Strategic Context

Component Overview

The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together strategy, budget resource requests, programs, or PPAs, and performance 

measures that gauge the delivery of results to our stakeholders. The U.S. Coast Guard has one discretionary appropriation, Operations and 

Support, to which it’s publically reported measures align. These measures are presented in two measure sets, strategic and management

measures, and are listed under descriptions for the six U.S. Coast Guard mission programs. Strategic measures communicate results that gauge 

achievement in mission programs, and are considered Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) 

measures. Additional management measures are displayed to provide a more thorough context of expected performance for the Component 

related to its budgetary plans. 

Maritime Law Enforcement: The Maritime Law Enforcement program preserves America’s jurisdictional rights within our maritime borders and 

enforces U.S. Federal law on, under, and over the seas. The Coast Guard is the lead Federal maritime law enforcement agency for enforcing 

national and international law on the high seas, outer continental shelf, and inward from the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to inland 

navigable waters, including the Great Lakes. The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Law Enforcement 

program: Drug Interdiction; Migrant Interdiction; Living Marine Resources; and Other Law Enforcement.

Strategic Measures 

Measure: Fishing regulation compliance rate

Description: The U.S. Coast Guard uses the percentage of fishing vessels observed at sea complying with domestic regulations as a measure of 

the Coast Guard's activities and their impact on the health and well-being of U.S. fisheries and marine protected species. This specific measure 

reflects the percent of boardings at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard during which no significant violations of domestic fisheries regulations are 

detected.

Fiscal Year: FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019

Measure: Interdiction rate of foreign fishing vessels violating U.S. waters

Description: This measure reports the percent of detected incursions into the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by foreign fishing vessels that 

are interdicted by the Coast Guard. Preventing illegal foreign fishing vessels from encroaching on the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is a priority 

for the Coast Guard. Foreign fishing fleets steal a valuable resource, resulting in a total economic loss to the American public. Protecting the 

integrity of the nation’s maritime borders and ensuring the health of U.S. fisheries is a vital part of the Coast Guard mission.

Result: 10.3 7.8 8.4 9.2 TBD TBD

Maritime Response: The Maritime Response program mitigates the consequences of marine casualties and disastrous events. The Coast Guard 

minimizes loss of life, injury, and property loss by searching for and rescuing persons in distress in the maritime environment. Coast Guard 

preparedness efforts ensure incident response and recovery resources are fully ready and capable to minimize impact of disasters to people, the 

environment, and the economy. The following statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Response program: Search and 

Rescue and Marine Environmental Protection.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Percent of people in imminent danger saved in the maritime environment

Description: This is a measure of the percent of people who were in imminent danger on the oceans and other waterways and whose lives were

saved by U.S Coast Guard. The number of lives lost before and after the U.S Coast Guard is notified and the number of persons missing at the end 

of search operations are factored into this percentage. Several factors hinder successful response including untimely distress notification to the U.S 

Coast Guard, incorrect distress site location reporting, severe weather conditions at the distress site, and distance to the scene.

Result: 1,846 1,788 1,617 1,475 TBD TBD

Measure: Percent of time rescue assets are on-scene within 2 hours

Description: Time on scene is calculated from the earliest time a Search and Rescue Unit (SRU) is requested to proceed until the earliest time of 

arrival on scene of an SRU. This includes readiness time, the 30 minutes of preparation time, that provides for underway preps (i.e. engine warmups, underway checklist, risk management evaluation, and mission planning) and the transit time, the 90 minutes from underway to on scene based 

on moderate environmental conditions which allow for operation of the SRUs at their top cruise speeds. To calculate the response times used in the 

measure, the Coast Guard uses the following equation: Time On Scene = First Sortie On Scene Time minus First Resource Requested Time. The 

Coast Guard established the 2-hour On Scene Standard in the 1970's and conducted a full review of the standard in 1992. The standard is based on 

survival expectations in the average weighted water temperatures. The weighting factors into the varying number of incidents occurring 

regionally.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Number of breaches at high risk maritime facilities

Description: This measure reports the number of breaches of security incidents at facilities subject to the Maritime Transportation Security Act 

(MTSA) where no Transportation Security Incident has occurred, but established security measures have been circumvented, eluded or violated. 

MTSA facilities are a high risk subset of the national waterfront facility population given the nature of their activities and/or the products they 

handle; which pose a greater risk for significant loss of life, environmental damage, or economic disruption if attacked. MTSA regulated facilities 

constitute a more than 3400 high-risk subset of all waterfront facilities. They are facilities that handle certain dangerous cargoes, liquid natural gas 

or transfer oil or hazardous materials in bulk; or receive foreign cargo vessels greater than 100 gross tons, U.S. cargo vessels greater than 100 gross 

tons carrying certain dangerous cargoes, or vessels carrying more than 150 passengers.

Management Measures 

Measure: Annual Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) Facility compliance rate with Transportation Worker Identification Credential 

(TWIC) regulations

Description: This measure reports the percent of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) regulated facilities that are found to be in 

compliance with the Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) regulations during CG inspections. The Security and Accountability for 

Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 requires the Coast Guard to conduct at least two MTSA security inspections on regulated facilities each year; one 

announced and one unannounced. CG Inspectors randomly sample different areas of a facility (admin staff, security staff, dock workers, etc.) to 

check for TWIC compliance by ensuring workers have a valid and current TWIC card. Some infractions can be corrected on the spot, e.g., a 

trucker forgot his TWIC in his truck cab. Depending on the number and severity of TWIC infractions, the inspector/Capt of the Port may find the 

facility not in compliance. Statistical guidelines have been developed based on the size of the facility to aid inspectors, and to ensure random 

sampling.

Measure: Percent reduction of all maritime security risk subject to U.S. Coast Guard influence

Description: This is a risk-based outcome measure that begins with an assessment (by maritime security subject matter experts) of sixteen highconsequence maritime terrorist attack scenarios. Threat, vulnerability, and consequence levels are estimated for each scenario, which generates a 

proxy (index) value of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. Next, U.S. Coast Guard interventions (security and response operations, 

regime and awareness activities) for the fiscal year are scored against the scenarios with regard to the decreases in threat, vulnerability and 

consequence that each has been estimated to have afforded. (The analysis then focuses on those areas within the U.S. Coast Guard's roles and 

strategic mandates.) The resulting measure is a proxy measure of performance. Targets were updated in FY16 due to a revised methodology.

Measure: Percent reduction of maritime security risk resulting from U.S. Coast Guard consequence management

Description: This measure indicates the estimated % of terrorist-related maritime risk reduction due to consequence mgmt, as a % of the risk that 

USCG has the ability to impact. This is a risk-based measure that involves the scoring (by maritime security subject matter experts) of sixteen 

high-consequence maritime terrorist attack scenarios with respect to threat, vulnerability, & consequence. Aggregation of maritime security risk 

scenarios generates an index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG layered interventions (both operational & regulatory-based) 

employed throughout the FY are scored against the attack scenarios with regard to the % consequence after a modeled attack has occurred. The 

resultant measure shows the reduction in "raw risk" from USCG consequence mitigation efforts alone.

Measure: Percent reduction of maritime security risk resulting from U.S. Coast Guard efforts to prevent a terrorist entering the U.S. via maritime 

means

Description: This measure is an estimate of the percent of terrorist-related maritime risk reduction of the illegal entry of a terrorist(s) through the 

maritime domain (as a percent of the risk that the USCG has the ability to impact). This is a risk-based measure that involves the scoring (by 

maritime security subject matter experts) with respect to threat, vulnerability and consequence of the illegal entry of a terrorist(s) into the U.S. with 

intent and capability to carry out terror attacks within the United States where vessels en route from foreign countries are used as a means of 

conveyance. Such scoring generates an index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. Next, USCG incremental interventions (awareness, 

operational and regulatory-based) that have taken place throughout the fiscal year are scored with regard to the effectiveness each has been 

estimated to have afforded. Targets were updated in FY16 due to a revised methodology.

