A. Component Overview

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is comprised of the following mission-oriented programs 

that support achievement of the DHS strategic missions, goals, and objectives. 

Maritime Security Operations: The Maritime Security Operations program encompasses activities 

required by legislative, executive, and policy mandates to detect, deter, prevent, disrupt, and recover 

from terrorist attacks and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. It includes the execution of 

antiterrorism, response, and select recovery operations. This program conducts the operational 

element of the Coast Guard’s Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security mission and complements the 

other two elements: the establishment and oversight of maritime security regimes, and maritime 

domain awareness. 

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 seas. The Coast Guard is the lead Federal maritime law enforcement agency for 

enforcing national and international law on the high seas, outer continental shelf, and inward from 

the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to inland navigable waters, including the Great Lakes. 

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

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

Enforcement. 

Maritime Prevention: The Maritime Prevention program mitigates the risk of human casualties 

and property losses, minimizes security risks, and protects the marine environment. The following 

statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention program: Ports, Waterways, 

and Coastal Security (PWCS); Marine Safety; and Marine Environmental Protection. 

Maritime Response: The Maritime Response program mitigates the consequences of marine 

casualties and disastrous events. The Coast Guard minimizes loss of life, injury, and property loss 

by searching for and rescuing persons in distress in the maritime environment. Coast Guard 

preparedness efforts ensure incident response and recovery resources are fully ready and capable to 

minimize impact of disasters to people, the environment, and the economy. The following statutory 

missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Response program: Search and Rescue and 

Marine Environmental Protection. 

Defense Operations: The Defense Operations program provides unique authorities and capabilities 

to support the National Military Strategy. The program portfolio comprises eight activities 

including: 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 the Department of Defense assured surface 

access in ice-covered and ice-diminished waters); Maritime Operational Threat Response (MOTR); 

Rotary Wing Air Intercept Operations; and Support for Theater Security Cooperation Initiatives. 

The statutory mission Defense Readiness contributes to the Coast Guard’s Defense Operations 

program. 
CG-SC-2 

Marine Transportation System Management: The Marine Transportation System Management 

program ensures a safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sound waterways system. The U.S. 

Coast Guard minimizes disruptions to maritime commerce by assessing and mitigating risks to safe 

navigation and by providing waterways restoration capabilities after extreme weather events, 

marine accidents, or terrorist incidents. The Coast Guard works in concert with other Federal 

agencies, state and local governments, marine industries, maritime associations, and the 

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

following statutory missions contribute to the Coast Guard’s Marine Transportation System 

Management program: Aids to Navigation and Ice Operations. 

Cross-Cutting Capital Investments and Maintenance: The Cross-Cutting Capital Investments 

and Maintenance program is derived from the Acquisition Construction and Improvements (AC&I) 

and Operating Expenses (OE) sections of the CJ. AC&I funds the acquisition of new capital assets, 

construction of required facilities, and physical improvements to existing facilities and assets. This 

program is intended to align with the resource levels contained in the DHS Future Years Homeland 

Security Program (FYHSP) which capture total AC&I budget authority and the portion of O&M for 

investments not captured as Mission Support. 

Mission Support: The Mission Support program is a portfolio of output-oriented mission support 

programs. These programs support the needs of the operational forces of the Coast Guard and the 

maritime community and address crosscutting areas such as research and development, policy and 

regulatory guidance, asset management, and capabilities. This program includes several information 

technology (IT) transformational initiatives (excluding acquisition projects) that are designed to 

improve information sharing within the Coast Guard, strengthen information availability, improve 

vessel tracking, provide a fully secure IT environment, and enhance financial management and audit 

practices. 

Management and Administration: This program captures activities that provide enterprise 

leadership, management and/or business administration services and describes the capabilities and 

activities that support the day-to-day management and back office functions enabling the 

Department to operate efficiently and effectively. Key capabilities include conducting agency 

planning and performance management, managing finances, managing agency workforce, providing 

physical and personnel security, acquiring goods and services, managing information technology, 

managing agency property and assets, managing agency communications, managing legal affairs, 

and providing general management and administration.

Performance Measures 

For Prevent Terrorism and Enhance Security, two types of performance measures are presented. 

Strategic Measures represent USCG’s measures that gauge achievement for this mission area, and 

are considered to be our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) 

performance measures. Additional Management Measures are displayed, as appropriate, to provide 

a more thorough context of expected performance results. 

Strategic Measures

Measure: Security compliance rate for high risk maritime facilities 

Description: This measure is a leading indicator of maritime facility security and resiliency in 

our nation’s ports. Compliance of high risk (Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA)) 

facilities is determined based upon finding a major problem during an inspection, requiring a 

notice of violation or civil penalty. MTSA facilities are a high risk subset of the national 

waterfront facility population given the nature of their activities and/or the products they handle; 

which pose a greater risk for significant loss of life, environmental damage, or economic 

disruption if attacked. This subset is approximately 3,100 facilities. The Coast Guard completes 

one scheduled and one unscheduled inspection on each facility annually. This measure provides 

insight into resiliency by verifying MTSA facilities maintain proper access safeguards and 

exercise approved plans/procedures to prevent and react to security emergencies; making them 

better suited to resist, adapt, and recover to adversity or disruption.

Management Measures

 

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

Description: This is a risk-based outcome measure that begins with an assessment (by maritime 

security subject matter experts) of sixteen high-consequence maritime terrorist attack scenarios. 

Threat, vulnerability, and consequence levels are estimated for each scenario, which generates a 

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

interventions (security and response operations, regime and awareness activities) for the fiscal 

year are scored against the scenarios with regard to the decreases in threat, vulnerability and 

consequence that each has been estimated to have afforded. (The analysis then focuses on those 

areas within the U.S. Coast Guard's roles and strategic mandates.) The resulting measure is a 

proxy measure of performance. Targets for FY 2011-FY 2016 have increased relative to FY 

2010 due to a revised methodology that took effect in FY 2011. 

Fiscal

Target: 44% 44% 36% 37% 37% 37%

Result: 44% 36% 36% 55% N/A N/A

 

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

consequence management 

Description: This measure indicates the estimated percent of terrorist-related maritime risk 

reduction due to consequence management as a percent of the risk that USCG has the ability to 

impact. This is a risk-based measure that involves the scoring (by maritime security subject 

matter experts) of sixteen high-consequence maritime terrorist attack scenarios with respect to 

threat, vulnerability, and consequence. Aggregation of maritime security risk scenarios generates 

an index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG layered interventions (both 

operational and regulatory-based) employed throughout the fiscal year are scored against the 

attack scenarios with regard to the percent consequence after a modeled attack has occurred. The 

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

alone. Targets for FY 2011-2016 have increased relative to FY 2010 due to a revised 

methodology that took effect in FY 2011.

CG-SC-7 

Measure: Percent reduction of maritime security risk resulting from U.S. Coast Guard efforts to 

prevent a terrorist entering the U.S. via maritime means 

Description: This measure is an estimate of the percent of terrorist-related maritime risk 

reduction of the illegal entry of a terrorist(s) through the maritime domain (as a percent of the 

risk that the USCG has the ability to impact). This is a risk-based measure that involves the 

scoring (by maritime security subject matter experts) with respect to threat, vulnerability and 

consequence of the illegal entry of a terrorist(s) into the U.S. with intent and capability to carry 

out terror attacks within the United States where vessels en route from foreign countries are used 

as a means of conveyance. Such scoring generates an index of "raw risk" that exists in the 

maritime domain. Next, USCG incremental interventions (awareness, operational and regulatorybased) that have taken place throughout the fiscal year are scored with regard to the effectiveness 

each has been estimated to have afforded. Targets for FY 2011-2016 have increased due to a 

revised methodology that takes effect in FY2011.

