This bill fixes a number of wording and citation errors in the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 and makes small changes to the advisory committee that advises the Coast Guard on offshore industry matters. The corrections mainly replace outdated references to the 2017 act with the correct 2018 act, adjust timing language, and delete two subsections that are no longer needed. It also updates the committee’s member categories to better reflect current offshore industry activities and adds a seat for environmental protection representatives.

Key Provisions

  • Updates references in several sections of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 to correctly cite that act instead of the 2017 Coast Guard Authorization Act.
  • Amends language in the act to remove or change specific wording (e.g., changing “years 2018 and” to “year,” adjusting notice‑timing requirements, and deleting two subsections of section 408).
  • Specifies that the technical corrections take effect as if they were part of the original 2018 act.
  • Rewrites parts of the advisory committee’s composition rules in title 46, simplifying and broadening the description of offshore industry activities, adding a new member to represent environmental protection and compliance services, and re‑designating existing subparagraphs.