Measure: Percent reduction of maritime security risk resulting from U.S. Coast Guard efforts to prevent a weapon of mass destruction from 

entering the United States via maritime means

Description: This measure is an estimate of the percent of terrorist-related maritime risk reduction of the illegal entry of a Weapon of Mass 

Destruction (WMD)/materials into the U.S. through the maritime domain (as a percent of the risk that the USCG has the ability to impact). This is 

a risk-based measure that involves the scoring (by maritime security subject matter experts) with respect to threat, vulnerability and consequence 

of the illegal entry of a WMD/materials into the United States to support ongoing terrorist operations where vessels enroute from foreign countries 

are used as a means of conveyance. Scoring generates an index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG incremental interventions 

(awareness, operational and regulatory-based) that have taken place throughout the fiscal year are scored with regard to the effectiveness that each 

has been estimated to have afforded. Targets were updated in FY16 due to a revised methodology.

Maritime Transportation Systems Management: The Marine Transportation System Management program ensures a safe, secure, efficient and 

environmentally sound waterways system. The U.S. Coast Guard minimizes disruptions to maritime commerce by assessing and mitigating risks 

to safe navigation and by providing waterways restoration capabilities after extreme weather events, marine accidents, or terrorist incidents. The 

U.S. Coast Guard works in concert with other Federal agencies, state and local governments, marine industries, maritime associations, and the 

international community to optimize balanced use of the Nation’s marine transportation system. The following statutory missions contribute to 

the U.S. Coast Guard’s Marine Transportation System Management program: Aids to Navigation and Ice Operations.

Strategic Measures

Measure: Availability of maritime navigation aids

Description: This measure indicates the hours that short-range federal Aids to Navigation are available. The aid availability rate is based on an 

international measurement standard established by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) 

(Recommendation O-130) in December 2004. A short-range Aid to Navigation is counted as not being available from the initial time a 

discrepancy is reported until the time the discrepancy is corrected.

*In FY 2019, USCG is transitioning to the DHS Common Appropriations Structure (CAS). FY 2017 and FY 2018 data reflect funding levels for legacy appropriations. Conversion to CAS results in the consolidation of legacy EC&R, RT, and MERHCF appropriations and 

acquisition personnel funding into O&S.

Component Budget Overview

The Coast Guard is the only branch of the U.S. Armed Forces within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the principal Federal agency 

responsible for maritime safety, security, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and inland waterways, along more than 95,000 miles of U.S. 

coastline, throughout the 4.5 million square miles of U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas. A military service, law 

enforcement agency, first responder during natural disasters, and member of the U.S. Intelligence Community, the Coast Guard supports DOD 

Combatant Commanders on all seven continents, secures our maritime borders, combats transnational criminal organizations, and safeguards the $4.6 

trillion U.S. maritime economy. The Service leverages an expansive array of military, interagency, international, and industrial relationships to 

maximize strategic effect and support DHS and National priorities.

The FY 2019 President’s Budget sustains the most critical Coast Guard operations and continues the Service’s highest priority recapitalization efforts 

for cutters, boats, aircraft, systems, and infrastructure. The Budget funds 50,256 positions; 48,643 FTE; and $10.9B to fund all 11 statutory Coast 
Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard

USCG - 17

Guard missions. In FY 2019, the Coast Guard continues to efficiently allocate budgetary resources to optimize performance across all Coast Guard 

mission programs and activities.

FY 2019 funding supports construction of the second Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) and Long Lead Time Material (LLTM) for the third. 

Furthermore, the Budget continues efforts on the heavy polar icebreaker program to meet growing demands in the Polar Regions, as well as funds the 

service-life extension of the POLAR STAR, the Nation’s only heavy icebreaker in service. In addition to surface recapitalization efforts, FY 2019 

funding continues sustainment and conversion work on in-service fixed and rotary wing aircraft, including missionization of the C-27J aircraft 

received from the Air Force, and investment in Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), which have proven to be highly effective in the Western 

Hemisphere transit zone.

The FY 2019 President’s Budget resources the Coast Guard to conduct today’s highest priority operations in support of national objectives. In 2019, 

the Coast Guard will accept delivery of more capable, modernized assets, including one National Security Cutter, six Fast Response Cutters, and two 

HC-130J aircraft – the Budget provides the resources to operate and maintain these new assets. 

In total, the FY 2019 Budget enables the Coast Guard to increase its workforce by 109 positions and 93 FTE to better facilitate mission success. The 

Budget also maintains parity with DOD for military pay (including providing a 2.6 percent military pay raise in 2019), allowances, and health care, 

and for civilian benefits and retirement contributions.

The U.S. Coast Guard also plans to transition to the Department’s Common Appropriations Structure in FY 2019. As part of that effort, activities 

previously funded through the Operating Expenses (OE), Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R), Reserve Training (RT), MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution (MERHCFC) appropriations, as well as acquisition personnel costs, are funded within the new 

Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation. The Acquisitions, Construction, and Improvements (AC&I) appropriation transitions to the new 

Procurement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I) appropriation. Additionally, the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) 

appropriation transitions to the new Research and Development (R&D) appropriation.

Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) Project Backlog Impact

The information presented below fulfills the directive in Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Department of Homeland 

Security Appropriations Act (P.L. 114-113): 

“The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget justification a listing of the activities projected to be funded by the amount requested 

under this heading and an updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and Restoration projects, with an explanation of how the 

amount requested will impact this documented backlog.”

The Coast Guard's prioritized listing of projects eligible for EC&R funding is reflective of the Coast Guard’s review of current EC&R requirements 

and both completion and consolidation of projects. This list contains 122 projects with an estimated total cost of $80M. Estimated costs include 

restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation work, site remediation work, and long term management) and to be executed 

across several years (e.g., long term management can potentially extend out to 30 years or more). The following table provides a detailed listing of 

potential future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as new information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes 

available.

FY 2019 EC&R funding of $13.4M, now provided in USCG’s Operations and Support appropriation, continues long term monitoring at 29 sites, 

begins or continues investigation/remediation site work at 19 sites, and displays a commitment to ongoing identification, investigation, cleanup, and 

long-term management of contamination from hazardous substances and pollutants for Coast Guard systems, buildings, structures, and assets.

*In FY 2019, USCG is transitioning to the DHS Common Appropriations Structure (CAS). FY 2017 and FY 2018 data reflect funding levels for legacy appropriations. Conversion to CAS results in the consolidation of legacy EC&R, RT, and MERHCF appropriations and 

acquisition personnel funding into O&S.

The Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation funds the Coast Guard’s roles and responsibilities as the principal Federal agency in the maritime 

domain providing for the safety, security, and stewardship of U.S. resources for the Nation.

The O&S appropriation funds the annualization of prior-year funding, economic adjustments, and operating and maintenance funding for new and 

existing Coast Guard Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs). The O&S request directly funds all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions and other 

Service activities in support of the Department of Homeland Security and National priorities. Of the funding, $24.5M is derived from the Oil Spill 

Liability Trust Fund as authorized by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC § 2701-2761).

The O&S request includes increases for the annualization of FY 2018 initiatives; the FY 2019 military pay increase of 2.6 percent; military and 

civilian personnel allowances and benefits; operational adjustments; the operation, maintenance, and crewing of systems, vessels, aircraft, and shore 

facilities delivered via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (i.e., Shore Facilities, Fast Response Cutter (FRC), National Security Cutter (NSC), 

C-27J Aircraft, and HC-130J Aircraft); the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program, including training, 

equipping, and ensuring the readiness the Coast Guard Reserve workforce to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of crisis, 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG-O&S-5

domestically or worldwide; the environmental remediation and restoration of Coast Guard facilities, including site assessment, remediation, and longterm monitoring and management at Coast Guard facilities; and the accrual of the Coast Guard’s military Medicare-eligible retiree health care fund

contribution to the Department of Defense.

The FY 2019 Budget sustains the Coast Guard’s operational readiness to meet today’s needs and challenges, while investing in long-term mission 

capability. The O&S request includes decreases to continue the focus on the most critical frontline operations in FY 2019. The O&S request 

includes decreases for: termination of one-time costs; annualization of prior-year initiative reductions; operational adjustments; and aircraft 

decommissionings.

The Coast Guard is transitioning to the DHS Common Appropriations Structure in FY 2019. Accordingly, activities funded through the previous 

Operating Expenses (OE), Reserve Training (RT), Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R), and Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care 

Fund Contribution (MERHCFC) appropriations are now funded through the new O&S appropriation. In addition, acquisition personnel costs 

previously funded through the Procurement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I) appropriation are now funded through the new O&S 

appropriation.