Measure: Percent reduction of maritime security risk resulting from U.S. Coast Guard efforts to 

prevent a weapon of mass destruction from entering the United States via maritime means 

Description: This measure is an estimate of the percent of terrorist-related maritime risk 

reduction of the illegal entry of a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD)/materials into the U.S. 

through the maritime domain (as a percent of the risk that the USCG has the ability to impact). 

This is a risk-based measure that involves the scoring (by maritime security subject matter 

experts) with respect to threat, vulnerability and consequence of the illegal entry of a 

WMD/materials into the United States to support ongoing terrorist operations where vessels 

enroute from foreign countries are used as a means of conveyance. Scoring generates an index of 

"raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG incremental interventions (awareness, 

operational and regulatory-based) that have taken place throughout the fiscal year are scored 

with regard to the effectiveness that each has been estimated to have afforded. Targets for FY 

2011-2016 have increased relative to FY 2010 due to a revised methodology.

For Secure and Manage Our Borders, two types of performance measures are presented. Strategic 

Measures represent USCG’s measures that gauge achievement for this mission area, and are 

considered to be our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) 

performance measures. Additional Management Measures are displayed, as appropriate, to provide 

a more thorough context of expected performance results. 

Strategic Measures

 

Measure: Availability of maritime navigation aids 

Description: This measure indicates the hours that short-range federal Aids to Navigation are 

available. The aid availability rate is based on an international measurement standard established 

by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities 

(IALA) (Recommendation O-130) in December 2004. A short-range Aid to Navigation is 

counted as not being available from the initial time a discrepancy is reported until the time the 

discrepancy is corrected.

Description: This measure is the number of detected illegal fishing incursions into the U.S. 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Incursions detected by both the U.S. Coast Guard and other 

sources are included when the reports are judged by operational commanders as being of 

sufficient validity to order resources to respond.

Management Measures

 

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

Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) regulations 

Description: This measure reports the percent of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) 

regulated facilities that are found to be in compliance with the Transportation Worker 

Identification Card (TWIC) regulations during CG inspections. The Security and Accountability 

for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 requires the Coast Guard to conduct at least two MTSA 

security inspections on regulated facilities each year; one announced and one unannounced. CG 

Inspectors randomly sample different areas of a facility (admin staff, security staff, dock 

workers, etc.) to check for TWIC compliance by ensuring workers have a valid and current 

TWIC card. Some infractions can be corrected on the spot, e.g., a trucker forgot his TWIC in his 

truck cab. Depending on the number and severity of TWIC infractions, the inspector/Captain of 

the Port may find the facility not in compliance. Statistical guidelines have been developed based 

on the size of the facility to aid inspectors, and to ensure random sampling.

Measure: Number of undocumented migrants who attempt to enter the U.S. via maritime routes 

that are interdicted 

Description: This measure is the total number of all undocumented migrants who are 

attempting to enter the U.S. by maritime means and who are interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard 

and other law enforcement agencies. The other agencies include Customs and Border Protection, 

and foreign entities partnering with the U.S. Coast Guard for migrant interdiction operations.

Performance Measures 

For Strengthen National Preparedness and Resilience, two types of performance measures are 

presented. Strategic Measures represent USCG’s measures that gauge achievement for this mission 

area, and are considered to be our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act 

(GPRAMA) performance measures. Additional Management Measures are displayed, as 

appropriate, to provide a more thorough context of expected performance results. 

Strategic Measures

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

Description: This is a measure of the percent of people who were in imminent danger on the 

oceans and other waterways and whose lives were saved by U.S Coast Guard. The number of 

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

the end of search operations are factored into this percentage. Several factors hinder successful 

response including untimely distress notification to the U.S Coast Guard, incorrect distress site 

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

CG-SC-14 

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

Description: Time on scene is calculated from the earliest time a Search and Rescue Unit 

(SRU) is requested to proceed until the earliest time of arrival on scene of an SRU. This includes 

readiness time, the 30 minutes of preparation time, that provides for underway preps (i.e. engine 

warm-ups, underway checklist, risk management evaluation, and mission planning) and the 

transit time, the 90 minutes from underway to on scene based on moderate environmental 

conditions which allow for operation of the SRUs at their top cruise speeds. To calculate the 

response times used in the measure, the Coast Guard uses the following equation: Time On 

Scene = First Sortie On Scene Time minus First Resource Requested Time. The Coast Guard 

established the 2-hour On Scene Standard in the 1970's and conducted a full review of the 

standard in 1992. The standard is based on survival expectations in the average weighted water 

temperatures. The weighting factors into the varying number of incidents occurring regionally.

BUDGET REQUEST AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION 

United States Coast Guard 

Operating Expenses 

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Operating Expenses:

The Operating Expenses (OE) appropriation funds the Coast Guard’s role as the principal 

Federal agency in the maritime domain providing for the safety, security, and stewardship of 

U.S. resources for the Nation. 

B. Budget Activities:

The OE appropriation funds the annualization of prior-year funding, economic adjustments, and 

operating and maintenance funding for new and existing Coast Guard Programs, Projects and 

Activities (PPA). The OE request supports all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions and other 

Service activities in support of the Coast Guard’s six DHS Programs and other National 

priorities. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The FY 2016 request for Coast Guard provides 47,990 positions, 47,812 FTE, and 

$6,821,503,100. 

The OE request includes a $238.627 million increase to base funding for: the transfer of funds 

for the Working Capital Fund; annualization of prior year funding; the FY 2016 pay increase for 

military (1.3-percent) and civilian (1.3-percent) personnel; military allowances; and the 

operation, maintenance, and crewing of systems, vessels, aircraft and shore facilities delivered 

via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (e.g., National Security Cutter (NSC), shore 

facilities, Response Boat-Medium (RB-M), Logistics Information Management System (LIMS), 

Fast Response Cutter (FRC), and C-27J Aircraft. 

The FY 2016 Budget preserves the Coast Guard’s operational readiness to continue to meet 

today’s needs and challenges, while investing in long-term mission capability. The OE 

adjustments-to-base include decreases of $173.841 million from: vessel decommissionings; fixed 

wing aircraft retirements; shore-side support personnel reductions commensurate with asset 

divestitures; efficiencies in our support structure; management and support efficiencies; the 

termination of one-time costs; and annualization of prior year management efficiencies. 

 

The Department of Homeland Security strives to be a leader in cyber-security. To meet this 

goal, the Department is prioritizing base resources to address known vulnerabilities in all of its 

systems. Funds to remediate known cyber-security gaps are being funded from within Coast 

Guard’s operating expenses base as part of the Department wide effort to increase awareness of 

cyber-security risks. In FY 2016, $14.281 million in base funding is planned to address USCG’s 
CG-OE-2 

cyber-security remediation effort with remediation of known vulnerabilities to be completed by 

2018. Coast Guard requests no new funding for this initiative in FY 2016.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Military Pay and Allowances PPA funds 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, 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 Alaska and Hawaii— 

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. The FY 2016 submission includes a 1.3-percent pay increase for 

military personnel. 

