U. S. Coast Guard 

FY 2012 Strategic Context 

CG-SC-1 

A. Component Overview

Since 1790, the U.S. Coast Guard has safeguarded the Nation’s maritime interests and natural 

resources in our rivers and ports, in the littoral regions, on the high seas, and around the world. 

Our unique authorities, versatile assets, and personnel possessing diverse skill sets enable the 

Coast Guard to respond to all threats and hazards in a manner that provides exceptional value 

and service to the Nation. As demonstrated in the Coast Guard’s responses to the Haiti 

Earthquake and Deepwater Horizon oil spill, there is a high demand for the Coast Guard’s 

capabilities, competencies, and responsiveness across all its missions. Our cutters, aircraft, boats, 

and people are carrying out the Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions in support of the 

Department’s missions and the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR) priorities. The 

Coast Guard provides for and protects...

Those on the sea: leading responses to disasters and threats, ensuring a safe and secure 

maritime transportation system, preventing incidents, and rescuing those in distress. 

The Nation from threats delivered by sea: enforcing laws and treaties, securing our ocean 

resources and ensuring the integrity of our maritime domain from illegal activity. 

The sea itself: regulating hazardous cargo transportation, holding responsible parties 

accountable for environmental damage and cleanup, and protecting living marine and natural 

resources. 

The Coast Guard is the principal federal agency responsible for maritime safety, security, and 

environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and federal inland waterways, along the coasts, and on 

the high seas. The Coast Guard is also one of the five Armed Services of the U.S. and the only 

military organization within the Department of Homeland Security. As such, the Coast Guard 

protects our Nation’s vital economic and security interests throughout the maritime domain, 

including the Marine Transportation System (MTS), our natural and economic resources, and our 

maritime borders. Coast Guard personnel are trained to address all threats and all hazards, in a 

manner consistent with the law and in support of DHS goals and objectives. 

In 2010, the Coast Guard showcased its value as an incident responder and manager by leading 

America’s response to the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion and ensuing oil spill disaster, and 

dispatching the first U.S. assets that provided rescue and relief following the devastating 

earthquake in Haiti. Throughout these surge operations, the Coast Guard continued to serve the 

American people by performing its ‘every day’ missions, including Search and Rescue (SAR), 

enforcing migrant laws, interdicting illegal drugs, protecting living marine resources, and 

ensuring resiliency of the MTS. While 2010 was an exceptional “operational year” by any 

standard, these operations further stressed existing aged and obsolete cutters, boats, aircraft and 

support infrastructure that are in dire need of recapitalization. Furthermore, these extended surge 

operations strained workforce readiness due to increases op-tempo and deferred training. In order 

to sustain critical operational capabilities and resiliency in the maritime domain, our strategic 

priority is to continue to advance the Coast Guard’s recapitalization program and national 

incident leadership while simultaneously providing resources for current operations.

FY 2012 Strategic Context 

CG-SC-2 

Fiscal Year 2012 Budget Priorities

In Fiscal Year 2012, the Coast Guard will focus resources to advance strategic priorities. To this 

end, the Coast Guard’s FY 2012 budget leverages savings generated through management 

efficiencies and offsets and allocate funding toward higher order needs and preserve front-line 

operations. Some offsets and reductions required difficult, albeit necessary trade-offs to 

implement the following FY 2012 budget priorities: 

1. Rebuild the Coast Guard 

2. Sustain Front-line Operations 

3. Enhance Maritime Incident Prevention and Response 

4. Support Military Families 

Rebuild the Coast Guard

In FY 2012, the Coast Guard will continue to focus resources on recapitalizing cutters, boats, 

aircraft, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and 

Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and infrastructure to stem the decline in mission readiness 

associated with the aged, obsolete, and unreliable condition of these assets. These assets are 

foundational to achieving Coast Guard mission objectives. Over the past several years, DHS and 

the Coast Guard have significantly improved acquisition program management through 

disciplined processes, investment in human capital, and careful oversight. These reforms have 

enabled the Coast Guard to assume lead system integrator responsibilities for all acquisition 

programs, a major milestone toward achieving established acquisition cost, schedule, and 

performance objectives. The Coast Guard’s FY 2012 budget requests $1.42 billion to replace and 

sustain Coast Guard ships, aircraft, boats, C4ISR, and shore infrastructure. This level of funding 

is critical to continuing major surface and air asset recapitalization programs. Continued 

investment in Coast Guard recapitalization is the Service’s top budget priority. Specifically, the 

FY 2012 Coast Guard budget provides: 

• $77 million to fully fund National Security Cutter (NSC)-5 (anticipates $615 million 

provided for NSC-5 in 2011). The NSC is replacing the High Endurance Cutter class. 

• $358 million for production of six Fast Response Cutters (FRC). In FY 2012 the Coast 

Guard will expedite recapitalization of the 110-ft patrol boat fleet by procuring two more 

hulls than the quantity purchased in previous fiscal years. 

• $130 million for production of two HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) and 

procurement of up to five Mission System Pallets and associated spare parts to complete 

outfitting of the fleet. 

• $110 million to procure 40 Response Boats-Medium (RB-M), continuing recapitalization 

of the utility boat fleet on schedule and at maximum production rates. 

• $25 million for pre-acquisition activities for the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), including 

execution of preliminary and contract design. This funding is essential to recapitalize the 

entire WMEC fleet, including the 210-ft class of cutters, which are approaching 50 years 

in age. 

• $95 million for shore-side facilities necessary to support operation of new assets acquired 

through major acquisition programs, including NSCs, MPAs, FRCs, and RB-Ms. 
Department of Homeland Security 

U. S. Coast Guard 

FY 2012 Strategic Context 

CG-SC-3 

• $209 million for service life extension and sustainment projects for aging, obsolete, and 

unreliable surface and aviation assets. 

• $93 million to recapitalize deteriorated/obsolete shore facilities and address the highest 

priority Shore Facility Requirements List (SFRL) backlog items. The health and 

maintenance of the Coast Guard’s shore facilities are a foundational requirement for the 

safe and effective execution of Coast Guard missions. 

• The FY 2012 budget also includes additional resources to support the Acquisition 

Workforce Initiative, a government-wide initiative intended to bolster the professional 

development and capacity of the acquisition workforce. 

Sustain Front-line Operations

To ensure the Coast Guard is able to meet the safety and security demands of the Nation in the 

maritime domain, the FY 2012 budget invests in sustaining operational capacity. Specifically, 

the FY 2012 Coast Guard budget provides: 

• $66 million to fund increases to pay and benefits for active duty military, including pay, 

allowances (e.g., housing), health care, and permanent change of station expenses 

necessary to sustain the existing workforce. 

• $68 million to operate cutters, boats, aircraft, and associated subsystems delivered 

through major systems acquisition efforts. Funding is included for the operation and 

maintenance of the following assets: National Security Cutter, Fast Response Cutter, 

Maritime Patrol Aircraft, C4ISR systems, Response Boat-Medium, Interagency 

Operations Centers, Rescue 21, Nationwide Automatic Identification System, Manned 

Covert Surveillance Aircraft, and shore facilities. 

• $8.6 million to fund the Coast Guard’s transition from commercially provided Internet 

Access Points (IAPs) to DoD IAPs via the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) 

to ensure security of vital networks. 

• $6.3 million to replace the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) 

system with the Distress Alerting Satellite System (DASS). Recapitalization of the 

SARSAT system in FY 2012 is critical to ensure no loss of coverage in distress 

notification and life saving response during the planned deactivation of the legacy 

SARSAT system. 

• $39 million to support the operation and maintenance of CGC HEALY and support the 

reactivation of CGC POLAR STAR in 2013. The Coast Guard plans to decommission 

CGC POLAR SEA in FY 2011 and transition her crew to CGC POLAR STAR. This 

transition will help Coast Guard sustain a trained crew and make the ship ready for 

operations as quickly as possible. 

Enhance Maritime Incident Prevention and Response

Coast Guard Marine Safety and Environmental Response activities provide value to the Nation 

by establishing a regime for safe and efficient travel, the secure flow of commerce in the 

maritime domain, and protection of our natural resources. When regional or national maritime 

emergencies occur, Coast Guard incident responders rapidly establish and execute the Incident 

Command System (ICS) to lead an effective, unified effort. The Coast Guard will enhance these 

core competencies in FY 2012 to keep pace with an ever-growing and evolving maritime 
Department of Homeland Security 

U. S. Coast Guard 

FY 2012 Strategic Context 

CG-SC-4 

industry and ensure continued proactive leadership to prevent disasters on the Nation’s waters, 

and remain ready to respond to them when they occur. Specifically, the FY 2012 Coast Guard 

budget provides: 

• $22 million to enhance its Marine Safety and Marine Environmental Response mission 

performance, capacity, capability, and competencies by adding 192 personnel, including 

inspectors, investigators, and National Strike Force and incident management personnel. 

This investment will enable the Coast Guard to address existing capacity and competency 

gaps in order to continue to perform its essential Federal oversight responsibilities, while 

enhancing CG/DHS prevention and response capabilities and leadership in the maritime 

environment. 

Support Military Families

DHS and the Coast Guard are committed to improving the quality of life for military families. 

The health and welfare of our families is the heart of our military members’ readiness to perform 

our missions. The FY 2012 budget focuses resources to address critical housing shortfalls and 

improve access to affordable, quality childcare. These initiatives will ensure our military 

members are Semper Paratus for all hazards and all threats. Specifically, the FY 2012 Coast 

Guard budget provides:

• $20.0 million to build 15 family housing units to address critical housing shortfalls at 

Sector Columbia River and renovate the Air Station Cape Cod Unaccompanied 

Personnel Housing to address life safety and habitability issues. These projects are the 

Coast Guard’s highest priority housing needs and are critical to the well-being of military 

personnel and their families assigned to these geographic regions. 

• $9.3 million to increase access to child care services for Coast Guard families with 

dependents under the age of 12, better aligning the Coast Guard with the Department of 

Defense (DoD) child care standards. Additionally, this request funds 12 new civilian 

positions to provide personnel accreditation for the Coast Guard’s nine child 

development centers by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. 

Coast Guard Programs

The Coast Guard delivers value to the Nation through the execution of its 11 statutory missions. 

Performance of these missions ensures the maritime domain is safe and secure, and that care is 

taken to protect the marine environment. The role of the Coast Guard in the maritime domain is 

enduring while at the same time never being more relevant or more in demand – with longstanding responsibilities accrued over more than two centuries of service. As part of the recent 

Bottom-Up Review (BUR), the Coast Guard, in conjunction with DHS, baselined its mission 

execution and support activities. As part of this process, the Coast Guard identified six logical 

groupings of like activities within the 11 statutory missions. The groupings formed the basis of 

the Coast Guard’s new structure within the overall construct of DHS programs. These six 

programs, implemented through execution of the Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions, are 

critical to achieving specific QHSR goals and objectives and advancing National priorities that 

together define the six DHS missions. The initiatives in the Coast Guard’s FY 2012 budget are 

crucial to the effective achievement of these DHS mission priorities. The below table provides a 

listing of the six programs and their relationship to the Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions.

Coast Guard Programs Defined 

The following provides detailed descriptions of the DHS Programs led by Coast Guard and how 

execution of the Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions supports implementation of these 

programs:

1. Maritime Security Operations

The Maritime Security Operations program encompasses activities conducted to detect, deter, 

prevent, and disrupt terrorist attacks, and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. It includes 

the execution of antiterrorism, response and recovery operations, and related preparedness 

activities such as the establishment and oversight of a maritime security regime and maritime 

domain awareness. Through this program, the Coast Guard complies with and leverages the 

Maritime Operational Threat Response (MOTR) Plan, which ensures coordinated U.S. 

government response to threats against the United States, its Marine Transportation System 

(MTS), and its interests in the maritime domain, by establishing roles and responsibilities, which 

enable the government to respond quickly and decisively. This program links to the National 

Infrastructure Protection Plans which identify critical infrastructure elements, key resources, and

systems. The Coast Guard is designated the Sector Specific Agency for Maritime Transportation 

Systems in the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). Through Maritime Security 

Operations, the Coast Guard mitigates the overall risk to Critical Infrastructure Key Resources. 

In the context of the NIPP, this includes actions to deter the threat, mitigate vulnerabilities, or 

minimize the consequences associated with a terrorist attack or other incident. The following 

statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Security Operations program: 

• Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security (PWCS)

2. Maritime Law Enforcement

The Maritime Law Enforcement program preserves America’s jurisdictional rights within our 

maritime borders and suppresses violations of U.S. federal law on, under and over the high seas.

The Coast Guard is the lead federal maritime law enforcement agency and the only agency with 

both the authority and capability to enforce national and international law on the high seas, outer 

continental shelf, and inward from the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to inland waters. 

The following statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Law Enforcement 

program:

• Drug Interdiction 

• Migrant Interdiction 

• Living Marine Resources 

• Other Law Enforcement 

3. Maritime Prevention

The Maritime Prevention program prevents personnel casualties and property losses, minimizes 

security risks, and protects the marine environment. The Coast Guard develops and enforces 

federal marine safety, security, and environmental regulations. It reviews vessel and maritime 

facility security plans, conducts security inspections, and enforces Transportation Worker 

Identification Credential regulations. The Coast Guard conducts compulsory, as well as 

voluntary vessel safety exams and inspections; certifies and licenses U.S. mariners; and promotes 

best practices by investigating marine casualties and sharing its findings. It provides grants to 

States to improve recreational boating safety, and supports a variety of government and nongovernment boating safety efforts in partnership with other federal agencies, state and local 

governments, marine industries and associations. The following statutory missions contribute to 

the Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention program:

• Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security (PWCS) 

• Marine Safety 

• Marine Environmental Protection 

4. 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 for 

all threats and all hazards ensures incident response and recovery resources are fully ready and

capable of scalable mobilization in coordination with and support of local, state, Federal, 

international and private sector partners 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 

• Marine Environmental Protection 

5. Defense Operations

As one of the Nation’s five Armed Services, the Coast Guard, via its Defense Operations 

program, provides unique authorities and capabilities to support the National Military Strategy. 

Specific objectives include defending the homeland, promoting international security, deterring 

conflict, and winning our Nation’s wars. The Coast Guard has the authorities, capabilities and 

capacity to carry out homeland security and defense operations whether under Coast Guard 

control or under the control of a Department of Defense (DoD) Geographic Combatant 

Commander. The Coast Guard provides trained, equipped, and mission-matched force packages 

in support of Combatant Commanders’ initiatives as outlined in the 2008 DoD-DHS 

Memorandum of Agreement. The eight mission elements that comprise the Coast Guard’s 

Defense Operations portfolio are: Maritime Interdiction Operations; Combating Maritime 

Terrorism; Port Operations Security and Defense (to include maintaining a Title 10 Reserve 

force and providing Aids to Navigation support for battle-space preparation); Military 

Environmental Response Operations; Coastal Sea Control Operations (including providing DoD 

the only assured surface access in ice-covered and ice-diminished waters); MOTR; Rotary Wing 

Air Intercept Operations; and Support for Theater Security Cooperation Initiatives. The Coast 

Guard maintains a level of readiness and training that allows for the immediate integration with 

DoD forces for peacetime operations or during times of war. This supports U.S. national interests 

abroad, as well as facilitating DoD support to DHS for the integration of Homeland Defense and 

Homeland Security. The following statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Defense 

Operations program: 

• Defense Readiness

6. Marine Transportation System Management

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

environmentally sound waterways system. The 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 

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 and 

champion development of the Nation’s marine transportation system. The following statutory 

missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Marine Transportation System Management program:

• Aids to Navigation 

• Ice Operations

B. Component Contributions to Achieving DHS Missions

The unique authorities and specialized competencies of Coast Guard personnel coupled with 

capable air and surface assets in the maritime domain contribute to multiple DHS missions. The 

Coast Guard routinely ensures safety and stewardship of the maritime domain and at the same 

time stands prepared to surge during significant natural and manmade disasters and terrorist 

attacks. Coast Guard presence on the high seas, in the ports and on the waterways provides 

critical cognizance in the maritime domain and is a deterrent to terrorist and other illicit activity. 

The Coast Guard and DHS continue to explore the specific connections between Coast Guard 

activities, economic, homeland and national security outcomes. Measures of Coast Guard 

performance as related to each DHS mission are shown in this section.

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

Description of Measure: 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. The percent of lives saved is the best outcome 

measure for search and rescue because it includes lives lost before and after the U.S. Coast Guard is 

notified and persons missing, thus encouraging investment in supporting awareness and communication 

systems and safe boater programs that increase the possibility that a search and rescue mission will end 

with lives saved.

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.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Requests funding for expenses related to compensation and benefits for active duty military 

personnel. This category includes pay, allowances, employer’s share of the Federal Insurance 

Contribution Act (FICA), Social Security credits, child care benefits for Coast Guard families, 

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 billet, broken down 

by rank/rate, location – in the United States (INCONUS) or out of the country (OCONUS – which 

includes AK and HI), medical costs and permanent change of station (PCS) expenses. 

Calculations for medical cost estimates are the same for each billet. Calculations for PCS moves 

and base pay are based upon rank and location of billet. Pay estimates account for OMB 

published pay inflation factors for the fiscal year in question. 

Coast Guard’s significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Led the Federal response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the first-ever Spill of 

National Significance and the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. Worked 

across the whole of government and industry to contain the spill, recovered more than 

34.7 million gallons of oil-water mix, and performed controlled burns removing more 

than 11 million gallons of oil from open water to protect the shoreline and wildlife. The 

Coast Guard implemented the first-ever National Incident Command for a real world 

event, providing Federal oversight and direction for over 48,000 response personnel and 

4,340 response vessels. The Coast Guard deployed 46 cutters, 22 aircraft (flying 1,749

numbers are monthly end strengths averaged over the year. 
sorties totaling 3,874 hours) and 7,000 people in support of this unprecedented response 

operation. 

• Responded to the Haitian earthquake disaster. Provided humanitarian relief, medical aid, 

and restoration of the Marine Transportation System. Coast Guard Air Station 

Clearwater MH-60s were the first military aircraft to arrive on-scene and USCGC OAK 

became the first military vessel to moor to Haiti following the devastating 7.0 magnitude 

earthquake. The MH-60s evacuated injured U.S. personnel and OAK delivered medical 

supplies, clean drinking water, and a medical response team to assist with triage at the 

Haitian Coast Guard base. OAK also established new buoys to facilitate relief ships and 

barges carrying tons of humanitarian aid supplies. 

• Responded to over 22,000 Search and Rescue cases and saved over 4,300 lives. 

• Removed a total of 202,439 pounds of cocaine, and 36,739 pounds of marijuana destined 

for the United States; seized 56 vessels, and detained 229 suspected smugglers. 

• Provided for the orderly shutdown of 24 Long Range Aids to Navigation (LORAN) 

stations. In addition, coordinated termination of international agreements with the 

Russian and Canadian Governments to facilitate coordinated signal termination of 

respective chains in August 2010. 

Coast Guard’s planned accomplishments in FY 2011 include: 

• Continue response efforts for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

• Support OCO. 

• Increase capacity of LEDET Teams. 

• Continue to conduct mission execution and support activities to best leverage resources to 

meet mission demand and Coast Guard/DHS mission objectives. 

In FY 2012 active duty military personnel will ensure the service remains agile, adaptable, and 

ready to serve the Nation’s domestic and international maritime interests across a range of 

dynamic operational environments. The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, 

maritime service and continues to be ready, aware, and responsive across all of the Coast 

Guard’s statutory missions. 

Dedicated Coast Guard personnel, as members of one of the Nation’s five Armed Services, 

conduct the missions that protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic interests – in the 

Nation’s ports and waterways, along the coast, on international waters and in any maritime region 

required to support Homeland Security. The unique, multi-mission character of the Coast Guard 

requires personnel to serve as emergency responders, humanitarians, regulators, law enforcement 

personnel, stewards of the environment, and guardians of the coast. Coast Guard forces are 

flexible, rapidly deployable, and able to respond to crises with a full range of authorities and 

capabilities. Coast Guard forces capitalize upon their adaptable nature and multi-mission, 

versatile assets to prevent maritime incidents, protect the U.S. Maritime Domain, and assist in 

response and recovery from threats and hazards – both natural and manmade. 

Funding requested will support the anticipated FY 2012 pay raise for all military service members 

(pay inflation rate is estimated at 1.6 percent) and the net basic allowance for housing increase for 

military service members, while annualizing the military average monthly end strength introduced 

in FY 2011. 
Additionally, the funding will support military personnel to: 

 Operate and maintain IOC –WatchKeeper. 