Total Program Changes 109 (50) $57,810

Program Change 1 – Aircraft FAA Compliance & Obsolete Equipment Replacement ($20.2M): Provides funding to continue necessary 

upgrades and associated equipment replacement to ensure Coast Guard HC-130J and HC-144 aircraft comply with Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) 2020 requirements. This continues a multi-year maintenance and obsolete equipment replacement program that is conducted in conjunction 

with planned depot maintenance for the HC-144s and with a Joint Users Group, including partners from all U.S. Government HC-130J users.

Funding also initiates integration, testing, and fielding of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) capability on all aircraft to comply 

with FAA 2020 requirements. Upgrades are required for aircraft to remain usable in all flight regimes and airspace in 2020.

Program Change 2 – MILSATCOM Obsolete Equipment Replacement ($9.3M): Provides funding to start the Mobile User Objective System 

(MUOS) integration on assets with existing Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM) Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communication

capabilities. MILSATCOM provides a reliable means of communication in theater, disaster areas, and remote latitudes and also permits consistent 

data exchange for maritime domain awareness (MDA) and law enforcement missions. The existing MILSATCOM UHF Follow-On system is 

beyond its service life and is experiencing system degradation and performance issues. The current system will be nonfunctional by 2024 and must

be replaced by MUOS. Operational assets that do not integrate to MUOS will lose MILSATCOM UHF communication capabilities. Obsolete 

equipment on all aircraft and surface assets more than 110 feet in length, as well as shore command and control facilities must be replaced.

Program Change 3 – Mission Essential Systems (MES) ($5.0M): Provides funding for information technology infrastructure improvements to the 

Coast Guard One Network, the Service’s primary unclassified computer network. Funding also supports the Coast Guard’s compliance with DOD 

information network standards for improved cyber security (e.g., firewall functions, intrusion detection and prevention, enterprise infrastructure, and 

virtual routing). As a military service, the Coast Guard operates on the dot-mil network and must remain interoperable with DOD for national 

security and national defense missions.

Program Change 4 – Cutter Underway Connectivity Obsolete Equipment Replacement (1 Position, 1 FTE, $1.4M): Provides funding and one 

position / FTE to start a multi-year process to address obsolescence and replace existing Commercial Satellite Communication (COMSATCOM) 

equipment providing network connectivity for surface assets. Current generation COMSATCOM equipment is near the end of its service life and is 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG-O&S-18

no longer commercially available or supported. Underway connectivity requirements, including bandwidth and reliability, have increased

significantly since the installation of the current generation equipment. Additionally, time-sensitive system patching necessary to address cyber 

threats has slowed computer network connectivity for underway surface assets.

Program Change 5 – DHS Immigration Database Initiative (IDI) (1 Position, 1 FTE, $0.1M): Provides funding and one position / FTE to 

manage, analyze, and disseminate immigration data across DHS. The absence of a Department-wide integrated system prevents analysis of 

immigration enforcement and benefits lifecycles and construction of a comprehensive empirical model to support strategic-level decision making. As 

the primary component responsible for undocumented migrant interdiction in the maritime environment, the Coast Guard’s immigration data must be 

included in any integrated effort to consolidate Department-wide data to inform and strengthen strategic decision-making.

Program Change 6 – Department of State Special Issuance Passports (Official & Diplomatic) ($0.8M): Provides funding for new mandatory 

reimbursements to the Department of State (DOS) for special issuance passports (official and diplomatic) for Coast Guard personnel and expenses for 

passport agent certification required for Coast Guard passport agents. Funding also supports Foreign Affairs Counter Threat (FACT) training 

required for personnel traveling overseas on official government business.

Program Change 7 – Acquisition Personnel & Management (92 Positions, 46 FTE, $6.8M): Provides funding and 92 positions / 46 FTE to 

increase the Coast Guard’s professional acquisition workforce. Additional acquisition professionals are required to oversee and support the following 

programs and activities (not all inclusive): Polar Icebreaker, Offshore Patrol Cutter, In-Service Vessel Sustainment, Financial Cost Estimators, and 

Professional Staff. Personnel are required as new programs ramp up (e.g., OPC, Polar) while also maintaining existing programs that have not yet 

completed (e.g., NSC, FRC). Further, other staff is needed to meet DHS acquisition requirements (e.g., Cost Estimators).

Program Change 8 – Shore Facility Follow-On (8 Positions, 4 FTE, $2.6M): Provides funding and 8 positions / 4 FTE for the operation and 

maintenance of recapitalized shore facilities scheduled for completion prior to and during 2019, as well as shore support requirements for DHS. This 

funding request is necessary for energy, utility services, and routine repairs. Also included is funding for maintenance and repairs (e.g., system 

renewals, preventive and emergency maintenance, scheduled inspections, etc.) anticipated throughout the life of each new Coast Guard facility.

Additionally, the request provides the resources required to operate and maintain new and improved facilities completed under the following PC&I

projects:

 Air Station Cape Cod Housing 

 Hurricane Sandy Repairs to Stations Sandy Hook, Atlantic City, Manasquan, and New York 

 Air Stations Sacramento, Elizabeth City, and Clearwater Shore Facilities 

 Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi Facilities Improvements 

 Stations Fairport and Vallejo Facilities Improvements

Program Change 9 – Fast Response Cutter (FRC) Follow-On (206 Positions, 112 FTE, $24.7M): Provides funding and 206 positions / 112 FTE 

for the operation and maintenance of FRCs.

 FRC Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for Hulls 31-36 ($11.3M): Provides O&M funding for FRC hulls 31-36 to be homeported in 

Cape May, New Jersey; Galveston, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and San Pedro, California.

 FRC Crews for Hulls 34-38 (140 Positions, 84 FTE, $9.6M): Provides personnel to operate and maintain FRC hulls 34-38 to be 

homeported in Cape May, New Jersey; Galveston, Texas; and Honolulu, Hawaii. Advance arrival of the crews is critical to ensure appropriate 

pre-arrival training is received and to ensure crew readiness prior to cutter delivery.

 FRC Follow-On Support Hulls 31-38 (66 Positions, 28 FTE, $3.8M): Provides personnel for shore-side support of FRC hulls 31-38 to be 

homeported in Cape May, New Jersey; Galveston, Texas; Honolulu, Hawaii; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and San Pedro, California. These 

personnel staff the shore-side maintenance teams to conduct vessel, electronics system, and weapons maintenance.

Program Change 10 – National Security Cutter (NSC) Follow-On (76 Positions, 38 FTE, $24.0M): Provides funding and 76 positions / 38 FTE 

for the operation and maintenance of NSCs.

 NSC O&M for NSC 8 ($17.2M): Provides O&M for NSC 8, scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of FY 2019 and to be homeported 

in Honolulu, Hawaii.

 NSC Tactical Cryptologic Afloat Crew Follow-On (42 Positions, 21 FTE, $4.4M): Provides personnel and follow-on funding for required 

analytic support and training for tactical cryptologic deployers operating and maintaining the tactical cryptologic systems on NSCs. In 

addition, provides required mission support for tactical cryptologic deployers and enhances the capabilities of the NSC fleet to collect and 

analyze intelligence, detect and interdict law enforcement targets of interest, and address national security threats in all regions, including the 

Arctic.

 NSC Follow-On Support (34 Positions, 17 FTE, $2.4M): Provides the final installment of personnel for shore-side support of NSC hulls 7 

and 8 to be homeported in Honolulu, Hawaii. These personnel staff the shore-side maintenance teams to conduct vessel, electronics system, 

and weapons maintenance.

Program Change 11 – C-27J Aircraft Support Follow-On (2 Positions, 1 FTE, $0.7M): Provides personnel, including associated non-recurring 

funding for initial flight screening, basic flight training, and fixed-wing advanced training, to support the C-27J aircraft fleet at the Aviation Logistics 

Center. These personnel support the long-term sustainment requirements to maintain the C-27J fleet.

Program Change 12 – HC-130J Aircraft Follow-On (66 Positions, 34 FTE, $11.2M): Provides funding for personnel, O&M, and support for HC130J aircraft #10 and #11.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG-O&S-20

Program Change 13 – Elimination of Crew Rotation Concept Pilot Program (-231 Positions, -231 FTE, -$31.7M): Eliminates funding and 231 

positions / 231 FTE for Crew Rotation Concept (CRC) operations on National Security Cutter (NSC) hulls 1-3 homeported in Alameda, California. 

