 was introduced six
months after that date. H.R. 3983 is most concerned with deterring and minimizing
damage from a possible terrorist act. S. 1214 is concerned with deterring terrorism,
but also with reducing drug smuggling, cargo theft, trade fraud, and illegal alien
smuggling. S. 1214 was introduced before the establishment of the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) in November, 2001 and thus contains no reference
to it. H.R. 3983 is post-TSA and calls upon the agency, among other things, to
develop an antiterrorism cargo identification and screening system. A side-by-side
comparison of selected provisions of S. 1214 and H.R. 3983 is provided in Table 1.

Maritime and Port Security: A Comparison
of Major Provisions of S. 1214 and H.R.
3983
Introduction
The 107^th Congress is considering legislation to enhance security at U.S.
seaports. The issue is how to tighten control over maritime commerce in a practical
manner that does not impede its flow. This report provides a comparison between
major provisions in S.1214 - “The Port and Maritime Security Act,” and H.R. 3983 -
“The Maritime Transportation Antiterrorism Act.” Senator Hollings introduced S.

1214 on July 20, 2001 and it passed the Senate with an amendment on December 20,

2001. Representative Don Young introduced H.R. 3983 on March 18, 2002 and it
passed the House as amended on June 4, 2002. Both houses have named members
for a conference committee on the bill.
As of November 12, 2002 conferees were working to resolve differences
between the House and Senate versions of the legislation.
This comparison will focus on five areas of the legislation: federal funding
provisions, plans and programs for coordinating seaport security, international
maritime security provisions, cargo security provisions, and limitations on access to
sensitive areas within a port. A side-by-side comparison of selected provisions of S.

1214 and H.R. 3983 is provided in Table 1.

Although both bills cover many of the same issues, there are differences in
emphasis. These differences may be largely explained by the timing of the bills. S.
1214 was introduced before September 11, while H.R. 3983 was introduced six
months after that date. As the title of H.R. 3983 implies, it is most concerned with
deterring and minimizing damage from a possible terrorist act. S. 1214 is concerned
with deterring terrorism, but also with reducing drug smuggling, cargo theft, trade
fraud, and illegal alien smuggling. S. 1214 was introduced to address security issues
raised by the Interagency Commission on Crime and Security in U.S. ports (the
Seaport Commission). The Seaport Commission was comprised of representatives
from 17 federal agencies and co-chaired by the Maritime Administration (MARAD),
Customs Service, and the Justice Department. It reported its findings in the fall of
2000 and found security at U.S. seaports to be generally poor to fair with some
ex cept i ons.¹

¹ The report is available at http://uscg.mil/overview/icssrpt.pdf.

S. 1214 was introduced before the establishment of the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) in November, 2001 and thus contains no reference to it. H.R.
3983 is post-TSA and calls upon the agency to collect passenger and crew manifest
data and to develop and maintain an antiterrorism identification, tracking, and
screening system for sea containers.
Levels of Funding
The funding provisions in S. 1214 are directed more toward specific areas than
those in H.R. 3983. The Seaport Commission estimated (before September 11) that
enhancing security at U.S. ports would cost between $10 to $50 million per port.
S. 1214 would add a new Title XIV to the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 to
authorize and provide loan guarantees and grants for port security infrastructure
improvements. The loan guarantee regulations would be similar to those that exist
under the existing Title XI loan guarantee program for shipbuilding and shipyards.
Security infrastructure improvements could include gates, fences, and lighting,
surveillance, and video systems. The bill makes available to the Department of
Transportation (DOT), subject to appropriation, $9 million annually for FY2003-
2006 for loan guarantee costs and authorizes an additional $26 million annually for
the same years. According to a Senate Commerce Committee summary of the
legislation, using regular federal credit risk premium calculations, this level of
funding could provide up to $700 million annually in loans. For FY2003-2006, the
bill provides $10 million in annual grants for seaport security enhancements and
authorizes an additional $70 million per year in grants.
The bill provides funding to assist the Customs Service. For the purchase of
non-intrusive screening and detection equipment for ocean containers, the bill
provides from $15 million to $19 million be made available from tonnage tax
receipts for each fiscal year 2003-2006. The bill authorizes an additional $20 million
each year for this same purpose. For FY2002 only, the bill authorizes $145 million
to the Customs Service for 1,200 new customs inspectors, 300 new customs agents,
and for purchase of support equipment. The bill provides $1 million each year from
FY2003- 2006 to establish shared dockside inspection facilities at seaports. These
facilities would be shared by the Customs Service, the Department of Agriculture,
and the Coast Guard for inspecting cargo containers.
Additional funding is provided for establishing local port security committees,
training maritime security professionals, conducting port vulnerability assessments,
developing technology for detecting criminal activity, and other items.
S. 1214 would extend, through fiscal year 2006, the increase in vessel tonnage
duties that was enacted in 1990 by P.L. 101-508. These tonnage duties would be
used to partly offset the spending provisions of the bill.
H.R. 3983 does not provide loan guarantees for infrastructure improvements.
It does provide $83 million in grants to seaports for each of fiscal years 2003 through