 Operate and maintain NAIS. 

 Support and operate the third NSC. 

 Support and operate FRCs. 

 Support and operate MPAs. 

 Provide training for newly acquired assets (FRC and NSC). 

 Enhance Marine Safety and Environmental Response. 

 Support three National Strike Teams. 

 Support the Polar Icebreaking Program.

The Coast Guard requests $780.6 million for this activity. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Requests funding for expenses related to compensation and entitlements for Federal civilian 

employees. The workforce is composed of General Schedule (GS) personnel, Administrative 

Law Judges (AL), 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 aids, summer interns, and Federal junior fellows). 

Costs related to compensation are calculated using the Coast Guard’s SPC tables. These annually 

updated tables provide a detailed calculation for each billet, broken down by pay grade and 

location –INCONUS or OCONUS – which includes AK and HI. Calculations for base pay are 

based upon position, location of position, and OMB economic assumptions for the fiscal year in 

question. 

Coast Guard’s significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Led the Federal response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill with over 200 Coast Guard 

civilian personnel deployed to the incident, the first ever Spill of National Significance 

and the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. Worked across the whole of 

government and industry to contain the spill, recovered more than 34.7 million gallons of 

oil-water mix, and performed controlled burns removing more than 11 million gallons of 

oil from open water to protect the shoreline and wildlife. The Coast Guard implemented 

the first-ever National Incident Command for a real world event, providing Federal 

oversight and direction for over 48,000 response personnel and 4,340 response vessels. 

The Coast Guard deployed 46 cutters, 22 aircraft (flying 1,749 sorties totaling 3,874 

hours) and 7,000 people in support of this unprecedented response operation. 

• Responded to over 22,000 Search and Rescue cases and saved over 4,300 lives utilizing 

over 140 civilian Command Center watchstanders throughout the Coast Guard. 

• The National Maritime Center issued 53,288 consolidated Merchant Mariner Credentials 

(MMCs) to qualified Mariners. These MMCs reflect 94,000 Professional Qualifications 

Evaluations, 24,000 proctored Professional Examinations, 55,000 Medical Evaluations, 

and over 248,000 direct contacts with Merchant Mariners during the credentialing 

process. 

• Conducted over 450 contingency exercises in conjunction with Federal, State, and local 

partners, as well as the private sector. These contingency exercises test plans, policies, 
and procedures that enhance our nation’s ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from 

a myriad of manmade and natural disasters. 

• The Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) program managed nearly 1.4 million 

commercial vessel transits in 12 of the Nation’s high traffic ports employing over 160 

Coast Guard civilian watchstanders. 

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. 

Coast Guard’s planned accomplishments in FY 2011 include: 

• Continue response efforts for the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in support of QHSR 

Mission 5. 

• Continue to safely manage commercial vessel transits in 12 of the Nation’s most 

congested ports. 

• Continue to ensure the accreditation of qualified merchant mariners. 

• Continue to conduct mission execution and support activities to best leverage resources to 

meet mission demand and Coast Guard/DHS mission objectives. 

In FY 2012, requested funding will increase the number of dedicated civilian personnel who 

contribute daily to the Coast Guard’s statutory missions. As demonstrated during the response to 

the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, civilian personnel stand side-by-side with military personnel to 

fulfill the roles of maritime first responders and help maintain mission effectiveness, prepare for 

emergencies and contingencies, and ensure Maritime Domain Awareness. These dedicated 

people support and conduct the missions that protect the public, the environment, and U.S. 

economic interests – in the Nation’s ports and waterways, along the coast, on international 

waters, and in any maritime region as required to support national security. Through proposed 

FY 2012 enhancements to the Marine Safety program, civilian personnel will conduct marine 

inspection and investigations and ensure the safety of the commercial fishing vessel fleet. 

Funding requested will also support the annualization of civilian FTE introduced in FY 2011.

The FY 2012 request provides funding for all Coast Guard recruiting operations, given projected 

attrition and growth, to ensure sufficient numbers of qualified individuals are accessed to sustain 

the military workforce. Coast Guard recruiting is a national endeavor. As such, recruiters cover 

broad geographic areas with diverse socio-economic demographics to compete for the best 

qualified candidates. 
Additionally, this request includes funding for tuition, travel, and per diem for formal training and 

education performed as temporary additional duty (TAD) by military service members and 

civilian personnel. It also ensures the training infrastructure is adequately resourced to provide 

Coast Guard personnel with the tools and competencies necessary for assigned missions. 

Specifically, this request funds additional instructors for Marine Safety training. Training is 

provided by the Coast Guard, commercial providers, DoD, and other agencies. This training and 

education is usually conducted by dedicated resident staffs in classrooms, but may also include 

exportable training, correspondence courses, and/or computer-based training. 

From entry-level personnel through senior leadership, the Coast Guard focuses its training 

resources to engrain those competencies that will maximize operational capabilities. The FY 

2012 budget provides funding for increased training requirements related to new platforms, such 

as the NSC, the FRC and MPA.

to suppress illegal fishing by foreign vessels. Coast Guard assets detected 82 EEZ 

incursions and interdicted 12 vessels. 

• Conducted 34 boardings of foreign vessels to suppress Illegal, Unregulated, and 

Unreported (IUU) fishing on the high seas and in the EEZs of partner nations. 

• Encountered 149 domestic significant fishery violations during boardings of over 5,361 

U.S. vessels. 

• Responded to over 50 reports or requests from partner agencies to assist with stranded or 

entangled marine protected resources. 

• Interdicted over 2,088 illegal migrants. Of those, 553 Haitian migrants were interdicted 

and repatriated in three events over a two week period between July and August. 

• Established a 24/7 security presence on the maritime border during the 2010 Olympics in 

partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Utilizing a Memorandum 

of Understanding between the United States and Canada for Integrated Maritime CrossBorder Law Enforcement Operations, joint Coast Guard and RCMP vessels boarded 184 

boats, conducted detailed screenings of 105 additional boats, and queried 532 people.

The Coast Guard requests $917.1 million for this activity. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This request provides service-wide funding for the Coast Guard’s depot level operating expense 

funded maintenance for the service’s shore facilities, vessels, and aircraft. The Coast Guard 

maintains its aircraft, vessels, and shore infrastructure using in-house maintenance and repair 

infrastructure in conjunction with contracted depot level maintenance activities. A mature project 

planning and execution program exists within the Coast Guard to provide routine unit-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. 

The Coast Guard’s maintenance planning process involves every level of the organization 

including: (1) field level input provided in casualty, mishap, and annual unit engineering reports; 

(2) engineering/support provider input in the form of regional maintenance data/trend analysis, 

observations of experienced support/engineering personnel, and prioritization of issues/needs; and 

(3) Coast Guard Headquarters involvement in the collation of CG-wide data/trend analysis, input 

from the Atlantic and Pacific Area Commanders and their support providers, and development of 

corrective strategies. 

Coast Guard’s significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Program Depot Maintenance for: HC-130H (5); HC-130J (2); HH-60J/MH-60T (7); HH65C (19); HU-25 (3); and HC-144A (1). 

• Completed dry-docks to perform depot level maintenance and repairs on the following 

vessels: WYTL 65 (6); WPB 87 (21); WPB 110 (18); WLR/WLIC (10); WTGB 140 (3); 

WLM 175 (5); WLB 225 (8); WMEC 210/270 (8); and WHEC 378 (4). 

• Performed Depot Electronics Systems Maintenance on cutters (133), small boats (81), 

land based communications equipment (218), Differential Global Positioning System 

(DGPS) equipment (471), shore based radar equipment (373), Short-Range Aids to 

Navigation equipment (172). 

• Leveraged a one-time $35.0 million budget initiative to substantially restore aviation 

spare part inventories and reduce the deferred maintenance balance to achieve the Coast 

Guard’s aircraft availability rate standard of 71 percent. 
Coast Guard’s planned accomplishments in FY 2011 include: 

• Program Depot Level maintenance for: HC-130H (8); HC-130J (3); MH-60J/MH-60T 

(8); HH-65C (22); HU-25 (3) and HC-144A (1). 

• Planned 2011 dry-docks: WYTL 65 (3); WPB 87 (24); WPB 110 (19); WLR/WLIC (8); 

WTGB 140 (1); WLM 175 (3); WLB 225 (3); WMEC 210/270 (6); and, WHEC 378 (2). 

• Continue recapitalization of Defense Message Service (DMS) servers and associated 

infrastructure components; perform communications systems maintenance of Large 

Cutter Connectivity (Ku-Band) onboard WHEC-378s and WMEC-270s; and perform 

maintenance and repair of all Coast Guard owned shore, cutter, and boat standard 

electronic navigation, command and control (C2) and communications systems. 

• Continue to focus efforts towards reducing the shore facility deferred maintenance 

backlog to reduce failures and avoid future recapitalization costs. 

The FY 2012 request includes a $28.7 million increase to continue depot level maintenance to 

support the Coast Guard’s cutters; aircraft; Command, Control, Communications, Computers and 

Information Technology (C4IT) systems; and shore infrastructure: 

Aircraft. Includes service-wide funding to support the depot level maintenance and repair of 

Coast Guard aircraft. This category includes: materials, services, and supplies necessary for 

depot level repair, maintenance, modification, and overhaul of aircraft and aircraft equipment, 

including associated avionics; transportation of aircraft and aeronautical materials and equipment; 

and procurement and overhaul of aircraft ground handling and support equipment. The request 

also includes funding for general expenses related to spare parts inventory and engineering 

design, alteration and modification services in support of Coast Guard aircraft. 

This funding request also supports depot level aircraft repair. Coast Guard aircraft are 

continuously rotated out of operational service to allow for programmed depot maintenance 

(PDM) at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City, NC. All PDM is based upon 

established service standards. The purpose of the aircraft PDM program is to (1) provide periodic 

inspection of areas of an aircraft which are not accessible without extensive disassembly, (2) 

perform heavy maintenance which is beyond the capability of operating units, and (3) incorporate 

configuration changes and modifications which are too extensive to perform at the operating unit 

level. 

Vessels. Includes service-wide funding to support the depot level maintenance and repair of 

Coast Guard vessels. In particular, funding requested will support the procurement, installation, 

replacement and support of standard hull, mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems. The 

request also includes funding for general expenses related to inventory and engineering design, as 

well as alteration and modification services in support of Coast Guard vessels. 

Coast Guard vessels are regularly scheduled for PDM based upon established class maintenance 

plans (CMP). In addition to ship repair work provided by the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, 

MD, the Coast Guard routinely uses ship repair facilities/contractors to complete depot level 

maintenance via competitive contracts. The Coast Guard manages vessel depot level maintenance 

funding using Standard Support Levels (SSLs) established for each vessel class of asset at the 

time of asset acquisition and adjusts annually for inflation when inflationary costs are funded. 

Actual expenditures vary from the SSL as the Coast Guard’s maintenance managers allocate 
resources to address the most immediate fleet maintenance challenges. Each year the fleet ages, 

this becomes a greater challenge. 

Shore Infrastructure. Includes service-wide funding for depot level facility maintenance to 

ensure the safety and integrity of the shore infrastructure, maximize facility economic life, and 

address facility degradation issues as early as possible to prevent large recapitalization expenses. 

This request includes funding for depot level maintenance repairs, rebuilding, renovation, 

alterations, and related minor improvements, as well as other services provided by the Coast 

Guard’s Civil Engineering program. This category includes support of: Coast Guard-owned 

land, buildings (e.g., replacement of roofs and mechanical systems), and structures (e.g., repairs 

to waterfront, communications and navigation system towers, roads and runways). It also 

includes support for fixed ATON structures (ashore and offshore) and major non-consumable 

equipment used to support the Coast Guard’s shore plant (e.g., emergency generators, fuel 

systems, and pressure vessels). Funding also supports depot level maintenance on the Coast 

Guard’s Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (i.e., barracks), family housing, clinics, and 

morale/well-being and recreational facilities. 

Electronics. Includes funding for depot level maintenance and support of all Coast Guard 

owned standard electronic systems. This request includes funding required for the procurement, 

replacement, installation, major maintenance, and casualty response for standard electronic 

navigation, command and control (C2), and communications systems. This category also 

includes support for the Coast Guard’s Command, Control, and Communications Engineering 

Center (C3CEN) and Telecommunication and Information Systems Command (TISCOM), 

through the Electronic Support Units and Field Support Divisions to affect system repairs and 

install upgraded electronics systems on all classes of Coast Guard vessels and boats, and shore 

facilities including Sectors and Vessel Traffic Services.

Provides funding for critical depot level maintenance and asset sustainment for vessels, aircraft, and 

infrastructure in support of all Coast Guard programs. Increasing equipment failures and rising 

maintenance costs have outpaced current funding levels for depot level maintenance. Insufficient 

maintenance funding leads to increased deferred maintenance, emergency repairs to operational units, 

parts shortages, and lost operational capacity. Coast Guard assets and supporting infrastructure are 

critical to the performance of the Coast Guard’s statutory missions and provide the surge capacity that 

the Nation expects during disasters. When asset availability is reduced, Coast Guard mission 

performance and National resilience is degraded. In order to fully leverage existing Coast Guard 

capability and ensure readiness to respond to all threats and hazards, funding is requested for the 

following initiatives: 

Aviation Spare Parts: $12.0 million in FY 2012 will build on the one-time $35.0 million FY 2010 

aviation sustainment funding increase to continue aircraft asset sustainment through the process of 

restoring the aviation spare parts to a level needed to meet operational requirements. Current funding 

levels do not sustain an adequate spare parts inventory. If sufficient parts are not available, aircraft will 

be grounded and aircraft availability will fall below the required 71 percent, negatively impacting 

operational readiness. Degraded availability impacts mission execution standards, including the ability 

to meet “ready to launch within 30 minutes” Search and Rescue standards at Coast Guard Air Stations. 
Vessel Sustainment: $11.7 million in FY 2012 will support the critical depot level maintenance and 

support of standard hull, mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems on the 140-ft Ice Breaking Tugs, 

175-ft Coastal Buoy Tenders, and 225-ft Seagoing Buoy Tenders – multi-mission assets critical to the 

performance of routinely assigned maritime mobility missions and essential for surge capacity as 

demonstrated in the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. Currently, the Standard Support 

Levels (SSL) are insufficient to meet the growing maintenance demand for these cutters reaching the 

middle or end of their designed service life. Additional SSL funding is required to maintain these assets 

until a Service Life Extension Project (SLEP) can be completed. 

Shore Facilities: $5.0 million in FY 2012 will enable depot level repair of aging shore infrastructure to 

ensure safe and effective mission execution, quality of life for Coast Guard personnel, and reduce the 

risk of service failures and higher long-term costs. The request represents a starting point to address this 

critical gap that has resulted in a depot level shore maintenance backlog now exceeding $600.0 million.

Provides funding for increases in user fee rates for Defense Information Services Agency (DISA) and 

National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) service fees. DISA charges the 

Coast Guard a mandatory service fee for the delivery of Defense Information System Network (DISN) 

services (JWICS, SIPRNET, NIPRNET). The estimated increase for the DISA service fee for FY 2012 

is $642,000. In addition, the Coast Guard currently uses over 17,000 radio frequencies and is required 

to pay NTIA to retain the use of these bandwidths. The estimated increase for the NTIA service fee for 

FY 2012 is $231,000. 

Additionally, this initiative provides funding for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to conduct 

suitability and national security investigations for Coast Guard personnel to comply with Executive 

Order 10450, “Security Requirements for Government Employment,” and the Intelligence Reform and 

Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA). These programs require the Coast Guard to maintain an effective 

personnel security program to ensure that the employment of all Coast Guard personnel is consistent 

with the interest of national security mandates and that each individual is subject to an investigation 

according to the nature of their assigned position. OPM charges a service fee for the suitability and 

national security investigations. The estimated increase for the OPM service fee for FY 2012 is $3.8 

million.

Surface and air assets provide the Coast Guard with the foundational capability necessary to perform its 

missions. Funding is requested to operate and maintain new assets that will transition from the 

acquisition program to operations in FY 2012 or to prepare crews in advance of that transition. 

FRC O&M for 6 through 8 (Key West): Provides O&M for FRC hulls six through eight scheduled 

for delivery in 2012 and homeported in Miami, FL (#6) and Key West, FL (#7-8). The FRC is larger 

and more capable than the 110-ft patrol boat with advanced electronics and enhanced capabilities. This 

platform sustains the Coast Guard’s high speed, coastal capability for prosecuting immigration laws, 

enforcing boarder security, preventing terrorism, and ensuring resiliency to disasters. The FRC will also 

provide improved interoperability, C4ISR, common operating picture, and sensors to enhance 

surveillance and identification. 

FRC Crews 9 and 10 (Key West): Provides personnel to operate and maintain the ninth and tenth 

FRCs scheduled for delivery in early 2013. Advance arrival of the crew is critical to ensure appropriate 

training and crew readiness prior to delivery. 
FRC Follow-on Support: Provides personnel for shore-side support of the FRCs to be homeported in 

the first two homeports (Miami and Key West) for FRC shore-side personnel in FY 2011. These billets 

will fully staff the required Maintenance Augmentation Team (MAT) support for Miami and provide 

initial staffing to establish MAT Key West. In addition, FRC support personnel are provided for the 

Asset Program Office (APO), Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), and training teams to support 

and maintain crew proficiency and safety. 

NSC Crew Rotational Concept (Alameda): Provides the required resources to support the Crew 

Rotational Concept (CRC) on Coast Guard Cutters BERTHOLF, WAESCHE, and STRATTON. These 

cutters will transition from the standard crewing paradigm to CRC. Funding provides personnel to 

support NSC CRC oversight by establishing Squadron Alameda consisting of squadron staff and MAT 

augmentation. 

NSC Crew: Provides personnel and funding for the third phase of the crew designated to accept and 

operate the third NSC, USCGC STRATTON. 

NSC Signals Intelligence Capability: Provides personnel and follow-on funding to operate, staff, and 

maintain equipment in the Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities (SCIF) onboard the first 

three NSCs. The installed SCIFs and trained personnel will greatly improve MDA by enhancing a 

cutter’s ability to locate, identify, and target specific security threats and vessels.

The Coast Guard’s FY 2011 Multi-Sector Workforce Rebalancing Initiative (MWRI), formally known 

as the DHS Balance Workforce Strategy in the FY 2011 President’s Request, originally estimated 300 

full-time positions (185 civilian and 115 military) for conversion to government performance. This 

initiative yielded $14.5 million in savings in the FY 2011 President’s Request. Extensive analysis was 

completed identifying contracts ideally suited for conversion to government performance based on a 

potential to achieve greater workforce balance and cost efficiencies. The resulting review recommended 

adjusting the original insourcing estimates by increasing the number of civilian conversions from 185 to 

286 and decreasing the military conversions from 115 to 29 for a total of 315 positions. This review 

ensured the Coast Guard has the proper mix of Federal and contractor workforce, and achieved the 

targeted savings outlined in the FY 2011 President’s Request. The FY 2012 MWRI technical 

adjustment accounts for the military to civilian conversions, the additional 15 positions insourced, and 

technical base adjustments to reallocate funding for professional service contracts to the appropriate 

PPA.

In order to establish a high performing workforce comprised of a strong internal core of Federal 

employees supported by the expertise of private contractors, the Department created the DHS Balanced 

Workforce Strategy. The Coast Guard is committed to establishing the appropriate mix of in-house and 

contract skills, experience and other resources necessary to balance the total DHS workforce. The Coast 

Guard proposes insourcing a professional service contract to government service using four new full 

time positions. This initiative will save approximately $484,000 in operating expenses.

In FY 2012 the Coast Guard will make difficult, albeit necessary trade-offs to sustain front-line 

operational capacity and invest in critical recapitalization initiatives. To fund higher order needs the 

Coast Guard will seek efficiencies and make targeted reductions in administrative functions. These 

decisions are necessary in the current fiscal environment but do not come without impact to readiness 

and operations. FY 2012 Administrative Savings initiatives include: 

DHS Efficiency Review: Consistent with the Secretary of Homeland Security’s Efficiency Review, and 

building upon efforts in previous fiscal years, the Coast Guard will endeavor to produce administrative 

savings by leveraging centralized purchasing and software licensing agreements, reductions in printing 

and publications, reductions in shipping and the transportation of goods, reductions in advisory and 

assistance contracts, and minimizing purchases of supplies and materials. Office equipment 

consolidation, implementing automation and energy conservation/savings measures, and limiting nongovernment facility usage will also improve efficiency and eliminate waste. 