The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, maritime service. Active duty 

military personnel ensure the Service remains agile, adaptable, and ready to serve the Nation’s 

maritime interests across a range of dynamic operational environments. As members of one of 

the Nation’s five Armed Forces and the only military service within the Department of Homeland 

Security, Coast Guard military personnel conduct missions that protect the public, the 

environment, and U.S. economic interests in the Nation’s inland waters, ports, waterways, and 

coastal regions, territorial sea, and on the high seas.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Training and Recruiting PPA funds the Coast Guard’s basic and professional training and 

education programs, as well as operation and maintenance of the eight major Coast Guard 

training centers, the Coast Guard Academy, nine regional training centers and Coast Guard 

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

component charged with optimizing human performance to enhance premier mission execution 

by providing clear tactics, techniques, and procedures, relevant training, and quality assessments 

throughout the fleet. Enhanced safety and efficiencies are realized through service wide 

assessments and standardization, the oversight of unit readiness, and the management of 

armories, ammunition and small arms firing ranges. Annually the Coast Guard training 

education systems conduct Basic Training for 3,000 recruits and commissions 300 officers. 

Further, initial enlisted specialty training occurs at 19 “A” schools, and advanced and currency 

training is conducted in over 900 “C” schools. 

This request includes essential funding to recruit and process CG applicants into the enlisted and 

officer corps, including expenses for members that are processed through the Military Entrance 

Processing Stations (MEPS) prior to accession. In addition, funding provides for tuition, travel, 

and per diem for formal training and education performed by military service members and 

civilian personnel. Through internal and external efficiency reviews and prioritization efforts, it 

ensures prudent allocation of limited training and workforce preparation resources that arm Coast 

Guard personnel with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to execute missions. The 

Coast Guard maintains a rigorous set of standard operating procedures to ensure the validity and 

reliability of training and stewardship of training resources. In addition to the training provided 

by the Coast Guard, the funding also ensures adequate resources are available for training 
CG-OE-7 

opportunities provided through other DHS training facilities, commercial providers, DoD, and 

other government agencies. Training and education are conducted by dedicated resident staffs in 

classrooms, but may also include exportable training, correspondence courses, and/or computerbased training.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Operating Funds and Unit Level Maintenance PPA funds units, facilities, and activities that 

are under the direct operational and administrative control of the Coast Guard’s Headquarters and 

Atlantic Area or Pacific Area Commanders. These include Base Support Units (BSUs); National 

Security Cutters (WMSL), High and Medium Endurance Cutters (WHECs/WMECs); Sectors; 

Patrol Boats; Multi-mission Boat Stations; Air Stations; Communication Stations; Deployable 

Specialized Forces (DSF); support commands; and Area Offices as applicable for supplies, 

materials, and services that allow the Coast Guard to sustain an operations tempo with an 

immediate response capability for Coast Guard missions. This request funds unit level 

maintenance of cutters, boats, aircraft, electronics systems, mechanical systems, and electrical 

equipment; service-life replacement and emergent purchase of boats; procurement of supplies and 

materials utilized for unit “housekeeping” and administration, spare parts, liquid fuel, and energy; 

and other materials consumed that contribute directly to mission effectiveness. 

To address legacy financial management system inadequacies, DHS launched the Financial 

Systems Modernization (FSM) initiative in 2011 to modernize financial management systems at 

Components. DHS must invest in modernizing financial management systems in order to 

improve financial accountability and financial reporting, and enable business process 

standardization. The FSM initiative follows DHS Directives, OMB guidance, and processes 

developed by Treasury’s Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation. 

Funds to migrate USCG to a shared service provider for financial, acquisition and asset 

management solution services are being funded from within Coast Guard’s Operating Expenses 

base or by DHS headquarters as part of the FSM initiative. In FY 2016, $26.921 million in 
CG-OE-9 

funding is planned for the USCG FSM initiative; with migration scheduled to be completed in 

FY 2018, of which $2.931 million is from DHS headquarters and $23.990 million is from 

USCG. The DHS Office of the Chief Financial Officer provides guidance and oversight to 

Component FSM initiatives. Coast Guard requests no new funding for these initiatives in FY 

2016.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Intermediate and Depot Level Maintenance PPA funds the Coast Guard’s depot level 

maintenance for the Service’s shore facilities, electronics, vessels, and aircraft. The Coast Guard 

maintains its aircraft, vessels, and shore infrastructure using a blend of organic maintenance and 

repair infrastructure and contracted depot level maintenance activities. A mature project 

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

This funding is vital to ongoing sustainment and support of in-service Coast Guard aircraft; 

Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology (C4IT) systems; 

shore facilities; and vessels.

 of which $340,000,000 shall be for 

defense-related activities; of which $24,500,000 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)); and of which not to exceed $15,300 shall be for official reception and 

representation expenses: Provided, That none of the funds made available by this Act shall be for 

expenses incurred for recreational vessels under section 12114 of title 46, United States Code, 

except to the extent fees are collected from owners of yachts and credited to this appropriation: 

Provided further, That to the extent fees are insufficient to pay expenses of recreational vessel 

documentation under such section 12114, and there is a backlog of recreational vessel 

applications, then personnel performing non-recreational vessel documentation functions under 

subchapter II of chapter 121 of title 46, United States Code, may perform documentation under

of section 503(d), after June 30, up to $10,000,000 may be reprogrammed within this 

appropriation in accordance with subsections (a), (b), and (c), of section 503. 

Explanation for Proposed Change:

Language Provision Explanation 

1

 ... purchase or lease of other equipment (at a

The proposed language provides a clearly 

defined threshold for the use of the OE 

appropriation to procure end-use items to 

include software systems and equipment for an 

amount equal to or less than the proposed 

funding amount. Similar procurements above 

the defined level would become a necessary 

expense of the AC&I appropriation.

7) If applicable, list and explain the necessity of any additional physician categories designated by your 

agency (for categories other than I through IV-B). Provide the number of PCA agreements per additional 

category for the PY, CY and BY. 

 N/A 

8) Provide the maximum annual PCA amount paid to each category of physician in your agency and explain 

the reasoning for these amounts by category. 

During FY’14, $75,000 in PCA was paid to three Coast Guard physicians in Category III at the National Maritime 

Center (NMC). One physician was hired on 20OCT13 and departed on 19APR14 for other job opportunities 

9) Explain the recruitment and retention problem(s) for each category of physician in your agency (this should 

demonstrate that a current need continues to persist). 

The NMC is situated in the National Capital Region commuting area with four private hospitals, a major VA 

Regional Medical Center, two additional local VA facilities, and a major Army medical command and is therefore 

subject to a significant level of competition in the hiring of physicians. In addition, the VA and numerous other 

agencies are authorized by P.L. 108-445 to pay market level physician salaries that the Coast Guard cannot compete 

with as evidenced by the declination of several candidates for physician positions. For example, an entry level 

physician at the VA is now paid approximately $195,000 for the level of experience expected to manage a National 

Safety Program while the best the Coast Guard can offer at the GS-14 level is $166,771 annually without recurring 

retention bonuses throughout the entirety of the physician’s Coast Guard career. Therefore, recruiting an 

experienced physician with a unique specialty such as occupational medicine is made more difficult by the higher 

salary paid by the VA under current law. The local VA Center regularly has approximately 10 vacancies announced 

at salary ranges from $99,000 to $375,000 per year. Until implementing PCA, NMC experienced three long term 

vacancies of category III physicians with few qualified candidates; one applicant presented a revoked medical 

license and numerous qualified applicants declined based on salary or retirement benefit considerations. 

