Subtitle C—Conveyance of Coast Guard 
Property at Point Spencer, Alaska 
SEC. 531. FINDINGS. 
The Congress finds as follows: 
(1) Major shipping traffic is increasing through the Bering 
Strait, the Bering and Chukchi Seas, and the Arctic Ocean, 
and will continue to increase whether or not development of 
the Outer Continental Shelf of the United States is undertaken 
in the future, and will increase further if such Outer Conti-
nental Shelf development is undertaken. 
(2) There is a compelling national, State, Alaska Native, 
and private sector need for permanent infrastructure develop-
ment and for a presence in the Arctic region of Alaska by 
appropriate agencies of the Federal Government, particularly 
in proximity to the Bering Strait, to support and facilitate 
search and rescue, shipping safety, economic development, oil 
spill prevention and response, protection of Alaska Native 
archaeological and cultural resources, port of refuge, arctic 
research, and maritime law enforcement on the Bering Sea, 
the Chukchi Sea, and the Arctic Ocean. 
(3) The United States owns a parcel of land, known as 
Point Spencer, located between the Bering Strait and Port 
Clarence and adjacent to some of the best potential deepwater 
port sites on the coast of Alaska in the Arctic. 
(4) Prudent and effective use of Point Spencer may be 
best achieved through marshaling the energy, resources, and 
leadership of the public and private sectors. 
(5) It is in the national interest to develop infrastructure 
at Point Spencer that would aid the Coast Guard in performing 
its statutory duties and functions in the Arctic on a more 
permanent basis and to allow for public and private sector 
development of facilities and other infrastructure to support 
purposes that are of benefit to the United States.
