The Maritime Infrastructure Recovery Plan for the National Strategy for Maritime Security

Abstract

In addition to being an integral part of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 13 (HSPD-13) plans, the strategic guidance in the Maritime Infrastructure Recovery Plan (MIRP) is reflected in the provisions of the National Maritime Security Plan (NMSP). The NMSP is a Maritime Transportation Security Act plan that addresses the restoration of domestic cargo flow following a security incident that occurs under, in, on, or adjacent to waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. The MIRP, the Maritime Commerce Security Plan, and the Maritime Transportation System Security Plan were developed in close coordination under the National Strategy for Maritime Security (NSMS). The Maritime Commerce Security Plan contains recommendations to promote international maritime supply chain security and the Maritime Transportation System Security Plan addresses security of the Maritime Transportation System (MTS) as a system, including vessels, facilities, and ports. Both support the recovery of maritime capabilities. The MIRP contains procedures for recovery management and provides mechanisms for national, regional, and local decisionmakers to set priorities for redirecting commerce, a primary means of restoring domestic cargo flow. This plan is employed when the Secretary of Homeland Security declares an actual or threatened Transportation Security Incident (TSI) that occurs under, in, on, or adjacent to waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, to be an Incident of National Significance (INS), in accordance with the criteria set out in the National Response Plan (NRP) and HSPD-5. Any such TSI declared to be an INS accordingly is referred to as a "national TSI." Additionally, the MIRP reflects the organizational constructs detailed in the NRP, as well as the use of Incident Command System and unified command procedures. As such, the plan can be used for other similarly disruptive incidents requiring maritime infrastructure recovery management.