10) Explain the degree to which recruitment and retention problems were alleviated in your agency through the 

use of PCAs in the prior fiscal year. 

NMC utilizes a combination of Recruitment incentives (Superior Qualifications Appointments combined with 

recruitment and retention bonuses), in addition to PCA, to approach the salaries offered by VA and private sector 

physicians in the national Capitol region (NCR). In addition, the recent federal civilian employee pay freeze has 

exacerbated the need to rely on retention bonuses to retain the physicians currently employed at the NMC. 

11) Provide any additional information that may be useful in planning PCA staffing levels and amounts in your 

agency.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of the EC&R Appropriation is to carry out a program of environmental compliance 

and restoration at current and former Coast Guard facilities. The program involves the 

identification, investigation, cleanup, and long-term management of contamination from 

hazardous substances and pollutants, as well as engineering changes (i.e., physical changes) to 

Coast Guard systems, buildings, structures, and assets in order to bring Coast Guard facilities 

into compliance with environmental laws, to prevent contamination, or to preclude an 

environmental liability.

Funding requested is planned to be allocated by EC&R activity as follows:

1. Site Investigation/Remediation Activities (21 locations) $6.939 million

2. Long Term Management of Restoration Project Sites (36 locations) $2.183 million 

3. Environmental Compliance Projects and Activities $750,000 

4. Salaries $3.397 million

Depending on project complexity and conditions identified during routine monitoring, detailed 

site surveys, or field work project, sites may undergo investigation and assessment, remediation, 

restoration, and/or long term management in a phased approach, requiring a funding distribution 

across multiple years. The table below provides a detailed listing of each planned FY 2016 

EC&R project based on current information regarding prioritization of work. The list may be 

adjusted as new information is discovered based upon the completion of assessments and project 

risk priority.

Environmental Compliance and Restoration Mission Statement

Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) will provide for (1) environmental cleanup and restoration of current and 

formerly contaminated Coast Guard facilities, and (2) engineering fixes on Coast Guard assets to comply with environmental laws 

and keep environmental damage from developing. Failure to meet restoration or compliance responsibilities could subject the 

Coast Guard to fines, penalties, or shutdown of operational assets by environmental regulators. In addition, Coast Guard EC&R 

funding supports site investigation and remediation activities at shore facilities slated for property divestiture or transfer actions.

The FY 2016 request includes the proposed pay raise (1.3 percent for military and 1.3 for civilians), medical benefits, and other 

mandatory personnel entitlements. The increase in civilian allowances is due to a rise in government cost contribution for various 

Federal Employee benefits to include Federal Government Life Insurance, Federal Employee Health Benefits, Federal Government 

Thrift Savings Plan contribution, and the requirement for non-recurring funding for the compensable workday of February 29, 2016.

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. The Coast Guard Reserve may be called 

upon to provide units and personnel to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of 

crisis, domestically or worldwide. 

B. Budget Activities:

The Reserve Training appropriation facilitates 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. 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 FY 2016 President’s Budget requests 416 positions, 416 FTE, and $110.614 million for Reserve 

Training. 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 a 7,000 

member Coast Guard Reserve workforce.

Training.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Coast Guard Reserve is the Coast Guard’s surge military workforce and provides a costeffective and versatile capacity to respond to major contingencies, such as natural and man-made 

disasters, maritime homeland security, national security, and other significant events.

The Coast Guard Reserve is a cornerstone of service readiness for contingency response. Coast 

Guard reservists also augment active duty forces through Inactive Duty Training and Active 

Duty Training periods. This request for funding ensures these reservists are fully trained and 

ready to perform vital missions when called upon to do so. Demand for Reserve support to a 

variety of contingencies remained high in FY 2014. As an example, a reserve force contingent 

was activated to support response and recovery operations related to the discharge of over 

165,000 gallons of oil following the collision of the M/V Summer Wind and the “Kirby 27706” 

in Galveston Bay near Texas City, TX.

This request sustains 416 Full Time Support (FTS) military and civilian positions. This staff 

develops training policy and doctrine and manages all recruiting, formal training, personnel, and 

resource program oversight. 

The Reserve workforce will remain a critically important component of the Coast Guard and will 

continue to have the requisite workforce strength to surge in response to national disasters and 

contingencies (i.e., flooding, earthquakes, terrorist and pollution incidents, and hurricanes).

Salaries and Benefits provide funds for compensation directly related to duties performed by active duty military and civilian 

personnel. The FY 2016 request includes the proposed pay raise (1.3 percent military and 1.3 percent civilian). The increase in 

civilian allowances is due to a rise in government normal cost contribution for various Federal Employee benefits to include Federal 

Government Life Insurance, Federal Employee Health Benefits, Federal Government Thrift Savings Plan contribution, and the 

requirement for non-recurring funding for the compensable workday of Feb 29, 2016.

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Surface Assets

The Vessels subappropriation provides funding to recapitalize and/or improve the Coast Guard’s 

fleet of boats and cutters. With many of the Coast Guard’s cutters operating 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 2016 

funding continues initial work towards acquisition of a new Polar Icebreaker; supports the 

Survey and Design of Vessels and Boats; including a material condition Assessment on POLAR 

SEA, and continues the National Security Cutter (NSC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), Fast 

Response Cutter (FRC), Cutter Boats, and In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) projects. The 

Coast Guard’s fleet of boats and cutters supported within this program collectively perform all 

eleven statutory Coast Guard missions in the offshore, coastal and inland operating areas. 

The Coast Guard’s future fleet of NSCs, OPCs and FRCs are replacing the current fleet of High 

and Medium Endurance Cutters and Island-Class Patrol Boats. These cutters will provide 

improved endurance, speed, sea-keeping, surveillance, and persistent presence in the offshore 

area of responsibility (AOR).

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Aviation Assets

The Aircraft subappropriation provides funding for recapitalization and sustainment of the Coast 

Guard’s fleet of aging aircraft. It is comprised of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft sustainment 

projects. 

The Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary wing aircraft supported within this program 

collectively performs all Coast Guard missions in the Offshore, Coastal and Inland AORs. The 

land-based fixed-wing aircraft include the HC-144A, HC-130H/J and HC-27J aircraft. The HC144A is the Coast Guard’s primary medium-range fixed-wing aircraft. The Coast Guard’s fleet 

of existing HC-130Hs and HC-130Js provide long range surveillance 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 newly acquired HC27J aircraft will provide additional maritime patrol capability as they become operational in the 

Coast Guard fleet.

The Coast Guard’s fleet of rotary wing aircraft includes the HH-60 and HH-65 helicopters. The 

HH-60 is a medium-range recovery helicopter, and the HH-65 is a short-range recovery 

helicopter. Both aircraft are deployed from land-based air stations; the HH-65 is also deployed 

routinely aboard the Coast Guard’s fleet of NSCs, WHECs, and WMECs.