Non-Operational Travel Reduction: In FY 2012, the Coast Guard will reduce non-operational travel by 

more than 25 percent across all programs. The Coast Guard will maximize technology and training 
tools, such as teleconferencing and webinars to reduce travel related to professional development, 

planning conferences, and international engagement. 

Professional Service Contracts: The Coast Guard will reduce professional services contracts for 

enterprise-wide mission support and operational support activities. Examples of contracts targeted for 

reduction include: program management, engineering and technical services, financial audit support, 

doctrine and publication development, studies, software development, and other professional contracts. 

While these efficiencies achieve savings to fund higher priority needs, they do so through a reduction in 

administrative and programmatic support across all Coast Guard programs. The Coast Guard will 

leverage technology and base resources to mitigate impacts of these reductions on Coast Guard 

readiness, operations, and the workforce.

This proposed reduction restructures the Standard Workstation (SWS) support model by consolidating 

Tier 2 (depot level) support to two Regional Centers. Electronic Support Units (ESU) SWS Help Desks 

will be eliminated, which will eliminate 54 contractors. Tier 1 (end-user) support will be maintained at 

local ESU and Detachments dispatched to major field commands to provide local response as needed. 

Efficiencies will be realized with the elimination of the local help desks. Though there may be an 

increase in the mean time to repair computer-related casualties, processes are in place to monitor the 

status of help requests to mitigate performance degradation and will be used to monitor support 

performance.

Description of Item

This request builds upon the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Performance Plan (MSPP), the foundational 

plan initiated in 2008 to meet the challenges associated with effectively regulating a dynamic and evergrowing maritime industry. It includes growing a highly skilled and high performing diversified 

workforce of military and civilian personnel to support the plan’s goals and initiatives of having a 

superior marine safety workforce, providing superb service delivery to the public, and implementing 
fishing and vessel safety initiatives to reduce casualties from these types of vessels. The request 

includes 105 personnel to implement the next segment of the MSPP by investing in Marine Safety 

Inspectors, Investigators, and Fishing Vessel Safety Examiners at Coast Guard Sectors. 

Justification

The current and future challenges in the U.S. Marine Transportation System (MTS) are many. Increases 

in maritime commerce across the MTS highlight the necessity for growth in the Marine Safety 

workforce to reduce the risk of marine casualties and meet demand for Coast Guard services. This 

request invests in necessary Marine Safety Inspectors, Investigators and Fishing Vessel Safety 

Examiners at Coast Guard Sectors, and places critical attorney positions at Coast Guard Districts to 

enhance capacity for enforcement actions, suspension and revocation cases, marine casualty boards, and 

civil penalties. Additional personnel in this request will assist in meeting the Coast Guard Authorization 

Act (CGAA) of 2010 requirements regarding dockside examinations. 

Additionally, this request provides additional personnel to improve the competency and proficiency of 

the Coast Guard’s marine safety workforce through enhancements to marine safety workforce training. 

Impact on Performance

Funding improves the Coast Guard’s ability to ensure the safety of thousands of vessels and mariners 

and the resiliency of the international supply chain critical to the economic security of the Nation. These 

personnel are paramount to the Coast Guard’s ability to prevent marine casualties and environmental 

disasters. The initiative will provide needed capacity and improve technical competency of the marine 

safety workforce as documented in the Marine Safety Performance Plan.

Description of Item

This request supports the Marine Environmental Protection mission by providing funding for a Marine 

Environmental Response (MER) Incident Management and Assist Team (IMAT) and increasing 

technical expertise and strengthening MER career paths at Coast Guard Sectors and Strike Teams. The 

request is the initial investment in the Coast Guard’s initiative to improve mission performance in 

accordance with the MER Mission Performance Plan (2009). This initiative will begin to address gaps 

in the Coast Guard’s ability to meet requirements of the National Contingency Plan, the National 

Response Framework, and the Coast Guard MER Mission Performance Plan by providing personnel 

with the necessary skills to perform MER functions and enhance environmental response competencies. 
Justification

Recent experience with several complex oil spills including the M/V Cosco Busan, the T/V Eagle 

Otome, and Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) Deepwater Horizon underscore the importance of 

having well-trained and readily deployable incident managers and pollution responders throughout the 

Coast Guard. This request addresses critical MER resource and capability gaps by improving port-level 

and regional preparedness and providing increased capacity for response to discharges of oil, releases of 

hazardous materials, major marine casualties, and environmental disasters in the nation’s ports and 

approaches. The funding also provides for incident responders with advanced level incident 

management training, and cost and legal documentation expertise to support steady-state and prolonged 

response operations. Through investment in the National Center of Expertise, as authorized by the 

CGAA of 2010, this enhancement will begin to institutionalize a dedicated and reliable team of experts 

to work with maritime communities to minimize oil and hazardous materials incident impacts to human 

health, the environment, and the Marine Transportation System. Ultimately, investment will ensure 

effective industry oversight for enforcement of pollution prevention regulations and environmental 

response. 

Impact on Performance

The Coast Guard will enhance the MER program by matching capacity to demand at the three National 

Strike Teams, institutionalizing expertise in the National Incident Management System, and investing in 

additional competency and capacity necessary to carry out existing authorities embodied in the National 

Contingency Plan, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Clean Water Act. The investment will ensure a 

robust cycle of preparedness for, response to, and recovery from catastrophic releases of hazardous 

materials, discharges of oil that may result from major marine casualties or environmental disasters. It 

will also provide a rapid, professional, and deployable response capacity with the right training using the 

proper equipment to sustain the Coast Guard’s leadership role in oil spill response. Continued 

investment in MER capacity will yield organizational expertise to facilitate Federal integration with 

State, local, and tribal entities as well as natural resource trustees in daily operations and disaster 

response. Investment in the National Center of Expertise for Response will contribute to a resilient 

supply chain that can rapidly recover and minimize impact to the Nation’s economic security.

Description of Item

This request provides funding to increase access to child care services for Coast Guard families with 

dependents under the age of 12, better aligning the Coast Guard with DoD child care standards. 

Increasing the Coast Guard’s GSA child care subsidy program provides more Service members the 

opportunity to seek quality, affordable child care throughout the country. Additionally, this request 

funds 12 new civilian positions to align with DoD child care program management standards and 

national accreditation requirements. These positions will enhance training curriculum at Coast Guard 

Child Care Development Centers (CDC) and provide regional dependent care specialists to better 

manage, train, and expand the Coast Guard Family Child Care Home Program (FCC), which certifies 

military family members as in-home child care providers at several Coast Guard units. 

Justification

The well-being of military families is an important indicator of the well-being of the overall Service. 

There are approximately 28,000 Coast Guard dependents under the age of 12 and currently 5.3 percent 

of those eligible dependents are enrolled in Coast Guard sponsored or subsidized child care services. By 

comparison, over 14 percent of DoD children under 12 are enrolled in some form of DoD sponsored or 

subsidized child care program. This disparity is due in part by the limited resources available for child 

care subsidies. This request provides resources to increase subsidy funding based on family income 

levels, which is more in line with the DoD child care subsidy program. 

DHS and the Coast Guard continue to support military families though the use of base resources, as well 

as leveraging partnerships with DoD and other governmental agencies to enhance the long-term 

effectiveness of the Service’s military personnel. Much like DoD’s Reserve and National Guard units, 

Coast Guard units are often geographically dispersed, making it challenging to centralize child care 

programs that provide quality child care for Coast Guard families. The Coast Guard currently takes full 

advantage of DoD child care facilities, where available; however, expanding Coast Guard child care 
programs such as the Coast Guard’s GSA Childcare Subsidy Program and FCC homes will provide 

more viable options to families seeking child care services in areas where larger DoD installations are 

not in close proximity. 

Impact on Performance

Funding this request would close the child care parity gap with DoD by increasing subsidies up to 

$4,500 per child while simultaneously raising the family income cap above the current level of $75,000 

per household. This increases the number of eligible children covered by the current Coast Guard 

subsidy program and distributes subsidy funding more in line with the DoD reimbursement schedule. 

Also, this request funds 12 new civilian positions that are required to sustain CDC accreditation in light 

of increased staffing, training, and certification requirements imposed by the National Association for 

the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and ensures alignment with DoD staffing standards. 

Funding will also provide regional dependent care specialists to better manage and provide training for 

the Coast Guard FCC program participants. Funding will also provide for minor technology upgrades to 

all nine of the Coast Guard’s CDCs.

Description of Item

This request provides budget authority to enable Coast Guard to make all critical decisions with respect 

to operation and maintenance of its polar icebreakers, consistent with MOUs between Coast Guard and 

its customer agencies. The request provides full-year personnel, operations, and maintenance funding 

for CGC HEALY and advance funding to support the reactivation of CGC POLAR STAR, ensuring its 

return to operations in FY 2013. AC&I industrial work on the CGC POLAR STAR reactivation project, 

funded in FY 2009 and FY 2010, is planned for completion in December 2012. The Coast Guard plans 

to decommission CGC POLAR SEA in FY 2011 and transition her crew to CGC POLAR STAR, 

enabling orderly transition to CGC POLAR STAR and facilitating her return to operations in FY 2013. 

Justification

Based on current Federal requirements, maintaining and operating one medium duty and one heavy duty 

icebreaker will allow the Coast Guard to meet operational requirements. CGC HEALY must be 

sustained to meet the federal survey and research needs in the Arctic, including joint projects with other 
nations that support cooperative efforts to establish jurisdictional rights in this region. Although the 

existing heavy-duty polar icebreakers are more costly to operate, are physically and technologically aged 

and are not optimally configured, it is prudent to maintain CGC POLAR STAR which is currently 

undergoing extensive maintenance to extend its service life as an interim capability while long-term 

Arctic capability requirements are finalized. CGC POLAR STAR will be a capable backup for the 

annual resupply of McMurdo Base and for CGC HEALY in the Arctic should it become beset in the ice. 

To help define the capability that is needed to meet long-term federal needs in the changing Arctic 

environment, Coast Guard will participate in the DHS-led interagency working group, funded in FY 

2012 to develop final requirements for acquisition of the 21st Century icebreaking capability. In the 

meantime, CGC POLAR STAR will provide a platform capable of staging resources and supporting 

international response to unanticipated emergencies or disasters (natural or manmade). 

Impact on Performance

CGC HEALY and CGC POLAR STAR will continue to support federal activities in the high latitude 

regions. Additionally, the replacement of CGC POLAR SEA with CGC POLAR STAR in FY 2013 will 

provide a more dependable resource for contingency operations in both the Arctic and Antarctic. The 

funding for CGC POLAR STAR in FY 2012 will help Coast Guard sustain a trained crew and make 

ready for operations as quickly as possible.

PPA Breakdown - Coast Guard Network Security Total 

($000) 

PPA V: Centrally Managed Accounts 

 Central Accounts 8,600

Description of Item

The $8.6 million requested provides funding for the Coast Guard to transition from its commercially 

provided Internet Access Points (IAPs) to DoD IAPs provided via DISA. Access to these IAPs, a more 

secure network pathway, is critical to interoperability and interagency coordination between DHS and 

DoD and ensuring the continued security of Coast Guard networks. Secure networks provide the 

platform to execute all of the Coast Guard’s statutory missions. 

Justification

The Coast Guard has an increased need for security for critical operational systems, such as command 

and control systems, that communicate over military networks. DoD security standards require that 

these systems be protected by DoD trusted internet connections provided by DISA. Currently, the Coast 

Guard manages commercially provided IAPs that do not meet DoD standards. Each month, 12 million 

emails hit Coast Guard gateways with 25,000 infections or malicious payloads, 5.5 million spam emails 

are rejected, 175 information assurance (IA) incidents occur, 350 computers are re-built and 40,000 

computers are scanned for vulnerabilities. This funding provides for the installation of three fiber optic 

circuits at each of the Coast Guard’s existing IAP locations in Alexandria, VA; Kearneysville, WV; and 

Alameda, CA. These circuits will route all internet traffic to and from the internal Coast Guard One 

network (uscg.mil address space) through DoD managed IAPs and DoD network sensors. Traffic from 

the internet destined to the uscg.gov address space would continue to be routed through DHS IAPs. 
Impact on Performance

The implementation of proven cyber security sensors will ensure robust and secure interoperability with 

DoD and will also increase the protection of information on Coast Guard networks. As a military 

service within DHS, the Coast Guard serves as a bridge between DHS and DoD for network security and 

information sharing. Failure to complete conversion to the DoD IAPs increases risk to DHS networks 

during steady-state operations and at times of crisis when network performance and stability is 

paramount to public safety in the maritime domain.

Description of Item

This request provides funding to support replacement of the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking 

(SARSAT) system with DASS to ensure no loss of life saving coverage in a system that supports Coast 

Guard’s SAR statutory mission. Commencing recapitalization of the SARSAT system is essential in FY 

2012 to mitigate system degradation in 2017. DASS utilizes Search and Rescue (SAR) payloads on 

GPS Block III satellites. The primary partners involved in this multi-agency effort to deploy and 

operate DASS include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Air Force (USAF), and the U.S. Coast 

Guard. In February 2010, NASA, NOAA, USAF, and the Coast Guard signed the U.S. SARSAT 

Program MOA providing a policy framework and party commitments to continue supporting the 

existing operational SARSAT and international COSPAS-SARSAT programs, and to develop a 

Medium-altitude Earth Orbiting SAR (MEOSAR) system called DASS. Recapitalization of the 

SARSAT system is an essential element to effectively carrying out the Coast Guard’s Maritime 

Response activities. 

Justification

The current SARSAT system’s reliability and level of service will begin to degrade in 2017, with total 

system obsolescence by 2020. A fully functional DASS constellation will consist of 24 satellites 

equipped with Canadian supplied DASS payloads. There is a limited window of opportunity to initiate 

the DASS payload integration with the GPS satellites prior to deploying into space. Funding is required 

in FY 2012 to initiate the Coast Guard’s portion of the DASS payload integration with GPS satellites 

prior to launch. A delay in funding will result in an incomplete satellite constellation and coverage gaps. 

These coverage gaps will prevent first responders from receiving distress alerting data, potentially 

resulting in lives lost. Hundreds of thousands of distress beacons are used by U.S. citizens in aircraft 

(Emergency Locator Transmitters – ELTs), ships and boats (Emergency Position Indicating Radio 
Beacons – EPIRBs) and on their persons (Personal Locator Beacons – PLBs) in the U.S., as well as 

worldwide. Over the past five years the legacy SARSAT system provided critical life saving data to 

first responders in order to save over 1,300 lives in the U.S. Internationally, since 1982, the 

International COSPAS-SARSAT system provided critical distress alerting data to SAR authorities 

worldwide, saving more than 26,000 lives. 

Impact on Performance

The Coast Guard is the Nation’s leader in maritime SAR. DASS will increase distress position accuracy 

information by 80 percent over that provided by the legacy SARSAT system and will increase system 

redundancy while retaining this critical capability beyond SARSAT’s end of reliable service life in 

2017. Additionally, DASS will reduce notification of a distress beacon alert to less than five minutes. 

Currently, the interval between satellite passes is approximately 90 minutes with location confirmation 

often requiring at least two passes. DASS will greatly reduce the time required to locate a beacon, 

which will ultimately result in more lives saved and fewer national resources expended prosecuting 

searches with incomplete data. Partnering with other agencies/nations will decrease cost of 

development, implementation, and operations over the life of the system.

Description of Item

FY 2012 data center development funding, to be managed through the DHS Working Capital Fund 

(WCF), will be used for the continuation of system and application migration to the two DHS Enterprise 

Data Centers for central DHS management in FY 2012. This includes: 

• Discovery, migration planning, and scheduling activities specifically related to 

systems/applications that will transition to the DHS Data Centers in FY 2012. 

• Purchase of new equipment for placement in the DHS Data Centers as part of 

migration/transition efforts. 

• Installation of equipment racks at the DHS Data Centers. 

• Migration-related build-out of DHS Data Center infrastructure. 

• Transition of disaster recovery/backup/COOP (Continuity of Operations) capability to DHS Data 

Centers. 

• Installation of infrastructure support as part of system migrations at the DHS Data Centers. 

Justification

The Data Center consolidation efforts will standardize IT resource acquisitions across DHS 

Components, and streamline maintenance and support contracts, allowing for less complex vendor 

support and expediting response times in the event of an emergency. Benefits derived from 

consolidation are enhanced DHS IT security posture, improved information sharing with stakeholders, 

and increased operational efficiencies over time.

This PPA requests funding for expenses related to compensation for active duty military personnel. This category also includes pay, 

allowances, employer's share of FICA, Social Security credits and other expenses associated with compensating military personnel. 

Requested funding will compensate our military personnel as they serve as the Nation's First Responder across all of the Coast Guard's eleven 

statutory missions in support of the Coast Guard's six FYHSP Programs.

Salaries and benefits funds provide for compensation directly related to duties performed for the Coast Guard by 

active duty military personnel. The FY 2012 request reflects funding for the proposed pay raise (currently predicted 

at 1.6 percent for military only), medical benefits, and other mandatory personnel entitlements. Personnel increases 

include personnel to enhance Marine Safety and Marine Environmental Response and personnel to operate new 

systems and assets, including the National Security Cutter, Fast Response Cutter, HC-144A, Response Boat-Medium 

(RB-M), and the Interagency Operation Centers. Additionally, the request includes funding for personnel for two 

polar icebreakers. Personnel reductions are accounted for through the annualization of FTE reduced in FY 2011, as 

well as the decommissioning of the three PC-179 patrol coastal cutters and one High Endurance Cutter.

Transportation of things includes all costs of the care of such things while in process of being transported, and other 

services incident to the transportation of things. Funding primarily supports the shipment of military member's 

household goods in conjunction with Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves. The FY 2012 request includes 

funding for PCS travel costs, such as PCS costs for the crews associated with new assets, personnel for the 

enhancement of Marine Safety and Marine Environmental Response and personnel assigned to the NSC Crew 

Rotational Concept (CRC).

Requested funds cover the travel costs of Coast Guard military service members, while in an authorized travel status, 

either directly or by reimbursing the traveler. Funding also supports the shipment of military member's household 

goods in conjunction with Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves. The FY 2012 request reflects funding for PCS 

travel costs, such as PCS travel costs associated with the commissioning of new assets and the decommissioning of

Purchases from Government Accounts include costs for purchases from other Federal Government agencies or 

accounts that are not otherwise classified. Specifically, funds support the purchase of goods and services from other 

government agencies including interagency service requirements. The FY 2012 request reflects annualization of prior 

year management and technology efficiencies.

Operation and maintenance of facilities include all payments for the operation and maintenance of facilities when 

done by contract with the private sector or another Federal Government account. Specifically, funds support 

contracted janitorial, landscaping, security, and environmental services (e.g., hazardous materials disposal) associated 

with the operation of Coast Guard facilities. The FY 2012 request primarily reflects annualization of the HC-144A 

flight simulator operation/maintenance follow-on and training school requirements associated the enhancement of 

Marine Safety and Marine Environmental Response.

Advisory and assistance services include services acquired by contract from non-Federal sources (e.g., private sector, 

foreign governments, State and local governments, tribes, etc.) as well as from other units within the Federal 

Government. Specifically, funding supports contracted training and services to repair/maintain Coast Guard 

operational assets and facilities. The FY 2012 request reflects the net result of decreases in contractor support due to 

the annualization of prior year management and technology efficiencies and a Service-wide reduction in 

administrative and advisory assistance services/support.

Other services include report contractual services with non-Federal sources that are not otherwise classified under 

Object Class 25. Specifically, funding supports contracted consultant services such as training manuals, architectural 

and engineering services, independent/third-party analysis of Coast Guard programs and other initiatives focused on 

improving performance of Coast Guard missions. The FY 2012 request has not changed. The decrease is an artifact 

of the display which includes OCO obligations for FY 2011, but not FY 2012.

when done by contract with the private sector or another Federal Government account. Specifically, funding supports 

contracted specialized maintenance and minor repair of Coast Guard operational assets (e.g., cutters, boats, and 

aircraft) and supporting systems. The FY 2012 request reflects technical transfers and the annualization of prior year 

funding.

Supplies and materials are primarily defined as commodities that are ordinarily consumed or expended within one 

year after they are put into use. Specifically, funding supports procurement of consumable supplies aboard Coast 

Guard operational, training and shore support units. The FY 2012 request primarily reflects the estimated 

annualization of prior year management and technology efficiencies. The decrease is partly an artifact of the display 

which includes OCO obligations for FY 2011, but not FY 2012.

