A bill to prohibit under certain conditions Federal activities in connection with the construction of offshore bulk cargo transshipment facilities.

Summary

Prohibits the Secretary of the Army or any other officer of the United States from issuing any license, permit, or other authorization to construct any offshore bulk cargo transshipment facility in those waters of the territorial seas, the contiguous zone, or the ocean, which are within the boundaries of any State, or within the indefinite extension of such boundaries seaward, if such State has by law prohibited the construction of such a facility in the territorial seas within its boundaries. Requires the Secretary of the Army or any other officer with the intention of constructing such facility to notify the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in writing, who shall then notify the State involved. Stipulates that if such State within one hundred and twenty days of this notification files with the Administrator its objection of construction, such license or authorizations to the issuance of such license or authorization shall not be issued except upon such conditions as the Administrator, the objecting State, and the head of the agency of the United States proposing to issue such license or authorization shall jointly require.
