(G-SCT), will provide guidance.
o. References to the Coast Guard. All initial references to the service on the Internet shall use either
the form "United States Coast Guard" or "U.S. Coast Guard."
p. Security and Access Controls. Web servers and their supporting network infrastructure are
official systems as defined by reference (k), thus all security provisions in that directive apply,
including the requirements for:
(1)
Security risk assessments.
(2)
Information System Security Plan (ISSP).
(3)
AIS System Security Certification and Accreditation.
q. Use of Internet Resources.
(1)
Coast Guard Web sites and pages shall be established only for official, mission-related or
mission supporting purposes except as provided for below.
(2)
In accordance with reference (i), limited incidental personal use is authorized in accordance
with Government-wide policies on personal use of Government property and office
equipment.
(3)
Coast Guard Web servers shall not be used to host or store web sites or pages not authorized
by the CIO.
(4)
All activities sponsoring Web pages shall give due consideration and make every effort to
minimize the use of bandwidth by their Web implementations.
r. User Feedback. Managers of sites or pages that provide the ability to contact the Coast Guard
with the expectation of a response shall ensure that a mechanism is in place to provide an accurate
response to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe - see reference (e). Managers
should consider that a highly publicized event may produce an avalanche of information requests
from the public, and that such requests may have significant Public Affairs implications. See
reference (d). And note that reference (f) contains specific policy on response to Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests submitted by electronic mail.
