§243 Maritime Operations Coordination Plan

Summary

Within 180 days after October 5, 2018, and every two years after that, the Secretary must update the Maritime Operations Coordination Plan (originally published July 7, 2011) and send each update to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation; the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure; and the House Committee on Homeland Security. Each update must cover coordinating planning and joint efforts to watch and manage activity at sea by Department offices, keeping strong information and, when appropriate, intelligence sharing with federal, state, local, and private partners, working with other federal and state and local agencies in the maritime area, and showing how the work fits with other national and Department maritime security guidance.