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Command, Control, Communications, 

Computers and Information Technology (C4IT), Acquisition Management

The Other subappropriation 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 2016, funding 

will support continued progress on build-out of Command, Control, Communications, 

Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, and CG-Logistics 

Information Management System (CG-LIMS). This subappropriation also provides funding for 

Program Oversight and Management (PO&M). 

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. The CG-LIMS project is replacing redundant and 

obsolete logistics systems with one single integrated IT system capable of providing enhanced 

configuration management, supply support, and improved financial accountability. PO&M is 

critical for efficient oversight and execution of the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs.

the acquisition, construction, rebuilding, and improvement of the Coast Guard’s shore facilities, 

military housing, ATON and related equipment. Shore facilities are critical to supporting all 

Coast Guard operations and addressing the shore-side needs of the service’s operational 

communities. This funding also provides infrastructure upgrades at new cutter homeports and air 

stations to ensure these facilities are fully functional and ready prior to arrival of new assets.

U.S. Coast Guard - FY 2016 Congressional Justification

Survey and Design - Vessels and Boats $9,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Funds survey and design work in direct support of the In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) 

project. As in-service vessels continue to age, this program conducts detailed hull condition 

surveys, along with engineering design work that will be used to plan future projects. Examples 

of the work to be performed under this project include: detailed assessment of the material 

condition of the current fleet’s hull, mechanical and electrical systems and subsystems; study and 

analysis of engineering systems to evaluate suitability for use in sustainment projects; conducting 

market research for systems and subsystems and assessment of system alternatives. Preliminary 

survey and design work is essential to properly plan and scope sustainment projects, such as 

Midlife Maintenance Availabilities (MMA), Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP) and Service 

Life Extension Projects (SLEP).

This request provides funding to support multi-year engineering survey and design efforts for

CGC HEALY (420-foot Icebreaker) and the 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender (WLM), and a 

Material Condition Assessment (MCA) for CGC POLAR SEA. 

HEALY is a multi-mission platform that primarily supports research missions in the Arctic. 

HEALY is also capable of performing search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, 

and enforcement of laws and treaties as operations dictate. Engineering evaluations indicate that 

certain systems, including surface search radar, motor generator sets, and the main propulsion 

control and monitoring system potentially need to be replaced or refurbished to prevent 

degradation of operational readiness and to stabilize maintenance costs. Funds requested will be 

used to assess these systems to determine a proper course of action.

The 14 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tenders are tasked with maintaining aids to navigation, search 

and rescue, law enforcement, migrant interdiction, marine safety, environmental incident 

response, and light ice breaking operations. The 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tenders began entering 

service in 1996 and are approaching the need for MMA. Funds requested will be used to assess 

weight handling equipment, refrigeration systems, main propulsion control and monitoring 

system, habitability outfitting, and similar systems to determine if recapitalization due to 

obsolescence is required.

POLAR SEA is one of two Coast Guard heavy icebreakers capable of providing icebreaking 

mission support in both Polar Regions. Currently POLAR SEA is not operational and is moored 

at Base Seattle in an inactive status. Funding is for a MCA and follow-on analysis that will 

enable the Coast Guard to identify and assess the level of effort required should a decision be 

made to return the vessel to active service and extend its service life.

Early planning, requirements development, and cost estimating in support of acquisition and 

sustainment projects are critical to proper planning and acquisition oversight.

U.S. Coast Guard - FY 2016 Congressional Justification

In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) $68,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) program is designed to perform life-cycle event 

vessel repair availabilities such as Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP), Mid-Life Maintenance 

Availabilities (MMA), and Service Life Extension Projects (SLEP) on the Coast Guard’s 

existing fleet of vessels.

FY 2016 funding completes the third of four phases of the CGC EAGLE SLEP; continues SLEP 

efforts on the 140-foot ice breaking tugs (WTGB); continues MMA efforts on the 225-foot ocean 

going buoy tender (WLB) fleet; and continues sustainment project work on the 47-foot Motor 

Life Boats (MLB).

This program ensures in-service vessels meet or exceed their design service life through the 

recapitalization of hull, mechanical, electrical (HM&E) and electronic systems that have been 

identified as the highest contributors to maintenance costs and decreasing operational 

availability. 

CGC EAGLE (WIX-327): CGC EAGLE, which was built in 1936, completed her last SLEP in 

1983. Engineering surveys indicated EAGLE required a second SLEP to ensure safe and reliable 

operation. EAGLE’s SLEP is divided into four phases to allow the cutter to meet annual 

operational commitments. Systems targeted for recapitalization include: gyrocompass, anchor 

windlass, main engine, waste water treatment systems, reverse osmosis system, berthing area 

habitability, and masts. Additionally, an oily water separator upgrade, and trash compactor space 

re-configuration will support compliance with 21st Century environmental regulations.

140-foot Ice Breaking Tugs (WTGBs): The lead ship in this class was placed in service in 1978 

and has been in continuous service for 32 years. This sustainment program is the first to be 

performed on this fleet. Specific system upgrades and improvements to be addressed include: 

propulsion plant, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, installation of an 

engine room fire suppression system, boat launching davit replacement, exhaust configuration 

modifications, and crew habitability improvements to meet current standards. Additionally, an 

upgraded oily water separator will support compliance with 21st Century environmental 

regulations.

225-foot Ocean Going Buoy Tenders (WLBs): This class was placed in service in 1996 and was 

designed to meet a 30-year service life. Achieving that 30-year service life is predicated upon 

performing a mid-life availability to address obsolescence of select engineering systems. The 

WLB MMA is intended to include a stability assessment; electrical load analysis; upgrades to the 

machinery control system, controllable pitch propeller system, and HVAC systems; an overhaul 

of the buoy tending crane and other auxiliary systems; topside preservation; overhauls of deck 

equipment and weight handling gear; and crew habitability updates.

47-foot Motor Life Boat (MLB): The fleet of 47-foot MLBs was constructed from 1997 to 2003 

and was designed for a 25-year service life. The boats continue to serve, but many of the critical 

CG-AC&I-24
systems have become obsolete or difficult to support. Engineering evaluations identified that the 

propulsion system (engines, reduction gears, and the integrated control system), and a variety of 

mission-specific equipment including the tow reel and survivor compartment components require 

recapitalization. To prevent loss of operational readiness and to stabilize maintenance costs, 

various structural repairs and watertight closure recapitalization are necessary.

U.S. Coast Guard - FY 2016 Congressional Justification

National Security Cutter (NSC) $91,400

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding provides $91.4 million for the Structural Enhancement Dry-dock Availability 

(SEDA) on the second NSC and Post Delivery Activities (PDA) for the fifth through eighth 

NSCs.

These Legend Class Cutters are replacing the legacy High Endurance Cutters (HEC), built 

between 1967 and 1972. Compared to HECs, the NSCs provide increased endurance, 

intelligence, and maritime domain awareness capability in the offshore environment. The NSC, 

along with the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), will comprise the Coast Guard’s offshore response 

capability for the next 40 years, and is an essential element of DHS’s layered security posture.

NSC missions are primarily focused on drug interdiction, fisheries enforcement and defense 

readiness. NSCs also perform search and rescue, ports, waterways and coastal security, migrant 

interdiction; and serve as mobile command and control platforms for surge operations.