This object class covers the purchase of capitalized and non-capitalized assets. For example, this object class enables 

the Coast Guard to purchase furniture for the cadets at the Coast Guard Academy. The FY 2012 request is the 

annualization of the HC-144A flight simulator operation and maintenance follow-on.

K. DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy 

In order to establish a high performing workforce comprised of a strong internal core of federal employees supported by the expertise of private contractors, the Department created the DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy. DHS is committed to establishing the appropriate mix of in-house and contract skills, experience and other resources necessary to balance the total DHS workforce. 

Pursuant to section 736 of Division D of the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009, P.L. 111-8, the Department is required to issue 

guidelines to DHS component agencies to facilitate consistent and sound application of this statutory requirement. Through the DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy, the Department will ensure that only Federal employees perform work that is inherently governmental or otherwise needs to be reserved to the public sector to maintain control of and sustain agency operations, and obtains contract services when it is appropriate and cost-effective. After a workforce planning assessment the Department will 

realign contractor and/or federal positions as necessary to achieve a balanced workforce. Assessing the workforce also allows managers to understand how contract employees are deployed throughout their organization and integrated with federal employees to 

better realize the full potential of our total workforce – both contracted and federal. A strong internal core of federal employees will build in-house capacity and institutional knowledge that is essential for effective government performance. Along with the statutory requirement to issue guidance to DHS components, Section 736 requires the Department to review all existing contracts in order to 

identify any functions currently being performed that should be reserved for federal employees. As the Department has a large magnitude of contracts, all contracts have prioritized based on risk into Tiered ranking. The results of Tier 1 contract review are listed 

below. The results of the lower-priority contracts will post-date this budget submission and will be included in the FY 2013 budget. U. S. Coast Guard requests ($484,000) and 4 FTE for the FY 2012 DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy.

 1The 15 Pos/FTE associated with the FY 2011 Follow-On is 15 additional contractor positions converted in FY 2011 and annotated in the MWRI Technical Adjustment. 
FY 2012 DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy

In FY 2012, the Coast Guard proposes converting a professional services contract costing approximately $1 million to governmental 

service using four full-time civilian positions costing approximately $516 thousand. This conversion will achieve a total saving of approximately $484 thousand in operating expenses. Implementation of this contract conversion will have a minimal overlap period (1-2 weeks), and all contractor functions will be transferred to the new federal employees. Annualization and Follow-On of FY 2011 DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy

The Coast Guard’s FY 2011 Multi-Sector Workforce Rebalancing Initiative (MWRI), formally known as the DHS Balance Workforce Strategy in the FY 2011 President’s Request, originally estimated 300 full-time positions (185 civilian and 115 military) for conversion to government performance. This initiative yielded $14.5 million in savings in the FY 2011 President’s Request. Extensive analysis was completed identifying contracts ideally suited for conversion to government performance based on a potential to achieve greater workforce balance and cost efficiencies. The resulting review recommended adjusting the original insourcingestimates by increasing the number of civilian conversions from 185 to 286 and decreasing the military conversions from 115 to 29 for a total of 315 positions. This review ensured the Coast Guard has the proper mix of federal and contractor workforce, and achieved the targeted savings outlined in the FY 2011 President’s Request. The FY 2012 MWRI technical adjustment accounts for the military to civilian conversions, the additional 15 positions insourced, and technical base adjustments to reallocate funding for professional 

service contracts to the appropriate PPA.

Description of Item

The $3.5 million requested increase provides funding for the Coast Guard to begin 

environmental remediation and restoration work necessary to permanently decommission, 

dispose or transfer legacy cutters and LORAN transmitter sites dispersed throughout the United 

States. Remediation of cutters includes removing hazardous substances, including petroleum 

products, lead based paint, Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and asbestos. Funding requested 

for disposal of vessels decommissioned in FY 2011 assumes minimal required EC&R work 

associated with disposal via foreign military sales or scrapping in accordance with proposed FY 

2012 General Provisions. Remediation or restoration of LORAN sites includes removing 

hazardous or toxic substances (e.g., unconsumed petroleum products, lead based paint, asbestos), 

removing hazardous equipment, and performing site remediation. Detailed environmental 

surveys, funded from the EC&R appropriation are required to develop cost estimates for this 

work. In addition to funding provided/requested via the EC&R appropriation, the Coast Guard 

plans to leverage proceeds from the sale of LORAN-C properties, consistent with proposed FY 

2012 General Provisions to complete required LORAN-C remediation. 

Justification

Environmental restoration or remediation is necessary to protect human health and the 

environment. The Coast Guard is statutorily responsible to remediate or restore legacy cutters 

and LORAN sites in support of disposition following decommissioning. All LORAN sites are 

uninhabited, and many are in remote locations, making them highly susceptible to trespassing 

and vandalism, increasing the risk to humans and the environment through exposure to 

hazardous substances and materials until conveyed through transfer or sale. Despite being 

inactive, the Coast Guard is still responsible for minimally maintaining these assets and sites in a 

caretaker status. It is critical to complete timely environmental remediation so the Coast Guard 
can remove assets and sites from its inventory, thereby eliminating the latent environmental 

liability and caretaker costs. 

Performance Impact

Funding in FY 2012 is critical to initiate environmental restoration necessary to dispose of these 

cutters and LORAN sites. Until restoration work is completed, the Coast Guard will retain the 

environmental and resource liability represented by maintaining these assets in its inventory.

Reserve Training

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Reserve Training:

As the principal Federal agency charged with maritime safety, security and 

environmental stewardship, the Coast Guard protects vital economic and security 

interests of the United States from internal and external maritime risks and threats. Our 

reserve forces provide critical support to all of the Coast Guard’s 11 statutorily mandated 

missions. Moreover, the Coast Guard Reserve may be called upon to provide units and 

personnel to augment active Coast Guard forces during times of crisis, domestically or 

worldwide. 

B. Budget Activities:

The Reserve Training appropriation directly supports training, operation and 

administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program. Coast Guard Reserve Forces 

provide qualified and trained personnel for active duty in the event of conflict, national 

emergency, or natural and man-made disasters. The reservists maintain their readiness 

through mobilization exercises and duty alongside regular Coast Guard members during 

routine and emergency operations. Reservists will continue to serve as a cost-effective 

surge force to enhance the Nation’s resilience to disasters. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests 536 positions, 536 FTE, and $136.8 million in FY 2012. This 

request provides necessary resources for the training, operation, and administration of the 

Coast Guard Reserve Program, including training, equipping, and ensuring the readiness 

of the Coast Guard’s 8,100 member Reserve workforce. The total adjustments-to-base is 

$3.1 million for the military pay raises in FYs 2011 and 2012, and non-pay inflation. 

This request also includes a total decrease of $407,000 for program support reductions.

 PPA I: PAY, BENEFITS AND ALLOWANCES 

The Coast Guard requests $107.7 million for this activity. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This request for Pay, Benefits and Allowances funds salaries, benefits, and other compensation 

for both military and civilian Full Time Support (FTS) staffs supporting members of the Coast 

Guard’s Selected Reserve, as well as for reservists who participate in training activities. The 

Coast Guard Reserve is the Coast Guard’s surge-capacity military workforce and provides a 

cost-effective and versatile surge capacity to respond to major contingencies, such as natural and 

man-made disasters, maritime homeland security, national security, and other events. 

The Coast Guard Reserve is a cornerstone of service readiness and pivotal to the success of daily 

mission execution and contingency response. The Coast Guard Reserve was an invaluable 

contributor to Operation Deepwater Horizon with approximately 31 percent of the Selected 

Reserve having been mobilized since the response began in April 2010. Selected Reservists also 

played an integral role in response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti. At the same time, the 

Coast Guard Reserve continues to support the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Overseas 

Contingency Operations in Iraq. Our reservists provide an outstanding return on investment by 

augmenting the active duty with needed competencies and capacity through Inactive Duty 

Training and Active Duty Training periods. 

This request for funding sustains 536 FTS FTE, which represent both military and civilian 

members who manage all recruiting, formal training, personnel, and resource/program oversight. 

No additional FTE are requested.

The Coast Guard requests $29.1 million for this activity. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This request for Operations, Maintenance and Administration funds services and facilities to 

train reservists, and to administer the Reserve program. 

By providing funding for enterprise-wide services used by reservists, the Reserve Training 

appropriation ensures equipment and facilities necessary to attract and maintain a high-caliber 

reserve force without eroding the resource base of the active duty military workforce. Coast 

Guard reservists train and serve in multiple mission areas as boarding officers, small boat 

coxswains, contingency planners, and marine inspectors. The Coast Guard Reserve is an 

extraordinary force multiplier upon which our nation can confidently rely in times of exceptional 

need. 

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Maintained readiness and sharpened mobilization skills through training and exercises 

during routine and emergency operations, and to support defense operations. 

• Enhanced the delivery of training, readiness, and operational support. 

• Improved Reserve readiness and training with further development of formal and on-line 

training for the entire corps of FTS personnel who support reserve readiness throughout 

the Coast Guard. 

FY 2011 planned accomplishments (based on an annualized CR funding estimate) include: 

• Improve processes to enhance ability to mobilize, train, and maintain skills required to 

support defense operations. Improve readiness through training and exercises during 

routine and emergency operations. 

• Ensure on-time delivery of pre-mobilization and in-theater training, readiness, and 

operational support for reserve personnel through e-Learning initiatives. 
• Review current distribution of drilling reserve strength to determine optimal distribution 

for purposes of meeting dynamic operational demands. 

FY 2012 planned accomplishments include: 

• Improve in-theater movement tracking of mobilized reservists. 

• Improve the capability to recall members from the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) and 

ensure the mobilization readiness of a select group of IRR members.

INTRODUCTION 

 

The Coast Guard FY 2012 budget proposes the elimination of the Integrated Deepwater System 

(IDS) sub-appropriation and disaggregation of the IDS construct from the Coast Guard’s 

Acquisition, Construction and Improvement (AC&I) appropriation. Enacting this proposal will 

further enhance acquisition management and accountability by aligning the appropriations structure 

with how the projects are managed. This initiative also enhances accountability by establishing a 

stronger linkage between appropriations and specific asset acquisition projects, promotes better 

alignment with the authorized appropriation structure, and is a natural outcome of the Coast Guard’s 

ongoing efforts to reform acquisition management and oversight. The new appropriations structure 

includes the following sub-appropriations: 

• Vessels (cutters, small boats and related equipment) 

• Aircraft (aviation capability) 

• Other 

• Shore Facilities and Aids to Navigation 

• Military Housing

• Personnel and Management

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Surface assets 

The vessel program provides funding to recapitalize and/or improve the Coast Guard’s fleet of 

aging boats and cutters. With many of the Coast Guard’s cutters operating at or beyond their 

planned service life, these recapitalization and sustainment projects are critical to ensuring the 

continued mission effectiveness and readiness of the Coast Guard’s surface fleet. FY 2012 funding 

supports the Survey and Design of Vessels and Boats, In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS), 
Response Boat-Medium (RB-M), National Security Cutter (NSC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), 

Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Cutter Boats and Medium Endurance Cutter Sustainment projects. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of boats and cutters supported within this program collectively perform all 

11 statutory Coast Guard missions in the offshore, coastal and inland areas of responsibility (AOR). 

The ISVS acquisition is a new project, intended to perform life-cycle sustainment work on aging 

vessels, starting with 140’ Ice-Breaking Tugs in FY 2012. 

The Coast Guard’s future fleet of NSCs, OPCs and FRCs will replace the current fleet of High and 

Medium Endurance Cutters and Island-Class Patrol Boats. These cutters will provide endurance, 

speed, sea-keeping, surveillance, and persistent presence in the offshore AOR to perform the 

following Coast Guard missions: Drug and Migrant Interdiction, Living Marine Resources, Defense 

Readiness, Search and Rescue (SAR), Marine Environmental Protection, and Ports, Waterways, and 

Coastal Security. The NSCs and OPCs will be able to autonomously support and deploy aircraft 

and cutter boats, and possess a highly effective suite of electronics communication and surveillance 

equipment. NSCs, which have been fielded, are also able to optimally conduct critical law 

enforcement and SAR missions in the most challenging operational environments (e.g., Bering Sea, 

Russian-U.S. Maritime Boundary Line, Eastern Pacific, etc.), and overseas DHS missions, 

including out-of-hemisphere deployments. Furthermore, NSCs have the capacity to perform 

contingency response operations in all environments, including contaminated areas in the wake of a 

chemical or biological attack. Cutter boats provide major cutters the capability to deliver boarding 

teams, stop non-compliant vessels, transfer personnel/cargo, and augment the operations outlined 

above. The FRC is optimized for similar Coast Guard missions as the NSC and OPC, but at a 

shorter range within the Coastal and near-Offshore domains, while relying exclusively upon shorebased aircraft as opposed to cutter-borne assets to perform airborne surveillance and tactical 

support. 

The RB-M is designed for operations within the coastal AOR, optimized for the full range of Law 

Enforcement, Maritime Response, Maritime Security, and Maritime Transportation System 

Management Programs within the territorial seas, harbors, and inland waterways. RB-Ms operate 

from multi-mission boat stations throughout the coastal United States and Territories. 140’ IceBreaking Tugs primarily perform domestic icebreaking services, facilitating the safe passage of 

maritime commerce and conducting flood-relief operations, in addition to fulfilling other Coast 

Guard statutory missions within the Coastal and Inland AORs. These cutters are extremely 

versatile, as highlighted during Deepwater Horizon Marine Environmental Response operations.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Aviation Assets 

The aircraft program is the primary recapitalization and sustainment effort for the Coast Guard’s 

aging aircraft. It is comprised of new fixed-wing aircraft acquisitions, acquisition of one H-60 

helicopter lost during operational service, and both fixed and rotary wing aircraft sustainment 

projects. Through strategic investment in state-of-the-market Command, Control, Communications 

and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) equipment and design, this 

program also provides the necessary capability enhancements to conduct maritime safety and 

security missions. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary wing aircraft supported within this program collectively 

performs all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions in the Offshore, Coastal and Inland AOR. The 

land-based fixed-wing aircraft include the C-130, HU-25 and C-144A aircraft. The C-144A is 

replacing the HU-25 as the Coast Guard’s primary medium-range fixed-wing aircraft. The Coast 

Guard’s fleet of C-130Hs and C-130Js provide long-range 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. Both aircraft are deployed from land-based 

Air Stations, while the H-65 is also deployed routinely aboard the Coast Guard’s fleet of NSCs, 

WHECs, WAGBs, and WMECs. The H-60 is a medium-range helicopter, and the H-65 is a shortrange helicopter. Both aircraft are used to execute the full range of Coast Guard programs 

including Law Enforcement, Maritime Security, Maritime Response, Defense Operations, and 

Maritime Transportation System Management. The projects within this program are intended to 

recapitalize and sustain these aircraft. 

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010:

The Coast Guard request for FY 2012 is $166.1 million. 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Command, Control, Communications, Computers 

and Information Technology (C4IT), Acquisition Management 

Funding procures hardware and software, including initial acquisition, development or construction 

or improvement of any system, software or equipment costing over $1.0 million per usable segment 

or item, or $10.0 million total project cost. In FY 2012, funding will support continued progress on 

build-out of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and 

Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, CG-Logistics Information Management System (CG-LIMS), 

Interagency Operations Centers (IOCs), Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) and 

Rescue 21 (R21). This program also provides funding for Systems Engineering and Integration 

(SEI) and Government Program Management (GPM). 

The Coast Guard leverages its C4ISR capability to effectively execute a broad mission set in an 

immensely challenging operating environment. Assets are able to receive, evaluate and act upon 

information obtained through the capability provided by the systems supported in this program. 

The C4ISR project provides standardized capability to major cutters and aircraft, facilitating 

interoperability and information sharing. R21 facilitates SAR and other coastal operations by 

identifying, communicating with, and locating vessels in distress and providing the VHF command, 

control and communications backbone leveraged by all assets operating in the coastal zone. NAIS 

provides the ability to identify and classify vessels operating within the coastal and inland AORs to 

support maritime domain awareness activities. The IOC project facilitates maritime interagency 

cooperation during normal and contingency operations in major ports by integrating existing sensor 

output (e.g. radar, cameras, etc.) and providing asset status information to maritime agency 

stakeholders. Deployment of CG-LIMS enables the Coast Guard to replace redundant and 
incompatible logistics and financial systems with one single integrated IT system capable of 

providing enhanced configuration management, supply support, and improved financial 

accountability. SEI and GPM are critical to efficient oversight and execution of the Coast Guard’s 

acquisition programs.

V. Exhibits and Other Supporting Materials 

 A. Justification of Proposed Legislative Language 

Department of Homeland Security 

U. S. Coast Guard 

Justification of Proposed Changes in Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements 

Appropriation Language 

For necessary expenses of acquisition, construction, renovation, and improvement of aids to 

navigation, shore facilities, vessels, and aircraft, including equipment related thereto; and 

maintenance, rehabilitation, lease and operation of facilities and equipment, as authorized by 

law; $1,421,924,000, of which $20,000,000 shall be derived from the Oil Spill Liability Trust 

Fund to carry out the purposes of section 1012(a)(5) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 

2712(a)(5)); of which $20,000,000 shall remain available until expended for military family 

housing, of which not more than $14,000,000 shall be derived from the Coast Guard Housing 

Fund, established pursuant to 14 U.S.C. 687; of which $642,000,000 shall be available until 

September 30, 2016, to acquire, effect major repairs, renovate, or improve vessels, small boats, 

and related equipment; of which $289,900,000 shall be available until September 30, 2016, to 

acquire, effect major repairs, renovate, or improve aircraft or increase aviation capability; of 

which $166,140,000 shall be available until September 30, 2016, for other equipment; of which 

$193,692,000 shall be available until September 30,2016, for shore facilities and aids to 

navigation facilities; and of which $110,192,000 shall be available for personnel compensation 

and benefits and related costs: Provided, That of the funds made available for personnel 

compensation and benefits and related costs, $2,249,714 shall be for strengthening the capacity 

and capabilities of the acquisition workforce (as defined by the Office of Federal Procurement 

Policy Act, as amended (41 U.S.C. 401 et seq.), including the recruitment, hiring, training, and 

retention of such workforce and information technology in support of acquisition workforce 

effectiveness or for management solutions to improve acquisition management. 

Note: A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; 

therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111-242, as amended). The amounts 

included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. 

Explanation of Changes: 

Consistent with the dissolution of Integrated CG Systems and the disaggregation of the 

Deepwater Acquisition into asset-based Acquisition Program Baselines, the proposed changes 

align projects that were formerly grouped under Integrated Deepwater Systems (IDS) with the 

existing authorized structure for Vessels, Aviation, Shore, Other Equipment, and Personnel and 

Management. 

Makes all AC&I funds available for five years. This ensures comparability with the current 

structure under which the IDS sub-appropriation has had five year availability for all of its subactivities. Since the applicable authorization language in 14 USC 656 approves the Coast Guard 

AC&I activities to be appropriated until expended, only the appropriations language must be 

modified. 
Adds the phrase “except as otherwise provided” to aircraft appropriation, making it consistent 

with the minor construction and small boat language in the OE appropriation.

Acquisition, Construction & Improvements 1

Notes: (1) FY 2013-16 funding levels are subject to change based upon adjustment to out-year fiscal guidance and finalization of the FY 2012-16 Future Year Homeland Security Program.

(2) For purposes of display, 2011 project funding levels are a distribution of the annualized March 4, 2011 Continuing Resolution (H.R. 3082) "top-line" AC&I funding level, which is $156.5 million more than the FY 2011 President's Budget. The distribution of funds to each project is consistent with the FY 2011 

President's Budget with the following exceptions:(a) $615 million for NSC; $77M greater than the President's Budget, consistent with the 111th Congress' FY 2011 House Full-Year Continuing Resolution and FY 2011 Draft Omnibus Appropriations Bills. The additional $77M in 2011, plus another $77M in 2012, is required to fully fund NSC-5.

(b) $105.6 million for Direct Personnel; $1.5 million less than the FY 2011 President's Budget, reflects savings from the 2011-2012 civilian pay freeze, consistent with the March 4, 2011 Continuing Resolution.(c) The remainder of the excess $156.5 million ($79.5 million) is allocated to MPA, as this is a high priority recapitalization project in FY 2011. The excess funds would provide one additional aircraft and initial spares.

FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

(Dollars in Thousands) 

Survey and Design - Vessels and Boats $6,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The FY 2012 funding will complete survey and design work for the 140-foot Icebreaking Tugs 

(WTGBs) as well as initiate this work for the 225-foot Sea-Going Buoy Tenders (WLBs) and the 175-

foot Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLMs). 

This request provides ongoing funding to support multi-year engineering survey and design efforts in 

support of future-year Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEPs), Service-Life Extension Projects (SLEPs), 

and other similar projects. Several of the Coast Guard’s cutters and boats are operating near or beyond 

their designed service life, or are requiring extensive repairs and upgrades to maintain mission 

effectiveness. As these vessels continue to age, project funding is required to conduct detailed condition 

surveys of the hull, along with engineering design work to be used in the planning and scope of 

sustainment or fleet replacement projects. Examples of the work to be performed under this project 

include: detailed survey and assessment of the material condition within the current fleet; study and 

analysis of engineering systems and components to evaluate their suitability for use in sustainment 

projects; and the development of pre-acquisition documentation to enable a sustainment or 

recapitalization project to reach initial approval in accordance with the Coast Guard’s Major Systems 

Acquisition Manual. 

Early planning, requirements development and cost estimating in support of future cutter and boat 

acquisition and sustainment projects are critical to exercising good governance, planning, and 

acquisition oversight to make the best use of limited resources.

(Dollars in Thousands) 

In Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) $14,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request initiates a permanent acquisition 

program for sustainment of aging vessels to 

include Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP) and 

Service Life Extension Projects (SLEP). 

Specifically funded in FY 2012 is a SLEP on the 

first 140’ Ice Breaking Tug (WTGB). 

The WTGB fleet of nine vessels was designed 

with a 30-year service life. The lead ship in this 

class was placed in service in 1978, and has been 

in continuous service for 32 years. No mid-life 

sustainment program has been performed on this fleet. From 2006 to 2009, the WTGB fleet lagged 

operational readiness targets by 19% due to major equipment failures, reducing operational capacity, 

and, in some cases, precluding cutters from getting underway, or resulting in aborted missions. This 

project is intended to increase the reliability and operational availability of these cutter classes through 

replacement of equipment and components that have been identified as the highest contributors to 

increasing maintenance costs and decreasing cutter availability. 

Specific system upgrades and improvements to be addressed include: 

• Overall reliability and efficiency of the propulsion plant will be improved through renewal of 

key components of the propulsion and power generation systems, many of which have not been 

updated since the cutter was placed in-service. 

• Renewal of increasingly unreliable and difficult to repair & maintain Auxiliary systems 

including the steering and Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC) systems. 

• Improve environmental compliance via installation of a new engine room fire suppression 

system that meets current environmental standards, renewal of the Oily Water Separator (OWS) 

system and reconfiguration of the stack exhaust system to better control emissions. 

• Safety improvements including replacement of the boat launching davit system, which was 

originally designed for a smaller, lighter boat and is minimally capable of handling the current 

cutter boat. 

• Major improvements to crew habitability including reconfiguration of berthing areas to meet 

current habitability standards. 

In addition to summer Aids To Navigation work, the WTGB fleet is critical to performing Domestic 

Icebreaking missions essential to ensuring safe passage of more than twenty million tons of cargo during 

peak winter months in the Great Lakes region, and millions of tons in coastal regions along the 

Northeast Atlantic. It is also able to support other missions as was recently demonstrated by its 

significant contributions to Deepwater Horizon Marine Environmental Response operations.

Response Boat - Medium (RB-M) $110,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding places 40 boats on order. It also supports engineering changes identified through early 

operations, and supports logistics development. 

The Response Boat - Medium (RB-M) project 

was established in October 2001 to procure 

180 new small boats to replace the aging 41-

foot Utility Boats (UTB) (and other large nonstandard boats) with standardized assets more 

capable of meeting the Coast Guard’s multimission operational requirements. The legacy 

41’ UTB is a key asset for Coast Guard 

operations within coastal zones. Although 

designed specifically for Search and Rescue 

(SAR) missions, the 41’ UTBs have been 

employed as multi-mission assets. Since the 

41’ UTB was built, Coast Guard mission requirements, particularly in terms of maritime security have 

changed markedly. The RB-M offers a number of improvements over the existing fleet of 41’ UTBs and 

other boats in performance, human system interface and operational availability. Several program 

requirements and extensive field commander input supported a need for an RB-M that is substantially 

faster (e.g., 40+ knots vs. 26 knots) than the 41’ UTB to support homeland security operations and 

improve multi-mission performance effectiveness. 

Integrated navigation and sensing systems compliant with modern international radio-telephone 

standards provide the RB-M with improved communications and search capability compared to the 

41’UTB, improving mission effectiveness. Interoperability of the RB-M with Rescue 21 equipment 

enhances overall command and control as well as crew safety in coastal zones. Moreover, crew interface 

with the boat and equipment has been improved in a number of areas. For example, 

• Self-righting capability provides improved survivability in higher sea states; 

• Self-fendering allows more efficient boarding and towing operations; 

• Improved survivor recovery arrangement improves crew effectiveness; and 

• Secure seating for each crewmember in an environmentally controlled cabin enables greater 

mission endurance with less crew fatigue. 

The project emphasizes standardization and the ability to maintain and replace RB-M components 

quickly. This improves the efficiency of organizational and depot level maintenance support. 

Additionally the RB-M system includes an interactive logistics support package that provides ready 

access to technical information. Further efficiencies are gained by providing maintenance relief vessels 

to substitute for station boats during major maintenance and casualty repairs. Finally, the RB-M is built 

to dimensions that allow for commercial overland transportation to support deployed surge operations.

U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

Response Boat - Medium (RB-M) $110,000

PROJECT HISTORY 

The RB-M project acquisition strategy is two-phased. Phase I entailed developmental testing and 

evaluation on three test boats to validate RB-M requirements. On June 21, 2006 Phase II contract was 

awarded to Marinette Marine Corporation (MMC) of Marinette, Wisconsin. MMC’s primary 

subcontractor is Kvichak Marine Industries (KMI) in Kent, Washington for the design and sole 

construction of the initial RB-Ms. Detailed design was completed in June 2007 and construction on the 

first RB-M started in July 2007 with the first boat delivery in March 2008 that initiated Operational 

Testing and Evaluation (OT&E) on the first six boats. The FY 2008 appropriation provided funding to 

place sufficient orders to warrant opening a second production facility in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This 

facility opened in September 2008 and delivered its first RB-M (hull #11) in Q4 FY 2009. 

The project received approval to move from LRIP (Low Rate Initial Production of 15 RB-Ms per year) 

into Full Rate Production (30 boats per year) in March 2010. With ramp-up to full production complete 

in FY 2010, both the Green Bay, Wisconsin facility and the Kent, Washington facility are now capable 

of delivering at least 15 RB-Ms each annually for a combined total of no less than 30 boats per year, 

provided funding is sufficient to sustain RB-M orders per the contract pricing schedule. 

The table below lists the RB-Ms delivered as of February 4, 2011 as well as the others still to be 

delivered in FY 2011 per the last IBR (integrated baseline review). Note the following in the table: 

 Facility – RB-Ms are produced by, and delivered from, two facilities: Kent, WA and Green Bay, WI. 

 “Seq” is the sequence in which the boat is delivered to the respective station and “Qty” is the total 

number of RB-Ms to be delivered to the station, such that, 45601 is the 1st of 2 delivered to Little Creek. 

 First six RB-Ms (hulls # 45601-6) designated for Operational Testing and Evaluation (OT&E).

Total (39 + 30) = 69 RB-Ms delivered to CG stations by end of FY 2011 

KEY EVENTS 

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Ordered 39 RB-Ms (hulls #67-105) 

• Received 22 (hulls #15-36) RB-Ms and supported a total of 36 delivered RB-Ms 

• Completed OT&E. Moved from LRIP into full production, attained Initial Operating Capability 

with delivery of the first RB-M following a Full Production Decision 

• Reached a full production rate of at least 30 boats per year by the end of the fiscal year 

FY 2011 planned accomplishments include: 

• Continue procurement of RB-Ms. 

• Receive 33 RB-Ms and support delivered RB-Ms (see table above) 

 

FY 2012 planned accomplishments include: 

• Order 40 RB-Ms. 

Significant Changes

FY 2012 is the second year of full production (which is a rate of at least 30 RB-Ms per year) with 

planned deliveries of 34 RB-Ms. Funding at current levels minimizes production costs and facilitates

National Security Cutter (NSC) $77,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request will complete funding for 

NSC #5. 

The Legend Class NSCs will replace the 

fleet of 378’ High Endurance Cutters 

(WHEC), built between 1967 and 1972, 

which are operating beyond their 

economic service life, experiencing 

decreased operational availability, and 

increasingly more expensive to maintain. 

The NSC provides enhanced capability, 

essential for prosecuting missions in 

today’s high-threat environment. 

The NSC is capable of extended on-scene 

presence, operating in the harshest maritime environments, long transits and out-of-hemisphere 

deployments. It is equipped with communication, navigation and surveillance systems that allow the 

cutter and its deployed air and organic boat assets to operate worldwide and conduct a daily search of up 

to 56,000 square miles throughout the maritime domain. The NSC enables the Coast Guard to serve as a 

leader in maritime incident response, taking action against all hazards and threats in every ocean and all 

environments. 

The NSC conducts patrols on the high seas and coastal approaches employing a robust command and 

control capability for the task unit commander or on-scene commander. It is capable of performing all 

maritime DHS missions including overseas operations with the U.S. Navy and partner nations. When 

engaged in these missions, the NSC is capable of detecting, classifying, and tracking surface Targets of 

Interest (TOI) in sizes ranging from makeshift rafts to large commercial vessels, and air TOIs as small as 

single-engine civil aircraft. 

Leveraging updated technology, the NSC possesses improved capabilities over the legacy 378’ High 

Endurance Cutter. It has a range of approximately 12,000 nautical miles (nm) and an underway 

endurance of 60 days. The cutter is capable of patrolling alone or with multiple U.S. Coast Guard 

vessels, U.S. Navy vessels, or vessels from other nations’ navies or coast guards. 

Once each NSC is completely outfitted it will have the capability to: 

• Provide anti-terrorism/force protection; 

• Carry and deploy aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV); 

• Carry and deploy multiple small boats (e.g., Cutter Boat Over the Horizon (CB-OTH) and Cutter 

Boat Long Range Interceptor (CB-LRI)); 

• Conduct boat and flight operations safely and efficiently in up to Sea State 5 (wave heights of 8-

12 feet and wind 21- 25 knots); 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

National Security Cutter (NSC) $77,000

• Support intelligence operations through greatly improved intelligence gathering and Command, 

Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) 

capabilities, including use of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF), all of 

which enhance the NSC’s self-defense capabilities and facilitate seamless operations with 

networked DHS, DoD, and national assets; 

• Maintain presence and perform command and control operations in Chemical, Biological, or 

Radiological contaminated environments for up to 36 hours; 

• Operate with U.S. Navy Battle Groups with a maximum sustained speed of 28 knots.

Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) $25,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will continue pre-acquisition design work for the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) class, 

intended to replace the Coast Guard’s fleet of Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC). The acquisition 

strategy for this program awards multiple Preliminary & Contract Designs (P&CDs) to competing 

contractors. From the P&CD efforts, one design will be chosen for detailed design development. 

FY2012 funding will facilitate P&CD evaluations, preparing the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 

Detailed Design and Construction contract award, OPC Project Office technical and project support, 

OPC Ship Design Team support, completing various trade-off studies and requirements validations, lifecycle cost estimating support, logistics, and training studies. 

The OPC will resolve current gaps in capabilities and capacity stemming from the aging 270’ and 210’ 

Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC) which have decreased reliability and increased operating costs. 

The current WMEC fleet, which comprises the majority of the Coast Guard deepwater fleet, has either 

passed its end-of-service life, or is rapidly approaching it. The OPC will possess the capabilities 

necessary to perform WMEC statutory missions, providing the endurance, seakeeping, and persistent 

presence to complete missions throughout the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and coastal approaches. 

OPC will be deployed as part of a layered border security strategy that gives the Coast Guard and its law 

enforcement and military partners time to react to emerging maritime threats. OPC will replace the 

existing 210’ and 270’ MECs and be designed to conduct assigned missions through a full-spectrum of 

climate and environmental conditions. Advanced communications capabilities will facilitate 

interoperability with DHS, State and local responders as well as DoD and international partners. 

Updated command and control systems will aid in the detection, classification, and identification of 

targets of interest (TOIs), while the use of well-equipped aircraft and small boats coupled with increased 

cutter speed will allow greater capacity for intercept and TOI prosecution.

Fast Response Cutter (FRC) $358,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds production of six FRC 

hulls, associated contract line items, and 

project management costs. Procuring six 

FRCs maximizes the production line and 

generates a cost savings of nearly $5 

million per hull. In addition to production 

of six FRCs, this funding also procures the 

Reprocurement Data and Licensing 

Package (RDLP) required for the Coast 

Guard to re-compete the FRC production 

contract in order to maximize cost 

efficiencies. Continued acquisition of 

FRCs is critical to replace the aging 110’ 

patrol boat fleet. 

The planned fleet of 58 FRCs will conduct primarily the same missions as the 110’ patrol boats they are 

replacing. In addition, the FRC will have several increased capabilities enhancing overall mission 

execution. FRC is designed for rapid response, with approximately a 28 knot speed capability, and will 

typically operate in the coastal zones. Examples of common missions that FRCs will complete include 

SAR, Migrant Interdiction, Drug Interdiction, and Ports Waterways and Coastal Security. 

FRCs will provide enhanced capabilities over the 110’s, including improved C4ISR capability and 

interoperability; stern launch and recovery (up through sea state 4) of a 40 knot, Over-the-Horizon, 7m 

cutter boat; a remote operated, gyro stabilized MK38 Mod 2, 25mm main gun; improved sea keeping; 

and enhanced crew habitability. 

Additional capabilities include; 

• The ability to conduct shipboard migrant interdiction evolutions, including detection, tracking, 

interdiction, embarkation and disembarkation, rescue administrative processing, and retention 

onboard. 

• The ability to patrol areas where suspected illegal migrant, drug, or fisheries activities may 

occur, and dispatch boarding teams to suspect vessels and subsequently escort them to their final 

disposition. 

• The ability to search for and locate and recover distressed mariners, provide medical assistance 

or evacuation, and provide safe transport. It will also provide the ability to control damage to 

distressed vessels and other property, provide dewatering equipment and mechanical assistance, 

and tow stricken vessels.

Cutter Boats $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request continues funding for production of multi-mission cutter small boats that will be fielded on 

the Coast Guard’s newly acquired National Security Cutter. This request funds production of two Cutter 

Boat Long Range Interceptor Mark II (CB-LRI Mark II), hulls #1&2, and four Cutter Boats Over-theHorizon Mark IV (CB-OTH Mark IV), hulls #6-9, along with project and technical support. 

The CB-LRI Mark II is an 11-meter (36-foot) cutter boat carried by NSCs and, potentially, by the future 

OPC. The CB-LRI Mark II provides enhanced capabilities compared to legacy cutter boats, such as 

higher speeds, extended range, better sea-keeping, and greatly improved communications and 

connectivity to the parent cutter. The CB-OTH Mark IV7 is a 7-meter (25-foot) cutter boat that also 

provides enhanced capabilities compared to 

legacy cutter boats. The CB-OTH Mark IV is 

both stern launch/recovery, and side-davit 

launch/recovery, capable. 

The CB-OTH Mark IV operates beyond sight of 

the parent cutter (over the horizon) to deploy 

boarding parties, pursue and interdict TOI, and 

perform SAR operations. 

Leading up to selection of the final CB-OTH 

Mark IV design, there will be a “Boat Off” 

competition between competing boat 

manufacturers. In this acquisition strategy, the CG will award a contract for construction of one boat to 

four different manufacturers, with options for full production. The CG will then determine which design 

(of the boats built) best meets its mission needs, and this design will be selected for full production. 

Funding for CB-OTH Mark IV hull #1 includes the cost of procuring the boats for this competition. CBOTH Mark IV hull #2 and beyond will be produced by the manufacturer that wins the “Boat Off” 

competition. Prior-year funding will be used to construct CB-OTH Mark IV hulls #2-5 after the “Boat 

Off” competition is complete. 

Significant Accomplishments in FY 2010:

• Completed Design, Engineering & Spec. Development for CB-OTH Mark IV and LRI Mark II 

FY 2011 Planned Accomplishments: 

• Production & Testing CB-OTH Mark IV # 1 (includes “Boat Off” competition hulls)

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP) on 

five 270’ WMECs. Three of these MEPs will be completed 

in FY 2012 with the remaining two completed the following 

year. This work includes replacement of major equipment 

and systems that are the primary source of degraded 

operational readiness, such as the main propulsion control 

and monitoring system, small boat davits, oily water 

separators, air conditioning, refrigeration, and evaporators. 

This work will be performed at the Coast Guard Yard in 

Curtis Bay, MD. The MEP project includes both the 210’ 

and 270’ WMECs. The last 210’ WMEC MEP was 

completed in FY 2010, leaving work on 270’ WMECs as 

the focus for the remainder of this project. 

The MEP project is intended as a bridging strategy for the 

WMEC fleet, until it is replaced by the OPC fleet. This 

funding will improve the overall operational readiness and 

mission effectiveness of the 270’ cutter class. Each 270’ 

WMEC provides 185 days of mission performance; a loss of 

that capability reduces operational hours and may adversely 

affect mission performance. Additionally, the MEP will 

improve 270 WMEC operating and cost performance by replacing equipment that has the highest failure 

rates with more reliable equipment. Replacing obsolete equipment will yield greater standardization, 

capability, and reliability across the two WMEC classes. Post-MEP WMECs have an average equipment 

reliability rate (in terms of decreased number of major casualties) that is nearly double that of pre-MEP 

WMECs. 

MECs have helicopter and small boat capabilities that support operations in the coastal and offshore 

areas of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

CGNR 6017 Helicopter Replacement $18,300

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding request replaces one MH-60T Jayhawk Medium Range Recovery (MRR) aircraft (CGNR 

6017), lost during a crash in Washington state in 2010. The aircraft will be replaced with a retired Navy 

SH-60F that will be converted to the Coast Guard MH-60T configuration. This conversion includes 

installation of a new avionics suite and an Electro Optical Infra-Red (EO/IR) Sensor system (ESS). 

The Navy's H-60 Sundown Plan has enabled the Coast Guard to acquire SH-60Fs that are scheduled for 

retirement but have usable structural service life. The Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center developed 

industrial processes to convert SH-60Fs into the MH-60T configuration, and recently completed this 

conversion with CGNR 6043. 

With this and one replacement funded in the FY 2010 Disaster/War Supplemental Appropriation, the 

fleet will be returned to its full strength of 42 H-60s.

Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) HC-144 $129,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds two of 36 planned HC-144A Maritime Patrol 

Aircraft (MPA) airframes, along with up to 5 Mission System Pallets 

(MSPs), Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), and initial spare parts 

and manufacturing supplies for MPAs and MSPs. These funds will 

help address the Coast Guard’s MPA flight hour gap by providing 

2,400 MPA hours each year. 

The first eighteen HC-144 aircraft will be stationed at the following 

locations: 

Mobile, AL (Aviation Training Center & Operational) Elizabeth City, NC (Product Line) 

Miami, FL Cape Cod, MA 

Corpus Christi, TX 

The HC-144A Ocean Sentry is the Coast Guard’s medium-range surveillance (MRS) and transport fixed 

air capability, complementing the long-range, heavy-lift, four-engine HC-130 aircraft. It replaces and 

enhances the current capability provided by the HU-25 Falcon. The two-engine high-efficiency 

turboprop design enables extended surveillance, quick response capability, at a relatively low cost per 

flight hour. The HC-144A is used to perform Search and Rescue missions; enforce laws and treaties, 

including illegal drug interdiction and marine environmental protection; perform homeland security and 

International Ice Patrol missions, as well as assist with cargo and personnel transport. It 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. The asset delivers maritime domain awareness essential to achieving 

mission success. 