The CRC program consists of a squadron overhead management component in Alameda, a fourth crew for NSC hulls 1-3, additional tactical

cryptologic deployers, and O&M funds to increase NSC operational tempo (OPTEMPO). The concept disproportionately increased cost while 

providing only marginal increases in days in theater and performance. CRC would also have significant negative impacts on cutter crews and 

maintenance. The multi-crewing concept would result in personnel tempo fluctuations impacting crew work-life, training, and proficiency. Further, 

the complex cutter schedule reduced the likelihood of completing required maintenance within scheduled maintenance periods and forced either a 

cost prohibitive, logistically challenging in-theater maintenance period or a reduction in operational presence. Elimination of the CRC program 

standardizes operations across the NSC fleet and avoids costly and inefficient CRC implementation in the two other NSC homeports, including 

Charleston, South Carolina and Honolulu, Hawaii.

Program Change 14 – St. Elizabeths Physical Security (-$1.2M): Reflects savings for Coast Guard Headquarters physical security at the St. 

Elizabeths campus. 

Program Change 15 – Four HC-130H Aircraft – Planned (-112 Positions, -56 FTE, -$16.2M): Retires four HC-130H airframes and the 

associated 3,200 flight hours. The HC-130H fleet is beyond its projected service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. These assets 

are being replaced by more efficient and effective HC-130J aircraft.

The Military Pay and Allowances PPA funds expenses related to compensation and benefits for active duty military personnel. This PPA includes 

pay, allowances, employer’s share of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), Social Security credits, and other expenses associated with 

compensating military personnel. Costs related to compensation are calculated by using the Coast Guard’s Standard Personnel Cost (SPC) tables. 

These tables are updated annually and provide a detailed calculation for each position, broken down by rank/rate, location in the United States or out 

of the country. Medical costs and permanent change of station (PCS) expenses are calculated based on actuarial factors and historic precedent. The 

FY 2019 Budget includes a 2.6 percent pay increase for military personnel.

To transition the Coast Guard to CAS in FY 2019, this PPA also reflects the transfer of funding for military acquisition personnel into the O&S 

appropriation.

The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, maritime service. Active duty military personnel ensure the Service remains agile, 

adaptable, and ready to serve the Nation’s maritime interests across a range of dynamic operational environments. As members of one of the 

Nation’s five Armed Forces and the only military service within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Coast Guard military personnel 

conduct missions that protect the public and U.S. interests in the Nation’s inland waters, ports, waterways, coastal regions, territorial seas, and on the 

high seas.

NARRATIVE EXPLANATION OF CHANGES

FTE Change FY 2018-2019: The change reflects a net increase of 454 FTE. The increase is primarily driven by the transfer of military acquisition 

personnel from the PC&I appropriation to the O&S account. The change includes the annualization of FY 2018 initiatives and FTE increases due to 

FY 2019 initiatives, including follow-on requirements for new assets delivered via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (i.e., shore facilities, FRC, 

NSC, C-27J, and HC-130J). The FTE change also reflects decreases due to the elimination of the CRC pilot program and planned decommissioning 

of four HC-130H aircraft.

PC&B Change FY 2018-2019: The change includes funding to annualize the 2018 military pay raise of 2.4 percent, 2019 military pay raise of 2.6

percent, and basic allowance for housing (BAH). The change also reflects the transfer of military acquisition personnel from the PC&I appropriation 

to the O&S account.

Average Cost Change FY 2018-2019: The average cost change is due to personnel cost increases related to the pay raise, allowances, and benefits 

that affect all FTE. The rate change is also impacted by the transfer of military acquisition personnel, which are generally higher ranks compared to 

the existing military FTE in this PPA.

The Civilian Pay and Benefits PPA funds expenses related to compensation and entitlements for Federal civilian employees. The workforce is 

composed of General Schedule (GS) personnel, Administrative Law (AL) Judges, Senior Executive Service (SES) personnel, personnel whose 

salaries are Administratively Determined (AD) (e.g., Coast Guard Academy civilian faculty members), Wage Grade (WG) positions employed in 

industrial operations, and “Non-Ceiling” (NC) employees (e.g., cooperative education students, student aides, and Federal junior fellows). The FY 

2019 Budget includes funding for retirement contributions for the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).

To transition the Coast Guard to CAS in FY 2019, this PPA also reflects the transfer of funding for civilian acquisition personnel into the O&S 

appropriation.

Civilian personnel are an integral part of the Coast Guard and vital to execution of its statutory missions. The Coast Guard continues to complement 

its military workforce by recruiting diverse, well-educated, and dedicated civilians needed to meet current and future demands.

NARRATIVE EXPLANATION OF CHANGES

FTE Change FY 2018-2019: The change reflects a net increase of 474 FTE. The increase is primarily driven by the transfer of civilian acquisition 

personnel from the PC&I appropriation to the O&S account. The change includes the annualization of FY 2018 initiatives and FTE increases due to 

FY 2019 initiatives, including follow-on requirements for new assets delivered via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (i.e., shore facilities and 

NSC). The FTE change also reflects decreases due to the elimination of the CRC pilot program.

PC&B Change FY 2018-2019: The change includes funding to annualize the 2018 civilian pay raise of 1.9 percent and funding for required 

government contributions to FEGLI, FEHB, and TSP. The change also reflects the transfer of civilian acquisition personnel from the PC&I

appropriation to the O&S account.

Average Cost Change FY 2018-2019: The average cost change is due to personnel cost increases related to the pay raise annualization and benefits

that impact all FTE. The rate change is also impacted by the transfer of civilian acquisition personnel, which are generally higher grades compared to 

the existing civilian FTE in this PPA.

Bonuses and Performance Awards: The FY 2019 Budget request estimates $10.0M for bonuses and performance awards.

The Training and Recruiting PPA provides funding for the Coast Guard’s basic and advanced professional training and education programs. 

Additionally, it funds the operation and maintenance of the eight national Coast Guard training centers, the Coast Guard Academy, nine regional 

training centers, and all Coast Guard recruiting centers. The Coast Guard’s Force Readiness Command serves as the principal training component 

charged with optimizing human performance to enhance mission execution. The Force Readiness Command provides clear tactics, techniques, and 

procedures, relevant training, and quality assessments throughout the fleet. Enhanced safety and efficiencies and unit readiness is realized through 

service-wide assessments and standardization, and the management of armories, ammunition and small arms firing ranges.

Annually the Coast Guard training system conducts Basic Training for 4,500 recruits and commissions 300 officers. Further, initial enlisted specialty 

training occurs at 19 ”A” school programs, and advanced and specialized training is conducted in over 675 “C” school programs.

The Training and Recruiting PPA also includes essential funding to recruit and process Coast Guard applicants into the enlisted and officer corps, 

including expenses for members that are processed through the Military Entrance Processing Stations (MEPS) prior to accession. In addition, funding 

provides for tuition, travel, and per diem for formal training and education performed by military service members and civilian personnel. Through 

internal and external efficiency reviews and prioritization efforts, it ensures prudent allocation of resources for training and workforce preparation 

that arm Coast Guard personnel with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to execute missions. 

The Coast Guard maintains a rigorous set of standard operating procedures to ensure the validity and reliability of training and stewardship of 

training resources. In addition to the training provided by the Coast Guard, the funding also ensures adequate resources are available for opportunities 

provided through other DHS training facilities, DOD, other Government agencies, and commercial providers. Training and education are conducted 

by dedicated resident staffs in classrooms, but may also include exportable training, correspondence courses, and/or computer-based training.

NON PAY NARRATIVE

Training and Education: Funding supports formal training, including temporary duty pay for civilian and military personnel, and travel costs. The 

change is primarily driven by termination of FY 2018 one-time training costs and PPA technical base funding adjustments. The change also reflects 

both one-time and recurring training costs associated with bringing new assets (i.e., NSC, FRC, C-27J, and HC-130J) into service, including training 

requirements for crews and support personnel. In addition, the change includes increases for Foreign Affairs Counter Threat (FACT) training costs 

associated with the DOS Special Issuance Passports (Official & Diplomatic) program change.

