Who does OGMSA report to? What does reporting entail?
OGMSA reports to the the U.S. Maritime Security Interagency Policy Committee, of which the Director of OGMSA is a member. The MSIPC operates within the framework of the National Security Council and reports via the the NSC Deputies Committee and Principals Committee to the President of the United States. Reporting includes participation in quarterly meetings as a member of the MSIPC, and an annual report to the MSIPC on OGMSA’s activities and implementation of MDA directives. In addition, the Director of OGMSA has dual reporting reponsibility to the Commandant of the Coast Guard and to the Chief of Naval Operations, and keeps each apprised of MDA progress and OGMSA activities through regular meetings and briefings either directly, or to their respective staffs.