2005. Like the grants provided in S. 1214, the federal grant would not exceed 75%

of the total cost of a project unless the DOT determines that this requirement should
be waved for a particular project. For projects costing less than $25,000, there are
no matching requirements in either bill. Both bills require grant applicants to provide
the same information to the DOT for evaluating grant proposals. H.R. 3983 includes
authorization of appropriations for the Coast Guard. See CRS Report RS20924,
Homeland Security: Coast Guard Legislation in the 107^th Congress, for further
information.
Plans and Programs for
Coordinating Seaport Security
Jurisdiction over U.S. ports is shared by federal, state, and local governments.
The federal agencies with the greatest presence at U.S. ports are the Coast Guard,
Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the Department of
Agriculture. These agencies are included in the President’s proposal for a new
Department of Homeland Security. A major point of discussion in enhancing seaport
security is coordinating the activities of all levels of government, as well as the
private sector, to prevent conflict and overlap of responsibilities while improving
information sharing among agencies. Both bills call for security plans to be
developed at the national, local, and port facility level. Both bills also require
vulnerability assessments be conducted at the port level.
S. 1214 requires the Secretary of Transportation to establish a “National
Maritime Security Advisory Committee.” This committee would have up to 21
members appointed by the Secretary and made up of individuals from other
departments and agencies in the federal, state, or local government, including law
enforcement. The committee would be charged with coordinating seaport security
enhancement among local port authorities, keeping them informed of developments
in security issues, and providing guidance for awarding loans and grants for security
improvements. The committee would disband on September 30, 2005.
At the local level, S. 1214 calls for the establishment of “Local Port Security
Committees” which would comprise federal, state, and local government officials,
law enforcement personnel from all levels of government, port authority personnel,
representatives from port labor organizations, and representatives from the private
sector. The Coast Guard’s existing “Captain-of-the-Port” would be charged with
establishing these committees at his/her port of jurisdiction.
The Secretary of Transportation would be required to develop standards and
procedures for conducting port vulnerability assessments at each port that the
Secretary deems appropriate. The Secretary could accept security evaluations already
completed during the previous five years. The Local Port Security Committee would
review and comment on the port vulnerability assessment.
The Local Port Security Committee would also be consulted in the development
of Maritime Facility Security Plans. These plans would be submitted by each port
authority or waterfront facility operator to the Secretary for approval. The plan
would indicate how the overall physical security of the port would be maintained,

how access would be controlled to the port and its facilities, the procedures for
processing cargo, passengers, and crew, and create evacuation plans in case of an
emergency.
S. 1214 also calls for the creation of a National Maritime Transportation
Security Plan, Area Maritime Security Plans, and Vessel Security Plans. The plans
would prescribe procedures for preventing and responding to maritime crimes and
terrorism. These plans are very similar to the plans in H.R. 3983 which are described
below.
H.R. 3983 calls for a “National Maritime Transportation Antiterrorism Plan”
that is intended to deter and minimize damage from a terrorist act. The plan would
assign duties and responsibilities among federal, state, and local government agencies
and establish a system of surveillance to safeguard against and provide the earliest
possible notice of a terrorist act.
At the local level, H.R. 3983 calls for “Area Maritime Transportation
Antiterrorism Plans” that are intended to deter terrorist acts within the area covered
by the plan. The plan would describe the area covered, including populated areas,
or areas with special economic, environmental, or national security importance.
These plans would be developed by a Coast Guard official designated as the “Federal
Maritime Antiterrorism Coordinator” and reviewed and approved by the DOT. H.R.
3983 calls for vulnerability assessments to be conducted at each port the DOT
believes have a high risk of a “catastrophic emergency.”
H.R. 3983 also calls for “Vessel and Facility Antiterrorism Plans.” These plans
would be prepared by ocean carriers and port facility operators. The plans would
describe the training, drills, and antiterrorism actions of vessel or facility personnel
to deter terrorism. The plans would identify the individual responsible for
implementing antiterrorism actions and the individual who would serve as the point
of contact with federal officials.
Provisions to Increase Foreign Seaport Security
Some maritime security experts have advocated a greater focus on country of
origin security rather than limiting security concerns just to U.S. ports of unloading.
They view maritime commerce as a global transportation system which can best be
secured by preventing a suspicious container from entering the system at the point
of origin. They assert that it is too late to discover a dirty nuclear bomb in a sea
container when it reaches a U.S. port of unloading. Pushing the borders back is a
challenge because most countries, including the United States, have fewer systems
in place to examine export cargo than import cargo. Both bills include provisions
that would identify foreign ports with U.S. trade ties that have inadequate security
and provisions to enhance the scrutiny of ships and cargo arriving from those ports.
S. 1214 calls upon the Secretary of Transportation, after consultation with the
Secretary of the Treasury, to prohibit or prescribe conditions for vessels arriving from
a foreign port it has identified as not secure. In addition, the President can deny entry

to vessels arriving from certain foreign ports and suspend trade with certain foreign
ports if the President determines that the ports threaten the safety and security of
passengers and cargo traveling to or from those ports. The bill also instructs the
Secretary of Transportation to report annually to Congress all foreign flag vessels that
have arrived in the United States whose vessel registration may be suspect.
H.R. 3983, like the Senate bill, also calls upon the DOT to identify foreign ports
that pose a security risk to the United States. Specifically, it charges the DOT to
identify foreign ports that pose a high risk of introducing terrorism to maritime
commerce based on the foreign port’s cargo screening capability, the foreign port’s
restrictions on access to certain areas, and the port’s certification of compliance with
security standards. If the DOT finds a foreign port’s security measures are
inadequate, it will inform the foreign government and recommend steps to improve
security. If the foreign port fails to take corrective action within 90 days, the DOT
can prescribe conditions for ships and cargo entering the United States from those
ports. The bill does not specify what these conditions could include. The DOT can
deny entry if its conditions are not met.
Cargo Security Provisions
Provisions to improve the timeliness and accuracy of cargo information
submitted by shippers and to improve the physical security of containers themselves
are included in both bills. Sea containers have been a primary focus of discussions
on port security. About seven million containers arrive at U.S. ports per year. The
Customs Service reviews manifest information for anomalies and targets specific
containers for physical inspection. It physically inspects about 2% of imported
containers. The DOT is also concerned with the security of sea containers. The DOT
created a task force to examine marine container security issues in October 2001. In
February 2002, the task force submitted a classified report that, according to a DOT
press release, made recommendations for improving the quality and timeliness of
cargo information that is transmitted to federal agencies and to improve the physical
security of the container itself. The DOT inspector general’s office announced in
February 2002 that it was conducting an audit of the Coast Guard’s hazardous
materials container inspection program.²
S. 1214 would amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to require a carrier to provide cargo
manifest information by electronic transmission in advance of port entry or clearance
and in such manner, time, and form as the Secretary of the Treasury prescribes. The
bill also requires the Customs Service to be notified of any improperly documented
cargo remaining in a port for more than 48 hours. Customs is authorized to seize and
search such cargo. The bill would require a pre-arrival electronic transmission of the
consignor, consignee, country of origin, and classification code of goods for cargo
moving under the “in-bond” system. The Secretaries of Transportation and Treasury
would be required to establish a task force to develop a system for tracking
containers, possibly through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology,
and develop standards for container seals and locks to prevent cargo tampering.

² More information available at [http://www.oig.dot.gov/item_details.php?item=683].

Vessels entering U.S. waters would be required to submit pre-arrival messages to the
Coast Guard in sufficient time for the Coast Guard to review the information for
security and safety reasons.
H.R. 3983 contains provisions specifically directed towards sea containers. The
bill requires the Transportation Security Administration to develop an antiterrorism
cargo identification and screening system for containerized cargo. TSA must also
develop standards to improve the physical security of the containers themselves,
including standards for seals and locks. The bill requires ocean carriers to provide
TSA with crew and passenger manifests in advance of a vessel’s arrival in the United
States. Cargo information must be submitted to the Customs Service in advance of
port entry. The Customs Service would consult with other federal agencies in issuing
regulations on submitting cargo information and would share cargo information with
appropriate federal departments.
Limiting Access to Areas within a Port
S. 1214 and H.R. 3983 include provisions limiting access to areas within a port.
H.R. 3983 specifically mentions development of security cards. The TSA is currently
developing a standardized credentialing system for transportation workers in all
modes. The cards would use smart card or biometric technologies to securely link
the individual to the card.³
S. 1214 requires that the Maritime Facility Security Plan include designation of
controlled access areas within a port and limited access to security-sensitive
information, such as passenger and cargo manifests. The Secretary of Transportation
may prescribe regulations that require physical searches of persons entering certain
port areas, security escorts, and background checks for persons granted unrestricted
access. Persons granted unrestricted access must not have a felony conviction within
the previous seven years or release from prison within the last five years. The
Secretary can approve alternative security arrangements for an individual who
otherwise would be disqualified from a security-sensitive position. An appeals
process will be available for individuals found to be ineligible for employment.
H.R. 3983 calls for the DOT to issue “Transportation Security Cards” which
will be used in identifying personnel with access to sensitive areas within the port.
The DOT can deny cards to individuals it believes pose a terrorism security risk.
Denial can be based on the fact that the individual has been convicted of a felony as
defined by the Secretary or if the individual would be denied admission to the United
States or removed from the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The Secretary can give consideration to any circumstances surrounding a
disqualifying act or restitution made by the individual and may consider other factors
from which it may be concluded that the individual does not pose a terrorism security
risk. An appeals process will be available for individuals found to be ineligible for
a security card.

Role of the Coast Guard
S. 1214 and H.R. 3983 contain provisions involving the Coast Guard that are
nearly identical. In both bills, the Coast Guard is authorized to board vessels with
“sea marshals” to deter or respond to acts of terrorism. Both bills also would extend
the seaward jurisdiction of the Coast Guard from three miles from shore to 12 miles.

Report RS21125, Homeland Security: Coast Guard Operations- Background and
Issues for Congress.