Recruiting and Training Centers: Funding supports the operating and maintenance expenses for Coast Guard training and recruiting centers. It also 

includes funding for tuition, formal training, and associated costs. The change is primarily driven by NSC and FRC follow-on funding for training 

provided at Coast Guard training centers. The change also reflects increases for annualization of FY 2018 initiatives and PPA technical base funding 

adjustments.

administrative control of the Coast Guard’s Headquarters and Atlantic Area or Pacific Area Commanders. These include National Security Cutters 

(NSC); High and Medium Endurance Cutters (WHECs/WMECs); Sectors; Patrol Boats; Multi-mission Boat Stations; Air Stations; Communication 

Stations; Deployable Specialized Forces (DSF); support commands; and Area and District Offices. The funding provides supplies, materials, and 

services that allow the Coast Guard to sustain its operations tempo and an immediate response capability. The request funds unit level maintenance of 

cutters, boats, aircraft, electronics systems, mechanical systems, and electrical equipment; service-life replacement and emergent purchase of boats; 

procurement of supplies and materials utilized for unit “housekeeping” and administration; spare parts; liquid fuel and energy; and other materials 

consumed that contribute directly to mission effectiveness.

NON PAY NARRATIVE

Area Commands: Funds all units, facilities, and activities that are under the direct operational control of the Coast Guard’s Atlantic and Pacific Area 

Commanders. The change is primarily driven by the elimination of the CRC pilot program. In addition, the change reflects increases for follow-on 

funding for the eighth NSC. 

District Area Commands: Funds all units, facilities, and activities that are under the direct operational control of the Coast Guard’s District 

Commanders. The change is primarily driven by follow-on funding for the FRC and HC-130J aircraft. In addition, the change reflects decreases for 

termination of funding due to the retirement of four HC-130H aircraft.

Headquarters: Funds Coast Guard Headquarters and centralized activities which support field operations. The change is primarily driven by the 

transfer of working capital contributions to DHS Chief Readiness Support Officer (CRSO) and DHS OCFO, annualization of FY 2018 initiative 

reductions, and PPA technical base funding adjustments. In addition, the change reflects increases for follow-on funding to facilitate the efficient 

execution and oversight of NSC and FRC operations.

Logistics and Service Centers: Funds all units, facilities, and activities under the direct operational control of Coast Guard Headquarters. The 

change is primarily driven by follow-on funding for the NSC and FRC, as well as follow-on funding to maintain and operate recapitalized shore

facilities. In addition, the change reflects the pricing increase of the Base Operating Support Services contract in Kodiak, Alaska.

The Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance PPA funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s vessels, aircraft, and shore 

facilities. This PPA also funds maintenance and support of enterprise IT software systems, enterprise communication/network services, standard 

workstations, the Coast Guard Data Network (CGOne), cybersecurity, satellite and data communications, and other Coast Guard-wide Command, 

Control, Communication, Computers, and Information Technology (C4IT) systems. The Coast Guard maintains its vessels, aircraft, shore 

infrastructure, and C4IT systems using a blend of organic maintenance and repair infrastructure, and contracted depot level maintenance activities. 

A mature project planning and execution program exists within the Coast Guard to provide routine organizational level and depot level maintenance. 

Where expertise or infrastructure does not exist organically within the Service, the Coast Guard uses contracted resources to provide the requisite 

maintenance support.

NON PAY NARRATIVE

Aeronautical Depot Level Maintenance: Funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s aircraft using a blend of organic 

maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted depot level maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by the continued effort to 

address aircraft FAA compliance requirements and replace obsolete aircraft equipment. In addition, the change includes both increases for aircraft 

depot maintenance requirements driven by follow-on funding for two HC-130J aircraft and decreases due to the retirement of four HC-130H aircraft. 

Electronics Maintenance: Funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s C4IT systems using a blend of organic maintenance 

and repair infrastructure and contracted depot level maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by the replacement of obsolete cutter 

satellite communications equipment, Mobile User Objective System integration with existing MILSATCOM Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 

communications capabilities, and infrastructure improvements to the Coast Guard One Network to support Mission Essential Systems. The change 

also includes increases for electronics depot maintenance requirements driven by follow-on funding for the NSC and FRC. Further, the change 

reflects the decrease associated with the transfer of funding to DHS CRSO for the St. Elizabeth’s campus Technology Integration Program (TIP) 

contract and the increase due to PPA technical base funding adjustments to support information technology funding consolidation efforts started in 

FY 2018.

Civil/Ocean Engineering and Shore Facilities Depot Level Maintenance: Funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s 

shore infrastructure using a blend of organic maintenance and repair infrastructure and contracted depot level maintenance activities. The change is 

primarily driven by follow-on funding to maintain and operate recapitalized shore facilities.

Vessel Depot Level Maintenance: Funds the Coast Guard’s depot level maintenance for the Service’s vessels using a blend of organic maintenance 

and repair infrastructure and contracted depot level maintenance activities. The change is primarily driven by follow-on funding for vessel depot 

maintenance requirements for the NSC and FRC. In addition, the change also reflects decreases associated with NSC maintenance requirements due 

to the elimination of the CRC pilot program.

As part of the Coast Guard’s transition to CAS in FY 2019, Reserve Training transferred from a stand-alone appropriation to a PPA within the O&S 

appropriation.

The Reserve Training PPA funds the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program and ensures the readiness of a 

7,000 member Coast Guard Reserve, which provides units with personnel to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of crisis, 

domestically or worldwide.

Coast Guard Reserve Forces provide qualified and trained personnel for active duty in support of a contingency event, conflict, national emergency, 

or natural and man-made disasters. Reservists maintain their readiness through mobilization and training exercises alongside regular, active duty

Coast Guard members during routine and emergency operations. Reservists continue to serve as a cost-effective surge force to enhance the Nation’s 

resilience to disasters.

As part of the Coast Guard’s transition to CAS in FY 2019, Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) transferred from a stand-alone 

appropriation to a PPA within the O&S appropriation.

The EC&R PPA provides funding for environmental cleanup, sustainment, and restoration of current and former contaminated Coast Guard facilities, 

including site assessment, remediation, and long term monitoring and management. Additionally, it funds engineering remedies on Coast Guard 

assets for the purpose of obtaining or restoring compliance with environmental laws and preventing contamination and environmental damage.

EC&R funding ensures the Coast Guard maintains its responsibilities associated with environmental stewardship. The Coast Guard complies with the 

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and other applicable Federal or State laws to clean up contamination at current and former Coast Guard 

properties.

EC&R activities include site investigation and remediation activities at shore facilities. These include Coast Guard property slated for divestiture or 

transfer, and engineering changes to Coast Guard buildings and structures for the purpose of complying with environmental laws and preventing 

contamination and environmental damage.

The FY 2019 Budget continues long term monitoring at 29 sites, begins or continues investigation/remediation site work at 19 sites, and displays a 

commitment to ongoing identification, investigation, cleanup, and long-term management of contamination from hazardous substances and pollutants 

for Coast Guard systems, buildings, structures, and assets.

Site Investigation / Remediation Activities (19 locations): Provides funding to perform site remediation work at 19 locations to clean up hazardous 

substances and pollutants. The number of locations requiring site remediation activities increases; however, site investigation and remediation 

activity costs decrease as more costly site investigation/remediation projects are completed and transition to long-term site management.

Long Term Management of Restoration Project Sites (29 locations): Provides funding to continue long-term management work at 29 locations 

where remediation activities work was completed. Increases in long term management costs support activities at additional locations and ongoing 

priorities, including: monitoring and management work spanning multiple years to include sampling, analysis, site inspections, post closure 

maintenance, validation of land use controls, groundwater monitoring, monitoring of natural attenuation of groundwater contamination, and 

validation of institutional controls.

Environmental Compliance Projects and Activities: Provides funding to support all environmental compliance and restoration projects and 

activities.

As part of the Coast Guard’s transition to CAS in FY 2019, Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution (MERHCFC) transferred from 

a stand-alone appropriation to a PPA within the O&S appropriation.

The MERHCFC PPA funds accrual of the Coast Guard’s military Medicare-eligible health benefit contribution to DOD. Contributions are for future 

Medicare-eligible retirees, as well as retiree dependents and their potential survivors. The authority for the Coast Guard to make this payment, on an 

annual basis, is provided in P.L. 108-375, the 2005 Defense Appropriations Act. The Coast Guard’s annual budget estimate for MERHCFC is 

calculated by multiplying the projected average force strength (FTE) by DOD actuary projected normal cost rates for active duty and reserve 

personnel. While this expenditure requires no annual action by Congress, it is scored as discretionary spending.