Completion of the NSC project will improve long-term capacity and capability in the execution 

of long-range and extended Coast Guard mission assignments offshore and integrate operations 

with the Department of Defense. SEDA on NSC-1 and NSC-2 will ensure a 30 year service life 

of the hull structure in the planned operating environment. Funding for NSC’s 5-8 Post Delivery 

Activities will support items necessary to make these cutters ready for operations.

Segment 1 developed a closed and complex C4ISR baseline for NSCs, HC-144As, and HC130Js. Developed through the Integrated Coast Guard Systems (ICGS) contractor, this 

system is proprietary and does not allow the Coast Guard the ability to manage additional 

development outside of the prime contractor, nor does it provide an affordable means for 

software sustainment. Segment 1 is fully fielded. 

Segment 2 began the transition of the proprietary system developed in Segment 1 towards 

an open architecture owned and controlled by the Coast Guard. It separated the Segment 1 

design into modular, scalable, functional components with clear interfaces allowing the 

Coast Guard to manage changes and sustain the system separate from the prime contractor.

Segment 2 establishes a common baseline across the NSC, HC-144A, and HC-130J assets.

Segment 5 (Upgrades to existing assets) - In-Service Cutters: 210ft and 270ft Medium 

Endurance Cutter (MEC); 378ft High Endurance Cutter (HEC); Shore Facilities:

Major Shore - Improve Pier for Move of 210' WMECs to Little Creek, VA $3,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Funds pier and facility improvements at U.S. Navy’s Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in 

Hampton Roads, Virginia to support the homeport shift of two 210-foot Medium Endurance Cutters 

(WMECs) from Cape May, New Jersey. The scope of work includes pier improvements that enable 

different berthing configurations when both vessels are present and the construction of a facility for 

shipping, receiving, and stowage of materiel for the two 210-foot WMECs.

As a result of deteriorating pier conditions in Cape May, New Jersey, and plans to use the Cape May 

pier as a future Fast Response Cutter homeport, the Coast Guard is relocating the two Cape May 

210-foot WMECs to the U.S. Navy’s Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek. 

The modifications will ensure JEB Little Creek can adequately support in-port activities of two 

WMECs.

Major Shore - Renovate Utilities at Air Station Barbers Point $20,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Funds a new electrical distribution system, associated components, and equipment to supply 

Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point with a dependable electrical power supply. The project 

requires close coordination and collaboration with the local electrical utility and the State of 

Hawaii to ensure compliance with national electrical distribution and utility systems standards. 

Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point is located at the southwest corner of the Kalaeloa Airport 

(a joint-use State of Hawaii airport). The airport and its surroundings are a former Naval air 

station closed in 2000 as a result of the 1993 Base Closure and Realignment Commission 

findings. All utilities have transferred ownership with the exception of the electrical utility which 

has been retained by the U.S. Navy and runs under the Kalaeloa Airport. Due to the degraded 

condition and lack of privatization interest, there is no plan for the electrical distribution system 

to be privatized.

The deteriorating, Navy-owned distribution system is the only source of electrical power to 

Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point and it is at the end of its useful service life. The poor 

reliability and maintainability of the existing system creates unacceptable mission impacts for the 

Air Station and the assigned aircraft. This project will help ensure viability of Air Station 

Barbers Point for all required Coast Guard activities.

U.S. Coast Guard - FY 2016 Congressional Justification

Major Shore - Replace Dry-dock Facility at CG Yard (OAKRIDGE) Phase I $6,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Funds Phase I of the replacement of floating dry-dock capacity at the Coast Guard Yard, the 

Coast Guard’s only organic shipyard. Phase I includes wharf and waterside demolition, 

construction, and the disposal of the floating dry-dock OAKRIDGE. Subsequent Phase II efforts 

would include demolition and construction of a landside transfer platform, a west berth, and a 

rail mounted portal crane.

The 536-foot long floating dry-dock OAKRIDGE was commissioned for Navy service in 1944.

OAKRIDGE constitutes 20% of dry-dock capacity at the Coast Guard Yard; this dry-dock 

capacity is required in order to execute In-Service Vessel Sustainment projects, critical ship 

maintenance and repair work, as well as meet future unplanned and emergent repairs. The 

remaining 80% of the Coast Guard Yard’s dry-dock capacity is provided by a ship-lift, which is 

a single lift and rail system that enables a ship to be lifted and then transferred in a horizontal 

direction to provide additional space for another vessel. Phase II efforts would add capacity to 

the landside transfer area available for vessels dry-docked by the ship-lift.

OAKRIDGE is beyond its useful service life and in extremely poor material condition. In 2011, 

OAKRIDGE sank, and while it was temporarily returned to service in November 2013, it is not 

likely it can remain in service past 2017. With continued deterioration and the end-of-service of 

OAKRIDGE, the Yard will lose 20% dry-dock capacity. Funding will ensure the Yard’s organic 

ship repair capability is sustained, allowing the Coast Guard to complete repair, maintenance, 

and In Service Sustainment for Coast Guard vessels.

Major Shore - Protect Waterfront Operations at Siuslaw River, OR $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Funds erosion control work for the Station Siuslaw River, Oregon waterfront. The scope of work 

involves shoreline stabilization to stop the loss of approximately 1.5 feet of shore line and 

approximately 3 inches of river bottom per year.

As a result of shoreline erosion, there is danger that Station Siuslaw River can lose the elevated 

walkway leading to the Station’s covered mooring for the ready boats. Twice during the past 10 

years, Station personnel have had to limit access to the covered mooring during periods of high 

wind due to instability of the structure in the river bottom. Additional pilings and bracing have 

been placed around the perimeter of the moorings to provide temporary stabilization. 

This project will ensure Station Siuslaw River remains a viable facility to support Coast Guard 

operations in this area.

Station’s lease with the California Military Academy expired in 2001. The temporary buildings 

are undersized for the number of station personnel and are in poor condition. The new facilities 

will provide permanent facilities in Vallejo, California, which is centrally located in the Station’s 

area of responsibility that covers San Pablo and Suisun Bays. This project will help ensure 

Station Vallejo can perform critical Coast Guard missions from this location.

Major Acquisition Systems Infrastructure (MASI) $54,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request supports shore facility infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction 

associated with home-porting new or modified cutters, boats, and aircraft. The project also 

supports infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction to provide logistics, 

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

Facility and Infrastructure Upgrades – Funding in FY 2016 will complete the following 

facility upgrades and infrastructure improvements:

• Pier, support facility, shore-power modifications, and associated base infrastructure 

improvements to support the National Security Cutter homeport at USCG Base Honolulu.

This home-port will accommodate two NSCs. The funding will support the design and 

construction of homeport facility additions, improvements, and renovations at Honolulu, HI.

The funding provides improvements such as electrical and other shore-tie upgrades; dredging 

to accommodate deeper drafts where necessary; structural improvements to the piers and 

wharfs to accommodate larger loads; relocation and/or incorporation of existing Base 

Honolulu functions, both waterfront and shore side, for proximity and constructability; shore 

side facilities for storage, maintenance, and other in-port activities associated with the arrival 

of the new NSCs. This location is essential to the planned operational force lay-down and 

needs to be modified in order to accommodate the NSCs. The funding enables facilities to 

meet asset delivery schedules and threshold facilities requirements based on NSC 

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

schedules.

