• A: The Coast Guard indicated that it would expect the security actions taken by the vessel while calling at a non-compliant foreign port facility to be reported in the Notice of Arrival (NOA) filing which is submitted to the Coast Guard 96 hours prior to arrival to the first US port. Actions taken may also be reported directly to the cognizant COTP (presumably via the Coast Guard Port State Control Officer) upon arrival. In the interest of notifying the Coast Guard as early as possible prior to arrival to the U.S. so as to enable the agency to make an early port state enforcement determination, reporting security actions taken via the NOA would seem to be the best approach.