*The Coast Guard is transitioning to the Procurement, Construction, and Improvements appropriation in FY 2019 from the former Acquisitions, Construction, and Improvements appropriation. Funding 

amounts in this and all other tables are presented using the new budget structure.

Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Procurement, Construction and Improvements (PC&I) appropriation provides for the acquisition, procurement, construction, 

rebuilding, and improvement of vessels, aircraft, shore facilities and military housing, aids to navigation (ATON) systems and facilities, and 

command, control, communications and computer systems and related equipment. 

Funds appropriated for PC&I are managed by Coast Guard acquisition project managers who oversee these projects and apply best practices, in 

accordance with the Coast Guard’s Major Systems Acquisition Manual (MSAM), applicable Department of Homeland Security (DHS) management 

directives, and the Department’s Financial Management Policy Manual, to optimize the return on recapitalization investments. Through processes 

documented in the MSAM, acquisition managers follow a continuum of activities ranging from pre-acquisition concept development to deployment 

and sustainment. Activities and documentation produced throughout the acquisition lifecycle inform budget requests and budget-related project 

activities. 

The FY 2019 President’s Budget requests $1.167B for PC&I. The following is the funding for each Program, Project, and Activity (PPA) within the

PC&I appropriation: 
U.S. Coast Guard Procurement, Construction, and Improvements

USCG – PC&I - 5

 Vessels - $823.8M

 Aircraft - $148.0M

 Other Acquisition Programs - $60.0M

 Shore Facilities and Aids to Navigation (ATON) - $135.0M

 Alteration of Bridges - $0.0M

In FY 2019, the U.S. Coast Guard will be transitioning to the Department’s Common Appropriations Structure (CAS). In accordance with this 

change, activities previously funded through the Acquisitions, Construction, and Improvements appropriation are now resourced through the PC&I 

appropriation, except that acquisition personnel salaries and benefits are now funded through the Coast Guard’s Operations and Support (O&S) 

appropriation. In addition, the Alteration of Bridges appropriation will be transferred and displayed as a PPA within the PC&I appropriation.

PPA Description

The Vessels PPA provides funding to recapitalize and/or make capital improvements to Coast Guard cutters and boats. With many of the Coast 

Guard’s surface assets operating beyond their design service life; recapitalization and sustainment projects are critical to ensuring continued mission 

effectiveness and readiness of the fleet. The FY 2019 President’s Budget continues efforts that will lead to award of a contract for Detail Design and 

Construction for the heavy Polar Icebreaker program; funds construction of the second Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC); supports Survey and Design for 

emerging life-cycle event driven maintenance on cutters and boats; funds program and analyze/select phase documentation to inform potential 

solutions for the aging Inland River and Construction Tender fleet; and continues the National Security Cutter (NSC), Fast Response Cutter (FRC), 

Cutter Boats, and In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) programs on schedule. The Coast Guard fleet of cutters and boats supported by this PPA 

collectively perform all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions in the offshore, coastal, and inland operational areas. 

The Coast Guard’s future fleet is replacing the aging High and Medium Endurance Cutters, Island Class Patrol Boats, Inland River and Construction 

Tenders, and legacy Heavy Polar Icebreakers. These modern assets will provide improved endurance, speed, sea-keeping, surveillance, icebreaking 

capabilities, and persistent presence in the offshore area of responsibility (AOR).

PPA Level II Description

This PPA funds multi-year engineering survey and design work in direct support of emerging In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) projects. 

Preliminary survey and design work is essential to properly plan and scope sustainment availabilities, such as Midlife Maintenance Availabilities 

(MMA), Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP), and Service Life Extension Projects (SLEP). As in-service vessels continue to age, this program 

conducts detailed hull condition surveys, along with engineering design work useful in identifying and planning future projects. 

The FY 2019 President’s Budget provides funding to support initiatives related to conducting a MMA on CGC HEALY (Medium Icebreaker).

Justification

HEALY serves as a platform for supporting missions primarily in the Arctic region, including search and rescue, ship escort, environmental 

protection, enforcement of laws and treaties, and Arctic research. Funds requested will be used to assess potential options based on previous 

inspections of hull, mechanical, weapons, and electrical systems and subsystems. Specifically, assessments will evaluate system suitability for 

possible future sustainment projects.

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funding supports program management activities and continues Service Life Extension Project (SLEP) efforts on the 140-foot 

Icebreaking Tugs, 47-foot Motor Life Boats, and 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters; and continues Mid-Life Maintenance Availability (MMA) 

efforts on the 225-foot Seagoing Buoy Tender fleet. 

Justification

The In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) program provides program management and logistics support for life-cycle event vessel repair 

availabilities including Mid-Life Maintenance Availabilities (MMAs) and Service Life Extension Projects (SLEPs) on existing Coast Guard vessels. 

MMAs ensure in-service vessels meet their design service life through the recapitalization of hull, mechanical, electrical (HM&E) and electronic 

systems that have been identified as the highest contributors to maintenance costs and operational availability degradation. SLEPs increase in-service 

vessels service life without significantly modifying capabilities. The following projects currently make up the ISVS program:

 140-foot Ice Breaking Tugs (WTGBs): The lead ship in this class has been in continuous service since 1978. This ongoing sustainment 

program is the first to be performed on this fleet. Specific system upgrades and improvements include: propulsion plant; heating, ventilation, 

and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; installation of an engine room fire suppression system; boat launching davit replacement; and crew 

habitability improvements to meet current standards. 

 225-foot Ocean Going Buoy Tenders (WLBs): This class was placed in service in 1996 and was designed to meet a 30-year service life. 

Achieving that service life is predicated upon a mid-life availability to address obsolescence of select engineering systems. The ongoing 

WLB MMA includes a stability assessment; electrical load analysis; upgrades to the machinery control system, controllable pitch propeller 

system, and HVAC systems; topside preservation; overhauls of deck equipment and weight handling gear; and crew habitability updates to 

meet current standards.
U.S. Coast Guard Procurement, Construction, and Improvements

USCG – PC&I - 24

 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters (WMECs): This class began entering service in 1983 and underwent a Mission Effectiveness Project 

(MEP) to address operational readiness degradation. FY 2019 funds support project planning, system evaluation and engineering analysis,

and development of analyze/select phase documentation for induction into the ISVS program. 

 47-foot Motor Life Boat (MLB): The fleet of 47-foot MLBs, constructed from 1997 to 2003, was designed for a 25-year service life and 

several of the MLB’s critical systems have become obsolete and difficult to support. Engineering evaluations identified the propulsion 

system (engines, reduction gears, and the integrated control system) and a variety of mission-specific equipment, as requiring recapitalization. 

Repairs and updates to these systems and components will be performed to prevent loss of operational readiness and to stabilize maintenance 

costs.

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funding will support Post Delivery Activities (PDA) for the seventh through ninth NSCs that are necessary to make these 

cutters ready for operations, as well as class-wide activities which include Test and Evaluation, program execution and support, and program closeout support to ensure an adequate and complete basis of technical and logistical material and information for full transition to sustainment.

Justification

These Legend Class NSCs are replacing the legacy High Endurance Cutters (WHECs), built between 1967 and 1972. Compared to WHECs, the 

NSCs provide increased endurance, intelligence, and maritime domain awareness capability in the offshore environment and better integration with 

Department of Defense operations. The NSC, along with the OPC, will comprise the Coast Guard’s offshore response capability for the next 40 

years, and is an essential element of DHS’s layered security posture. 

NSC missions are primarily focused on drug interdiction, fisheries enforcement, and defense readiness. NSCs also perform search and rescue; ports, 

waterways and coastal security; migrant interdiction; and serve as mobile command and control platforms for surge operations. Completion of the 

NSC program will improve long-term capacity and capability in the execution of long-range and extended Coast Guard mission assignments 

offshore.