• New Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) depot maintenance facilities at the Aviation 

Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. This project provides funding for 

a new hangar to perform depot-level maintenance on MRS aircraft to include the HC-144A 

and C-27J. ALC will have a steadily increasing depot-level maintenance workload as the C27J airframes are introduced into the USCG fleet. This project will allow for the efficient and 

effective execution of C-27J programmed depot-level maintenance at ALC alongside the 

HC-144 aircraft.

• Provide engineering, environmental, and feasibility studies and analyses for future-year 

facilities projects covered under this acquisition program. This funding establishes a 5-year 

planning window to properly budget for force location decisions in association with future 

asset deliveries. Planning activities will integrate siting decisions for different classes of 

cutters and aircraft over the long-term planning horizon. This funding also covers any 

support contracts necessary to maintain the day-to-day functions, oversight, support, and 

management of this appropriation.

CG-AC&I-68
Contract Information

Minor AC&I Shore Construction Projects $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

Provides funds to complete minor AC&I shore facility construction projects. These projects are 

typically less complex and require less advance planning than major shore projects. Funds will 

be used to complete minor projects that have cost estimates which exceed the construction 

authority provided in the Operating Expense appropriation. For example, this may include:

• Emergency repair projects which have cost estimates that are greater than 50% of the plant 

replacement value;

• Minor facility improvements, which cost more than one million dollars, that are needed to 

adapt to changing facility activities.

Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) $0

Project Description, Justification and Scope

NAIS is a data collection, processing, and distribution system being implemented in accordance 

with the Maritime Transportation Security Act. The project provides the necessary capability to 

ensure the effective exchange of information between AIS-equipped vessels, aircraft, aids to 

navigation, and shore stations within all major U.S. ports, waterways, and coastal zones. The data 

collected by NAIS will be shared with other pertinent stakeholders and decision makers in 

support of maritime security at critical ports. NAIS correlates Advanced Notice of Arrival data 

with Automatic Identification System (AIS) data to identify higher interest vessels.

NAIS is recapitalizing the existing interim capability in 58 ports with the permanent solution 

design and technology via the core system upgrade. To the extent feasible, NAIS equipment is 

being co-located with Rescue 21 (R21) infrastructure.

FY2014 Key Events

• Achieved IOC for the Permanent Transceive System and continued deployment out to

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Mission Statement

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 (R&D) Program 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. RDT&E funding also supports riskreduction expertise and services in the pre-acquisition process of major and non-major acquisition projects.

FY 2016 request includes an increase for a 1.3 percent proposed pay raise for military and civilian personnel. The increase in 

civilian allowances is due to a rise in government normal cost contribution for various Federal Employee benefits to include Federal 

Government Life Insurance, Federal Employee Health Benefits, Federal Government Thrift Savings Plan contribution, and the 

requirement for non-recurring funding for the compensable workday of February 29, 2016.

BUDGET REQUEST AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION

United States Coast Guard

Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution

I. Appropriation Overview

A. Mission Statement for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution:

The Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution (MERHCF) 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, 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 FY 2016 President's Budget estimates that the Coast Guard's contributions will be $159.306

million for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution. The total adjustment-tobase is a decrease of $17,664,000. In the FY 2016 Budget, DoD proposes a multi-year plan to 

replace the current three TRICARE plans with a consolidated TRICARE Health Plan. The 2016 

proposals would increase co-pays for pharmaceuticals and implement an enrollment fee for new 

TRICARE-for-Life beneficiaries (similar to the reforms proposed in the FY 2015 Budget).This 

request will be paid to the DoD Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund to support the 

benefits outlined above. The Coast Guard’s annual budget estimate for MERHCF is calculated 

by multiplying the projected average for strength (FTE) by DoD actuary projected cost rates.

The FY 2016 President's Budget estimates that the Coast Guard's contributions will be $159.306

million for Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund.

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Contribution will fund accrual of the Coast 

Guard’s military Medicare-eligible health benefit contribution to the DoD Medicare-Eligible 

Retiree Health Care Fund. Contributions are for future Medicare-eligible retirees, retiree 

dependents, and survivors in the Coast Guard. Adjustments-to-Base include a decrease of 

$17,664,000 comprised of $9,541,000 in savings associated with 2016 TRICARE reform

proposals and $8,123,000 in savings from enacted 2015 Tricare reforms. In the FY 2016 

Budget, DoD proposes a multi-year plan to replace the current three TRICARE plans with a 

consolidated TRICARE Health Plan. The 2016 proposals would increase co-pays for 

pharmaceuticals and implement an enrollment fee for new TRICARE-for-Life beneficiaries 

(similar to the reforms proposed in the FY 2015 Budget).

BUDGET REQUEST AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION

United States Coast Guard

Retired Pay

I. Appropriation Overview

A. Mission Statement for Retired Pay:

The Retired Pay (RP) appropriation provides payments as identified under the Retired 

Serviceman's Family Protection and Survivor Benefits Plans, and other retired personnel 

entitlements identified under prior-year National Defense Authorization Acts. This 

appropriation includes payment for medical care of retired personnel and their dependents.

B. Budget Activities:

There are no budget activities directly related to providing this benefit to retired military 

personnel and their dependents.

C. Budget Request Summary:

The FY 2016 President's Budget estimates that the Coast Guard’s contributions will be $1.605

billion for Retired Pay. The total adjustment-to-base is an increase of $161,526,000 for FY 2016

Actuarial Adjustments. In the FY 2016 Budget, DoD proposes a multi-year plan to replace the 

current three TRICARE plans with a consolidated TRICARE Health Plan. The 2016 proposals 

would increase co-pays for pharmaceuticals and implement an enrollment fee for new 

TRICARE-for-Life beneficiaries (similar to the reforms proposed in the FY 2015 Budget). This

request supports the benefits outlined above and remains available until expended. The Retired 

Pay appropriation is scored as a mandatory appropriation.

BUDGET REQUEST AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION

United States Coast Guard

Boat Safety

I. Appropriation Overview

A. Mission Statement for Boat Safety:

The Boat Safety (BS) program applies preventive means and strategies 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:

Boat Safety activities include: overseeing manufacturer compliance with Coast Guard 

regulations; grant making 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:

The FY 2016 President's Budget requests 14 positions, 14 FTE and $115.776 million for Boat 

Safety. The total adjustments-to-base include a 1.3 percent pay raise for civilians and an 

increase in civilian allowances due to an increase in government contributions for various 

Federal Employee benefits. 

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. 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 2016 funding will be a percentage 

of FY 2015 trust fund receipts). Funds are available until expended, but are limited in purpose 

and amount in accordance with existing statute.

The FY 2016 President's Budget requests 14 positions, 14 FTE, and $115.776 million for Boat 

Safety. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This account provides grants for the development and implementation of a coordinated national 

recreational boating safety program. Boating safety statistics reflect the success in meeting the 

program's objectives. Pursuant to the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation 

Equity Act-A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU, P.L. 109-59), the Boat Safety program receives 

18.5 percent of the funds collected in the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund.

The FY 2016 budget reflects the anticipated level of funding that would be available from the 

trust fund for boating safety. This funding level is based on current estimates of 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 total request includes $107.612 million 

of estimated distribution from the trust fund for boating safety and $8.164 million of previously 

sequestered funds that become available for obligation in 2016. Of that amount, $5.500 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 non-profit public service organizations, and not 

more than two percent for Coast Guard expenses to administer State RBS programs.

