Yesterday the House Homeland Security Committee announced
that it would be holding
a full committee markup of HR
4251, the Securing Maritime Activities through Risk-based Targeting for (SMART)
Port Security Act on Wednesday.
Once again, Rep. Miller (R,MI), the Chair of the Border and
Maritime Security Subcommittee, will be offering substitute
language for this bill that she introduced. I haven’t had a chance to
review this yet in detail, but I do note some relatively gross changes in the
table of contents of the bill:
• Removes §107 Port Security grant
program authorization;
• Adds §115 Recognition of port
security assessments conducted by other entities;
• Removes §206 Issuance of final
rule relating to Transportation Workers Identification Credential reader
requirements; and
• Adds §206 Expiration of certain
transportation workers identification credentials;
During a brief glance there are a number of wording changes
within various sections that will bear a closer look.
