Defense Community Infrastructure Program Revisions Act

AI-Generated Summary

Updated May 7, 2026 at 9:22 AM UTC

The Defense Community Infrastructure Program Revisions Act expands the Defense Community Infrastructure Program to cover U.S. Coast Guard installations. It requires the Department of Defense to coordinate with the Coast Guard’s Commandant when funding projects that support Coast Guard bases, and it treats Coast Guard facilities as “military installations” for program purposes. The change affects how infrastructure grants are awarded to Coast Guard sites and ties those projects to missions authorized under the Homeland Security Act.

Key Provisions

Adds a requirement that the Secretary of Defense obtain the Commandant of the Coast Guard’s concurrence before approving grants, agreements, or other funding for Coast Guard installation infrastructure projects.
Defines “military installation” in the program to include Coast Guard installations under the Department of Homeland Security.
Allows grants under the program to support any Coast Guard mission authorized by the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
