At the request of the Federal Maritime Commission—
(1)the Secretary of Homeland Security shall—
(A)refuse the clearance required by section 60105 of this title to a vessel of a country that is named in a regulation prescribed by the Commission under section 42101 of this title; and
(B)collect any fees imposed by the Commission under section 42106(4) of this title; and
(2)the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating shall—
(A)deny entry, for purposes of oceanborne trade, of a vessel of a country that is named in a regulation prescribed by the Commission under section 42101 of this title, to a port or place in the United States or the navigable waters of the United States; or
(B)detain the vessel at the port or place in the United States from which it is about to depart for another port or place in the United States.
(Pub. L. 109–304, § 7, Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1551.)
In paragraph (1), the words “Secretary of Homeland Security” are substituted for “collector of customs at the port or place of destination in the United States” because the functions of the Customs Service and of the Secretary of the Treasury relating thereto were transferred to the Secretary of Homeland Security by section 403(1) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296, 116 Stat. 2178). The functions of the collector of customs previously were vested in the Secretary of the Treasury by Reorganization Plan No. 26 of 1950, and the office of collector of customs previously was abolished by Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965.
