The consolidated text of the Marine Transportation Security Act has been updated with minor punctuation and spacing corrections in the definitions section. Specifically, a space between the definition of 'authorized screening' and 'Canadian ship' was removed, and the formatting around the 'Tribunal' definition was adjusted to remove a trailing space before the semicolon. No substantive legal definitions, obligations, or requirements were changed. Vessel operators, marine facility managers, and others subject to this Act are unaffected in terms of their actual compliance obligations. No action is required as a result of this change.
