United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context 

USCG - 1 

A. Component Overview

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

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

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

resources on our rivers, in the ports, on the high seas, and in theaters around the world. The Coast 

Guard’s unique authorities, versatile assets, and 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 and 

meets the security needs outlined above. The Coast Guard serves the nation as a highly skilled and 

ready force to provide for and protect: 

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 value and relevance of the Coast Guard to the Nation remain stronger than ever. The past 

decade has seen great change for the Coast Guard. Investment in the Coast Guard is important and 

necessary to protect those on the sea, the Nation, and the sea itself. Coast Guard missions remain 

more relevant than ever, and in the years since the September 11th terrorist attacks, we have 

renewed our focus and resolve to safeguard the United States as part of the Department of 

Homeland Security. Today, the breadth of Coast Guard missions and capabilities is essential to 

protecting the homeland and preserving America's national interests. Continued investment in the 

Coast Guard is essential – even in a constrained fiscal environment. 

The Coast Guard continues to safeguard lives, protect the natural environment and key resources, 

facilitate safe maritime trade, and protect the livelihoods of citizens who depend on use of the 

oceans and waterways. The Coast Guard’s persistent presence, enabled through its strategically 

positioned personnel and assets and array of partnerships, ensures a constant watch over the 

maritime domain. Through this presence, the Coast Guard prevents and responds to maritime 

hazards and threats in a rapidly changing marine environment marked by globalization, increased 

world trade, changing environmental conditions and growing competition for finite natural 

resources. 

In the shadow of this growth in maritime usage, illegal harvesting of fish stocks and living marine 

resources both in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and global commons threatens the food 

supply and the Nation’s economic interests, including the livelihoods of fishermen who depend on 

the United States’ $31.5 billion per year fishing industry. Increased access to the Arctic is bringing 

an increase in shipping activity and energy exploration. This increased activity, coupled with the 

harsh environment, requires updated capabilities to provide oversight, enforce laws and regulations, 

prevent and respond to accidents, and safeguard the environment. Criminal organizations continue 

to develop new and increasingly sophisticated means to avoid detection at sea. The use of selfpropelled semi-submersible vessels to introduce drugs and contraband into the United States has 
United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context 

USCG - 2 

increased the level of difficulty for detecting and disrupting criminal activity. The Coast Guard’s 

FY 2013 budget request allocates resources to the highest priority initiatives to counter these 

threats, mitigate risks, and keep the maritime domain safe and secure. 

The Coast Guard employs a strategic approach for countering these threats and responding to the 

full spectrum of incidents in the maritime domain through the execution of its eleven statutory 

missions and six DHS programs. Through these programs, the Coast Guard provides for the safety 

and security of the maritime domain: 

Maritime Security Operations encompass 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. The 

following statutory mission contributes to the Coast Guard’s Maritime Security Operations 

program: Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security (PWCS). 

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 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 waters. 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. 

The Maritime Prevention program prevents personnel 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. 

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 

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. 

The 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 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); Maritime Operational Threat Response (MOTR); Rotary Wing Air Intercept Operations; 

and Support for Theater Security Cooperation Initiatives. The following statutory mission 

contributes to the Coast Guard’s Defense Operations program: Defense Readiness. 
United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context 

USCG - 3 

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 and Ice Operations. 

FY 2013 Budget Request

The Coast Guard’s FY 2013 Budget strikes the optimal balance between current operations and 

investment in future capability to sustain the Coast Guard’s ability to execute its existing missions, 

and address the Nation’s most pressing operational risks. While the fiscal environment has 

undoubtedly changed, this overarching strategy remains fundamentally sound. In FY 2013, the 

Coast Guard’s Budget request continues to balance investment of funds between sustainment of 

front-line operations and investing in new cutters, boats, aircraft and shore infrastructure. The 

investment in new assets is critical to ensure the Coast Guard remains capable of carrying out our 

missions today and well into the future. 

The Coast Guard’s most important strategic priorities are: 

1. Responsibly Rebuild the Coast Guard 

2. Efficiently Preserve Front-line Operations 

3. Strengthen Resource and Operational Stewardship 

4. Prepare for the Future 

Responsibly Rebuild the Coast Guard

The Coast Guard continues to focus resources on recapitalizing cutters, boats, aircraft, and 

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

(C4ISR) systems, critical to sustaining the ability to accomplish Coast Guard missions well into the 

future. In FY 2013, the Coast Guard will procure the sixth National Security Cutter, two Fast 

Response Cutters, cutter boats, complete the Mission Effectiveness Project on the Medium 

Endurance Cutter fleet, procure one Maritime Patrol Aircraft, continue sustainment and conversion 

work of in-service aircraft, continue pre-acquisition activities for the Offshore Patrol Cutter, initiate 

an acquisition project for a new Polar Icebreaker, and invest in shore infrastructure. These targeted 

investments are absolutely critical to replacing and sustaining aging in-service assets, and are key to 

maintaining future capability. Specifically, the Coast Guard’s FY 2013 Budget provides: 

• $658 million for production of the sixth National Security Cutter (NSC); NSC’s replace the 

aging fleet of High Endurance Cutters, first commissioned in 1967. The acquisition of 

NSC-6 is vital for performing DHS missions in the far off-shore regions, including the harsh 

operating environment of the Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, as well as providing for robust 

homeland security contingency response. 

• $139 million to procure Fast Response Cutters (FRC) 19-20. These assets replace the aging 

fleet of 110-foot patrol boats, and provide the coastal capability to conduct search and 
United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context 

USCG - 4 

rescue, enforce border security, interdict drugs, uphold immigration laws, prevent terrorism, 

and ensure resiliency to disasters. 

• $43 million for production of the 18th HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The HC-144A 

fleet will provide enhanced maritime surveillance and medium airlift capability over the 

legacy HU-25 aircraft that they replace. The HU-25s will all be removed from service by 

the end of their planned service life, in FY 2014. 

• $41 million for C4ISR design across multiple assets allowing the Coast Guard to see, hear, 

comprehend and communicate what is happening in the Nation’s maritime regions. It will 

expand interoperable radio and satellite communication systems and optical/radar sensors 

and will improve sightings in total darkness and detecting maritime targets in all weather 

conditions. 

• $69 million for shore infrastructure recapitalization and improvements in support of new 

asset deliveries and to replace aging buildings, piers, and other facilities. 

Efficiently Preserve Front-line Operations

To ensure the Coast Guard remains ready to meet the Nation’s safety and security requirements, the 

FY 2013 Budget request provides a balance between sustaining front-line operational capacity and 

rebuilding the Coast Guard. The FY 2013 Budget provides funding to operate and maintain Coast 

Guard assets and sustain essential front-line operations. Key investments include funding the 

operation of new assets delivered through acquisition programs, investment in military workforce 

pay and benefits, and resources to support relocation of Headquarters from Buzzard’s Point to St. 

Elizabeths. Specifically, the FY 2013 Coast Guard Budget provides: 

• $89 million increase to base resources to fund increases in pay for civilian and active duty 

military personnel. This amount also provides for mandatory benefits and allowances for 

military members including housing, health care, and permanent change of station (PCS) 

expenses necessary to sustain the workforce at parity with DoD. 

• $48 million increase to base resources to operate assets delivered through the Coast Guard’s 

major acquisition and capital improvement programs, Fast Response Cutters, Response 

Boats-Medium, Maritime Patrol Aircraft, and new buildings and shore infrastructure. 

• $25 million in new funding to relocate and consolidate Headquarters activities at the St. 

Elizabeth’s facility. 

Strengthen Resource and Operational Stewardship

The FY 2013 Budget meets essential mission needs while simultaneously preparing for new and 

exigent demands. Through a comprehensive internal review of doctrine, policy, operations and 

mission support structure, the Coast Guard has focused resources and forces where they are most 

needed, with due recognition of the fiscal challenges facing the Nation. The Coast Guard remains 

committed to financial stewardship; the FY 2013 Budget includes resources to facilitate progress 

towards achieving an unqualified audit opinion on all financial statements and building upon the FY 

2011 achievement of a qualified audit opinion on the September 30, 2011 Consolidated Balance 

Sheet. The FY 2013 Budget also proposes administrative and programmatic efficiencies to improve 

effectiveness and service delivery, while continuing investment in Coast Guard activities that 

provide the highest return on investment. 

In addition to leveraging these savings and efficiencies, the budget proposes targeted reductions to 

achieve sustainable investments in recapitalization programs and the future operational capacity 
United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context 

USCG - 5 

they will provide. These targeted reductions, totaling in excess of $151 million, reduce the number 

of Coast Guard Headquarters positions, reduce program funding where it is no longer needed or will 

have the lowest impact to operations and mission support, decommissions legacy assets including 

two more High Endurance Cutters and three more 110-foot patrol boats, and disestablishes the High 

Tempo High Maintenance (HTHM) program for 110-foot patrol boats now that new cutters are 

beginning to arrive in the fleet, to replace these boats. 

Prepare for the Future

The Coast Guard continuously identifies and prepares for emerging maritime threats facing the 

Service and the Nation. The FY 2013 Budget request recognizes the criticality of the Arctic as a 

strategic National priority, given increasing presence and interest by other Nations, the 

preponderance of natural resources available in this region, and increasing maritime commercial 

and recreational activity. Specifically the FY 2013 Coast Guard Budget provides: 

• $8 million to initiate acquisition of a new Icebreaker to ensure the Nation is able to maintain 

a surface presence in the Polar Regions well into the future. 

• $6 million for recapitalization and expansion of helicopter hangar facilities in Cold Bay, 

AK, and recapitalization of aviation re-fueling facilities at Sitkinak, AK. These investments 

will sustain the Coast Guard’s ability to establish effective presence in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Chain - the “gateway” to the Arctic.

B. Component Contributions to Achieving QHSR 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 

governance and enforcement in the maritime domain and is a deterrent to terrorist and other illicit 

activity. 

The table below shows the alignment of the Coast Guard programs to the DHS Missions. 

Mission 1: Preventing Terrorism and Enhancing Security

Major Coast Guard activities that support Preventing Terrorism and Enhancing Security fall under 

the Maritime Security Operations, Maritime Prevention, and Defense Operations Programs. 

The Coast Guard, through its Maritime Security Operations, is the key maritime element of 

DHS’s Preventing Terrorism and Enhancing Security mission. In the ports and on the waterways, 

the Coast Guard works to mitigate the risk of terrorist or other security threats. The vulnerabilities 

of critical infrastructure and key resources located on or near the water are mitigated though such 

activities as random patrols, enforcing security zones and conducting security escorts of certain 

vessels (e.g. vessels containing hazardous cargo) in key U.S. ports and waterways. Conducting 

anti-terrorism patrols deters and disrupts the use of the waterways for transport of individuals with 

criminal intent and dangerous or illicit cargo. 

The Coast Guard, through certain activities within its Maritime Prevention program, protects 

critical infrastructure and key resources by identifying high risk vessels to board and inspect. The 

Coast Guard regularly inspects port facilities for compliance with security regulations. These 

activities enhance the security of the marine transportation system at its core, while balancing the

needs and flow of commerce. When necessary, rules and regulatory standards are developed to 

enhance maritime security. 

The Coast Guard possesses both unique civil and military authorities applicable in the maritime 

domain. With a fully integrated approach to national and homeland security set forth in the 2010

National Security Strategy, the Coast Guard is the leader in the interagency coordination of 

maritime activities through its Defense Operations program. The Coast Guard enhances security 

in the homeland with its Rotary Wing Air Intercept (RWAI) capability for the National Capital 

Region (NCR) and other National Special Security Events. In addition, the Coast Guard trains and 

establishes relationships with our global maritime partners, which strengthens homeland security.

Strategic Performance Plan Measures

There are currently no approved strategic performance plan measures for this mission. 
United States Coast Guard - Strategic Context

Management Measures

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

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

maritime security representatives) of likely 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 associated decreases in threat, vulnerability and consequence. (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 FY11 - FY16 have increased due to a revised methodology that took 

effect in FY11. 

