Authorizes the Secretary, acting through the Coast Guard and subject to appropriations, to provide financial assistance for research projects proposed to and selected by the U.S. Passenger Vessel Association that: (1) foster business process or design technologies to avoid or mitigate adverse environmental impacts from domestic passenger vessel operations; (2) promote cost-effective solutions to passenger and crew safety issues arising from such operations and changing technologies; and (3) propose, promote, or assess the feasibility of waterborne passenger transport in U.S. locales with existing or foreseeable nonwaterborne transport congestion.