The modern cockpit design provides pilots with superior situational awareness, reduced workload, and 

increased safety, allowing them to better concentrate on mission execution. Human factors engineering 

is also evident in the tactical workstations of the MSP. System operators can collect, compile, and 

transfer vital information in real time to operational commanders on ship or shore, hundreds of miles 

from the aircraft. Satellite radios provide clear and uninterrupted voice and data exchange. The 

Automatic Identification System (AIS) allows crews to rapidly identify and monitor vessels, adding a 

robust layer to border security. As demonstrated during the response to Deepwater Horizon, the multimode radar can detect differences in backscatter between clear water and oil-covered water due to the 

dampening effects of oil on small wind-generated waves, while the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) 

sensor can detect the small temperature variation between clear and oil-covered water. The Common 

Operating Picture (COP) provides the capability to navigate to previously-marked pollution areas and 

update them based on current C4ISR and visual indications. Unlike the HU-25, the HC-144A has a rear 

ramp to facilitate easy roll-on/roll-off provisions from the cargo bay. This quick-change feature allows 

ground crews to re-configure the aircraft between maritime patrol, medical evacuation, and 

passenger/freight transport. Its medium size and high-lift wing design allow take-off and landing on

HH-60 Conversion Projects $56,100

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding request continues the 

modernization of the Coast Guard’s 

fleet of 4011 H-60 Jayhawk, Medium 

Range Recovery (MRR) helicopters as 

these helicopters rotate through 

Programmed Depot Maintenance at the 

CG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). 

The H-60 Conversion Project is 

comprised of four discrete segments 

and two service life extension efforts. 

Each segment consists of upgrades to and modernization of aging components and sub-systems that 

enhance the aircraft’s overall capability. In conjunction with prior year appropriations, funds will allow 

the continued implementation of two of the segments: Avionics and Electro-Optical Infrared (EO/IR) 

Sensor System Upgrades (ESS). It further allows for development and testing of the Radar Sensor 

System (RSS) that will replace the weather-search radar with a more capable multi-mode surface search 

radar system. The Avionics Upgrade replaces obsolete MH-60J avionics with modernized equipment 

and aligns configuration with the DoD Common Avionics Architecture System as well as the Coast 

Guard’s H-65 helicopter. After installation, the avionics upgrades result in redesignation of the aircraft 

to MH-60T, include Multi-Functional Display screens, a radar altimeter with verbal low altitude alarm 

and Traffic Collision Avoidance System to enhance safety during night hovering and increase pilots’ 

overall situational awareness. The ESS segment replaces the obsolete Forward Looking Infra-Red 

(FLIR) sensor with an enhanced EO/IR sensor common to all Coast Guard helicopter platforms. In 

addition, the funding allows for necessary Service Life Extension Program work items, including 

electrical re-wiring and dynamic component replacement. 

H-60 helicopters are stationed out of the following locations:

Mobile, AL (ATC) San Diego, CA Elizabeth City, NC (PL & Ops) 

Sitka, AK Clearwater, FL Astoria, OR 

Kodiak, AK Cape Cod, MA OPBAT 

ATC: Aviation Training Center 

PL: Product Line 

Ops: Operations

The larger and more powerful all-weather Sikorsky H-60 Jayhawk is the Coast Guard’s medium-range 

recovery (MRR) rotary wing air capability, complementing the Coast Guard’s H-65 short-range 

recovery helicopter. It has been in operation since 1990. The MRR can perform surveillance missions 

and provides the critical means to detect, classify, identify and prosecute in order to interdict drugs or 

 

11 The current fleet of H-60s includes 40 aircraft, accounting for the recent losses of CGNR-6028 and CGNR-6017. FY 2010 

supplemental appropriation (P.L. 111-212) funds the replacement of CGNR-6028. The FY 2012 President’s budget requests 

funding to replace CGNR-6017, restoring the fleet to 42 aircraft.

migrants, protect living marine resource, relay the location of oil-covered surfaces and enforce safety 

and security zones. Because of the extended-capacity fuel tanks, the H-60 is often called upon for Search 

and Rescue missions far offshore. It is capable of flying up to 300 miles offshore and picking up six or 

more survivors and returning safely to shore.

Significant Changes

FY 2012 funding reflects the anticipated procurement schedule. Current analysis determined that many 

dynamic components (helicopter blades, etc.) slated for recapitalization beginning in FY 2013 are 

reaching the end of the service life more quickly than anticipated. Consequently, recapitalization of 

these components began in FY 2011 using prior year funding, and will continue until FY 2017, as part 

of this project.

HH-65 Conversion and Sustainment Projects $24,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding request continues to 

modernize the Coast Guard’s 

current fleet of 10012 H-65 

helicopters, extending their service 

life through 2027. The H-65 

Conversion and Sustainment 

Project is comprised of six discrete 

segments. Each of the six discrete 

segments consists of upgrades to 

and modernization of aging components and sub-systems that enhance the aircraft’s overall capability. 

The first three segments have been funded. This request continues to fund a portion of the production 

and development of two project segments: Discrete segment 4, Obsolete Component Modernization; and 

Discrete Segment 6, Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) and Cockpit Modernization. The 

upgrades replace analog with digital technology and provide cockpit architecture common to other Coast 

Guard assets and DoD, enhancing system interface and sensor integration. Logistics support elements 

required to operate and maintain the modernized H-65 are embedded within each of the discrete 

segments, including initial sparing, training aids and support, technical data, support equipment and 

supply support. 

H-65 helicopters are stationed out of the following locations: 

Mobile, AL (ATC) Barbers Point, HI Atlantic City, NJ 

Kodiak, AK Waukegan, IL (AIRFAC) Humboldt Bay, OR 

Los Angeles, CA New Orleans, LA North Bend, OR

The H-65 Dolphin is the Coast Guard’s short-range recovery helicopter (SRR), which has been in 

operation since 1984. Due to its size and weight, the H-65 integrates with the NSC, OPC and all current 

Major Cutters. When the project is completed, the fully upgraded H-65 will be referred to as the SRR 

Helicopter. It will be a much more capable and interoperable asset with increased aircraft performance, 

state-of-the-market avionics and surveillance equipment, and provisions for weapons. The SRR extends

the surveillance capability of the cutter over the horizon and provides the critical means to detect, 

classify, identify and prosecute in order to interdict drugs or migrants, protect living marine resource, 

relay the location of oil-covered surfaces and icebergs and enforce safety and security zones. The H-65 

is also a critical Search and Rescue asset and further provides support for repair of Aids to Navigation. 

PROJECT HISTORY 

During the first segment, the original fleet of 95 HH-65B model aircraft received new, more powerful 

engines, resulting in redesignation as HH-65C. The second segment increased the fleet size by seven 

aircraft to support the Coast Guard’s newly assumed Nation Capital Region Air Defense (NCRAD) 

mission. This segment was funded outside the H-65 Conversion and Sustainment Project. The third 

segment, Airborne Use of Force (AUF), provided upgrades to the communications sub-systems to 

provide interoperability with other Homeland Security components and local response agencies. 

Additionally, the aircraft were configured and pre-wired to allow for the installation and removal of 

special AUF mission equipment (e.g., weapons, armor, Electro-Optical Infra-Red (EO/IR), Heads Up 

Display), resulting in designation of these aircraft as MH-65C. This discrete segment was also funded 

outside the H-65 Conversion and Sustainment Project and will be completed in FY 2012.

HC-130H Conversion and Sustainment Projects $62,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding request continues to 

modernize the Coast Guard’s fleet of HC130H Long Range Surveillance (LRS) 

aircraft. The project is comprised of five 

discrete segments. The first segment, 

Surface Search Radar is near completion. 

This request funds portions of three other 

segments of the HC-130H conversion/ 

sustainment acquisition as follows: 

(1) HC-130H Avionics I Upgrade (A1U) 

(2) Center Wing Box (CWB) replacement 

(3) Mission System Sustainment/Upgrade 

Prototype installation and test of the new digital cockpit as part of the Avionics I Upgrade, will continue 

and include multi-function displays that will provide aircrews with increased situational awareness, 

reduced cockpit workload, and replace non-sustainable components. Additionally, funding will be used 

to order A1U digital cockpit components and will provide for their installation. Prior year funding was 

used to purchase six CWBs, all of which will be delivered in FY 2011; FY 2012 funding will be used to 

begin installation of those CWBs. FY 2012 funding will also be applied toward Non-Recurring 

Engineering (NRE) work for the Mission System Sustainment/Upgrade and the second-generation 

avionics upgrade (A2U). 

The HC-130H is a major contributor to overall performance of the Coast Guard's statutory missions with 

specific contributions to Maritime Law Enforcement, Maritime Response, Defense Operations, and 

Marine Transportation System Management. HC-130H aircraft are stationed out of the following 

locations:

Kodiak, AK Barbers Point, HI Elizabeth City, NC (PL) 

Sacramento, CA Clearwater, FL 

PL: Product Line 

Various models of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules have served as the Coast Guard’s long range 

surveillance (LRS) aircraft since 1959, and the current HC-130H fleet has been in service since the early 

1980s. The HC-130H is powered by four Allison T56-A15 engines driving Hamilton Standard fourbladed propellers. When all fuel tanks are filled, the aircraft is capable of extended range (>2600 miles 

in low-altitude flight). With reduced fuel loads, the aircraft can carry a 40,000 pound payload. A large 

cargo compartment area, easily accessed through a large rear ramp, can accommodate a wide range of 

cargo. The aircraft’s high-lift capability allows takeoff and landings from short, unimproved runways. 

With its flight-management and sensor systems, the HC-130H is a very capable maritime patrol aircraft, 

equipped with a powerful surface search radar that can detect surface targets from over 50 miles away. 

Once closer to a target, the sensor operator uses the Forward-Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) and Electro 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

HC-130H Conversion and Sustainment Projects $62,000

Optical (EO) sensor to classify and identify the target, even in night or low-light conditions. A flightmanagement system that includes an automatic-pilot and precise GPS navigation equipment allows the 

pilot to concentrate on mission management. Large scanner windows on either side of the cargo 

compartment provide aerial observers with a bird’s eye view of the search areas in favorable visual 

conditions. The LRS performs surveillance missions and provides the critical means to detect, classify 

and identify targets. This information is shared with “end game” capabilities to interdict drugs or 

migrants, protect living marine resources, and enforce economic, safety and security zones. The HC130H 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. The asset delivers maritime domain awareness 

essential to achieving mission success.

Government Program Management $35,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request provides funding for government program management and oversight. Program 

management funds provide support for government administration, technical reviews, technology 

analysis, performance monitoring of the program, Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E), transition 

management, and risk management. This activity provides support to Coast Guard acquisition projects, 

and is critical as the Coast Guard has assumed the role of Lead System Integrator. 

The Coast Guard is responsible for ensuring the products delivered by contractors and suppliers meet 

performance specifications. This requires sound management policies and the processes needed to 

implement them. Specifically, program management funds provide the Coast Guard with the capability 

to protect the government’s interests during the acquisition and ensure contractors and suppliers deliver 

required products and services and meet prescribed terms and conditions. The Coast Guard 

accomplishes this management and oversight through staff located at the Program Management Office 

and at other contractor/government sites. Personnel working on acquisition projects include a mix of 

military, civilian, and support contractors experienced in all phases of large, complex acquisition 

programs. 

Technology is constantly changing and several technology refreshes or upgrades are planned over the 

projected duration of numerous Coast Guard acquisition projects. Government program management 

personnel analyze the capability and applicability of these replacement technologies. Support contractors 

assist in this effort by gathering and assembling data that facilitates informed government decisionmaking. 

Government program management funding also supports performance measurement of major 

acquisition project contracts. This is accomplished through the use of a variety of tools such as the 

Earned Value Management System (EVMS), periodic reports to DHS and Congress, and the Acquisition 

Performance Management System (APMS). EVMS permits the Coast Guard to closely follow cost and 

schedule performance of the projects by asset, while the reports and APMS data allow for periodic 

internal and external reviews of program cost, schedule, and performance criteria. 

Government program management funding also supports OT&E done with the U.S. Navy’s Commander 

Operational Test and Evaluation Forces (COMPOPTEVFOR) for the execution of project operational 

testing. While Developmental Test and Evaluation (DT&E) is the responsibility of the contractor, 

OT&E is an inherently governmental responsibility. 

Government program management funding supports activities associated with the transition of Coast 

Guard’s assets from acquisition to operation, including delivery, provision of logistics, training and 

other services necessary to ensure seamless integration into the operational fleet.

Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) $17,140

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds system engineering design and integration work across the Coast Guard’s major 

recapitalization projects. This request impacts every aspect of the Coast Guard enterprise—

encompassing the integration of human capital management; information technology; capital investment 

planning for air and surface platforms; logistics; command, control, computers, intelligence, 

surveillance, and reconnaissance; and most importantly - the fleet operator. SE&I supports the following 

activities: 

• Systems Engineering 

 System architecture development 

 Operational performance analysis 

 Cost reduction efforts 

 Enterprise-level requirements management support 

• Enterprise-level system integration 

• Interface management 

• Configuration management 

• Technical data management 

• Technical assessment 

• Decision analysis support 

SE&I is essential for interoperability at the unit, system, and organizational levels, both internal and 

external to the Coast Guard. Effective systems integration ensures systems operate in a manner that 

minimizes the cost of asset acquisition, operations and maintenance, and mitigates risk inherent to a 

complex acquisition program. SE&I is also intended to maximize the ability of Coast Guard assets to 

operate in concert with each other, and with those of partner agencies (e.g., DoD, other government 

agencies, and state and local responders). Furthermore, by leveraging common system engineering 

processes, tools, standards, and Coast Guard infrastructure to the greatest extent possible, SE&I 

minimizes major system acquisition life-cycle costs. 

The Coast Guard is fielding an integrated system of aviation, cutter, and shore assets that are 

interoperable through a comprehensive Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, 

Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) detection and communications structure. Without SE&I, 

these assets and sub-systems might be implemented in an inefficient and ineffective manner. For 

example, one aspect of SE&I involves establishing a methodology for managing requirements 

decomposition. Rather than have each acquisition program create “stove-piped” processes, databases 

and decision criteria, SE&I funds a common requirements database architecture that facilitates rapid 

searches for common requirements, systems, and interfaces between assets. These also facilitate better 

alignment with federal enterprise architecture mandates. In addition, SE&I also funds modeling and 

simulation of capabilities across all new asset acquisitions. This provides better decisions from a holistic 

perspective to deliver required capabilities as efficiently as possible. SE&I emphasizes a CG-wide view 

of each individual project, yielding recognition of corresponding upgrades needed across other platforms 

and programs. 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

Systems Engineering and Integration (SE&I) $17,140

System engineering evaluations will be performed across system, subsystem, and component levels to 

analyze products and capabilities for interoperability, integration, modularity, and system commonality 

for designs and for all proposed engineering changes. These efforts culminate in the ability to determine 

and document predicted total system performance for numerous configurations and scenarios. Systems 

engineering has the responsibility for the overall technical configuration development processes. 

Because the Coast Guard has become the Lead System Integrator, a process started in FY 2008, SE&I 

also delivers an integrated master schedule across programs which are needed to reduce government, 

and or contractor delay costs, as the interdependency between multiple contracts becomes a Coast Guard 

responsibility. SE&I also funds an integrated data environment that allows all stakeholders access to 

appropriate documents as each program, technical authority, and contractor works through engineering 

processes.

C4ISR $34,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request includes funding for the Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, 

Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) hardware and software design of the OPC with modifications 

to design of new MPAs, MSPs, NSCs, and FRCs consistent with the ongoing transition to a federated 

(Coast Guard) C4ISR design (Segment 2) that is scalable in useable modules. Interoperable and 

integrated C4ISR is essential to the efficient and effective operation of these assets. These cutters and 

aircraft are critical to the execution of the CG’s statutory missions and FYHSP Programs. FY 2012 

funding will enable the following activities: 

• OPC-Specific Design. A tailored software and hardware baseline will address OPC-specific 

requirements, using the NSC C4ISR design as a starting point. This design effort will allow for 

interoperability of the OPC with other new cutters and air assets, as well as between DOD and other 

DHS assets.

• Use of Navy Developed Sensors and Systems. Cost sharing and alignment with DOD weapons 

systems will decrease life-cycle costs of Coast Guard systems. Efforts to incorporate and leverage 

DOD systems allow the NSC to deploy with the Navy with clearance to use its weapons. As DOD 

updates its systems, integration with the relevant updated systems will require corresponding 

adjustments. 

• Labs. Lab work is necessary for the Coast Guard to continue development of the C4ISR suite for 

OPCs and other existing cutters and aircraft that are still in production (e.g., NSCs, MPAs). 

Additionally the labs will facilitate the Coast Guard systems integrator (SI) role and provide proper 

oversight, integration, and testing. They also reduce lifecycle costs by controlling configuration 

management, decrease impacts to users by reducing or eliminating tests on operational platforms, 

and reduce schedule by providing a dedicated testing and analysis venue. Labs include: 

Lab Location ..............Purpose of Lab 

- Camden, NJ .............Communications development 

- Charleston, SC .........NSC Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) production 

integration and test facility 

- Eagan, MN ...............Aircraft mission system pallet development 

- Lowell, MA ............Emissions security (TEMPEST) certification test facility 

- Moorestown, NJ.......Maritime Domain Awareness Center (MDAC) – asset baseline 

integration/development; there is also a separate Government asset 

baseline acceptance lab in Moorestown. 

- Portsmouth, VA .......C4I software support & legacy integration 

• Execution Support. In FY 2011, the C4ISR project will deliver a federated system for better Coast 

Guard Management to facilitate assumption of SI roles. OPC C4ISR acquisition will have multiple 

vendors and contracts requiring increased oversight. As the Coast Guard continues to increase 

oversight and manage integration of multiple vendors, execution support is needed to continue to

assist government personnel in overseeing software development, synthesizing requirements 

decomposition, and executing other program management functions. 

• Information Assurance (IA). This includes updates to ensure C4ISR systems comply with 

continuously evolving DHS and DOD standards regarding IA. 

• Engineering Change Proposals/Updates. These efforts provide updated software and hardware 

designs for assets currently in production. Design updates are needed due to external impacts such as 

interoperability architecture changes, diminished manufacturing sources, hardware changes, and 

interface changes.

CG-LIMS $6,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request supports the delivery of the Coast Guard Logistics Information Management System (CGLIMS). This funding will continue CG-LIMS development and phased deployment to Coast Guard 

operational assets and support facilities. Specifically, the funding will support Initial Operating 

Capability of the Configuration and Maintenance Management module of CG-LIMS, along with 

development of the Supply Chain Management module. 

CG-LIMS will directly support the Coast Guard goal of a single, unified logistics system that improves 

mission readiness, operational effectiveness and decision making by enabling decision support at the 

enterprise and tactical level. CG-LIMS will adhere to the Mission Support Business Model, providing: 

Configuration Management; Total Asset Visibility; Bi-Level Maintenance; and a single point of 

accountability through Product Line Managers. In addition, CG-LIMS will allow the organization to 

satisfy logistics-related financial management requirements of the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990 

and the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 by capturing financial data at the 

transaction level and providing transparent integration with the Coast Guard core accounting system. 

CG-LIMS will be the authoritative source for the configuration of all Coast Guard assets. It will enable 

product line management by providing total asset visibility throughout the enterprise. It will be the tool 

through which all maintenance is managed, and by which the enterprise supply chain is driven. All 

technical information relating to Coast Guard assets, including technical publications and manuals, 

drawings, maintenance procedure cards, and maintained raw data will be organized and managed in the 

system. The components of configuration, maintenance, supply, and technical information will be tightly 

integrated and configured to allow efficient execution of a standardized business process. As mission 

support is executed throughout the Coast Guard, CG-LIMS will interface with finance, procurement, and 

human resources so that enterprise business needs are met in a standardized manner. CG-LIMS will also 

reach out to systems beyond the Coast Guard to execute integrated logistics with other government 

agencies and vendors. 

CG-LIMS is planned for phased implementation by segments. Segment 1 will start with configuration 

and maintenance management functionality for the HC 144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) aviation 

product line; once deployed to that product line, Initial Operating Capability (IOC) will be declared. 

Immediately following IOC, Segment 1 will be deployed to other asset product lines. CG-LIMS will 

continue to be deployed by segments across the enterprise; Full Operational Capability (FOC) will be 

declared when the last segment, Segment 5, is deployed to all product lines. Deployment of Segment 5 

will then continue across the enterprise with CG-LIMS replacing legacy databases such as the Asset 

Logistics Management Information System, Fleet Logistics System, and Shore Asset Management 

System.

