AI-Generated Summary

Updated April 16, 2026 at 12:42 AM UTC

This bill makes a series of technical fixes to the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018. It updates references that mistakenly point to the 2017 Act, corrects wording and timing requirements, removes two subsections that are no longer needed, and revises the list of industries and entities that can serve on a Coast Guard advisory committee.

Key Provisions

  • Changes all mentions of the "Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017" to refer to the 2018 Act or to "this Act" where appropriate.
  • Adds a reference to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 in one provision.
  • Corrects a wording error about the year, changing "years 2018 and" to just "year".
  • Updates the deadline language for a Secretary’s notice, replacing the 30‑day/60‑day schedule with a reference to the appropriate subsection.
  • Strikes subsections (a) and (d) of section 408, making them have no legal effect.
  • Rewrites the description of who can serve on the Coast Guard advisory committee, simplifying and broadening categories (e.g., replacing specific phrases like "mineral and oil operations" with "operations" and updating language for diving, safety, training, subsea engineering, environmental, and Alaska offshore entities).
