Confirm Coast Guard jurisdiction, the approved Facility Security Plan, the current MARSEC level, and any approved alternatives; this is not legal advice or a universal facility-design standard. The citation is not a substitute for observed state, authorization, compliance evidence, or dependency health. Examine identity sources, DNS where used, time, networks, power, fire systems, monitoring, and authorized operators before translating the source into an operational decision.\nApplicability questions\n\nFor source statement 1 at 33 CFR 105.500(b) (eCFR anchor p-105.500(b)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?\nFor source statement 2 at 33 CFR 105.500(c)(1) (eCFR anchor p-105.500(c)(1)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?\nWhich owner can attest to the recorded state of credentials, readers, controllers, panels, door hardware, access decisions, monitoring, and life-safety interfaces, including exceptions?\nWhat baseline for identity sources, DNS where used, time, networks, power, fire systems, monitoring, and authorized operators must accompany the source-specific observation?\nWhich success, stop, and escalation criteria are written before testing begins?\n\nDSE recommendation:\nDSE recommends using the cited source as the evidence anchor for this decision. Make the source, asset scope, owner, and expected outcome explicit in the review record. Record the source location, examined part of credentials, readers, controllers, panels, door hardware, access decisions, monitoring, and life-safety interfaces, observed and expected states, owner, and reason for deviation.\nAn implementation decision needs an owner, approved window, prechecks, observable outcome, stop authority, and rollback path. Validate identity sources, DNS where used, time, networks, power, fire systems, monitoring, and authorized operators before and after the test, and store only sanitized operational evidence.\nVerification and evidence\nBuild a reproducible chain from 33 CFR 105.500(b) (eCFR anchor p-105.500(b)); 33 CFR 105.500(c)(1) (eCFR anchor p-105.500(c)(1)) to the observed environment. Useful domain evidence includes approved configuration exports, access-event tests, controller state, door inspections, alarm handling, and exception records; label every item with scope, timestamp, collector, and stable identifier.\nRecord the decision even when no change is made, including uncertainty and the next trigger. Use safe testing conditions for disruptive work, preserve rollback proof, and revisit the conclusion after relevant platform, dependency, vendor, or ownership changes.\nOfficial references\n\n33 CFR 105.500 — Maritime Security: Facilities — U.S. Coast Guard via eCFR",