Fiscal Year: FY 2008 FY 2009 FY 2010 FY 2011 FY 2012 FY 2013

Target: 15% 21% >19% >44% >44% >45%

Actual: 20% 31% 28% 44% N/A N/A

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

management 

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

reduction due to consequence mgmt, as a % of the risk that USCG has the ability to impact. This is a risk - 

based measure that involves the scoring (by maritime security representatives) of likely high - consequence 

maritime terrorist attack scenarios with respect to threat, vulnerability, consequence. Scoring generates an 

index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG incremental interventions (both operational & 

regulatory-based) that have occurred throughout the FY are scored against the attack scenarios with regard 

to the % decrease in threat, vulnerability consequence that each has been estimated to have afforded. The 

resultant measure shows the change in "raw risk" (due, in large part, to things outside of the USCG's ability 

to control) the reduction in total risk the USCG estimates it has affected. Targets for FY11 - 16 have 

increased due to a revised methodology that took effect in FY11.

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

terrorist from entering the U.S. via maritime means 

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

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

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

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

terrorist(s) into the U.S. with intent and capability to carry out terror attacks within the United States where 

vessels en route from foreign countries are used as a means of conveyance. Such scoring generates an index 

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

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

the effectiveness each has been estimated to have afforded. Targets for FY11 - 16 have increased due to a 

revised methodology that took effect in FY11.

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 en route from foreign countries are used as a means of 

conveyance. Scoring generates an index of "raw risk" that exists in the maritime domain. USCG

Mission 2: Securing and Managing Our Borders

The major Coast Guard programs that support Securing and Managing our Borders are Maritime 

Law Enforcement and Maritime Prevention. 

The Coast Guard is the principal Federal maritime law enforcement agency that directly supports 

Securing and Managing Our Borders in the inland waterways, ports, littorals and on the high seas. 

The Maritime Law Enforcement program leverages Coast Guard civil authorities to prevent the 

illegal use of U.S. maritime approaches and waterways. The Coast Guard uses cutters, boats, 

aircraft and sensors to enforce drug, migrant, and anti-smuggling laws in the maritime domain. 

The Coast Guard, through its Maritime Prevention program, secures key transportation nodes 

through security/background checks to ensure unauthorized and illicit individuals do not gain access 

to or disrupt key transportation and commerce nodes. In addition, potential risks to our borders are 

mitigated through the screening of all crew, passengers, and cargo of vessels over 300 gross tons 

prior to arrival in the U.S. waters.

(TWIC) regulations 

Description of Measure: This measure reports the percent of Maritime Transportation Security Act 

(MTSA) regulated facilities that are found to be in compliance with the Transportation Worker Identification 

Card (TWIC) regulations during CG inspections. The Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port 

Act of 2006 requires the Coast Guard to conduct at least two MTSA security inspections on regulated 

facilities each year; one announced and one unannounced. CG Inspectors randomly sample different areas of 

a facility (admin staff, security staff, dock workers, etc.) to check for TWIC compliance by ensuring workers 

have a valid and current TWIC card. Some infractions can be corrected on the spot, e.g., a trucker forgot his 

TWIC in his truck cab. Depending on the number and severity of TWIC infractions, the inspector/Capt of 

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

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

Mission 5: Ensuring Resilience to Disasters

Most Coast Guard programs support Ensuring Resilience to Disasters through their multi-mission 

capability to surge resources as needed for response to an incident of national significance. In this 

role, the most significant program is Maritime Response. 

By maintaining a readiness posture and establishing presence in our ports, waterways and on the 

high seas, the Coast Guard is the leading federal disaster responder on the water. The Coast 

Guard’s Maritime Response program supports resilience to disasters through risk assessments, allhazards plan development, training, exercises, and daily operations. The Coast Guard stands ready 

to respond to and aid in mass recovery operations from man-made incidents or natural disasters 

affecting national and key international maritime communities. The Coast Guard continuously 

improves its capabilities in emergency management and seamlessly integrates into the National 

Incident Management System (NIMS) through the entire emergency management cycle.

Performance Measures 

U.S. Coast Guard contributes to this mission, but does not have its own strategic-level or 

management-level performance measures in this area. 

Providing Essential Support to National and Economic Security

Major Coast Guard programs that are Providing Essential Support to National and Economic 

Security include Maritime Law Enforcement, Maritime Prevention, Maritime Response, Defense 

Operations, and Marine Transportation System Management. 

The Coast Guard directly contributes to Providing Essential Support to National and Economic 

Security as the primary federal maritime law enforcement agency. Specifically, the Maritime Law 

Enforcement program leverages Coast Guard civil authority to enforce laws and prevent illegal use 

of U.S. maritime approaches and waterways. In this domain, the Coast Guard enforces protection 

laws. Cutters, boats, and aircraft patrol the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to prevent illegal 

foreign fishing and ensure domestic compliance. Marine protection and fisheries laws are enforced 

through surveillance, boarding and inspecting of vessels, people, and cargo. 

The Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention program contributes to Providing Essential Support to 

National and Economic Security through development, implementation and enforcement of 

regulatory actions. The Coast Guard develops and enforces marine safety and security standards, 

performs recreational boating safety inspections and licenses U.S. mariners. Broader objectives are 

met through the inspection of waterfront facilities and cargo containers to ensure risks to life, 

property and the environment are reduced. Additionally, Coast Guard investigators document and 

evaluate marine casualties and security and environmental incidents to make recommendations for 

implementing new standards that further protect the marine environment and ensure the safe 

operation of the MTS. 

 

The Coast Guard contributes to Providing Essential Support to National and Economic Security 

through the Maritime Response program. Trained personnel, capable air and surface assets, and 

command and control elements provide expertise and flexibility in responding to environmental and 

marine pollution incidents both in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, the Coast Guard maintains a 

24-hour watch for security incidents and distress calls both in U.S. waters and on the high seas and 

to respond to safeguard life in the maritime environment 

The Coast Guard via its Defense Operations program provides unique authorities and capabilities 

to Providing Essential Support to National and Economic Security. Specific activities include port 

security for military cargo and support to DoD for defense operations. 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 Coast Guard contributes to Providing Essential Support to National and Economic Security 

through the Marine Transportation System (MTS) Management program. By maintaining 

navigational aids and disseminating information to mariners, providing vessel traffic services, 

breaking ice, and enforcing safety standards, the Coast Guard assures safe and secure flow of people 

and goods in the nation’s maritime regions.

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

Description of Measure: 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 allowed 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 response times, 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 1970s and conducted a full review of the standard in 1992. The standard is based on 

survival expectations in the average weighted water temperatures.

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 providing maritime safety, security, and stewardship to the Nation. 

B. Budget Activities:

The Operating Expenses (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 in support of the Coast Guard’s six DHS FYHSP Programs. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests 48,385 positions, 48,784 FTE, and $6.8 billion for FY 2013. Total 

adjustments-to-base include a net increase of $11.4 million, and a net decrease of 471 FTE. 

The Coast Guard’s OE request includes $189.3 million in new funding that includes the 

annualization of prior year funding and FY 2012 military pay raise; and supports the pay 

increase for military (1.7 percent) and civilian (0.5 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. shore facilities, Response BoatMedium (RB-M), Interagency Operations Centers (IOC), Rescue 21 (R21), Fast Response Cutter 

(FRC), and HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA)). 

The FY 2013 budget makes necessary trade-offs to meet today’s needs and challenges, while 

simultaneously preparing for new and exigent demands. Through a comprehensive internal 

review of doctrine, policy, operations and mission support structure, the Coast Guard has focused 

OE resources and forces where they are most needed. The OE adjustments-to-base include 

decreases of $181.6 million to focus resources toward these higher priorities, including 

recapitalizing aged, obsolete assets. Decreases include the termination of one-time costs; 

annualization of prior year management efficiencies; vessel decommissionings, disestablishment 

of High-Tempo-High Maintenance (HTHM) patrol boat operations; fixed wing aircraft 

retirements; closing seasonal Air Facilities; enterprise-wide efficiencies and programmatic 

reductions. 

Program increases include $24.5 million for the move of Coast Guard Headquarters to the DHS 

Consolidated Headquarters campus at St. Elizabeths, with the eventual goal to consolidate DHS 

headquarters activities to this new location.

The Coast Guard requests $3.4 billion for this activity. 

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 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. Pay estimates account for 

OMB-published pay inflation factors for the fiscal year in question. 

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

the only military organization within the Department of Homeland Security, 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 far offshore. The unique, multi-mission 

character of the Coast Guard requires personnel to safeguard lives, protect the natural 

environment and key resources, facilitate safe and secure maritime trade, and protect the 

livelihoods of citizens who depend on use of the oceans and waterways. 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. 

Active duty military personnel 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 its statutory missions. As the Nation’s 

maritime first responder, the Coast Guard must not only be effective in its daily operations, but 

also remain ready for emergent missions and contingencies; aware of maritime conditions and 

activities in order to detect, deter and defeat threats early; and, when called upon, be responsive 

with the right capabilities at the right time.

The Coast Guard requests $930.1 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 a blend of organic maintenance and 

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

and execution program exists within the Coast Guard to provide routine organizational-level and 

depot level maintenance. Where expertise or infrastructure does not exist organically within the 

Service, the Coast Guard uses contracted resources to provide the requisite maintenance support. 

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

including: (1) field-level input provided in casualty, mishap, and annual engineering assessments 

and reports; (2) engineering/support provider input in the form of centrally managed maintenance 

data/trend analysis, observations of experienced technical/engineering personnel, and 

prioritization of issues/needs; and (3) Coast Guard Headquarters level involvement in the 

collation of Coast Guard-wide data/trend analysis, input from the Atlantic and Pacific Area 

Operational Commanders and their support providers, and development of corrective strategies. 

Recognizing the need to sustain and invest resources for in-service assets, the Coast Guard has 

preserved the depot level maintenance portion of the current services base from reductions and 

offsets. 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: 

Aircraft. Includes service-wide funding to support programmed 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 intended to meet operational availability targets in the most cost 

effective means possible. 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 or infeasible to perform at the 

operating unit level. 

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

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

installation, major maintenance, and casualty response for 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. 

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, code compliance, rebuilding, 

renovations, alterations, demolition activities 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 piers/bulkheads/wharfs/ripraps, 

communications and navigation system towers, utility systems, emergency generators, fuel 

systems, roads and runways). It also includes support for fixed Aids to Navigation (AtoN) 

structures (ashore and afloat) 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. 

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 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 periodically for inflation. 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.

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

perform its statutory missions. Funding is requested to operate and maintain new assets that will 

transition from the acquisition program to the operations in FY 2013 or to prepare crews in 

advance of that transition. 

Fast Response Cutter (FRC) O&M for hulls 8 and 9 ($3.294M): Provides operation and 

maintenance funding for Key West, FL-based FRCs, hulls #8 and #9. The FRC is larger and 

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

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

immigrations laws, enforcing border 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. 
Fast Response Cutter (FRC) Crews 9 and 10 ($4.731M/67FTP/35FTE): Provides personnel 

to operate and maintain Key West, FL-based FRC hulls #9 and #10. Advance arrival of the 

crews is critical to ensure appropriate training and readiness prior to delivery. 

FRC Follow-on Support ($4.819M/65FTP/33FTE): Provides personnel for shore-side support 

for FRCs homeported in Key West, FL. These billets will fully staff the Maintenance 

Augmentation Team (MAT) for the Key West homeport. In addition, FRC support personnel are 

provided for the Asset Program Office (APO) and Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) that 

provide centralized support for the entire FRC fleet. 

Cutter Asset Training System ($1.559M/11FTP/6FTE): Provides personnel and funding 

necessary for Coast Guard Training System courses identified in the Master Training List for the 

National Security Cutter (NSC) and the Fast Response Cutter (FRC). The requested personnel 

and funding support training on ship-specific systems to ensure crew performance standards are 

achieved. These personnel and funding are required to operate and maintain training and 

simulation systems, develop curricula, and conduct human performance and training analysis. 

