H.R. 7316 updates the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 by fixing reference errors, correcting wording, and making small adjustments to related statutes. The changes mainly correct the name of the act in several places, modify language in an advisory committee’s description of offshore industry participants, and adjust a retirement‑authority provision. These edits affect the Coast Guard’s legal framework and the agencies or companies that may serve on its advisory committee.

Key Provisions

  • Corrects references that mistakenly cite the 2017 Coast Guard Authorization Act, replacing them with the correct 2018 Frank LoBiondo Act.
  • Amends the advisory committee’s description (section 15106(c)(3) of title 46) to simplify and update language for various offshore industry participants, such as changing “mineral and oil operations” to “operations” and clarifying diving, safety, training, and subsea services.
  • Updates the temporary early retirement authority in the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012 by changing “fiscal years” to “fiscal year” and shifting the applicable year from 2018 to calendar year 2019.