Cutter Boats N/A Non-Major Procurement Non-IT No $4,000 $1,000 $5,000

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funding will continue the acquisition, development and management of production, delivery and warranty support for multimission cutter boats on NSCs, OPCs, FRCs, and support for in-service boat replacement. The boat acquisition program management office (PMO) 

provides centralized technical and acquisition support and expertise for both cutter boats and station response boats. Current active boat acquisition 

programs include Cutter Boat-Large (CB-L), Over-The-Horizon (OTH), Long Range Interceptor (LRI), and Response Boat-Small (RB-S).

Justification

The boat acquisition PMO ensures commonality across the operational community by supporting procurement of boats throughout the Coast Guard 

for use on newly acquired assets, as well as replacement boats for stations and in-service cutters. Given the expiration schedule of existing 

acquisition contracts, the PMO will initiate new contracts to develop the next generation of the OTH and will extend program support for the LRI in 

order to align with cutter delivery schedules. 

The OTH is deployed on the NSC, FRC, Polar Icebreaker, and WMEC, and will be the cutter boat for the OPC. The OTH is a single-engine, opencabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) to deploy boarding parties to pursue and interdict targets of interest, and 

perform search and rescue operations.

The LRI is deployed on the NSC. The LRI is a dual-engine, enclosed-cabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) 

with enhanced crew protection/comfort, greater storage capacity for longer duration missions, and increased capability for passenger and cargo 

transport.

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funding will support program management activities to award a contract for Detail Design and Construction in FY 2019. 

Specifically, this funding supports the following: program management office support; logistics planning; feasibility studies and maintaining the 

indicative design; cyber-security planning; system integration test planning, C4ISR support, project resident office initiation, and Navy reimbursable 

technical support.

Justification

To support national interests in the Polar Regions and provide assured surface presence in those ice-impacted waters, the Coast Guard is 

recapitalizing its heavy polar icebreaking fleet. The Program is pursuing efficient, timely, and cost-effective solutions towards this objective to 

manage and limit acquisition risks, optimize operational effectiveness, and minimize life-cycle costs. 

The Program entered the “Need” phase at Acquisition Decision Event (ADE-0) in July 2012, and transitioned to the “Analyze/Select” phase (ADE-1) 

in June 2014. In July 2016, the Coast Guard established an Integrated Program Office with the Navy to continue efforts to accelerate the construction 

timeline and leverage the expertise and best practices from shipbuilding programs in both services. Based on this collaboration and lessons learned 

by the Navy, the Program was able to significantly mature the acquisition approach with the incorporation of Industry Studies to identify solutions to 

minimize cost, schedule, production, and technology risks. Industry Studies focused on leveraging industry perspectives, existing vessel designs, and 

use of mature technology, which informed the iterative development of the Heavy Polar Icebreaker system specification. Future “Obtain” phase 

activities include release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) and award of a contract for Detail Design & Construction in FY 2019.

Waterways Commerce Cutter N/A Non-Major Procurement Non-IT No - $1,100 $5,000

PPA Level II Description

The Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) program will evaluate materiel and non-materiel options to replace the capabilities provided by the current 

fleet of inland tenders and barges commissioned between 1944 and 1990. The current fleet is comprised of 75-foot, 100-foot, and 160-foot Inland 

Construction Tenders (WLIC); 65-foot and 100-foot Inland Buoy Tenders (WLI); and 65-foot and 75-foot River Buoy Tenders (WLR) that 

collectively average over 55 years in age. Funding supports Program Management Office (PMO) activities to evaluate replacement of this vital 

capability, including the potential for commercial services and alternative crewing options, as well as recapitalization alternatives.

Justification

These platforms that serve the Nation’s inland waterways and western rivers provide vital services to the Marine Transportation System, and have an 

important role in the movement of commerce by maintaining structures, beacons and buoys in the First, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Thirteenth and 

Seventeenth Coast Guard Districts. In 2014 alone, approximately 600 million tons of cargo, worth an estimated $230B, moved through the Marine 

Transportation System in the inland waterways and western rivers. Mariners and the shipping industry depend on fixed and floating Aids to 

Navigation to safely navigate these waters and prevent accidents that could have significant environmental and/or economic impacts. 

In addition to obvious age concerns and the associated equipment obsolescence issues, the legacy fleet presents other sustainment challenges, 

including hazardous materials as a result of the use of asbestos and lead paint during construction of these over 50 year old assets. Outdated 

technology and vessel designs have led to crew safety concerns, maintenance cost increases, and non-compliance with environmental regulations. 

Finally, the vessels’ configuration does not allow the assignment of mixed gender crews in accordance with the Coast Guard’s workforce goals.

Polar Sustainment N/A Non-Major Procurement Non-IT No - - $15,000

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funding will support Program Management activities for a multi-year Service Life Extension Project (SLEP) for POLAR 

STAR including activities that complement survey and design efforts to begin project planning and development of acquisition documentation. 

Additionally, funds will be used to begin procurement of certain long lead time materials for this effort.

Justification

The Coast Guard’s two heavy polar icebreakers are over 45 years old and well past their designed service life. Currently only one heavy polar 

icebreaker is in active service (POLAR STAR) with the other vessel (POLAR SEA) in an inactive status serving to provide specialty parts to help 

sustain POLAR STAR. To ensure POLAR STAR can continue to meet and support national interests in the Polar Regions and provide assured 

surface presence in those ice-impacted waters, the Coast Guard needs to maintain POLAR STAR’s ability to perform these missions while 

recapitalizing the heavy polar icebreaking fleet. Accordingly, this SLEP is intended to extend POLAR STAR’s service life so that it remains 

operational until at least FY 2025.

PPA Description

The Aircraft PPA provides funding for recapitalization and sustainment of the Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft supported within this program collectively performs all Coast Guard missions in the 

Offshore, Coastal and Inland AORs. The land-based fixed-wing aircraft include the HC-144A, HC-130H/J and HC-27J aircraft. The Coast Guard’s 

fleet of HC-144As and HC-27Js provide medium-range surveillance (MRS) fixed-wing capability. The Coast Guard’s fleet of existing HC-130Hs 

and HC-130Js provide long-range surveillance (LRS) fixed-wing capability. Each of these fixed-wing aircraft enables the Coast Guard to conduct 

airborne surveillance, detection, classification, and identification of vessels and other aircraft. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of rotary-wing aircraft includes the H-60 and H-65 helicopters. The H-60 is a medium-range recovery (MRR) helicopter, 

and the H-65 is a short-range recovery (SRR) helicopter. Both aircraft are deployed from land-based air stations; the H-65 is also deployed routinely 

aboard the Coast Guard’s fleet of NSCs, WHECs, and WMECs. Similarly, the Coast Guard will continue operational evaluation of small Unmanned 

Aircraft Systems (sUAS) onboard the NSC, and award a service contract to fulfill the unmanned air surveillance capability requirements.

HC-144 Conversion/Sustainment N024-000006364 1 Procurement Non-IT Yes $25,500 - $17,000

PPA Level II Description

This PPA and FY 2019 funds will support the HC-144A Conversion/Sustainment by continuing retrofits of the legacy Mission System and associated 

sensors with the Coast Guard variant of U.S. Navy Minotaur mission system which changes their designation to HC-144B. The upgrade will 

improve system performance, address obsolescence issues, and improve cyber security of the mission system. The HC-144 aircraft are stationed at 

Mobile, Alabama; Miami, Florida; Cape Cod, Massachusetts; and Corpus Christi, Texas. 

Justification

The HC-144 Ocean Sentry is a medium-range surveillance (MRS) and transport aircraft providing fixed-wing air capability; complementing the HC27J aircraft and the long-range, heavy-lift four-engine HC-130 aircraft. The two-engine high-efficiency turboprop design allows extended 

surveillance and quick response capability at a relatively low cost per flight hour. The HC-144 is a multi-mission platform that performs search and 

rescue; law enforcement; homeland security; marine environmental protection; as well as assistance with cargo and personnel transport. The aircraft 

can perform aerial delivery of search and rescue equipment, such as rafts, pumps, and flares, and, can be used as an On-Scene Commander platform. 

FY 2017 Key Milestone Events

 Completed Test and Evaluation of the Minotaur mission system processor

SEGMENT 1 developed a closed and complex C4ISR baseline for NSCs, HC-144As, and HC-130Js. Developed through the Integrated Coast Guard 

Systems (ICGS) contractor, this system is proprietary and does not allow the Coast Guard the ability to manage additional development outside of the 

prime contractor, nor does it provide an affordable means for software sustainment. Segment 1 is fully fielded.

