| Summary |
The U.S. Coast Guard is a multi-mission maritime military service within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for securing the U.S. maritime transportation system. This report addresses, among other things, the extent the Coast Guard: (1) assessed foreign port security from fiscal years 2014 through 2022, and (2) shared its foreign port assessments and coordinated capacity building efforts with relevant federal stakeholders. GAO is making six recommendations, including that the Coast Guard document its procedures for using alternative approaches to make foreign port security assessment determinations, share its annual assessment reports with CBP and other federal agencies it identifies as having a vested interest, and establish a process with the State Department for coordinating foreign port security capacity building. |