Adhering to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the NAIS project has completed a 

Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), dated October 6, 2006. The proposed action 

analyzed in the PEIS is the broad scope of implementation of the NAIS project. As supported by the 

analysis in the PEIS, the NAIS Project Manager decided to implement the project using the preferred 

alternative: a combination of coverage mechanisms, including a combination of collocated and newly 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification 

Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) $5,000

built shore-based Radio Frequency (RF) sites for short-range AIS coverage. Implementation of the 

proposed NAIS project through the Preferred Alternative ensures that the Coast Guard satisfies the 

purpose and need for NAIS. The Preferred Alternative implementation approach offers siting flexibility 

that will help mitigate or minimize the potential for environmental impacts as well as allow the Coast 

Guard to maximize the use of existing assets to meet coverage requirements. This decision is 

documented in a Record of Decision issued on October 27, 2006. 

The PEIS provides a general level of analysis of alternatives and environmental impacts and serves as a 

top-tier environmental analysis of the general project of installing a nationwide AIS-based vessel 

detection, identification, tracking, and communication system. As a continuation of the environmental 

planning process, the Coast Guard is conducting site-specific environmental analysis coincident with the 

project implementation as specific sites are identified. All sites selected and upgraded with the NAIS 

permanent solution capability will be surveyed and likely will be categorically excluded from further 

analysis under NEPA.

Rescue 21 $65,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds the continuation of the Full Rate Production contract with General Dynamics C4 

Systems (GDC4S), in addition to deployment in Alaska, Western Rivers, and on Coast Guard vessels. 

The Rescue 21 project is replacing the U.S. 

Coast Guard’s legacy National Distress and 

Response System (NDRS) equipment, which 

enhances the Coast Guard’s mission execution through improved communications, 

command and control capabilities in the U.S. 

coastal zone. The basic NDRS components 

include radios, transceivers, towers for antennas, and an interconnecting network. It is 

the foundation for coastal SAR (search and 

rescue), and is a critical enabler of efficient 

and effective command and control for all 

missions in coastal zones. As of December 

2010, Rescue 21 is standing watch and 

saving lives along approximately 36,985 

miles of U.S. coastline. 

Benefits of Rescue 21 include: 

 Eliminates many existing communication coverage gaps ("dead zones") while ensuring continuous, 

enhanced VHF-FM marine radio coverage out to 20 nautical miles from shore within the coastal zone; 

 Features digital voice recording capability with immediate playback, improving the ability to review 

and resolve garbled or unclear transmissions - critical to search and rescue planning and response; 

 Improves direction finding capability for more timely response to mariners in distress and an ability to 

distinguish “hoax” calls from actual distress calls; 

 Adds four voice channels (from one to five), allowing watch standers to conduct multiple operations, 

while offering protected (secure) communications for homeland security missions when needed; 

 Provides Digital Selective Calling capability to meet the international Global Maritime Distress and 

Safety System (GMDSS) requirements for Sea Area 1 per the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) treaty; 

 Enhances Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) by maintaining communications with mariners, and 

facilitating the timely flow of information between the Coast Guard and other government and law 

enforcement agencies. 

Significant Accomplishments in FY 2010: Rescue 21 Ground Subsystem (GSS) Deployment – Full 

Rate Production (FRP) Group III. Completed deployment in the Northeast (Sectors Southeastern and

Interagency Operations Centers (IOC) $3,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds the continued deployment of Interagency Operations Center (IOC) sensor 

management capabilities to provide participating port partners with shared access to existing cameras 

and radars. 

The IOC project has been established to implement the mandates of the SAFE Port Act by providing the 

capability necessary to enable designated locations (e.g., high priority ports) to function in an IOC 

context. IOCs and SCCs (Sector Command Centers), though interrelated, are conceptually distinct. IOCs 

enable collaboration to achieve a “whole of government” response that accounts for interagency 

objectives and variable lines of authority. In order to meet the requirements set forth in the SAFE Port 

Act, the Coast Guard is focusing the IOC acquisition on the following capabilities: 

WatchKeeper Information Management (IM) processes and systems, which link information with 

operations in the context of daily decision making, situational awareness, operations monitoring, rulesbased processing, and joint planning; and 

Integration of Existing Sensors and tools necessary to enable IOCs to access and manage local sensor 

resources. Establish enterprise sensor coverage where needed, to best share information and 

establish/maintain maritime domain awareness. 

Specific expected outcomes from the IOC project include: 

• Establishment of IOCs to meet the mandate of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 - IOCs will provide the 

capability to: (a) coordinate routine and emergent interagency planning and information sharing; (b) 

monitor current port activities and identify anomalies from planned and normal events; and (c) 

initiate a coordinated response. 

• Development and deployment of the Information Management System (a.k.a. WatchKeeper) - to 

improve the capability to see, understand, and share tactical information critical to security and 

interagency coordination in vulnerable ports and coastal areas. 

• IOC Sensor Management - to provide an adaptable network and actively monitor activities within 

critical ports, coastal infrastructure, and waterways. 

Significant Accomplishments in FY 2010: 

• Completed Operational Test & Evaluation on Watchkeeper. 

• Initiated releasing WatchKeeper v1.0 as a technology demonstrator to two training centers and other 

IOCs. 

• Completed IOC Sensor Management solution engineering to enhance maritime domain awareness 

and further expand information management capabilities. 

• Completed construction/outfitting of IOC New Orleans. 

FY 2011 Planned Accomplishments: 

• Continue release of WatchKeeper v1.0 as a technology demonstrator to IOCs at a rate of 

approximately one per month, establishing a national standard for information management, joint 

planning, and interagency operations. 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2012 Congressional Justification

• Complete construction/outfitting of IOC San Francisco. 

FY 2012 Planned Accomplishments: 

• Complete development and testing of IOC Sensor Management. 

• Complete WatchKeeper v1.0 release as a technology demonstrator. 

• Deploy IOC Sensor Management System as a pilot to select IOC(s), including interface to existing 

legacy sensors. 

Significant Changes

The first installment of WatchKeeper was delivered on schedule in FY 2009. Final developmental and 

operational testing is complete, and the project received approval to release WatchKeeper v1.0 as a 

technology demonstrator to 35 IOCs.

Station Menemsha Boathouse Rebuild $10,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will recapitalize the boathouse at Station Menemsha in Chilmark, Massachusetts. A fire in 

July 2010 destroyed Station Menemsha’s boathouse and pier, requiring temporary relocation of the 

station’s two small boats. Station Menemsha’s 25’ Response Boat-Small (RB-S) is required to operate 

out of a local marina, while the 47’ Motor Lifeboat (MLB) has been relocated to Sector Southeastern 

New England in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Station Menemsha’s area of responsibility includes 

Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay (off the coast of Massachusetts) and Block Island Sound (off the 

coast of Connecticut). Station Menemsha also covers out to 50 miles offshore of Martha’s Vineyard, 

Massachusetts. 

Station Menemsha is a multi-mission station that performs Search and Rescue (SAR), Law 

Enforcement, and other homeland security missions. It provides for the safety and security of a large 

local commercial fishing fleet and boating community. Since 2007, Station Menemsha saved and 

assisted over 290 people while conducting more than 300 SAR cases. With the absence of the 47’ MLB, 

the heavy weather mission for Station Menemsha’s area of responsibility is now shared by other local 

stations, with a reduction in heavy-weather SAR capacity. With the 25’ RB-S, Station Menemsha is 

operationally limited to performing missions in up to 6 foot seas without surf conditions, and wind 

speeds of less than 28 miles per hour. Failure to recapitalize the Station Menemsha facilities in FY 2012 

will permanently reduce heavy-weather SAR response capacity in this Area of Responsibility.

Station Fairport Recapitalization $16,400

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will recapitalize the small boat station house as well as the small boat haulout and 

maintenance bay at Station Fairport, Ohio, located on the shores of Lake Erie. Station Fairport was 

originally constructed in 1918, and the current facilities are inadequate to support the Coast Guard’s 

small boats assigned to the Station. The small boat haulout and boathouse cannot accommodate the 45’ 

RB-M or 47’ MLB, degrading readiness and increasing maintenance workload. This multi-mission 

station is designated as a heavy weather unit, and averages 100 SAR cases per year. Station Fairport is 

also responsible for conducting security patrols along the Canadian border, a nuclear power plant, and 

other critical maritime infrastructure.

TRACEN Petaluma Wastewater Treatment Plant $35,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will recapitalize the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) at the Coast Guard’s 

Training Center (TRACEN) in Petaluma, California. The on-site WWTP was originally constructed in 

the 1940s and no longer meets current environmental standards. Furthermore, the system has a limited 

capacity to treat approximately 800,000 gallons of wastewater per week, to prevent the release of 

untreated wastewater. The existing WWTP does not have sufficient storage and disposal capacity to 

support the number of personnel assigned to the base, and thus must be replaced.

Cape May Pier 4 Recapitalization $11,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will recapitalize Pier 4 at Cape May, NJ, which supports three 87’ Patrol Boats. The patrol 

boats assigned to this location are responsible for performing critical safety and security missions along 

the coastal Mid-Atlantic region, including ports waterways and coastal security, search and rescue and 

law enforcement. 

The pier has been maintained over the last 60 years, but has had serious damage from marine bore 

activity. Initially, the loading capacity of the pier was downgraded to pedestrian traffic only and limited 

cutter operations. The condition of Pier 4 has continued to deteriorate and has been recently condemned 

and is no longer safe for Coast Guard operations. As a result the patrol boats that moored there have 

been temporarily relocated. 

Pier 4 was constructed in 1935. The inboard 220 feet of the pier was replaced with new concrete 

sections in FY 2009. Based on inspections conducted prior to 2009, the replacement of the wooden 

section of the pier was planned for 2017. However, a more recent inspection of the pier revealed severe 

degradation of the piles and bracing at an accelerated rate, requiring immediate replacement. 

Specifically, the remaining wooden portion of Pier 4 has been destroyed by marine bore activity that has 

compromised the pier’s support structure. Maintaining suitable moorings for current and future cutters 

in Cape May is vital to carrying out Fifth Coast Guard District missions, and thus cannot be deferred 

beyond FY 2012.

Sector Corpus Christi Relocation $10,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will be used to accomplish a “build to suit” lease project through the General Services 

Administration to construct a hangar and command center facilities in Corpus Christi, TX. The Coast 

Guard’s requirements include a consolidated Coast Guard Air Station and Sector facility with the ability 

to hangar all assigned fixed wing aircraft. This request specifically funds the build-out of tenant 

improvements. 

The Coast Guard is currently located in a WWII-era Navy seaplane facility, Hangar 41, at Naval Station 

Corpus Christi, Texas. The 70-year old hangar is well past its service life and is in extremely poor 

material condition. In addition to deterioration of the structure, the space configuration within this 

hangar is functionally deficient, and cannot accommodate the Coast Guard’s maintenance and 

operational requirements. The current layout prohibits ready crew berthing in the vicinity of aircraft, 

resulting in longer times necessary to launch planes in response to Search and Rescue cases, and other 

critical homeland security operations. Due to Hangar 41’s close proximity to the seawall and its 

insufficient size preventing sheltering of the aircraft inside the hangar, the aircraft stationed in Corpus 

Christi are exposed to a corrosive environment requiring additional parts and maintenance to keep 

aircraft operational. The inability to hangar aircraft in this corrosive environment increases maintenance 

costs and reduces operational availability. This project will address the aforementioned shortcomings, 

improving operational response time and operational reliability of aircraft, and minimizing aircraft 

maintenance costs.

Recapitalization of Coast Guard Academy Facilities $8,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will recapitalize infrastructure at the Coast Guard Academy (CGA) in New London, CT. 

Specifically, it supports continued renovation of the Chase Hall Barracks, a multi-phase project intended 

to recapitalize the 343,000 square foot Chase Hall student berthing facility by improving habitability and 

bringing the barracks into compliance with fire and life-safety standards. This phase will finish 

renovations of Annex B started with prior-year funding, and renew the centralized Chase Hall chiller 

plant (air conditioning) piping. 

 

In June 2008, the Coast Guard Academy completed the new Chase Hall E Annex, the first stage of a 

comprehensive mid-life renovation project to Chase Hall which provided the living space necessary to 

continue with renovations of Annexes A thru D. Each phase of the renovation addresses significant lifesafety deficiencies such as new fire detection and fire suppression systems, new fire rated doors, ceiling 

and wall assemblies, improved paths of egress with new lighting horns and strobes and new electrical 

and mechanical rooms. In addition, each phase of renovation introduces modern amenities to include IT 

upgrades, public address speakers, new interior finishes and new heating, ventilation and air 

conditioning (HVAC). This comprehensive renovation improves habitability and safety of the cadet 

berthing facilities. 

Renovation of Chase Hall Barracks South Annex A, and Annexes C and D are planned as survey and 

design is completed, and future funding permits. 

Significant Accomplishments in FY 2010 and Prior: 

Began construction of Chase Hall Barracks Phase II (North Annex A).

Military Housing $20,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The Administration’s Families First Initiative supports military personnel in an effort to ensure that their 

families have access to housing in areas where there is a lack of affordable accommodations. The Coast 

Guard’s Military Housing Program recapitalizes and constructs Coast Guard housing facilities. The 

military housing projects outlined below are the Coast Guard’s highest priority housing recapitalization 

initiatives for 2012. 

Air Station Cape Cod Recapitalize Barracks ($9M) Phase 1: This project is intended to recapitalize one 

wing of the Cape Cod Unaccompanied Personnel Housing (UPH). Phase 2 would recapitalize the 

remaining UPH barracks and galley. The current structure has deteriorated and does not comply with 

life-safety codes (e.g., non-compliant fire suppression systems, presence of asbestos, etc.). This project 

includes renovation of portions of the UPH to meet current construction code and habitability standards. 

The project scope includes recapitalization of utilities, lighting, fire alarm/suppression systems, asbestos 

remediation, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning replacement. 

Sector Columbia River Family Housing ($11M): This is the initial phase of a multi-phase project to 

recapitalize existing housing and to provide new housing units in the greater Astoria, OR area which 

lacks available, adequate and affordable housing. Phase 1 of this project would meet the most critical 

needs by building the first 15 units and establishing utilities and infrastructure to support construction of 

additional units in subsequent phases.

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds the salaries, compensation, and support costs for personnel who manage, execute, and 

administer multi-year funded projects within the Acquisition, Construction and Improvements (AC&I) 

Program. The requested funding level will support 794 FTE and it includes cost savings anticipated as a 

result of the 2011-2012 civilian federal employee pay-freeze. The personnel will support projects 

requested in this budget submission, as well as prior year funded AC&I projects, by performing 

planning, design, engineering, contracting, project management, quality assurance and logistics support 

activities. This ensures the products and services acquired through the AC&I program are completed on 

time, within budget, and in compliance with performance requirements. 

The request also includes a $2.3 million increase in support of the Administration’s Acquisition 

Workforce Initiative, as described below: 

The President’s March 4, 2009 memorandum on Government Contracting required agencies to improve 

acquisition practices and performance by maximizing competition and value, minimizing risk, and 

reviewing the ability of the acquisition workforce to develop, manage, and oversee acquisitions 

appropriately. 

The funds allocated towards this initiative will help ensure future programmatic growth requirements for 

training, recruitment, and retention activities while helping the Coast Guard attract and hire qualified 

members of the acquisition workforce as defined by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act. This 

funding will increase the size of the acquisition workforce by 9 FTE / 17 FTP in the fields of program 

management, systems engineering, testing and evaluation, and logistics.

Currently, all salaries, benefits, and support for the military and civilian personnel who administer AC&I contracts are 

funded by the AC&I appropriation, whereas 97 percent of the Coast Guard’s personnel is funded from the OE 

appropriation. AC&I has a specific annual appropriation to fund "personnel compensation and benefits and 

government program management related costs." Annual AC&I personnel compensation appropriation, rather than the 

multi-year project funds, must be used to fund all AC&I related personnel costs. Funding includes the proposed pay 

raise (1.6 percent for military and 0.0 percent for civilians), medical benefits, other mandatory personnel entitlements.

Transportation of things includes all costs of the care of such things while in process of being transported, and other 

services incident to the transportation of things. Specifically, funding supports the shipment of military member's 

household goods in conjunction with Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves. Funding in FY 2012 reflects the 

anticipated need.

Other rent includes all payments to a non-Federal source for rental space, land, and structures. Funding supports lease 

renewals for facilities (e.g. office space, waterfront/mooring facilities, equipment storage and maintenance facilities, 

etc.). Funding in FY 2012 reflects the anticipated need.

The Coast Guard does not request funding for this activity in FY 2012. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: 

The Alteration of Bridges program funds the Federal Government’s share of the costs for 

altering or removing bridges determined to be unreasonable obstructions to navigation. 

Under the Truman-Hobbs Act of 1940 (33 U.S.C. 511-523), the Federal Government 

shares, with the bridge owner, the cost of altering railroad and publicly-owned highway 

bridges declared by the Coast Guard to be unreasonable obstructions to navigation. 

Under the Federal-Aid to Highways Program, unreasonably obstructive highway bridges 

may be eligible for funding. 

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010 include: 

In FY 2009, the Alteration of Bridges program received $142 million for “executable” 

bridge alteration projects through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) 

of 2009. The ARRA funds allowed the Coast Guard to authorize bridge owners to award 

construction contracts for four bridge projects. ARRA and FY 2010 appropriated 

funding contributed to the following significant accomplishments related to these four 

projects: 

• CSXT Railroad Bridge across the Mobile River in Mobile, Alabama: 

Construction work started. Contractor mobilized, prepared shop drawings, 

ordered material, completed the foundation work, and started the construction of 

the sub-structure.

• EJ&E Railroad Bridge across Illinois Waterways in Divine, Illinois: Construction 

work started. Contractor mobilized, prepared shop drawings, ordered material, 

completed the foundation work, and started the construction of the sub-structure. 
• Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Bridge across the Upper Mississippi River 

in Burlington, Iowa: Construction work started. Contractor mobilized, prepared 

shop drawings, ordered material, completed the foundation work, and started the 

construction of the sub-structure.

• Galveston Railroad Bridge across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Galveston, 

Texas: Construction work started. Contractor mobilized, prepared shop 

drawings, ordered material, and started the foundation work. 

In addition, design work progresses for the following project: 

• Canadian Pacific Railroad Bridge across the Upper Mississippi River in Lacrosse, 

Wisconsin: Completed 90 percent of the design of the new bridge. 

In addition to the four bridge projects under construction listed above, there are currently 

eight bridges, including the above Canadian Pacific Railroad Bridge, that the Coast 

Guard has determined to be unreasonable obstructions to navigation and has issued orders 

to alter. These projects are pending availability of funding. 

The Coast Guard has deemed an additional 32 bridges as potentially unreasonable 

obstructions to navigation. These bridges will require a detailed Truman-Hobbs 

eligibility investigation to definitively determine whether they are unreasonably 

obstructive.

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation:

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding allows the Coast Guard to 

sustain critical mission capabilities through applied research and partnerships with the 

Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as other 

Federal and private research organizations. The purpose of the Research and Development 

Program (R&D) is to help identify and examine existing or impending problems in the Coast 

Guard’s operational, regulatory, and support programs and make improvements through 

solutions based on scientific and technological advances. The RDT&E funding supports riskreduction expertise and services in the pre-acquisition process of major and non-major 

acquisition projects. 

B. Budget Activities:

The RDT&E appropriation sustains program infrastructure and core capabilities, knowledge, 

skills, experience, and facilities to allow the Coast Guard to maintain a balanced portfolio of 

projects that supports short, medium, and long range requirements across all missions. Other 

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). These agreements 

promote collaboration and leverage expertise and the development of techniques, methods, 

hardware, and systems that directly contribute to increasing productivity and effectiveness of the 

Coast Guard’s missions. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests $19.8 million in FY 2012. This request includes an increase of 

$140,000 for annualization of the FY 2011 military pay raise, FY 2012 military pay raise, and 

FY 2012 non-pay inflation. This request also reflects termination of one-time costs (-$5.0 

million) and a reduction in program support for modeling and simulation software (-$100,000). 

RDT&E funding requested in FY 2012 will be used 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. Specific projects include: developing new 

technologies for the detection and recovery of oil and hazardous materials from the sea floor; 

developing ballast water treatment methodologies; providing data-sharing and information 

security technologies to support adaptive force packages; and developing advanced analytical 

techniques to support the acquisition process. In addition, funding supports program operations 

and maintenance costs (e.g., salaries, facility rent, utilities) at the Coast Guard Research and 

Development Center and the R&D Program’s continued collaboration and participation with the 

research community. Healthy partnerships with other government, academic, and private 

research entities enable the Coast Guard to leverage research and development resources and 

foster synergies in scientific fields pertinent to Coast Guard missions.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The RDT&E Appropriation funds foundational work for decision-makers of acquisition, 

operations, regulatory, and support initiatives before long-term commitments are made through 

the Acquisition, Construction & Improvements or Operating Expenses appropriations. 

