Coastal States Extension Act of 2013

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Coastal States Extension Act of 
2013''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds as follows:
            (1) In Executive Proclamation 5928, issued on December 27, 
        1988, the President extended the boundaries of the territorial 
        sea of the United States from 3 nautical miles to 12 nautical 
        miles in accordance with international law. However, the 
        Proclamation did not adequately address the effect of the 
        extension on the territorial jurisdiction of the States.
            (2) The coastal States have, with few exceptions, 
        jurisdiction over the land, air, water, and resources within 
        their boundaries, which in most cases extend out into the 
        oceans 3 nautical miles.
            (3) The Great Lake States have jurisdiction over the land, 
        air, water, and resources of their offshore areas up to the 
        border with Canada, which can range from 11 to 80 nautical 
        miles from the coast line.
            (4) Some Gulf of Mexico States have jurisdiction over the 
        land, air, water, and resources of their offshore areas out to 
        10.4 nautical miles from their coast line.
            (5) The coastal States--
                    (A) have consistently demonstrated an ability to 
                manage ocean resources within their jurisdiction in a 
                manner consistent with the interests of both the Nation 
                and the coastal States;
                    (B) have demonstrated both experience and skill at 
                balancing protection, conservation, and utilization of 
                the living and nonliving resources of the ocean; and
                    (C) are better equipped than the Federal 
                Government, in terms of fiscal resources and 
                administrative abilities, to manage oil and natural gas 
                resources within 12 nautical miles of their coast line.

SEC. 3. EXTENSION OF STATE JURISDICTION OVER SUBMERGED LANDS.

    The Submerged Lands Act is amended--
            (1) in section 2(a)(2) (43 U.S.C. 1301(a)(2)) by striking 
        out ``three geographical miles'' the first place it appears and 
        all that follows through ``beyond three geographical miles,'' 
        and inserting ``12 nautical miles distant from the coast line 
        of each such State;'';
            (2) in section 2(b) (43 U.S.C. 1301(b))--
                    (A) by striking out ``they existed'' and all that 
                follows through ``extended or'' and inserting in lieu 
                thereof ``approved and''; and
                    (B) by striking out ``three geographical'' and all 
                that follows through ``Mexico'' and inserting ``12 
                nautical miles or, in the case of the Great Lakes, 
                farther than to the international boundary''; and
            (3) in section 4 (43 U.S.C. 1312)--
                    (A) in the first sentence--
                            (i) by striking out ``original coastal 
                        State'' and inserting ``coastal State admitted 
                        to the Union before the date of enactment of 
                        the Coastal States Extension Act of 2013''; and
                            (ii) by striking out ``three geographical'' 
                        and inserting ``12 nautical''; and
                    (B) in the second sentence by striking 
                ``formation'' and all that follows through the end of 
                the section and inserting ``date of enactment of the 
                Coastal States Extension Act of 2013 may assert its 
                seaward boundaries to a line 12 nautical miles distant 
                from its coast line.''.

              SUBMERGED LANDS.

        term in section 304(1) of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 
        1972 (16 U.S.C. 1453(1)).
