SEC. 2015. INTERDICTION PROCEDURES FOR VESSELS OF FOREIGN REGISTRY.

(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that

(1) the interdiction by the United States Coast Guard of vessels suspected for carrying illicit narcotics can be a difficult procedure when the vessel is of foreign registry and is located beyond the customs waters of the United States;

(2) before boarding and inspecting such a vessel, the Coast Guard must obtain consent from either the master of the vessel or the country of registry; and

(3) this process, and obtaining the consent of the country of registry to further law enforcement action, may delay the interdiction of the vessel by 3 or 4 days.

(b) NEGOTIATIONS CONCERNING INTERDICTION PROCEDURES.—

(1) The Congress urges the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, to increase efforts to negotiate with relevant countries procedures which will facilitate interdiction of vessels suspected of carrying illicit narcotics.

(2) If a country refuses to negotiate with respect to interdiction procedures, the President shall take appropriate actions directed against that country, which may include the denial of access to United States ports to vessels registered in that country.

(3) The Secretary of State shall submit reports to the Congress semiannually identifying those countries which have failed to negotiate with respect to interdiction procedures.