Knowledge and experience are gained through mission validation, gap analysis, modeling and 

simulation, requirements validation, operational analysis, market research, alternatives analysis, 

technology maturity assessments, cost estimation, prototyping, operational assessments, testing, 

and evaluation. 

Funding requirements for the RDT&E Program are grouped into two categories: Coast Guard 

Mission Research and Operations & Maintenance (e.g., salaries, facility rent, utilities, etc.) 

 

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Provided consolidated results of all Advanced Concept Demonstrations conducted to 

determine the most effective UAS for the Coast Guard’s National Security Cutter (NSC). 

Completed the final recommendation for NSC-based UAS capabilities and configuration 

report that will support the Acquisition Concept and Technology Demonstration Phase 

activities. Completed preparation of engineering documentation to support the 

installation of the Navy’s Fire Scout UAS on board a NSC. 

 Oil Spill Detection/Response
Selected three heavy oil full recovery systems for further development, including 

capabilities such as remotely operated vehicles and manned submersibles as well as 

utilization of commercially available pumps and dredge systems. 

 Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) Systems

Provided a step-by-step protocol to enable automated zooplankton analyses by ballast 

water test facility operators and other researchers. Selected a candidate BWT System for 

full-scale testing. Coordinated with other government agencies in the further 

development of BWT systems suitable for fresh water ecosystems. 

 Arctic Operations

Demonstrated proof-of-concept for the Arctic Tactical Modeling Environment, a 

prototype simulation model that measures the relative effectiveness of various force 

deployment options in the Arctic Region. 

With FY 2011 funding, the Coast Guard RDT&E Program will update and certify critical 

modeling and simulation tools and stand up both engagement and campaign-level modeling and 

simulation capability; support aviation platform performance testing and evaluation, while 

maintaining a core competency in UAS; as well as conduct R&D in the following areas: 

prevention, response management and mitigation of oil spills; prevention and mitigation of 

aquatic invasive species; sensor optimization, automation, and visualization for aviation, surface, 

and shore assets; exploration of key technologies for surface-fleet assets, including energy/green 

technologies; and exploration of concepts and technologies supporting Coast Guard operations in 

the Arctic regions. 

FY 2011 planned accomplishments (based on an annualized CR funding estimate) include: 

Infrastructure and Capability Investment 

 Modeling & Simulation 

Improve the RDT&E Program’s in-house analysis capability by enhancing the Coast 

Guard’s modeling & simulation tools. Perform analyses for acquisition, operational, and 

regulatory issues to support program managers. Develop a pipeline of reusable tools, 

beginning with exploratory studies to determine acquisitions and operational areas where 

modeling would optimize decision support. FY 2011 efforts include development of a 

Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and 

Reconnaissance (C4ISR) modeling and simulation capability to improve the Coast 

Guard’s ability to predict operational impact and converting existing Coast Guard 

campaign-modeling algorithms to a next-generation simulation environment. Modeling 

and simulation (M&S) is key to properly understanding risk and forecasting performance 

and outcomes for Coast Guard missions and assets. Currently, the campaign-level 

modeling and simulation tool resides on severely outdated hardware and operating 

system. 

Refine existing tactical and system models and accredit these tools. Verification, 

Validation, and Accreditation efforts ensure the application of modeling and simulation 
results is appropriate for the intended purpose. Every Coast Guard M&S, whether 

embedded in operational systems, stand-alone systems, or integrated with other M&S 

systems for distributed simulation, is required to be verified and validated prior to its use. 

Confidence in a particular M&S must be justified before its results are used in decisions 

involving resources, risk to human life, or the possible loss of critical Coast Guard 

capabilities. Human Systems Integration Model verification and validation is planned for 

FY 2011. The Pre-Acquisition Cost and the Sensor Performance models will begin the 

accreditation process. 

Operational Program Support 

 Sensor Optimization, Automation, and Visualization

Recent and future acquisitions are introducing a new generation of sensors with highly 

increased capabilities and complexity. Consequently, there is a need for updated Coast 

Guard search effectiveness data. The RDT&E Program will: (1) optimize and automate 

sensor performance of the new generation aviation-, surface-, and shore-based systems to 

enhance operational missions, (2) improve M&S tools by providing the real-world data 

needed to improve M&S accuracy, and (3) enhance the understanding of the results 

through updated visualization techniques. In FY 2011, the Program will begin 

development of a new Sensor/Target/Environment model, summarizing the various 

sensors, targets, environment, and platforms.

Regulatory Program Support 

 Oil Spill Detection/Response (Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund)

Invest in the infrastructure and capabilities development necessary to identify those 

technologies most effective in preventing, managing, and mitigating maritime 

environmental incidents involving oil spills that could potentially threaten sensitive 

maritime and coastal environments or critical coastal infrastructure. 

Continue to develop systems and operational processes to address performance gaps in 

heavy, viscous oil recovery. The focus in FY 2011 is to evaluate the options for selecting 

vendors to pursue the development of a prototype system for recovering heavy oil on the 

bottom of the sea floor. Evaluation of the most promising of those capabilities and 

techniques would follow in future years. 

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 

 Invasive Species and BWT Systems

The Coast Guard will continue to coordinate with the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Maritime Administration to fund the further 

development of up to five BWT systems suitable for fresh water ecosystems by 

supporting the use of laboratory and shipboard testing, verification of treatment 

technologies, and coordination with the maritime industry. 
Complete investigation and development of rigorous and defensible test procedures. 

Based on credible performance data, recommend procedures and techniques for routine 

shipboard BWT compliance testing to support Coast Guard decisions on certifying 

commercial BWT systems. 

Continue investments and partnerships with entities conducting BWT system testing to 

test the efficacy of such systems and methods in both salt and fresh water. This work will 

benefit regulatory program managers in the area of prevention and mitigation of nonindigenous species (NIS) invasion (e.g., zebra mussels) through vectors such as ballastwater. 

With FY 2012 funding, the Coast Guard RDT&E Program will conduct R&D in the following 

areas: command center operations and intelligence; prevention, response management and 

mitigation of oil spills; prevention and mitigation of aquatic invasive species; sensor 

optimization, automation, and visualization for aviation, surface, and shore assets; exploration of 

key technologies for surface-fleet assets, including energy/green technologies; and exploration of 

concepts and technologies supporting Coast Guard operations in the Arctic regions. 

FY 2012 planned accomplishments include: 

 

Acquisition Program Support 

 Pre-Acquisition Exploration for the Surface Fleet

In FY 2012, the RDT&E Program will continue its analysis of modern, “green” 

technology areas, continuing to build knowledge and experience crucial to reducing risk 

of future major acquisitions of cutters. 

Operational Program Support 

 Sensor Optimization, Automation, and Visualization

Recent and future acquisitions are introducing a new generation of sensors with highly 

increased capabilities and complexity. Consequently, there is a need for updated Coast 

Guard search and law-enforcement effectiveness data. The RDT&E Program will: (1) 

optimize and automate sensor performance of the new generation aviation-, surface-, and 

shore-based systems to enhance operational missions, (2) improve M&S tools by 

providing the real-world data needed to improve accuracy, and (3) enhance the 

understanding of the results through updated visualization techniques. In FY 2012, the 

program will provide an updated analysis of detection and search methodology for 

incorporation into the overall sensor optimization concept and validate all models using 

field data, including validation of sensor performance prediction and area search 

performance metric estimation using available test data. 

 Intelligence

Conduct R&D to improve Coast Guard Intelligence capabilities, while reducing longterm costs and risks. Improve the effectiveness of collecting intelligence information and 

data; process and integrate the data into operationally-valued and assured information; 
and analyze, evaluate, and/or interpret the available intelligence information into 

actionable knowledge to enhance maritime domain and situational awareness within 

maritime areas of U.S. interest. The RDT&E Program will support the Coast Guard 

Intelligence Directorate (CG-2) in the intelligence disciplines of Signals Intelligence and 

Law Enforcement Technical Collection, focusing on dark targets, advanced analytical 

tools, airborne tactical intelligence, and specific emitter identification from Coast Guard 

afloat/ashore/airborne assets. 

Long-term objectives include broad support to the Intelligence Directorate and the Coast 

Guard Cryptologic Group by employing advanced sensor testing against the noncooperative target set, to assist in protecting critical infrastructure from accidental or 

deliberate spoofing, counter-measures, detectability of non-emitting targets, and other 

items of national and localized data collection issues or law enforcement missions. 

Regulatory Program Support 

 Oil Spill Detection/Response (Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund)

Invest in the infrastructure and capabilities development necessary to identify those 

technologies most effective in preventing, managing, and mitigating maritime 

environmental incidents involving oil spills that could potentially threaten sensitive 

maritime and coastal environments or critical coastal infrastructure. This work will 

benefit regulatory program managers in the area of oil spill prevention, detection, and 

response. 

Consistent with recommendations from the President’s Oil Spill Commission report, the 

FY 2012 RDT&E Program will address capability gaps for hazardous materials spills in 

the maritime environment. The intent is to reduce the costs and risks associated with 

acquiring, implementing, and operating new spill response capabilities. FY 2012 

research areas include: (a) Spill response in the Arctic region and (b) Submerged 

(deepwater) spill response. 

The Program will also complete development of systems and operational processes to 

address performance gaps in heavy, viscous oil recovery. The objective is to develop a 

system to detect, collect, and recover heavy oil from the sea floor. The focus in FY 2012 

is to develop prototype designs and test prototypes for the recovery of submerged oil. 

The results of these tests will provide the foundation for recommendations for use by 

Federal On-Scene Coordinators. Reports will provide product information and 

specifications that will be used to identify techniques that can be utilized in the field 

during a heavy oil spill response. 

 BWT Systems

The FY 2012 RDT&E appropriation will provide support and funding to mitigate the 

economic and environmental risk posed by the introduction of NIS, including developing 

and testing shipboard testing protocols to verify BWT system capabilities; and 

developing and testing shipboard verification protocols and tools for Coast Guard 
operators to verify compliance with BWT standards. The FY 2012 appropriation will 

provide resources needed to complete research in support of Phase I BWT Standards. 

Methodologies are also needed to test and certify design criteria for BWT systems in a 

shipboard environment, investigate how to minimize other-than-ballast-water 

introduction of NIS (e.g., via hull fouling), and determine ways to mitigate effects. 

 Arctic Operations

This research area will address operational capability gaps in the Arctic region by 

conducting analyses and performing advanced concept technology demonstrations. The 

RDT&E Program will continue focus on three FY 2012 research areas that have unique 

characteristics/problems in the Arctic region: communications capabilities, sensor 

capabilities, and ship/small boat operations capabilities. 

FY 2012 deliverables include: Communication Advanced Concept Technology 

Demonstrations (ACTD) preparation, sensor data assessments and ACTD preparation, 

analysis of small craft operations, and tactical small craft M&S tools. 

Asset Support Manager Support 

 Alternative Energy/Environmental Analysis

RDT&E resources will be leveraged to develop and implement energy alternatives that 

are either currently not available or have not been adapted to Coast Guard use. RDT&E 

investments in alternative and renewable energy, energy conservation, and carbon 

footprint reduction for mobile units will significantly reduce the risk of technology 

implementation and will dramatically increase the probability of success in meeting 

Coast Guard energy goals while improving mission performance. 

The focus in FY 2012 and beyond will be to modify and test an existing Coast Guard 

vessel to operate using an alternate fuel, based on the decision matrix developed in FY 

2011 and the suitability of the platforms analyzed. The carbon footprint measurement 

method developed in FY 2011 will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative 

fuel and associated vessel modifications. 

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 

 Invasive Species

The Coast Guard will continue to coordinate with the EPA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, and Maritime Administration to fund the further development of up to five BWT 

systems suitable for fresh water ecosystems by supporting the use of laboratory and shipboard testing, verification of treatment technologies, and coordination with the maritime 

industry. 

 Oil in Ice

Typical Arctic conditions such as extreme temperature, unstable ice, safety and poor 

visibility create a significant response gap that hinders oil spill prevention and clean up 
efforts. Arctic conditions can impact both the probability that a spill will occur from oil 

and gas operations and the consequences of such a spill. To address the potential for a 

major marine spill, a system of spill prevention, contingency planning, and response 

readiness is necessary to mitigate or combat oil spills from Arctic exploration, 

production, storage, and transportation operations. 

In FY 2012, the Program will continue development of equipment and techniques that 

can be used successfully to detect, track, and recover oil in ice filled waters in all 

conditions. Tasks will include applied research and methodology testing. Post-FY 2012 

follow-on efforts would include full-scale exercises, including an exercise in the ice on 

the Great Lakes to evaluate mechanical recovery. Funds from EPA and other partners, as 

well as related research and partnerships with Canada and the European Union, will be 

leveraged to fund and advance this effort.

 PPA Mission Statement

The Coast Guard RDT&E Appropriation serves as a strategic investment in real-world exploration to quickly gain knowledge and experience 

enhancing the sound early decisions that have a significant effect on a system's overall value and risk profiles. The RDT&E Appropriation funds 

foundational work for decision-makers of future acquisition, operations, regulatory, and support initiatives before long-term commitments are made 

through the AC&I or OE appropriations. Knowledge and experience are gained through mission validation, gap analysis, modeling and simulation, 

requirements validation, operational analysis, market research, alternatives analysis, technology maturity assessments, cost estimation, prototyping, 

operational assessments, testing, and evaluation.

Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for the Health Care Fund Contribution:

The Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution funds accrual of the Coast 

Guard’s military Medicare-eligible health benefit contribution to the Department of 

Defense (DoD) Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund. Contributions are for future 

Medicare-eligible retirees currently serving on active duty in the Coast Guard, as well as 

retiree dependents and their potential survivors. The authority for the Coast Guard to 

make this payment on an annual basis was provided in P.L. 108-375, the 2005 Defense 

Appropriations Act. While this expenditure requires no annual action by Congress, it is 

scored as discretionary spending. 

B. Budget Activities:

There are no budget activities directly related to providing this benefit to active duty 

personnel and their dependents. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard estimates that $261.9 million will be paid to the DoD Medicare-Eligible 

Retiree Health Care Fund in FY 2012 to support the benefits outlined above. The annual 

budget estimate for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution is 

calculated by multiplying the projected end strength (FTE) by DoD actuary projected cost 

rates. Despite an increased projected end strength in FY 2012, the total adjustment to the 

base is a decrease of $3.5 million, due to reduced DoD actuary projections.

Boat Safety 

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Boat Safety:

The Boating Safety (BS) program is designed, through preventive means, 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 safe and enjoyable use of public U.S. waterways. 

B. Budget Activities:

Boating Safety activities include overseeing manufacturer compliance with USCG 

regulations; grantmaking 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. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program 

Coordinator, the Coast Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee funding to 

support the National Recreational Boating Safety Program provided from the Sport Fish 

Restoration and Boating Trust Fund (formerly Aquatic Resources Trust Fund). 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 2012 funding will be a percentage of 

FY 2011 trust fund receipts). These amounts are available until expended, but are limited 

in purpose and amount in accordance with existing statutes. 

The FY 2012 budget reflects the anticipated level of funding that would be available from 

the trust fund for boating safety. This is based on current estimates of FY 2011 trust fund 

receipts from the Office of Tax Analysis at the Department of the Treasury (adjusted to 

reflect amendments of current law enacted in P.L. 109-59). The estimated total 

distribution from the trust fund for boating safety in FY 2012 is $120.8 million. Of that 

amount, $5.5 million is available for use by the Coast Guard to coordinate and execute 

new and enhanced National RBS Program activities. The balance is authorized for the 

State RBS Federal Financial Assistance Program established by 46 U.S.C. 13101, et seq., 

minus not more than five percent for national boating safety activities of national nonprofit public service organizations, and not more than two percent for Coast Guard 

expenses to administer State RBS programs. Two additional FTE, reimbursed via The 

Boating Safety trust fund for grant management services, are reflected in the FY 2012 

request.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

Significant accomplishments in FY 2010 included: 

• Conducted national observation studies that measured life jacket wear. Continued 

to measure effectiveness of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) project to 

mandate life jacket wear by all boaters aboard certain sized boats on USACE 

waters in northern Mississippi and central California. Results from USACE in 

northern Mississippi indicated significant increases in life jacket wear rates. The 

Coast Guard studied these results and consulted with the National Boating Safety 

Advisory Council to consider initiating mandatory requirements for life jacket 

usage in high-risk scenarios and for high-risk vessels (i.e., operating boats less 

than 26 or 21 feet in length). The Coast Guard is now awaiting recommendations 

from the Council before considering a plan of action. 

• Continued the boating under the influence (BUI) initiative (Operation Dry Water) 

to reduce the number of casualties where the use of alcohol was a cause of the 

accident. 

• Initiated new innovative national marketing measures that have proven effective 

in Minnesota over an extended period. The Coast Guard’s new initiative is called 

“Don’t Wreck Your Summer.” 
FY 2011 planned accomplishments (based on an annualized CR funding estimate) 

include: 

• Continue to measure effectiveness of a USACE-project to mandate life jacket 

wear by all boaters aboard certain sized boats on USACE waters in northern 

Mississippi and central California. If continued testing in northern Mississippi 

coupled with central California testing initiated in FY 2011 continues to result in 

a substantial increase in life jacket wear, the Coast Guard will work with the 

National Boating Safety Advisory Council to consider initiating mandatory 

requirements for life jacket usage in high-risk areas (i.e., operating boats less than 

26 or 21 feet in length). 

• Continue the boating safety/boating under the influence (BUI) initiatives 

(Operation Dry Water and “Don’t Wreck Your Summer” and voluntary boat 

operator skill training courses) to reduce the number of casualties where reckless 

operation or lack of adequate operator skills or the use of alcohol by a boat’s 

occupants is a cause of the accident. 

• Complete the Propeller Guard Test Protocol Project and implement the results. 

Continue developing and promulgating regulations that require installation and 

wear of emergency cut-off devices (mechanical or wireless) on vessels under a 

certain length, as well as require operators to turn off the vessel when a swimmer 

is in the water and in close proximity to the stern of the vessel (propeller). 

FY 2012 planned accomplishments include: 

• Increase support of voluntary skill training courses provided to the recreational 

boating public by various organizations. 

• If marketing measures prove effective, continuation of additional elements of the 

national outreach and awareness initiative, “Don’t Wreck Your Summer.”

• Progress in promulgating regulations that require life jacket wear in high-risk 

recreational boating activities if voluntary measures fail to achieve an acceptable 

wear rate. 

• Continue the BUI initiative (Operation Dry Water) to reduce the number of 

casualties where the use of alcohol is a cause of the accident. 

• Conduct an operator compliance outreach initiative to reduce deaths due to 

navigation rules violations (i.e., Reckless/Negligent Operation, Excessive Speed, 

Improper Lookout, Operator Inattention, and Rules of the Road). 

• Implement and monitor State program approval systems (i.e., adequate 

enforcement/sufficient patrol, adequate education, numbering system, casualty 

reporting system). 
• Continue to assure manufacturer compliance with recreational boat safety 

construction standards through the Factory Visit and Boat Testing Programs with 

emphasis on identifying boats and manufacturers whose boats are involved in 

accidents where carbon monoxide, flotation, capacity, or fuel systems are causal 

factors.

Total, Boat Safety

Recoveries

Total Requirements

The Boating Safety (BS) program is designed, through preventive means, 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 Marine Safety mission by promoting safe and 

enjoyable use of public U.S. waterways. In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety (RBS) Program Coordinator, the Coast 

Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee funding to support the National RBS Program provided from the Sport Fish Restoration and 

Boating Trust Fund (formerly Aquatic Resources Trust Fund). 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 

2012 funding will be a percentage of FY 2011 trust fund receipts).

Maritime Oil Spill Program

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Maritime Oil Spill Program:

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. In Section Seven 

of Executive Order 12777, the President delegated management responsibility for these 

uses 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.

B. Budget Activities:

The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Marine 

Environmental Protection mission and Maritime Response Program, which accomplish 

the following objectives: 

• 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). 

• Administers the OSLTF. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard estimates that expenditures from this account will total $101.0 million 

in FY 2012, an increase of $9.0 million above the FY 2011 Continuing Resolution due to 

a projected increase in claims for FY 2012. These estimated expenditures consist of a 

$50.0 million expenditure transfer for immediate Federal oil spill response, an estimated 

$1.0 million payment to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute, and $50.0 

million to compensate claimants for uncompensated OPA removal costs and damages 

including natural resources damages.
