By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, including section 1 of title II of the Act of 
                June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191) (the 
                ``Act''), and in addition to the finding in Executive 
                Order 10173 of October 18, 1950, and any other 
                declaration or finding in force under section 1 of the 
                Act, I find that the security of the United States is 
                endangered by reason of disturbances in the 
                international relations of the United States that have 
                existed since the terrorist attacks on the United 
                States of September 11, 2001, and that such 
                disturbances continue to endanger such relations, and 
                hereby order that:

                Part 6 of Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
                is amended by:

                    (a) Adding after section 6.01-5 the following new 
                section:

                ``6.01-6 Area Commander. ``Area Commander,'' as used in 
                this part, means the officer of the Coast Guard 
                designated by the Commandant to command a Coast Guard 
                Area.''; and

                    (b) Amending section 6.04-1 to read as follows:

                ``6.04-1 Enforcement. (a) The rules and regulations in 
                this part shall be enforced by the Captain of the Port 
                under the supervision and general direction of the 
                District Commander, Area Commander, and the Commandant. 
                All authority and power vested in the Captain of the 
                Port by the regulations in this part shall be deemed 
                vested in and may be exercised by the District 
                Commander, Area Commander, and the Commandant.

                 (b) The rules and regulations in this part may be 
                enforced by any other officer or petty officer of the 
                Coast Guard designated by the District Commander, Area 
                Commander, or the Commandant.

                 (c) Any authority or power under this part vested in, 
                delegated to, or exercised by a member of the Coast 
                Guard shall be subject to the direction of the 
                Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is 
                operating.''.

                (Presidential Sig.)B