The resources will ensure the Coast Guard fulfills the training requirements for the crews and 

personnel that will operate and maintain newly acquired NSCs and FRCs. 

HC-144A Aircraft Follow-on ($18.333M/68FTP/46FTE): Provides funding for the operation 

and maintenance of Maritime Patrol Aircraft (HC-144A) #14 and #15, and funding for personnel 

to operate and support aircraft #15 and #16. In addition, this proposal provides funding for 

personnel at the HC-144A aircraft Sensor/C4ISR Operator Training Division and Coast Guard 

Aviation Training Center to ensure sensor doctrine, training and standardization requirements are 

met. 

Air Station Cape Cod Transition ($3.515M/13FTP/7FTE): In FY 2013, Coast Guard Air 

Station Cape Cod will transition from operating HU-25 aircraft to operating HC-144A aircraft, a 

change from a medium low-wing fanjet aircraft to a high-wing turboprop patrol and transport 

aircraft. This request provides personnel and funding necessary to complete a change in aircraft 

type allowance, and programmed utilization rates. Funding will provide additional cargo 

weighing and loading equipment, lavatory service vehicles, larger aircraft check-stands, 

propeller dollies and engine stands, and larger aircraft tow tractors. 

HC-130H Flight Simulator Training ($.750M): Provides follow-on funding to support aircraft 

simulator training for HC-130H pilots, flight engineers, and navigators. The Coast Guard’s 

AC&I funded HC-130H conversion and sustainment project will change the configuration of 

these aircraft by upgrading avionics systems cockpit instruments. This flight simulation trainer 

will replicate the operation of the reconfigured aircraft, allowing flight crews to attain 

qualifications and maintain proficiency operating with the upgraded HC-130H flight systems.

Provides for more efficient mission execution by transitioning operating aircraft at Air Station 

Traverse City, MI from five H-65 to three H-60 rotary wing aircraft, in conjunction with closing 

two seasonal Air Facilities (AIRFACS) in Muskegon, MI and Waukegan, WI. The H-60 aircraft 

provide increased operational capability in the Great Lakes region over the currently assigned H65 aircraft. The H-60 helicopter has nearly double the flight time endurance of the H-65, thereby 

enabling additional operational range for all missions in the Great Lakes region. Additionally, 

the H-60 has superior operating capabilities in cold-weather over H-65s. Specifically, the H-60 

helicopter has the ability to fly in icing conditions, an atmospheric condition present in the 

Traverse City Area of Responsibility for up to five months of the year. 

Two H-60 helicopters, which currently support Operation Bahamas Turks and Caicos (OPBAT), 

will be reallocated from Air Station Clearwater, FL. One H-60, which currently supports the 

Maritime Security Response Team, will be reallocated from Air Station Elizabeth City, NC. 

In addition to current-year savings, this proposal will achieve nearly $37 million in cost 

avoidance by enabling the Coast Guard to re-purpose two H-65 aircraft from Air Station 

Traverse City; replacing aircraft lost during operational mishaps and precluding the need to 

procure new aircraft. Of the remaining three H-65 aircraft removed from Air Station Traverse 

City, two will be used as maintenance/operational spares, and one will be sent to long-term 

storage.

In FY 2013, the Coast Guard will drive efficiencies in targeted areas to sustain front-line 

operations, perform critical depot level maintenance activities on assets, continue fleet 

recapitalization, and fund higher priority Service requirements. Specifically, the Coast Guard 

will implement efficiencies in the following areas: 

Directed Purchasing/Professional Services: Reduces the use of service contracts for enterprisewide mission support and operational support activities. The Coast Guard will target the lowest 

priority activities to implement this reduction. Among the activities targeted for savings is 

development of external publications and documents. 

Logistics Functions: Consolidates and centralizes administrative, personnel support, supply and 

logistics functions at Base Support Units throughout the Coast Guard for co-located, but 

organizationally distinct units and activities. The consolidation of these logistics functions 

enables similar functions (i.e. human resources and personnel record management, inventory and 

supply, facility operation and management, health care administration, shipping/receiving) to be 

performed by fewer personnel at locations where Coast Guard personnel and activities are 

collocated. 

Strategic Sourcing: Optimizes the purchase of supplies and materials through more efficient use 

of supply chain operations, including centralized buying, bulk purchasing, and leveraging 

reduced pricing schedules from suppliers. 

Civilian Overtime: Reduces civilian overtime across the entire Coast Guard for activities that are 

not directly related to the execution of front-line operations. 

PCS Transfers: Reduces the number of Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves through the 

implementation of new reassignment processes for military members. This initiative will 

increase tour-lengths for certain positions, and maximize, to the extent possible, consecutive 

assignments within the same geographic area to minimize transfer costs. The Coast Guard will 

carefully manage personnel transfers to prevent limits on a military member's ability to gain 

geographically diverse experiences or professional growth opportunities across a member's 

career. 
Non-Operational Travel: Reduces non-operational travel related to professional development, 

off-site meetings, conferences, attending industry sponsored activities, external engagements, 

unit/site visits, and international engagements. 

Vehicle Fleet: Extends the minimum replacement cycle of Coast Guard owned vehicles to at 

least eight years. This initiative will also reduce the number of GSA leased vehicles in the Coast 

Guard’s vehicle fleet, and leverage smaller, less expensive vehicles where feasible to minimize 

costs. This initiative also garners savings by extending the in-service life of certain Coast Guard 

owned vehicles, including fire trucks and base/facility maintenance vehicles. 

Information Technology (IT): Reduces support levels for the operation and maintenance of 

enterprise IT systems, including command, control, communications, and computers systems; 

and infrastructure. The Coast Guard will implement these reductions in a manner that mitigates 

impacts to system and network performance for Coast Guard assets.

In FY 2013, the Coast Guard will make targeted reductions in several base program areas. These 

base adjustments recognize changes in requirements for selected activities and redirect resources 

toward higher-priorities, including critical recapitalization projects and essential frontline 

operations. 

Headquarters Staffing: Eliminates 222 positions at Coast Guard Headquarters through attrition 

and implementation of a civilian hiring freeze in the Washington, D.C. area; a small portion of 

these positions are currently vacant. This reduction to Coast Guard Headquarters preserves the 

Coast Guard’s critical capabilities to conduct front-line operations; mission support; 

development and implementation of national policies and regulations; and the capacity to 

complete and respond to reports, audits, questions for the record, inquiries, and informal requests 

for information. The Coast Guard will centralize functions, eliminate, scale or shift workload at 

work centers, and leverage technology and IT systems to increase productivity and accomplish 

work more efficiently. 

Organizational Performance Consultants: Reduces District capacity by 25 positions designated 

to provide the Coast Guard with strategic planning, professional leadership and management, and 

process improvement training. The Coast Guard will still maintain this core capability, 

centralized at the Headquarters level. 

Airborne Use of Force Capacity: Reduces Airborne Use of Force (AUF) capability for Ports, 

Waterways, and Coastal Security (PWCS) missions at six aviation units and centralizes this highend PWCS AUF capability on each coast. This initiative consolidates AUF PWCS capability at 

Elizabeth City, NC; and San Diego, CA with corresponding elimination of AUF programs at the 

following Air Stations: Air Station Cape Cod, MA; Air Station Clearwater, FL; Air Station 

Houston, TX; Air Station Kodiak, AK; Air Station Port Angeles, WA and Air Station San 

Francisco, CA. Based on lessons learned from use of the AUF capability to perform PWCS 

missions, the Coast Guard has determined from an overall risk perspective that the highest 

operational return on investment is to centralize this capability. 

Non-Reimbursable Detached Duty Positions: Reduces 36 non-reimbursable Detached DutyExternal (DDE) positions, targeting the lowest-priority of these external positions based on 

current mission priorities and an assessment of the most pressing needs. 
Military Recruiting: Reduces the military workforce recruiting program by 77 positions based 

on near-term workforce accession projections. The Coast Guard will reallocate remaining 

recruiters across all regions throughout all traditional recruiting territories to prevent any 

negative impact to the Coast Guard's successful efforts to recruit a diverse workforce. 

Selective Reenlistment Bonus: Reduces funding programmed for active duty military selective 

re-enlistment bonuses. The need for incentive pay targeting traditionally hard-to-fill specialties 

is projected to be limited in the near-term given the current employment outlook, reducing the 

need to utilize this workforce management tool in FY 2013. 

Mobile Training: Eliminates 16 positions from the Mobile Training Team and reorganizes this 

program, which provides assistance and training to international partners in the areas of national 

defense, homeland security, and maritime prevention. The impact of this reduction will be 

partially mitigated by augmenting the Mobile Training Team remaining core personnel with 

Coast Guard personnel attached to other units on a temporary-duty basis to deploy and assist 

with training missions. 

Vintage Vessel National Center of Expertise: Disestablishes the four-person Vintage Vessel 

National Center of Expertise (VVNCOE). The VVNCOE provides training and qualification 

programs for marine inspectors that perform deep draft vessel hull and machinery inspections for 

vintage vessels. The duties performed by these four positions will be assumed primarily by other 

Sector personnel within the Ninth Coast Guard District. 

Coast Guard Intelligence: Eliminates 57 Intelligence-related positions, including administrative 

support and Coast Guard Criminal Investigative Service billets from across the Coast Guard. 

The Coast Guard Intelligence program has grown by 800 positions over the last 10 years. This 

initiative eliminates positions at Coast Guard Headquarters, Areas, Districts, and Maritime 

Intelligence Fusion Centers; Intelligence Coordination Center; Deployable Operations Group; 

Coast Guard Investigative Service; Cryptologic Group, and the El Paso Intelligence Center. This 

reduction seeks to minimize impacts to tactical-level operational units.

Elizabeths. The new Coast Guard facilities at St. Elizabeths include office space, employee 

shared spaces, parking, and the Department Operations Center (Phase A), which will be tied into 

the National Operations Center during a subsequent phase of the DHS headquarters 

consolidation project. 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s move from Buzzards Point to St. Elizabeths is part of Phase 1 of the DHS 

headquarters consolidation project, and supports development of a “one-DHS” culture and 

directly enhances DHS unity of effort and organizational efficiency. 

Impact on Performance

The Department’s overarching plan to consolidate DHS components and activities at the Saint 

Elizabeths campus will enhance operational effectiveness and generate synergy between DHS 

entities.

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, C4IRS) and supporting systems. The FY 2013 request reflects operation of surface asset training systems.

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 2013 request reflects the net result of annualization of 

prior year management efficiencies, decommissioning of three 110' patrol boats, two High Endurance Cutters, 

disestablishment of patrol-boat HTHM operations, retirement of three HU-25 aircraft, enterprise-wide efficiencies, 

and surface and air asset follow-on costs.

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 2013 request is for 

operating surface asset and IOC training systems.

The FY 2013 request reflects transitioning Air Station Cape Cod to the operation of HC-144A aircraft.

Travel funds cover the travel costs of Coast Guard employees, while in an authorized travel status, either directly or by 

reimbursing the traveler. The FY 2013 request reflects the net change of annualization of prior year management 

efficiencies, enterprise-wide efficiencies, and surface and air asset follow-on costs. The decrease is partly an artifact 

of the display which includes OCO obligations for FY 2012, but not FY 2013.

Area and Pacific Area Commanders, operational units as well as headquarters units. These include High Endurance Cutters (WHECs), 

Medium Endurance Cutters (WMECs), Communications Stations, Sector Commands, Stations, Marine Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs), 

various support units, and Area offices as applicable. Request includes funding to sustain normal operating costs that include energy, parts, 

and supplies for routine maintenance of operational assets and shore facilities and administrative supplies.

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.). The FY 2013 request reflects the annualization of FY 2012 funding, and surface and air asset follow-on costs.

technology equipment and services, postal services and rentals, and utility services. Specifically, funding includes 

data connectivity costs for Coast Guard shore facilities, cutters, and aircraft, utility costs including shore facility 

utilities and cutter, boat and aircraft fuel requirements, and postal costs. The FY 2013 request reflects the net result of 

annualization of FY 2012 funding, decommissioning of three 110' patrol boats, two High Endurance Cutters, 

disestablishment of patrol-boat HTHM operations, retirement of three HU-25 aircraft, enterprise-wide efficiencies, 

and surface and air asset follow-on costs.

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

decommissioning of multiple assets, enterprise-wide efficiencies, and surface and air asset follow-on costs.

Advisory and assistance services include services acquired by contract from non-Federal sources (that is the 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 2013 request reflects the net reductions as part of enterprise-wide 

efficiencies. The decrease is a result of the conversion of security clearance contractors to federal employees 

associated with the Balanced Workforce Strategy follow-on. The decrease is also partly an artifact of the display 

which includes OCO obligations for FY 2012, but not FY 2013.

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 2013 request annualization of FY 2012 funding, and 

surface and air asset follow-on.

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 (e.g., MIPR). The FY 2013 request reflects the 

annualization of base funding.

Operation and maintenance of equipment includes costs for operation, maintenance, repair, and storage of equipment, 

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 decrease is partly an artifact of the display which includes OCO obligations for 

FY 2012, but not FY 2013.

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 2013 request reflects the annualization of prior year management 

efficiencies, and the closure of two seasonal air facilities.

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 and shore support units including tools, spare part inventories for cutters, boats and aircraft, 

supporting computer and communication systems, fuel required to conduct Coast Guard operations, janitorial 

materials, subsistence and administrative supplies. The decrease is partly an artifact of the display which includes 

OCO obligations for FY 2012, but not FY 2013.

This object class covers the purchase of capitalized and non-capitalized assets. The FY 2013 request is attributed to 

the annualization of FY 2012 funding.

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 

(i.e., highest priority) 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 2014 budget. The Coast Guard will not convert any Tier 1 contracts in FY 2013.

the BWS Technical Adjustment. 
Annualization and Follow-On of FY 2012 DHS Balanced Workforce Strategy

Consistent with the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Balanced Workforce Strategy (BWS) requirements, the Coast Guard continues to conduct a phased review of all of its professional services contracts to determine if any of the work performed must or should be performed by government employees. Using the Department’s guidance, a BWS Tool review of the Coast Guard’s security 

clearance adjudication support contract determined that the majority of the work performed by contractors leading to the granting or denial of security clearances for government and contractor employees is “Closely-Associated-to-Inherently Governmental 

Functions/Reserved for Government Performance.” Based on the results of the DHS BWS Tool review, conversion of the work to government performance is recommended as continued use of contractors to perform this important function would be inappropriate. 

The FY 2012 technical adjustment accounts for civilian conversions associated with the insourcing of 33 positions to perform Coast Guard security clearance adjudications/determinations, and technical base adjustments to reallocate funding for professional service contracts to the appropriate PPA.

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. 

The average annual amount of PCA paid to the Physicians is $19,333 on two-year service agreements. Two of the 

Physicians are paid a PCA of $14,000 each; the third receives PCA for $30,000 based on their respective 

experience/qualifications. Total amount paid is $58,000 divided by (3) = average of $19,333. 

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). 

(Please include any staffing data to support your explanation, such as number and duration of unfilled positions and

number of accessions and separations per fiscal year.)

The 3 physicians receiving PCA are all Category III positions. The United States Coast Guard has experienced 

difficulty in recruiting and retaining Medical Officer positions as described in 5 CFR 595.104. It took 21 months of 

open continuous vacancy announcements to fill the 3 positions. All 3 are located in West Virginia. A long standing 

4th position (Alameda, CA) was recently abolished after the incumbent retired. Although PCA was offered for the 3 

West Virginia jobs, numerous declinations occurred based on low salary offers. Competition continues to be keen 

for Physicians in the area due to the proximity of VA medical hospitals and private medical facilities that are offering 

higher pay at market rates. Despite extensive recruitment efforts, the Coast Guard continues to have difficulty 

attracting new physicians. The 3 positions that were eventually filled were the only 3 eligible for PCA and to whom 

PCA was offered. Continued use of PCAs for these positions is essential to retain these Physicians and to ensure 

the Coast Guard meets our medical operational requirements.

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. 

(Please include any staffing data to support your explanation, such as number and duration of unfilled positions and

number of accessions and separations per fiscal year.) 

The 2 positions filled in 2010 that were authorized PCA remain filled in Sept 2011 per their service agreements. The 

3rd position hired in 2011 also remains filled. Simply stated, we had difficulty filling all these new positions even when 

PCA was offered. The continuing authorization of PCA for these positions is critical in retaining these employees. 

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

amounts in your agency.

U. S. Coast Guard

Environmental Compliance and Restoration 

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Environmental Compliance and Restoration:

The Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) appropriation provides funding for 

environmental cleanup, sustainment and restoration of current and formerly contaminated Coast 

Guard facilities, and engineering remedies on Coast Guard assets for the purpose of complying 

with environmental laws and preventing contamination and environmental damage. The EC&R 

funding request supports all of the Coast Guard’s 11 statutory missions and six DHS FYHSP 

Programs. 

EC&R funding ensures the Coast Guard maintains its responsibilities associated with 

environmental stewardship. The Coast Guard complies with the Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and other applicable 

Federal or State laws to clean up contamination at current and former Coast Guard properties. 

Failure to meet restoration or compliance responsibilities could subject the U.S. Government to 

fines, penalties, or shutdown of operational assets by environmental regulators. 

B. Budget Activities:

EC&R activities include site investigation and remediation activities at shore facilities and for 

Coast Guard property slated for divestiture or transfer. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests 25 positions, 24 FTE, and $13.2 million in FY 2013 to provide for 

environmental remediation and restoration of Coast Guard facilities, including Base Support Unit 

Kodiak; Surface Forces Logistics Center/Coast Guard Yard, MD; Aviation Logistics Center 

Elizabeth City, NC; and for environmental assessments for decommissioned Long Range Aids to 

Navigation (LORAN) stations. Funding requested is planned to be allocated by EC&R activity 

as follows: 

 Site Investigations $1.031 million 

 Remediation Activities $6.242 million 

 Long Term Environmental Monitoring $0.945 million 

 LORAN –C Environmental Assessments $1.5 million 

 Salaries/Expenses $3.437 million 

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

detailed site surveys, project sites may undergo monitoring, remediation and restoration in a 

phased approach yielding a funding distribution across multiple years. The table below provides 

a detailed listing of each planned FY 2013 EC&R project based on information regarding 

prioritization of work, as of February 2012. The list may be adjusted as new information is 

developed. The list is updated routinely as projects are added, assessments are conducted, and 

project priority codes are updated.

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 request supports all 11 statutory 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. 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, as they have done in support of 

the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response, 2010 Haiti earthquake response, and 2011 

Western Rivers flood response, and 2011 Hurricane Irene. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests 534 positions, 535 FTE, and $132.6 million in FY 2013. 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 adjustment-to-base is a 

decrease of $1.7 million, which includes a $1.0 million increase for pay and a $2.8 

million program support reduction.

 PPA I: PAY, BENEFITS AND ALLOWANCES 

The Coast Guard requests $107.5 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 during the Coast Guard response to the 2011 Western Rivers floods. At the same 

time, activated Coast Guard Reserves continue to support the Department of Defense’s (DoD) 

Overseas Contingency Operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Coast Guard 

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 ensures these Reservists are fully trained and ready to perform 

vital missions when called upon to do so. 

This request for funding also sustains 535 FTS FTE, which represent both military and civilian 

members who develop policy and doctrine development and manage all recruiting, formal 

training, personnel, and resource/program oversight.

The Coast Guard requests $25.1 million for this activity. 

CURRENT SERVICES PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This request for Operations, Maintenance and Administration funds services and facility 

operations 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

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Acquisition, Construction and Improvements:

Acquisition, Construction and Improvement (AC&I) provides for the acquisition, 

construction, rebuilding, and improvement of vessels, aircraft, shore facilities and 

military housing, aids to navigation (ATON) systems and facilities, and command, 

control, communications and computer systems and related equipment. Funds 

appropriated for AC&I are managed by Coast Guard acquisition project managers who 

oversee these projects and apply best practices, in accordance with the Coast Guard’s 

Major Systems Acquisition Manual (MSAM) and applicable Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) management directives, to optimize the return on recapitalization 

investments. 

B. Budget Activities:

The AC&I appropriation funds the acquisition of new capital assets, construction of 

required facilities, and physical improvements to existing facilities and assets. The 

appropriation covers Coast Guard-owned and operated vessels, shore facilities and other 

items such as command, control, communications and computer equipment. Through 

processes documented in the MSAM, acquisition managers are required to follow a 

continuum of activities ranging from pre-acquisition concept development to deployment 

and sustainment. Activities and documentation produced throughout the acquisition 

lifecycle inform budget requests and budget-related project activities. 

C. Budget Request Summary:

The Coast Guard requests $1.2 billion in FY 2013 for the following sub-appropriations: 

• Vessels - $879.5 million1

• Aircraft - $74.5 million 

• Other - $76.5 million 

• Shore and ATON - $69.4 million 

• Personnel and Management - $117.4 million

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Surface Assets 

The vessel appropriation 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 2013 funding 

initiates the Survey and Design of a new polar icebreaker, supports the Survey and Design of 

Vessels and Boats, National Security Cutter (NSC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), Fast Response 

Cutter (FRC), Cutter Boats, and Medium Endurance Cutter (MEC) Sustainment 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 areas of responsibility 

(AOR). 

While the Coast Guard is reactivating the icebreaker POLAR STAR in 2013, the anticipated 

remaining service life of this asset is estimated to be only seven to ten years. To sustain this 

capacity into the future, this appropriation funds the survey and design activities required to begin 

acquisition of a new Polar Icebreaker. 

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 area of responsibility 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 shore-based aircraft as opposed to cutter-borne assets to perform airborne 

surveillance and tactical support. 

In FY 2013, the Coast Guard begins survey and design work for the 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender 

(WLM) Mission Effectiveness Project at the Coast Guard YARD. These cutters perform Aids to 

Navigation work along the coasts, as well as a number of other Coast Guard missions. For 

example, these versatile cutters contributed to spill recovery efforts associated with the BP 

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The FY 2013 request also provides funding to complete the Medium 

Endurance Cutter Sustainment program at the Coast Guard YARD. 

Based on a review of asset needs, in FY 2013, the Coast Guard will reduce the scope of the RB-M 

acquisition, leveraging FY 2012 funding to procure 40 RB-Ms over FY 2012-2013 and closeout the 

project at a total of 166 boats.

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Aviation Assets 

The aircraft appropriation provides funding for recapitalization and sustainment of the Coast 

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

wing aircraft sustainment projects. 

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 AORs. 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 Surveillance (LRS) fixed-wing 

capability. Each of these fixed-wing aircraft enables the Coast Guard to conduct airborne 
surveillance, detection, classification and identification of vessels and other aircraft. The LRS 

program continues efforts to extend the operating life and enhance the capability of the HC-130H 

fleet by replacing key component Center Wing Boxes (CWBs) and adding new capability 

(avionics-A1U), permanently defers the second avionics upgrade (A2U), and reduces the scope of 

the mission systems upgrade in favor of C-130J production. Consolidation of the C-130H and C130J PPAs into one new LRS Project enables greater flexibility toward achieving an 11H/11J fleet 

configuration, which is expected to result in increased mission effectiveness and minimizes 

lifecycle cost. The eventual goal is to transition to an all C-130J fleet by the mid-2020s, when it 

will no longer be practical or affordable to keep the C-130H in service. 

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

is a medium-range helicopter, and the H-65 is a short-range helicopter. Both aircraft are deployed 

from land-based air stations and the H-65 is also deployed routinely aboard the Coast Guard’s fleet 

of NSCs, WHECs, WAGBs, and WMECs. 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. The Coast Guard intends to leverage FY 2012 

funding initially intended for the H-60 Radar Sensor System for sustainment segments now 

underway, including life-limiting component recapitalization and replacement of obsolete 

components. These revised plans will focus resources on sustaining existing capacity and 

capability. As with the conversion of excess Navy H-60 helicopters to replace lost Coast Guard 

aircraft, and the CBP-CG partnership with land-based UAS, the Coast Guard will continue to 

explore innovative ways to leverage DoD and other DHS agency partnerships to further 

recapitalization efforts.

The Coast Guard request for FY 2013 is $76.5 million. 

SUBAPPROPRIATION DESCRIPTION:

Primary operational resource supported: Command, Control, Communications, Computers 

and Information Technology (C4IT), Acquisition Management 

The requested 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 2013, 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), and Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS). This appropriation 
also provides funding for Systems Engineering and Integration (SEI) and 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. NAIS provides the ability to identify and classify vessels 

operating within the coastal and inland AORs to support maritime domain awareness activities. 

The eventual full deployment of CG-LIMS will enable the Coast Guard to replace redundant and 

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

enhanced configuration management, supply support, and improved financial accountability. SEI 

and PO&M are critical to efficient oversight and execution of the Coast Guard’s acquisition 

programs.

The AC&I shore facilities, military housing and ATON appropriation provides funding for 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, providing support to the Service's myriad operational communities and 

accommodating the dynamic state of mission needs. Many of the Coast Guard's shore assets are 

located in harsh coastal environments, requiring a robust recapitalization program. This funding 

also provides infrastructure upgrades at new cutter homeports and air stations to ensure these 

facilities are fully ready prior to arrival of new assets. Advance preparation is especially critical in 

hurricane-prone ports and ports located outside the continental United States, where many of the 

new assets will be homeported within the next several years.

FY 2013 Congressional Justification 

(Dollars in Thousands) 

Survey and Design - Vessels and Boats $2,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This project builds upon a $4 million congressionally approved transfer in FY 2011 for the survey and 

design of a Service Life Extension Project on the 140-foot Icebreaking Tug (WTGB) fleet and 

appropriation of $6 million in FY 2012 for the survey and design of a Mission Effectiveness Project 

(MEP) on the 225-foot Sea Going Buoy Tender (WLB) fleet. 

FY 2013 funding will initiate survey and design work for a Mission Effectiveness Project (MEP) on the 

fourteen-ship 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender (WLM) fleet. The 175-foot WLM fleet was built from 

1996-2000, with the oldest cutters approaching their mid-life. Similar to the strategy for MEP on the 

110-foot Patrol Boats and Medium Endurance Cutters, the goal will be to run three SLEP and mid-life 

availability projects at the Coast Guard YARD in parallel with each other, the 140-foot WTGB, 225-foot 

WLB and 175-foot WLM. This will optimize YARD loading, minimizing costs, and allow maximum 

flexibility for operational planners, by minimizing the number of cutters that are removed from service 

from a single cutter class as they undergo SLEP/mid-life availabilities at the YARD. In order to perform 

these projects most efficiently, the Coast Guard must complete the requisite engineering and survey 

work prior to construction. 

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

support of the 175-foot WLM mid-life availability. As these vessels continue to age, project funding is 

required to conduct detailed condition surveys of the hull, along with engineering design work that will 

be used to plan the project. Examples of the work to be performed under this project include: detailed 

survey and assessment of the material condition of the current fleet on hull, mechanical and engineering 

systems and subsystems, study and analysis of engineering systems and components to evaluate 

suitability for use in sustainment projects, and the development of pre-acquisition documentation to 

enable projects to reach initial program approval in accordance with the Coast Guard’s Major Systems 

Acquisition Manual. 

Early planning, requirements development, and cost estimating in support of sustainment projects are 

critical to exercising good governance, planning, and acquisition oversight to make the best use of 

limited resources while minimizing impact to the operational fleet.

FY 2013 Congressional Justification 

(Dollars in Thousands) 

National Security Cutter (NSC) $683,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request provides $658 million for 

Segment 2 of Long Lead Time Materials 

(LLTM), production and post-production 

activities to fully fund the sixth NSC. 

Additionally, $25 million appropriated in 

FY 2010 for post-production activities for 

NSC #4, likely to expire, are cancelled and 

re-appropriated in 2013. 

These Legend Class Cutters are replacing 

the legacy High Endurance Cutters (HEC), 

built between 1967 and 1972. HECs are 

currently operating beyond their economic 

service life and experiencing decreased 

operational availability and increased 

maintenance costs. The NSC provides enhanced capability, essential for performing long range 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 modern 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, and is 

designed to operate 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 that was not available 40 years ago, the NSC possesses improved 

capabilities over the legacy 378’ High Endurance Cutter. The NSC also meets modern environmental 

requirements that were not in place the when the HECs were designed. 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); 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2013 Congressional Justification 

National Security Cutter (NSC) $683,000

• 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); 

• 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.

and training studies. 

 

The OPC will primarily resolve current gaps in capabilities and capacity stemming from the aging 270’ 

and 210’ MECs that are experiencing decreased reliability and increased maintenance costs. Together, 

the OPCs and NSCs will recapitalize the Coast Guard’s major cutter fleet. The OPC will possess the 

endurance, sea-keeping, and persistent presence to complete missions at the outer extent of the 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and coastal approaches and will be designed to conduct assigned 

missions through a full-spectrum of climate and environmental conditions including the ability to launch 

and recover boats and aircraft in up to Sea State 5. 

The OPC will be deployed as part of a layered security strategy that gives the Coast Guard and its law 

enforcement and military partners time to react to emerging maritime threats. Advanced 

communications capabilities will facilitate interoperability with DHS, State and local responders as well 

as DoD and international partners. Updated command and control systems that were not available 40 

years ago when the current MECs were designed will aid in the detection, classification, and 

identification of targets of interest (TOIs), while the use of well-equipped deployed aircraft and small 

boats coupled with adequate cutter speed will provide the requisite capacity to intercept and prosecute 

TOIs.

Fast Response Cutter (FRC) $139,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds production of FRC hulls #19 – 

20, associated contract line items, and project 

management costs. Hulls #17 - 20 will be 

procured in FY 2013 using FY 2012 and FY 2013 

funds. Specifically, the Coast Guard will procure 

four FRCs in FY 2012 (two less than funded in 

the FY 2012 enacted) and carry forward $95 

million from FY 2012, combining these funds 

with the FY 2013 request to procure a total of 

four FRCs in FY 2013. This plan will allow the 

Coast Guard to procure FRCs under the current 

contract terms and conditions, maintaining the 

same steady production rate as the previous year. 

Continued acquisition of FRCs is critical to 

closing the existing patrol boat operational hour gap, and to replace the aging 110’ patrol boat fleet. 

The planned fleet of FRCs will conduct primarily the same missions as the 110’ patrol boats being 

replaced. In addition, the FRC will have several increased capabilities enhancing overall mission 

execution. The FRC is designed for rapid response, with approximately a 28 knot speed capability, and 

will typically operate in the coastal zones. Examples of 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. 

Other capabilities include: 

• The ability to conduct shipboard migrant interdiction evolutions, including detection, tracking, 

interdiction, embarkation and disembarkation, 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, 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 $4,000

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 hull #4-5 

Cutter Boat Long Range Interceptor II (CB-LRI-II), and hulls #8-9 Cutter Boats Over-the-Horizon IV 

(CB-OTH-IV), along with project and technical support. 

The CB-LRI-II will be an 11-meter cutter boat carried by the NSC. The CB-LRI-II will provide 

enhanced capabilities compared to legacy cutter boats, such as higher speeds, extended range, better seakeeping, and greatly improved communications and connectivity to the parent cutter. The CB-OTH-IV 

is a 7-meter cutter boat that also provides enhanced capabilities compared to legacy cutter boats. The 

CB-OTH-IV operates beyond sight of the parent 

cutter (over the horizon) to deploy boarding 

parties, pursue and interdict TOI, and perform 

SAR operations. The CB-OTH-IV is both stern 

launch/recovery, and side-davit launch/recovery, 

capable. 

 

Both the CB-LRI-II and CB-OTH-IV support the 

parent cutter in its mission execution. These 

include SAR operations, migrant interdiction, law 

enforcement and other operations.

Leading up to selection of the final CB-OTH-IV design, there is a “Boat Off” competition between 

competing boat manufacturers. In this acquisition strategy, the CG has awarded 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 needs, and this design will be selected for 

full production. Funding for CB-OTH-IV hull #1 includes the cost of procuring the boats for this 

competition. CB-OTH-IV hull #2 and beyond will be produced by the manufacturer that wins the “Boat 

Off” competition.

Medium Endurance Cutter Sustainment (MEP) $13,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds completion of the Mission 

Effectiveness Project (MEP) production on the last 

two (hulls 12-13) 270’ WMECs. This work 

includes replacement of major equipment that is 

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. The majority of this work will be 

performed at the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, 

MD. Some work items will be completed via road 

show installations following the yard availability. 

This funding request leverages carryover funding 

from prior years. Actual costs for 270’ MEC MEP 

and 210’ MEC MEP projects were less than 

original estimates for materials and labor. Thus, 

these savings reduce the required funding needed 

to fully fund the program in FY 2013. 

The MEP project includes both the 210’ and 270’ 

WMECs. The last 210’ WMEC MEP was 

essentially completed in FY 2010, leaving work on 

270’ WMECs as the focus for the remainder of this 

project. 

The MEP project is a bridging strategy for the WMEC fleet until it is replaced by the OPC fleet. For the 

270’ cutter class, this project improves the overall operational readiness and mission effectiveness. Each 

270’ WMEC provides 185 days of mission performance; a loss of that capacity reduces operational 

hours and adversely effects mission performance. Additionally, the MEP improves the cutter’s 

operating and cost performance by replacing systems that have the highest failure rates with more 

reliable equipment. Replacing obsolete equipment also yields greater standardization, capability, and 

reliability across the two cutter 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).

Polar Icebreaker $8,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding will initiate survey and design activities for a new Coast Guard polar icebreaker, intended 

to provide continued U.S. Arctic icebreaking capability following the projected end of service life of the 

CGC POLAR STAR on or about 2022. This effort will build upon requirements analyses undertaken 

within the past three years, including the High-Latitude Mission Analysis Report, and the Polar 

Icebreaker Business Case Analysis. 

In recognition of emerging operational risks in the Arctic regions, the Coast Guard is committed to 

developing and implementing an acquisition plan that will ensure seamless and expeditious availability 

of icebreaking capacity to meet its missions. Specifically, the Coast Guard will deliver a fully 

operational polar icebreaker within a decade. 

 This funding will be used to develop programmatic planning documents required under the USCG 

Major Systems Acquisition Manual, including an Analysis of Alternatives, a Life Cycle Cost Estimate, a 

Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), modeling simulation and testing (as required) to build a modern polar 

icebreaker. These efforts will lead to development of a formal icebreaker acquisition project, with the 

award for construction anticipated within the next five years. 

As conditions in the Arctic evolve, and maritime activity grows, the requirement for sustained surface 

presence, capable of operating in the ice-covered waters of the Polar regions remains critical. This 

project will maintain a National icebreaking capability through an efficient, timely and cost effective 

acquisition.

Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) HC-144 $43,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds the 18th airframe of 36 HC-144A Maritime 

Patrol Aircraft (MPA). These funds will help address the Coast 

Guard’s MPA flight hour gap by providing 1,200 additional MPA 

hours each year. The first eighteen HC-144A aircraft will be 

stationed at Mobile, AL; Elizabeth City, NC; Miami, FL; Cape Cod, 

MA; and 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 allows extended surveillance, quick response capability, at a 

relatively low cost per flight hour. The HC-144A is a multi-mission platform that performs Search and 

Rescue; Law Enforcement; Homeland Security; Marine Environmental Protection; 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. Systems operators can 

collect, compile, and transfer vital information in near-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. The multi-mode surface and air search radar (MMR) 

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 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. The HC-144A has a rear ramp to facilitate 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 short, unpaved landing areas, further enhancing the Coast Guard’s abilities 

to serve its broad array of missions.

Program Oversight and Management $25,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request provides funding for Program Oversight and Management (PO&M). PO&M funding 

supports activities associated with the transition of the 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. 

The Coast Guard is responsible for ensuring the products delivered by contractors and suppliers meet 

performance specifications. PO&M 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 contract terms and conditions. The Coast Guard 

accomplishes this management 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. The 

Coast Guard uses these personnel to help ensure prime contractors and other government agencies 

(OGAs) satisfactorily perform functions consistent with existing policies, processes, and approved 

project plans. These activities include managing: 

• Major milestone events and reviews (e.g., preliminary design review, production Readiness Review, 

etc.) associated with each project as it progresses through concept & technology development, 

system development and demonstration, production and deployment, and the operations and support 

phases. 

• Cross-program documentation and analysis. 

• Use of unique talents and professional expertise for Technical Evaluation Teams (TETs); ship design 

teams; and development of mandatory Acquisition documentation. 

• Performance monitoring through the use of a variety of tools such as: 

 Earned Value Management System (EVMS), which permits detailed monitoring of cost and 

schedule performance; 

 Periodic reports, which provide a quarterly review of program cost, schedule, and performance 

criteria; 

 Acquisition Performance Management System (APMS) which provides web-based reporting on 

all aspects of program performance on a near real-time basis, depending upon the particular 

metric. This includes the QARC, monthly performance reports to DHS and various other reports 

for Program Management such as obligation plans, expenditure report, funds status, etc. 

 Transition of new assets to operations and sustainment after completion of operational testing, 

with staff serving as a liaison between the prime contractor’s production of an asset and its 

turnover to the operational user and the Coast Guard support community. 

PO&M funding also supports risk management processes and communication to mitigate risks providing 

programs with the best opportunity of success. Risk management includes 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

System Engineering and Integration (SEI) $2,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds system engineering design and integration work across the Coast Guard’s major 

recapitalization projects. This request affects 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, Communications Intelligence, 

Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR); and most importantly - the fleet operator. 

This funding request leverages carryover funding from prior years. The transition to government Lead 

Systems Integrator (LSI) has led to a reassessment of the specific activities funded with this 

appropriation and a prioritization of those activities. This included an assessment of the most 

appropriate mix of government (i.e., NAVSEA and NAVAIR) and commercial sources. In FY 2011, the 

obligation rate decreased while the assessment was underway, resulting in higher than expected 

carryover into FY 2012. The adjustment to the FY 2013 request reduces the carryover to efficiently 

execute SEI funds in FY 2013 and the outyears. 

SEI is essential for interoperability at the unit, system, and organizational levels. 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. SEI 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, DHS agencies, and state and local responders). 

The Coast Guard is fielding an integrated system of interoperable aviation, cutter, and shore assets. 

Without SEI, these assets and their sub-systems would be implemented inefficiently and ineffectively. 

For example, one aspect of SEI involves establishing a methodology for managing requirements 

decomposition. Rather than have each acquisition program create asset-specific processes, databases 

and decision criteria, SEI funds a common requirements database architecture that facilitates rapid 

searches for common requirements, systems, and interfaces between assets. In addition, SEI funds 

modeling and simulation of capabilities across all new asset acquisitions, integrating the model with the 

rest of the Coast Guard assets’ capabilities. This provides better decisions from a holistic perspective to 

deliver required capabilities as efficiently as possible. SEI emphasizes an integrated view of the project, 

yielding recognition of corresponding upgrades needed across other platforms and programs. 

SEI evaluations will be performed across systems, subsystems, and component levels to analyze 

products and capabilities for interoperability, integration, modularity, and system commonality. These 

efforts culminate in the ability to determine and document predicted total system performance for 

numerous configurations and scenarios. SEI has the responsibility for the overall technical configuration development processes. SEI 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 $40,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request includes funding for the design and development of Command, Control, Computers, 

Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) integrated hardware and 

software systems on NSC (National Security Cutter), OPC (Offshore Patrol Cutter), Long Range 

Surveillance (LRS) aircraft, and Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) aircraft. These assets are using 

interoperable C4ISR system designs to optimize lifecycle costs and operational effectiveness. The 

C4ISR project also provides IA (Information Assurance) support for the FRC (Fast Response Cutter). 

 New Asset Certification Support. New assets being built and delivered need C4ISR hardware and 

software support to attain Authority to Operate (ATO). Support includes: Information Assurance 

testing; software safety systems analysis and testing, weapons systems safety testing; TEMPEST testing; 

Certification & Accreditation; Operational Testing; and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) 

resolution. 

 OPC C4ISR Development. A tailored software and hardware baseline will address OPC-specific 

requirements. 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. Incorporating and leveraging DoD 

systems allow Coast Guard assets to deploy with the Navy and provide clearance to use its weapons. As 

DoD updates its systems, integration with the updates, systems will require corresponding design 

adjustments.

 Labs. Lab work is necessary for the Coast Guard to manage the NSC, LRS, MRS baselines for 

Information Assurance, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS), and necessary engineering changes 

as well as to develop the C4ISR suite for OPCs. The labs will facilitate the Coast Guard Systems 

Integrator (SI) role and provide proper oversight, integration, and testing with minimal disruption to 

operational units. Ultimately, the labs 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 platform on which to work. Labs include: 

Lab Location .................Purpose of Lab 

- Lowell, MA ................Emissions security (TEMPEST) certification test facility 

- Owego, NY .................Aircraft mission system suite C-130J development 

- Moorestown, NJ..........Asset baseline integration and development and baseline acceptance lab 

- Portsmouth, VA ..........C4I software support and Legacy integration 

 Execution Management. In FY 2011, the C4ISR project delivered a modular, non-proprietary, 

federated system for better Coast Guard Management to facilitate assumption of SI roles. As new assets 

are delivered and the C4ISR system installed, certification, accreditation and authority to operate (ATO) 

requirements will require 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, information 

assurance, certification, accreditation, authority to operate responsibilities, and executing other program 

management functions. 
U. S. Coast Guard - FY 2013 Congressional Justification 

C4ISR $40,500

 Information Assurance. This includes updates to ensure C4ISR systems comply with continuously 

evolving DHS and DOD standards regarding information assurance (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. 

 Logistics Management. As the federated C4ISR system is fielded on existing new assets, all training 

facilities/equipment, technical and operations manuals for both surface and aviation assets will require 

updating. 

 Aviation Electronics. As new aviation assets are procured, the MSP and MSS C4ISR baselines will 

diverge as materials experience DMS, inhibiting the Coast Guard’s ability to efficiently missionize and 

sustain the assets. Of concern is the current Video and Mission Processor (VAMP) installed on the C130Js and C-144s, CMA 4000 Flight and Display Management System, and the common software build. 

Commonality will reduce the life cycle costs of the C4ISR system. 

FY 2011 Key Events: 

• Delivery of federated C4ISR design 

• Integration of C4ISR design with DOD tactical systems 

• Provided Space, Weight, And Power estimates for notional OPC C4ISR design 

• Critical system updates to address safety, IA, and diminishing manufacturing source issues 

• Integration with sensor-align weapon systems with DOD programs to facilitate cost sharing 

FY 2012 Planned Key Events: 

• Award Engineering and lab contracts 

• Engineering and logistics support for Segment 2 C4ISR suite Technology Demonstrator on an NSC 

• Complete specifications for OPC C4ISR suite 

• Complete deployment plan and operational testing for newly acquired NSCs 

• Support new asset acquisitions’ IA and ATO certifications, including provision of changes necessary 

to maintain 

• Field satellite communication systems on legacy cutters and study/mitigate electromagnetic 

interference (EMI) caused by these systems 

FY 2013 Planned Key Events: 

• Participate in OPC source selection 

• Perform OPC C4ISR capabilities development 

• Complete prototype evaluation of Segment 2 on an NSC 

• Address Aviation Electronics DMS issues

* Segment 1 developed a closed and complex C4ISR baseline for NSCs, HC-144As, and HC-130Js. 

Developed through the Integrated Coast Guard Systems (ICGS) contractor, this system is proprietary 

and does not allow the Coast Guard the ability to manage additional development outside of the prime 

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

* Segment 2 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, C-144, and C-130J assets and integrated the Special Compartmented Information Facility 

(SCIF) into the NSC.

CG Logistics Information Management System (CG-LIMS) $2,500

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request supports the development and delivery of the Coast Guard Logistics Information 

Management System (CG-LIMS). This funding will continue CG-LIMS configuration 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 CGLIMS. 

CG-LIMS will directly support the Coast Guard Modernization 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 use the Mission Support Business Model and 

the four cornerstones of that model: Configuration Management; Total Asset Visibility; Bi-Level 

Maintenance; and a single point of accountability through Product Line Managers. 

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 implemented by segments across the enterprise.

Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS) $6,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The FY 2013 request will be used to continue recapitalizing the existing interim NAIS system in 58 

ports and 11 coastal areas by replacing it with the permanent solution design and technology via the core 

system upgrade. Below on the left is an example of an interim site in Tranquillon Mountain, CA that is 

anchored by cinder blocks. When recapitalized with the permanent solution, the NAIS equipment will 

be installed to co-locate with Rescue 21 (R21) infrastructure, such as the tower pictured below in San 

Onofre, CA. 

Tranquillon Mountain, California R21 tower in San Onofre, California 

(Interim capability) (Permanent co-located infrastructure) 

NAIS is a data collection, processing, and distribution system being implemented in response to the 

requirements of the Maritime Transportation Security Act and consistent with the International Maritime 

Organization (IMO) standards to enhance maritime domain awareness (MDA). 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 supports a layered defense and requirements for 

Advanced Notice of Arrival by correlating AIS data with target vessel reporting and other maritime 

awareness data to focus resources on higher interest vessels.

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 

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 recapitalized with the NAIS

Air Station Barber's Point Rinse Rack $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request fully funds construction of an aircraft rinse rack facility to properly and effectively rinse C130 aircraft at Air Station Barbers Point, HI (ASBP), the only CG air station that lacks a hangar to house 

C-130s. Due to the close proximity to the ocean surf, aircraft stationed at ASBP are exposed to a 

corrosive marine 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. The C-130s at ASBP experience the highest programmed depot maintenance 

and support costs compared to all other CG air stations with C-130s. Corrosion of aircraft at ASBP 

result in more frequent maintenance and corrosion inspections, which not only increases costs, but 

reduces total Fully Mission Capable time. The rinse rack will reduce the amount of corrosion to the 

aircraft by rinsing off salt and other corrosive elements, ensuring the platform meets its intended service 

life.

Cold Bay Hangar $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The request fully funds renovation of the existing hangar facility and the detailed design and 

construction of a hangar addition to accommodate two helicopters and crew with utilities, maintenance 

space, messing and berthing for a minimum of 14 personnel. Forward Operating Location (FOL) Cold 

Bay provides seasonal Search and Rescue (SAR) coverage for fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutians 

Islands and ensures two rotary wing aircraft, either HH-65 or HH-60J, are located close to seasonal 

Aleutian Islands/Bering Sea fishing grounds resulting in reduced SAR response time by approximately 

six hours when compared to dispatching a helicopter from Air Station Kodiak. The six hour reduction in 

SAR response time is critical when executing life-saving rescues in this remote, inhospitable area of 

Alaska, where a matter of hours makes a marked difference in the ability to save lives. 

FOL Cold Bay began operating in 1990 from an existing leased hangar. The lack of adequate facilities, 

infrastructure and resources to support forward deployed rotary wing aircraft operations at Cold Bay will 

impact Coast Guard SAR in the region. The loss of the Cold Bay FOL will result in the delay of CG 

resources to emergencies when responding from the Saint Paul FOL, 276 miles away, or Air Station 

Kodiak, 371 miles away. 

Construction will occur through a Design-Build process whereby both design and construction is 

awarded under a single contract.

Sitkinak, AK Refueling Site Recapitalization $1,100

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The request fully funds replacement of the existing fuel tanks and fueling systems with military grade 

systems housed in prefabricated, weather tight shelters with integral spill containment at Sitkinak, AK. 

The existing fueling equipment, tanks, and the shelter are failing and the fueling equipment does not 

meet required military standards for physical security and environmental safety measures. There is no 

fuel spill containment protection on site which poses a significant environmental risk at this remote 

location. The existing shelter does not properly protect equipment and crew members from the harsh 

elements on this island with nearly constant 30-40 knots winds and storm wind conditions exceeding 

150mph. A complete recapitalization of the existing fuel system, containment, and shelter is required to 

meet operations in the extreme Alaska environment. 

This fuel stop is necessary for rotary wing aircraft, both the HH-65 and HH-60J, to reach their forward 

operating location at Cold Bay, AK. Without the fueling point at Sitkinak, the HH-65 must make two 

intermediate stops, flying at the limits of their range. Not being able to reach Cold Bay Forward 

Operating Location (FOL) would increase Search and Rescue response time from the Saint Paul FOL 

276 miles away, or Kodiak 371 miles away.

Station New York Boat Ramp $1,900

Project Description, Justification and Scope

The request fully funds construction of a boat ramp for launching small boats at Station New York, NY, 

for both the Station and Maritime Safety and Security Team (MSST) New York. The Coast Guard units 

stationed in Staten Island are critical to the security of New York Harbor and are mandated to respond 

quickly to any emergency. 

Station New York currently does not have a boat ramp or boat hoist to launch and retrieve small boats, 

crucial to ensuring the Coast Guard is able to meet Search and Rescue and Ports and Waterways Coastal 

Security (PWCS) response times. Station New York and MSST New York both currently use off-site 

ramps to launch and retrieve small boats in the execution of assigned missions. The off-site ramps are a 

time-consuming transit from the Station and require transporting twenty-five foot boats on trailers 

through Staten Island’s narrow and congested streets and do not offer 24-hr accessibility. In addition, 

maintenance procedures require frequent removal of boats, and thus it is impractical to keep them in the 

water all the time when in a heightened readiness status. 

The lack of a readily accessible boat ramp negatively impacts the unit’s mission execution and the delay 

of launching small boats could adversely impact the PWCS and Search and Rescue mission.

Major Acquisition Systems Infrastructure $49,411

Project Description, Justification and Scope

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

associated with homeporting new or modified cutters, boats, and aircraft. The project also supports 

infrastructure modifications, upgrades, and new construction to provide logistics support for new or 

modified cutters, boats, and aircraft. The work accomplished in this acquisition project in FY 2011 and 

prior years was formerly executed under “Deepwater Logistics.” 

Facility and Infrastructure Upgrades – Funding in FY 2013 makes progress toward completing the 

following facility upgrades and infrastructure improvements: 

• Pier, support facility and shore power modifications to support three FRC homeports, 

which will accommodate a total of six FRCs. The funding will support the design and 

construction of homeport facility additions, improvements, and renovations, at three locations: 

South Portland, ME; Atlantic Beach, NC; and Cape May, NJ. The funding provides 

improvements such as electrical upgrades, dredging to accommodate deeper drafts of the new 

cutters, structural improvements to the piers to accommodate larger loads, and shore facilities for 

storage, maintenance, and other in-port activities associated with the arrival of the new FRCs. 

These three locations are essential to the overall operational force laydown, and need to be 

modified in order to accommodate the new FRCs. This funding request provides for facilities to 

meet asset delivery schedules and minimum facilities requirements based on the FRCs 

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

schedules. The funding request for the FRC homeport in Cape May, NJ is accelerated in order to 

align with a Major Shore AC&I project at the same location. This will minimize disruption to 

ongoing operations, and capitalize on synergies in contracting, design, and construction efforts 

between the two projects, and lower overall costs in that location, compared to doing these 

projects separately. 

• New facility for MPA aircraft-specific maintenance training and Mission System Pallet 

(MSP) maintenance training at Aviation Technical Training Center (ATTC) in Elizabeth 

City, NC. This funding will provide training facilities for in-house training of aviation 

maintenance personnel on both the actual MPA airframe and associated systems. This building 

is essential to training for USCG personnel on MSPs for the MPA. No ground facilities 

currently exist to conduct this training. The proper maintenance of the MSPs is crucial to the 

operational effectiveness and availability of the multi-mission MPA. The MSP is a portable suite 

of electronic equipment that enables the aircrew to compile data from the aircraft’s multiple 

integrated sensors to transmit and receive classified and unclassified information from other 

assets including other aircraft, surface vessels and shore facilities. This procurement is separate 

from the purchase of the MPA training aides that this building will house. 

• New hangar for MPA depot-level maintenance at the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in 

Elizabeth City, NC. This project provides a new three-bay hangar to perform depot-level 

maintenance on the new HC-144A MPA. ALC will have a steadily increasing depot-level 

maintenance workload as more MPAs are delivered to the USCG. These aircraft have a different

Major Acquisition Systems Infrastructure $49,411

facilities footprint compared to the aircraft they are replacing. This project will allow for the 

efficient and effective execution of MPA programmed depot-level maintenance at ALC. 

• Facility infrastructure modifications to support MPAs at the Aviation Logistics Center 

(ALC) in Elizabeth City, NC. This project modifies a current maintenance work-space at ALC 

into a Mission System Integration Laboratory and secure-space for maintenance and storage of 

classified materials and equipment. These are new maintenance requirements based upon the 

acquisition of the MPA. The project also funds the reestablishment of the existing tubing shop 

that will be displaced by the project. 

• Provide engineering studies and analyses for future-year facilities projects covered under 

this acquisition program. This funding will help to establish a 5-year window of planning 

documents in order to properly budget for homeport decisions in association with future asset 

deliveries. This will also help to more effectively integrate homeporting decisions for different 

classes of cutters and aircraft over the long-term planning horizon. 

• Shore infrastructure modifications to support RB-Ms. This funding is for necessary 

upgrades associated with delivery of new RB-Ms to various USCG small boat stations across the 

country. The improvements are generally related to length of the current docks, improvements to 

floating docks, improvements and upgrades to electrical shore ties, and structural modifications 

to accommodate the larger, more complex systems on the RB-Ms.

Minor AC&I Shore Construction Projects $5,000

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request 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 costs 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/increased missions.

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This funding is necessary to cover costs associated with project shared service and training activities for 

major acquisition projects. The primary initiatives include Acquisition Project Office shared services 

support, contractor support services, records storage and training. The funding allows the Coast Guard 

to maintain an effective acquisition process by providing AC&I resources that are not project-specific. 

Resources are needed to maintain core competencies and capabilities necessary to execute assigned 

workload while meeting various requirements established in the Chief Financial Officer Act, ClingerCohen Act and OMB Circular A-76.

Direct Personnel Costs $116,798

Project Description, Justification and Scope

This request funds the salaries, compensation and support costs (including annual pay raise and COLA) 

for personnel who manage, execute and administer multi-year funded projects within the Acquisition, 

Construction and Improvements (AC&I) Program. These 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, on budget 

and in compliance with performance requirements. 

The requested funding level will support a total of 842 FTE (an increase of 57 FTE from the FY 2012 

Enacted level). These 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. 

Significant Changes

The $7 million increase from the FY 2012 enacted level reflects an increase of 57 FTE for the AC&I 

personnel account. This additional funding better aligns FTE to FTP by increasing the FTE to 842 while 

simultaneously reducing FTP to 880 to address misalignment of FTE and FTP identified during 

FY2011. The increased FTE accounts for the anticipated vacancy rate associated with the Coast 

Guard’s Direct Hiring Authority for billets funded from this account. The previous FTE and FTP 

allocations did not account for the vacancy rate associated with the Coast Guard’s Direct Hiring 

Authority provided in the 2010 Coast Guard Authorization Act.

related personnel costs. Funding includes the proposed pay raise (1.7 percent for military and .5 percent for civilians), medical 

benefits, other mandatory personnel entitlements.

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 $19.7 million in FY 2013. RDT&E funding requested in FY 2013 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. 

With FY 2013 funding, the Coast Guard RDT&E Program will develop a Center for Coast Guard 

Modeling and Simulation (M&S) by continuing to update and certify critical modeling and 

simulation tools and develop both engagement and campaign-level M&S capability; as well as 

conduct research and development in the following areas: command centers and intelligence; 

prevention and mitigation of oil spills; prevention of aquatic invasive species introduction; 

sensor optimization, automation, and visualization for aviation, surface, and shore assets; and 

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. 
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.

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 (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 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 $170.0 million will be paid to the DoD Medicare-Eligible 

Retiree Health Care Fund in FY 2013 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. The total adjustment to the base is a decrease of $92.0 million, due to a reduced 

projected end strength in FY 2013, projected savings associated with the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, and savings associated with two FY 

2013 budget proposals to increase pharmacy co-pays and implement enrollment fees for 

the TRICARE-For-Life program.

Boat Safety 

I. Appropriation Overview 

A. Mission Statement for Boating 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 Coast Guard 

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. 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 2013 funding will be a percentage of FY 2012 trust fund receipts). 

These amounts are available until expended, but are limited in purpose and amount in 

accordance with existing statutes. 

The FY 2013 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 2012 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 2013 is $116.2 million. Of that 

amount, $5.0 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.

U. S. 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. 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 $100.5 million 

in FY 2013, a decrease of $500,000 below the FY 2012 Enacted level due to less funding 

made available for the Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI) due to lower interest rates. 

These estimated expenditures consist of a $50.0 million expenditure transfer for 

immediate Federal oil spill response, an estimated $500,000 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.

The FY 2013 Maritime Oil Spill Program request represents a decrease of $500,000 as a result of less funding made 

available for the Oil Spill Response Institute (OSRI). OSRI funding from the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) is 

based on interest produced from a discrete portion of the Fund. The reduction to funding made available is a function of 

lower interest rates.

Accomplishments

U. S. Coast Guard 

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation 

FY 2011 Accomplishments

With FY 2011 funding, the Coast Guard RDT&E Program updated and certified critical 

modeling and simulation tools and stood up both engagement and campaign-level modeling and 

simulation capability; supported aviation platform performance testing and evaluation; as well as 

conducted 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 investigation of concepts and 

technologies supporting Coast Guard operations in the Arctic regions. 

Acquisition Program Support 

 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

2011 continued the assessments and evaluations to determine an appropriate path forward 

for UAS while continuing to actively monitor U.S. Navy’s OT&E plans and its 

operational utilization of its MQ-8B (Fire Scout) UAS. 

RDT&E staff collaborated with the aviation sponsor and the UAS acquisition Project 

Manager to develop an interim (small UAS) strategy. This strategy, signed out in August 

2011, underpins the formal, continuing activity to demonstrate a small UAS aboard an 

NSC and to evaluate its effectiveness in meeting shipboard, organic Intelligence, 

Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) requirements. RDT&E partnered with various 

headquarters directorates, NAVSEA, NAVAIR, and industry to conduct the 

demonstration. To advance the interim small UAS (sUAS) concept, RDT&E staff are 

continuing to develop the technical demonstration planned for the summer of 2012 

onboard a National Security Cutter. 

 Modeling & Simulation (M&S)

Improved the RDT&E Program’s in-house analysis capability by enhancing the Coast 

Guard’s M&S tools. Performed analyses for acquisition, operational, and regulatory 

issues to support program managers. Developed a pipeline of reusable tools, beginning 

with exploratory studies to determine acquisitions and operational areas where modeling 

would optimize decision support. FY 2011 efforts included development of a Command, 

Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 

(C4ISR) M&S capability to improve the Coast Guard’s ability to predict operational 

impact and convert existing Coast Guard campaign-modeling algorithms to a nextCG-ACC-21
generation simulation environment. M&S is key to properly understanding risk and 

forecasting performance and outcomes for Coast Guard missions and assets. 

Refined existing tactical and system models and accredited these tools. Verification, 

Validation, and Accreditation efforts ensured the application of modeling and simulation 

results was appropriate for intended purpose when used. 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. The Coast Guard uses a tactical modeling environment which represents Sector 

level operations and/or patrol area operations in order to evaluate performance trade-off 

for investigation of Coast Guard capability/technology gaps. In addition, the Coast 

Guard also uses a combination of DoD developed physics-based models to evaluate 

sensor performance. These models require adaptation to accurately represent Coast 

Guard sensors, platforms, and targets. The models have been verified and validated with 

respect to some sensors but require further verification and validation to ensure the full 

spectrum of Coast Guard sensors, platforms, and targets are covered. 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. 

Operational Program Support 

 Sensor Optimization, Automation, and Visualization

Recent and future acquisitions are introducing a new generation of sensors with increased 

capabilities and complexity. Consequently, there is a need for updated Coast Guard 

search effectiveness data. The Coast Guard participated in the testing conducted for the 

Electro optical/IR Sensor System (ESS) Laser Illuminator that is now on both the MH60T and MH-65C including: (1) determining recommended modifications for ESS 

Search and Rescue (SAR) mode settings for a small target (person in the water) and 

validating existing settings for medium (raft) and large targets (small craft); (2) collecting 

visual acuity performance metrics using the ESS visual daytime Charge Coupled Device 

(CCD) and the low-light Electron Multiplying CCD camera (EMCCD) with laser 

illumination and Trakkabeam illumination; and (3) evaluating the suitability of the 

Research & Development Center prototype Person in the Water (PIW) “thermal Oscar” 

simulator for use during the sweep width phase of testing. In addition, the Coast Guard 

recently completed a project to collect operationally-realistic field data to produce lateral 

range curves, tabulate radar sweep widths and validate prediction models for the Selex 

7500E Sea Spray (HC-130H), the Elta EL/M-2022 (HC-130J) and the Telephonics 

AN/APS-143C (HC-144A) radars. Lateral range and sweep width data will be 

incorporated into standard mission planning software to increase the probability of 

successfully employing these key airborne sensors on future searches. 

The RDT&E Program: (1) optimized and automated sensor performance of the new 

generation aviation, surface, and shore-based systems to enhance operational missions, 

(2) improved M&S tools by providing real-world data needed to improve M&S accuracy, 

and (3) enhanced the understanding of the results through updated visualization 

techniques. In FY 2011, the Coast Guard began development of a new 

CG-ACC-22
Sensor/Target/Environment model, summarizing the various sensors, targets, 

environment, and platforms. The assessment and documentation of the Coast Guard’s 

existing capability is complete. It defined the existing baseline and provided 

recommendations for an improved sustainable capability based on improvements to DoD 

developed physics-based models. Coast Guard continues to develop a prototype sensor 

modeling capability based on the recommendations suggested by the previous 

assessment. Coast Guard is verifying and validating the sensor models through 

participation in upcoming NATO exercises. 

Regulatory Program Support 

 Oil Spill Detection/Response 

Invested 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. 

Evaluated the options for selecting vendors to pursue the development of a prototype 

system for recovering heavy oil on the bottom of the sea floor. 

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 

 Invasive Species and Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) Systems

The Coast Guard continued coordination with the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Maritime Administration to fund 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. 

Completed investigation and development of rigorous and defensible test procedures. 

Based on credible performance data, recommended procedures and techniques for routine 

shipboard BWT compliance testing to support Coast Guard decisions on certifying 

commercial BWT systems. 

Continued 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 

benefited regulatory program managers in the area of prevention and mitigation of nonindigenous species (NIS) invasion (e.g., zebra mussels) through vectors such as ballastwater. 

FY 2012 Planned Accomplishments:

In FY 2012, 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 

CG-ACC-23
surface-fleet assets, including energy/green technologies; UAS utility and use; and exploration of 

concepts and technologies supporting Coast Guard operations in the Arctic regions. 

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. 

 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

Continue investigation into the utility and use of cutter based UAS to provide persistent 

airborne surveillance, detection, classification, identification and prosecution (SDCIP) 

support across all Coast Guard statutory missions in all environments. This includes use 

of the sUAS as both an operational test, and a shipboard CONOPS development 

opportunity. 

Operational Program Support 

 Sensor Optimization, Automation, and Visualization

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 ‘s 

Intelligence Program in the intelligence disciplines of Signals Intelligence and Law 

Enforcement Technical Collection, focusing on vessels unable to be readily identified by 

standard sensors, advanced analytical tools, airborne tactical intelligence, and specific 

emitter identification from Coast Guard cutters, shore-based, and aviation assets. 

 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. 

CG-ACC-24
The focus in FY 2012 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. 

 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 research areas that have unique 

characteristics/problems in the Arctic region: (1) communications capabilities; (2) sensor 

capabilities; and (3) 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. 

Regulatory Program Support 

 Oil Spill Detection/Response 

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 various Deepwater Horizon related reports, 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. This research will facilitate provision of product 

information and specifications that will be used to identify techniques that can be utilized 

in the field during a heavy oil spill response. 

 

CG-ACC-25
 BWT Systems

In FY 2012, the Coast Guard 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 Coast Guard will also conduct research in support 

of Phase I BWT Standards, which are similar to Coast Guard International Maritime 

Organization (IMO) standards. 

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. Tasks will 

include applied research and methodology testing. This research would support followon research and testing efforts and 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 this effort. 

FY 2013 Planned Accomplishments:

With FY 2013 funding, the Coast Guard RDT&E Program will develop a Center for Coast Guard 

M&S by continuing to update and certify critical M&S tools and develop both engagement and 

campaign-level M&S capability; support aviation platform performance testing and evaluation; 

and conduct research and development in the following areas: Command center and 

intelligence; prevention and mitigation of oil spills; prevention of aquatic invasive species 

introduction; 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.

by employing advanced sensor testing against the non-cooperative target set; to assist in 

protecting critical infrastructure from accidental or deliberate damages; countermeasures; detect ability of non-emitting targets; and other items of national and localized 

data collection issues or law enforcement missions. 

 Alternative Energy/Environmental Analysis

RDT&E resources are needed to develop and implement energy alternatives that are 

either currently not available or have not been adapted to Coast Guard. 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 

USCG energy goals while improving mission performance. 

In FY 2013 the Coast Guard will modify and test an existing Coast Guard vessel to 

accept an alternate fuel.. The carbon footprint measurement method developed in FY 

2011 will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative fuel and associated 

vessel modifications. 

 Oil Spill Detection and Response 

The Coast Guard will continue to invest in the capabilities development necessary to 

identify those technologies most effective in preventing, managing and mitigating 

CG-ACC-28
Maritime Environmental Response incidents involving oil spills that could potentially 

threaten sensitive maritime and coastal environments or critical coastal infrastructure. 

In FY 2013, the RDT&E Program will address capability gaps for spill response in the 

maritime environment. The intent is to reduce the costs and risks associated with 

acquiring, implementing, and operating new spill response capabilities. FY 2013 

research areas include: (a) continued development of spill response capabilities in the 

Arctic and extreme cold regions, (b) continued development of submerged (deepwater) 

spill response capabilities, and (c) command and control systems associated with major 

spill response. 

 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: (1) communications, (2) sensor 

capabilities, and (3) ship/small boat operations capabilities. 

Regulatory Program Support 

 BWT Systems

The FY 2013 RDT&E appropriation will continue funding to mitigate the economic and 

environmental risk posed by the introduction of NIS. Two FY 2012 research areas to 

address NIS capability gaps will be: (1) develop and test shipboard testing protocols to 

verify BWT system capabilities; and (2) develop and test shipboard verification protocols 

and tools for CG operators, based on the results of the FY 2012 market research 

assessment, to verify compliance with BWT standards. RDT&E resources are required to 

address these gaps because these capabilities do not currently exist and are not being 

addressed by industry or other government agencies. The Coast Guard’s proposed ballast 

water discharge standard is a Phase I standard similar to the IMO discharge standard. 

The Phase II standard is expected to be 100 to 1000 times more stringent than the Phase I 

standard. Research is required to determine whether it is possible to measure to the Phase 

II standard and the likelihood that technologies can meet the Phase II standard. 

Investigate how to minimize other-than-ballast-water introduction of NIS (e.g., via hull 

fouling), and determine ways to mitigate effects. 

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative 

 Oil in Ice

Typical Arctic conditions such as extreme temperature, unstable ice, safety and poor 

visibility create a significant response gap that would hinder 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 spill in the maritime environment, 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. 

CG-ACC-29
In FY 2013, the Coast Guard will continue development of equipment and techniques 

that can be used successfully to detect, track and recover oil in ice filled waters. Tasks 

will include applied research and methodology testing. Follow-on efforts would include 

full-scale exercises, including a test in the ice on the Great Lakes to evaluate mechanical 

recovery. Funds from EPA’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) 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. 

 

 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 ballast water 

treatment systems suitable for fresh water ecosystems by supporting the use of laboratory 

and ship-board testing, verification of treatment technologies, and coordination with the 

maritime industry.

Accomplishments

U. S. Coast Guard 

Boat Safety 

FY 2011 Accomplishments: 

• 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 to date 

from USACE in northern Mississippi indicate significant increases in life jacket 

wear rates. The Coast Guard worked with the National Boating Safety Advisory 

Council, which initiated a resolution advising the Coast Guard to study mandatory 

requirements for life jacket usage in high-risk situations (i.e., operating boats less 

than 18 feet in length and all Personal Water Craft and paddle craft regardless of 

length). 

• Continued boating safety/boating under the influence (BUI) initiatives to reduce 

the number of casualties where reckless operation, lack of adequate operator 

skills, or the use of alcohol by a boat’s occupants is a cause of the accident. 

• Continued the Propeller Guard Test Protocol project, designed to create a riskbased mitigation strategy matrix to evaluate propeller strike avoidance 

technologies, and furthered the development and promulgation of an Advanced 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that requires installation and wear of emergency 

cut-off devices (mechanical or wireless) on vessels under a certain length. 

• Continued developing regulations that would require operators to secure the 

engine on a vessel when a swimmer is in the water and in close proximity to the 

stern in order to prevent propeller strike and carbon monoxide poisoning. 

• Implemented and monitored state program approval systems (i.e., 

enforcement/patrol, education, vessel numbering systems, and casualty reporting 

systems). 

FY 2012 Planned Accomplishments: 

• Conduct a National Boating Survey to collect data that will allow the Coast Guard 

to estimate the nation’s recreational boaters’ on-the-water activities and exposures 

to certain hazards. 

• Increase support of voluntary skill training courses provided to the recreational 

boating public by various organizations. 

CG-ACC-31
• Consult with stakeholders regarding the promulgation of 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). 

• Continue implementation and monitoring efforts for state program approval 

systems (i.e., adequate enforcement/sufficient patrol, adequate education, 

numbering system, and casualty reporting system). 

• Complete the Propeller Guard Test Protocol project and implement the accepted 

recommendations. 

• Continue to assure manufacturer compliance with recreational boat safety 

construction standards through the Factory Visit and Boat Testing Programs, with 

emphasis on identifying manufacturers whose boats are involved in accidents 

where carbon monoxide, flotation, capacity, or fuel systems are causal factors. 

• Conduct training for grant recipients (states and non-profit organizations) and 

improve systems used to track and pay grant recipients. 

FY 2013 Planned Accomplishments: 

• Increase support of voluntary skill training courses provided to the recreational 

boating public by various organizations. 

• Continue the BUI initiative (Operation Dry Water) to reduce the number of 

casualties where the use of alcohol is a cause of the accident. 

• Continue to assure manufacturer compliance with recreational boat safety 

construction standards through the Factory Visit and Boat Testing Programs, with 

emphasis on identifying manufacturers whose boats are involved in accidents 

where carbon monoxide, flotation, capacity, or fuel systems are causal factors. 

• If marketing measures prove effective, continue implementing additional 

elements of the national outreach and awareness initiative, “Boat Responsibly.”

• 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).