SEGMENT 2 (now Sea Commander) began the transition of the proprietary system developed in Segment 1 towards an open architecture owned and 

controlled by the Coast Guard. It separated the Segment 1 design into modular, scalable, functional components with clear interfaces allowing the 

Coast Guard to manage changes and sustain the system separate from the prime contractor. Segment 2 (now Sea Commander) establishes a common 

baseline across the NSC, HC-144A, and HC-130J assets.

Construction Description

This program supports shore facility infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction associated with homeporting new or modified 

cutters, boats, and aircraft. Funding in FY 2019 completes the following facility upgrades and infrastructure improvements:

 Waterfront, shore-side facility, utilities, and associated base infrastructure improvements to support the OPC homeport at San Pedro, CA. 

The homeport will accommodate a total of two OPCs. The funding will support the design and construction of homeport facility additions, 

improvements, and renovations; provides improvements such as electrical and shore-tie upgrades; dredging to accommodate deeper drafts 

where necessary; structural improvements to the piers and wharfs to accommodate larger loads; relocation and/or incorporation of existing 

operational and support functions, both waterfront and shore side, for proximity and constructability, shore side facilities for storage, 

maintenance, and other in-port activities associated with the arrival of the new OPCs. San Pedro is essential to the overall operational force 

lay-down and needs to be modified in order to accommodate the OPCs. FY 2019 funding provides facilities to meet asset delivery schedules 

and threshold facilities requirements based on OPC dimensions, shore-tie requirements, operational needs, crewing status, and maintenance 

schedules.

 Continue funding improvements to support the OPC Homeport at Kodiak, AK. The homeport will accommodate a total of two OPCs. The 

funding will support waterfront improvements to include structural improvements to the piers and wharfs to accommodate larger loads, cleats, 

bollards, fenders, electrical, and shore-tie upgrades needed for the cutter moorings, and relocation and/or incorporation of existing operational 

and support functions. Kodiak is essential to the overall operational force lay-down and needs to be modified in order to accommodate the 

OPCs. FY 2019 funding provides facilities to meet asset delivery schedules and threshold facilities requirements based on OPC dimensions, 

shore-tie requirements, operational needs, crewing status, and maintenance schedules.

 Waterfront, shore-side support facility, and utilities improvements to support homeporting an additional NSC at Charleston, SC. FY 2019 

funding will support the design and construction of shore-side facility improvements and renovations for storage and maintenance functions; 

and provides waterfront improvements such as cleats, bollards, fenders, electrical and shore-tie upgrades needed to moor an additional NSC. 

The location in Charleston is essential to the overall operational force lay-down and needs to be modified in order to accommodate the 

additional NSC. This funding provides facilities to meet asset delivery schedule and threshold facilities requirements based on NSC 

dimensions, shore-tie requirements, operational needs, crewing status, and maintenance schedules.

 Air Station improvements and modifications to support the siting of HC-130Js at Air Station Barbers Point, HI. FY 2019 funding will support 

the design and construction of hangar improvements and modifications, Liquid Oxygen support infrastructure, relocation and/or incorporation 

of existing operational and support functions for proximity and constructability; facilities for aircraft specific parts and supplies; work spaces 

for additional personnel assigned with the aircraft; facilities improvements necessary for safe and efficient maintenance of the aircraft, and 

other activities associated with the arrival for the new HC-130J aircraft. This location is essential to the overall operational force laydown 

and needs to be modified in order to accommodate the HC-130J aircraft. The FY 2019 Budget provides facilities to meet asset delivery 

schedules and threshold facilities requirements based on the HC-130J dimensions, electrical requirements, operational needs, crewing status, 

and maintenance schedules. 

 Provide program support and engineering, environmental, and feasibility studies and analyses for future-year facilities projects covered under 

this acquisition program. FY 2019 funding is necessary to establish a 5-year window of planning documents in order to properly budget for 

force location decisions in association with future asset deliveries; more effectively integrate siting decisions for different classes of cutters 

and aircraft over the long-term planning horizon; and cover any support contracts necessary to maintain the day-to-day functions, oversight, 

support, and management of this appropriation.

Justification

This program supports shore facility infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction associated with homeporting new or modified 

cutters, boats, and aircraft. The program also supports infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction to provide logistics, 

maintenance, and training support for new or modified cutters, boats, and aircraft.

Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Research and Development (R&D) appropriation sustains critical mission capabilities through applied research, 

development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) programs. Several R&D programs include partnerships with the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), the Department of Defense (DOD), and other Federal and private research organizations. 

The R&D program is comprised of the Office of RDT&E at Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. and the Research and Development 

Center (RDC) at New London, Connecticut. The RDC is the Coast Guard’s sole facility performing applied R&D experimentation and 

demonstrations. R&D activities sustain program infrastructure and core capabilities, knowledge, skills, experience, and facilities to give the Coast 

Guard a strong evidence-based foundation for operational and capital investment decision-making. These activities include formulation and 

oversight of cooperative agreements with relevant professionals in the public and private sectors, such as University Affiliated Research Centers 

(UARC) and Federally Funded Research & Development Centers (FFRDC). The cooperative agreements promote collaboration and leverage 

expertise and the development of techniques, methods, hardware, and systems that directly contribute to increasing productivity and effectiveness of 

Coast Guard missions.

The FY 2019 Budget includes necessary resources to develop technologies and systems that improve operational presence and response, as well as 

perform technology assessments to inform the early stages of the acquisition process. Of the funding, $0.5M is derived from the Oil Spill Liability 

Trust Fund as authorized by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC § 2701-2761).

The Coast Guard is transitioning to the DHS Common Appropriations Structure in FY 2019. Accordingly, activities funded through the previous 

RDT&E appropriation are now funded through the new R&D appropriation.

Overview

The Boat Safety program aims to minimize loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of 

recreational boats. The program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention Program by promoting the safe and enjoyable use of public 

U.S. waterways. 

Boat Safety activities include: overseeing manufacturer compliance with Coast Guard regulations; making grants to states and national non-profit 

boating safety organizations; conducting surveys to measure recreational boating activity; continuing the Boat Responsibly national outreach and 

awareness initiative; promulgating safety regulations; and measuring life jacket wear rates, including the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory 

efforts to increase life jacket usage. 

The FY 2019 Budget requests 19 positions, 19 FTE, and $114.7M for Boat Safety. The adjustments-to-base include funding for the annualization of 

the 2018 civilian pay raise and 2019 civilian allowances due to an increase in government contributions for various Federal Employee benefits.

In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety Program Coordinator, the Coast Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee 

funding provided from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to support the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. Under the 

provisions of the Sportfishing and Recreational Boating Safety Act of 2005 (Subtitle A, Title X, P.L. 109-59), the Coast Guard receives a percentage 

distribution of total trust fund receipts from the preceding fiscal year (i.e., FY 2019 funding will be a percentage of FY 2018 trust fund receipts). The 

FY 2019 Budget request includes an adjustment-to-base for trust fund receipts. Funds are available until expended, but are limited in purpose and 

amount in accordance with existing statute.

Overview

The Maritime Oil Spill Program operates under the authority of Title I of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), as amended, which provides for the 

use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) to pay for Federal response to oil spills and claims for uncompensated removal costs and damages 

resulting from such spills. The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Marine Environment Protection mission and 

Maritime Response Program.

In Section seven of Executive Order 12777, the President delegated management responsibility of the OSLTF to the Secretary of the Department in 

which the Coast Guard is operating. Upon re-delegation by the Secretary, the Commandant of the Coast Guard delegated responsibility to the 

National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC), which oversees the OSLTF.

The NPFC:

 Provides funding for Federal removal actions in response to a discharge or a substantial threat of discharge of oil to navigable waters of the 

United States;

 Compensates claimants for OPA removal costs or damages;

 Provides funding to natural resource trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessments (NRDA); and 

 Administers the OSLTF.

The FY 2019 Budget estimates that expenditures from this account will total $101M for the Maritime Oil Spill Program. These estimated 

expenditures consist of a $50M transfer for immediate Federal oil spill response, an estimated $1M payment to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill 

Recovery Institute, and an estimated $50M to compensate claimants for uncompensated OPA removal costs and damages, including natural resource 

damages.