Boat Safety Mission Statement

The Boat 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 2016 funding 

will be a percentage of FY 2015 trust fund receipts).

Benefits, Federal Government Thrift Savings Plan contribution, and the requirement for non-recurring funding for the compensable 

workday of Feb 29, 2016.

BUDGET REQUEST AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION

United States Coast Guard

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. The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the 

Coast Guard’s Marine Environment Protection mission and Maritime Response Program.

B. Budget Environmental Activities:

In Section Seven of Executive Order 12777, the President delegated management responsibility 

of the OSLTF to the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating. Upon 

re-delegation by the Secretary, the Commandant of the Coast Guard delegated responsibility to 

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

The NPFC:

• Provides funding for federal removal actions in response to a discharge or a substantial 

threat of discharge of oil to navigable waters of the United States;

• Compensates claimants for OPA removal costs or damages;

• Provides funding to natural resource trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessments 

(NRDA); 

• Administers the OSLTF.

C. Budget Request Summary:

The FY 2016 President’s Budget estimates that expenditures from this account will total 

$101.000 million for the Maritime Oil Spill Program. These estimated expenditures consist of a 

$50,000,000 transfer for immediate federal oil spill response, an estimated $1,000,000 payment 

to the Prince William Sound Oil Spill Recovery Institute, and an estimated $50,000,000 to 

compensate claimants for uncompensated OPA removal costs and damages, including natural 

resource damages.

CG-ACC-26
Chicago Sanitary and Ship 

Canal (CSSC) Marine Safety 

Risk Analysis

Evaluated risks to marine safety for 

commercial and recreational 

mariners that transit the CSSC in 

the vicinity of the fish barrier to 

determine adequacy of present risk 

mitigation strategies and made 

recommendations for alternatives.

This effort provided the basis 

for appropriate regulatory 

guidance to ensure safety of 

life and property in concert 

with effective prevention of an 

Asian Carp invasion into the 

Great Lakes ecosystem.

The model will be used to 

support decision-making on

Coast Guard acquisition 

projects.

Cost Benefit Analysis of Boat 

Lifts

Evaluated boat maintenance and 

repair costs to determine if costs are 

reduced sufficiently by storing 

Coast Guard boats out of the water 

on a boat lift or similar system to 

offset the costs of installation, 

maintenance, operation and training 

of the storage system.

Analysis saved $22 million in 

procurement costs of lifts for 

746 Coast Guard boats.

Non-Lethal Impact Munitions 

(NLIM) Analysis

of night vision technology 

improvements that could aid Coast 

Guard operations and offer the 

coxswain the ability to have 

improved low-light mission 

capabilities.

The evaluation of night vision 

technologies indicates 

significant improvements in 

key areas such as field of 

vision and depth perception 

beyond current Coast Guard 

fielded devices. The increased 

capabilities in nighttime 

visibility would increase 

safety.

CG-ACC-27

samples to a laboratory.

The assessment of potential 

drug detection devices 

indicated that the current 

technology available is not yet 

mature enough for adequate 

testing, and with no national 

legal standards in place, 

procurement should not be 

pursued at this time. This 

assessment prevented a 

premature investment in 

technology.

Counter Drug (CD)/Alien 

Migrant Interdiction 

Operations (AMIO) Game 

Theory Scoping Study

Completed a preliminary 

assessment of game theory 

application to CD/AMIO patrol 

scheduling in the Coast Guard

Military Housing Resolution of Deficiencies Report to Congress

DHS expects that final FY 2015 appropriations action by Congress will incorporate the 

existing reporting requirements from Appropriations Committee explanatory statements. 

Consistent with the Senate Appropriation Committee (SAC) report 113-198, the 

information presented below fulfills the following Senate directive:

The Committee directs the Coast Guard to include with the congressional budget 

justification for fiscal year 2016 information detailing how deficiencies identified 

in the Coast Guard’s National Housing Assessment report have been resolved or 

plan to be resolved in the upcoming year. The information shall include progress 

made in: resolving housing identified as inadequate from a health and safety 

concern; right-sizing the housing inventory; the development of regional 

maintenance contracts; and addressing the need for new housing. Finally, the 

report shall also identify how operational maintenance funds for divested housing 

are being reinvested into the most critical housing needs in the remaining 

inventory.

CG-REP-1
Information on Resolution of Deficiencies in Housing

A number of actions to address excess inventory and deficiencies identified in the national 

housing assessment have occurred since 2012, and the Coast Guard continues to take action to 

improve the state of the program. Areas of focus include addressing health and safety 

concerns in family housing, right-sizing the housing inventory, and reinvesting divested 

housing maintenance funding. 

Resolving Housing Health and Safety Concern

The Coast Guard continues to correct health and safety-related issues through the 

prioritization of operational and unit maintenance funding. For larger and more complex 

projects, the Coast Guard conducts annual assessment boards at the national level and Coast 

Guard District level to prioritize projects with a clear goal of eliminating health-related issues. 

Funding in Fiscal Year 2014 included $14.4 million in routine maintenance and small projects 

(PPA IV) and $14.0 million in major maintenance projects (PPA VI). These funds were used 

to correct heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, repair electrical systems, replace 

unsafe water heaters, and address other health and safety concerns.

Right-Sizing the Housing Inventory

The Coast Guard continues to identify and divest surplus housing. Since 2010, approximately 

1,080 homes have been identified as being excess to Housing Program needs and approved for 

divestiture. This total represents approximately one quarter of the Coast Guard’s housing 

inventory. In 2014, the Coast Guard executed a Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA) 

with the General Services Administration (GSA) to sell 13 properties, consisting of 234 

housing units. This agreement is in addition to the RWA previously executed in 2013 for the 

sale of 131 housing units and one land parcel already in various stages of the sales process. 

The Coast Guard will continue to assess, identify, and dispose of surplus housing in Fiscal 

Year 2015 and beyond. 

Development of Regional Maintenance Contracts

The Coast Guard is consolidating existing maintenance contracts within the San Francisco 

Bay area to reduce overhead and administrative costs. Development of regional maintenance 

contracts in other locations has been deferred while the Coast Guard focuses on right-sizing 

the housing inventory.

Reinvestment of Divestiture Funds

Operational and unit maintenance funds associated with houses scheduled for divestiture are 

being retained and reinvested in the remaining inventory. The Coast Guard uses a new budget 

development process that includes input and guidance from the Coast Guard’s Housing Asset 

Line Manager to ensure the most critical maintenance priorities are funded. 

CG-REP-2
CG-REP-3 

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

The Coast Guard's prioritized listing of projects eligible for future EC&R funding reflects 

the Coast Guard’s review of current EC&R requirements and consolidation of projects. 

This list contains 198 projects with an estimated total cost of $144.1 million. Estimated 

costs include restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation 

work, site remediation work, and long-term monitoring) to be executed across several 

years (e.g., long-term monitoring can potentially extend out to 30 years). The following 

table provides a detailed listing of future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as 

new information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes 

available. 

The information presented below fulfills the following Senate directive in accordance 

with the Explanatory Statement that accompanied P.L. 113-76:
