may be used as platforms to buy, sell, or facilitate the 
financing of goods or services associated with human traf-
ficking or drug trafficking, specifically, opioids and syn-
thetic opioids, including fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and 
any precursor chemical associated with manufacturing 
fentanyl or fentanyl analogues, destined for, originating 
from, or within the United States; 
(B) how financial payment methods, including virtual 
currencies and peer-to-peer mobile payment services, may 
be utilized by online marketplaces to facilitate the buying, 
selling, or financing of goods and services associated with 
human trafficking or drug trafficking destined for, origi-
nating from, or within the United States; 
(C) how virtual currencies may be used to facilitate 
the buying, selling, or financing of goods and services asso-
ciated with human trafficking or drug trafficking, destined 
for, originating from, or within the United States, when 
an online platform is not otherwise involved; 
(D) how illicit funds that have been transmitted online 
and through virtual currencies are repatriated into the
H. R. 6395—1244 
formal banking system of the United States through money 
laundering or other means; 
(E) the participants, including State and non-State 
actors, throughout the entire supply chain that may partici-

of goods and services associated with human trafficking 
or drug trafficking, including through online marketplaces 
or using virtual currencies, destined for, originating from, 
or within the United States; 
(F) Federal and State agency efforts to impede the 
buying, selling, or financing of goods and services associ-
ated with human trafficking or drug trafficking destined 
for, originating from, or within the United States, including 
efforts to prevent the proceeds from human trafficking 
or drug trafficking from entering the United States banking 
system; 
(G) how virtual currencies and their underlying tech-
nologies can be used to detect and deter these illicit activi-
ties; and 
(H) to what extent immutability and traceability of 
virtual currencies can contribute to the tracking and 
prosecution of illicit funding. 
(2) REPORT
TO
CONGRESS.—Not later than 1 year after

as amended by section 8101 of this division, $135,000,000 for

Lakes icebreakers. 
SEC. 8106. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON NEED FOR NEW GREAT LAKES 
ICEBREAKER. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Great Lakes shipping industry is crucial to the 
American economy, including the United States manufacturing 
base, providing important economic and national security bene-
fits.
H. R. 6395—1249 
(2) A recent study found that the Great Lakes shipping 
industry supports 237,000 jobs and tens of billions of dollars 
in economic activity. 
(3) United States Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is cru-
cial to full utilization of the Great Lakes shipping system, 
as during the winter icebreaking season up to 15 percent of 
annual cargo loads are delivered, and many industries would 
have to reduce their production if Coast Guard icebreaking 
services were not provided. 
(4) 6 of the Coast Guard’s 9 icebreaking cutters in the 
Great Lakes are more than 30 years old and are frequently 
inoperable during the winter icebreaking season, including 
those that have completed a recent service life extension pro-
gram. 
(5) During the previous 10 winters, Coast Guard Great 
Lakes icebreaking cutters have been inoperable for an average 
of 65 cutter-days during the winter icebreaking season, with 
this annual lost capability exceeding 100 cutter days, with 
a high of 246 cutter days during the winter of 2017–2018. 
(6) The 2019 ice season provides further proof that current 
Coast Guard icebreaking capacity is inadequate for the needs 
of the Great Lakes shipping industry, as only 6 of the 9 
icebreaking cutters are operational, and millions of tons of 
cargo was not loaded or was delayed due to inadequate Coast 
Guard icebreaking assets during a historically average winter 
for Great Lakes ice coverage. 
(7) The Congress has authorized the Coast Guard to acquire 
a new Great Lakes icebreaker as capable as Coast Guard 
Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB–30), the most capable Great Lakes 
icebreaker, and $10 million has been appropriated to fund 
the design and initial acquisition work for this icebreaker. 
(8) The Coast Guard has not initiated a new acquisition 
program for this Great Lakes icebreaker. 
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress 
of the United States that a new Coast Guard icebreaker as capable 
as Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB–30) is needed on the 
Great Lakes, and the Coast Guard should acquire this icebreaker 
as soon as possible. 
SEC. 8107. PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY FOR GREAT LAKES ICE-
BREAKER. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated 
by section 4902(2)(A)(ii) of title 14, United States Code, as amended 
by section 8101 of this division, $160,000,000 for fiscal year 2021 
is authorized for the acquisition of a Great Lakes icebreaker at 
least as capable as Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw (WLBB–30). 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Commandant shall submit to the Com-
mittee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate 
and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives a plan for acquiring an icebreaker as 
required by section 820(b) of the Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 115–282). 
SEC. 8108. POLAR SECURITY CUTTER ACQUISITION REPORT. 
Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Commandant shall submit to the Committees on Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure and Armed Services of the House of
H. R. 6395—1250 
Representatives, and the Committees on Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation and Armed Services of the Senate a report on— 
(1) the extent to which specifications, key drawings, and 
detail design for the Polar Security Cutter are complete before 
the start of construction; 
(2) the extent to which Polar Security Cutter hulls numbers 
one, two, and three are science ready; and 
(3) what actions will be taken to ensure that Polar Security 
Cutter hull number four is science capable, as described in 
the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medi-
cine’s Committee on Polar Icebreaker Cost Assessment letter 
report entitled ‘‘Acquisition and Operation of Polar Icebreakers: 
Fulfilling the Nation’s Needs’’ and dated July 11, 2017.
