Background and Purpose
In accordance with Section 912 of the
Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010
(CGAA), the Coast Guard is seeking
input from the public and
representatives of industry and labor in
order to determine if the current
authorization in 33 U.S.C. 383,
Resistance of pirates by merchant
vessels, and the guidance published by
the Coast Guard in Port Security
Advisory (PSA) 3–09 provide an
adequate framework for standard rules
for the use of force for self defense of
vessels of the United States.
Section 912 of the CGAA states that
an owner, operator, time charterer,
master, mariner, or individual who uses
force or authorizes the use of force to
defend a vessel of the United States
against an act of piracy shall not be
liable for monetary damages for any

Jkt 223001

injury or death caused by such force to
any person engaging in an act of piracy
if such force was in accordance with
standard rules for the use of force in
self-defense of vessels prescribed by the
Secretary.
Guidance which may aid the maritime
industry with regard to the use of force
against pirates is currently provided in
PSA 3–09. The Coast Guard seeks public
input as to the continued viability of
PSA 3–09 as the standard policy. PSA
3–09 provides guidance to United States
flagged commercial vessels and
embarked personnel, including contract
security personnel not entitled to
sovereign immunity and operating in
High Risk Waters, for employment of
force in self-defense or defense of
others, as well as defense of the vessel.
PSA 3–09 restates existing common law
and international law principles in this
area. It does not establish new standards
or duties with respect to the right of
self-defense or defense of others. The
guidance is intended to aid companies
in the development of their vessel
security plan submissions for operating
within High Risk Waters and does not
mandate specific actions at particular
points of time and does not prevent an
individual from acting in self-defense or
defense of others.
We encourage you to provide your
comments as we review the existing
policy on the use of force for selfdefense of vessels in light of Section 912
of the CGAA.
Authority
This notice is issued under authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

1990 (Pub. L. 101– 591) are Federal laws
that were enacted on October 18, 1982,
and November 16, 1990, respectively, as
part of a Department of the Interior
(DOI) initiative to preserve the
ecological integrity of areas DOI
designates as coastal barriers and
otherwise protected areas. The laws
provide this protection by prohibiting
all Federal expenditures or financial
assistance including flood insurance for
residential or commercial development
in areas identified with the system.
When an application for flood insurance
is submitted for buildings located in
Coastal Barrier Resources System
(CBRS) communities, documentation
must be submitted as evidence of
eligibility. Part 71 of 44 CFR
implements section 11 of the Coastal
Barrier Resources Act and section 9 of
the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of
1990, as those Acts amend the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C.
4001, et seq.). The documentation
required in 44 CFR 71.4 is provided to

FEMA for a determination that a
building which is located on a
designated coastal barrier and for which
an application for flood insurance is
being made, is neither new construction
nor a substantial improvement, and
therefore, is eligible for National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) coverage. If
the information is not collected, NFIP
policies might be provided for
buildings, which are legally ineligible
for it, thus exposing the Federal
Government to an insurance liability
Congress chose to limit.
Collection of Information
Title: Implementation of Coastal
Barrier Resources Act.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0010.
Form Titles and Numbers: No forms.
Abstract: When an application for
flood insurance is submitted for

buildings located in CBRS communities,
one of the following types of
documentation must be submitted as
evidence of eligibility: (a) Certification
from a community official stating the
building is not located in a designated
CBRS area; (b) A legally valid building
permit or certification from a
community official stating that the start
date of a building’s construction
preceded the date that the community
was identified in the CBRS; or (c)
Certification from the governmental
body overseeing the area indicating that
the building is used in a manner
consistent with the purpose for which
the area is protected.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other forprofits; Not-for-profit institutions;
Farms; Federal Government; and State,
local or Tribal governments.
