Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1982

Summary

Coast Guard Authorization Act for 1983 and 1984 - Authorizes appropriations for the Coast Guard for FY 1983 and 1984 for: (1) operation and maintenance expenses; (2) acquisition, construction, rebuilding, and improvement of aids to navigation, shore facilities, vessels, and aircraft; and (3) research, development, testing, and evaluation. Permits the Coast Guard an end-year strength of 41,500 active duty personnel. Authorizes average military training student loads. Revises the authority of the Coast Guard to establish and operate aids to maritime navigation on the inland waterways by contract with persons or public bodies or instrumentalities. Recommends that such services be provided by civilian rather than military members of the Guard. Directs the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating to report to Congress within a year on the exercise of such contracting authority and on increased civilian participation. Eliminates the Secretary's annual report to Congress concerning the utilization of authority to lease housing facilities for military personnel and their dependents. Amends the Presidential Protection Assistance Act of 1976 to eliminate a semi-annual report on expenditures from the Commandant of the Coast Guard to the appropriate committees of Congress. Repeals the current provisions concerning the guaranty, apportionment, and payment of cost for the alteration of bridges. Permits the Secretary, before ordering a bridge altered or relocated, to require equitable contributions from any interested party or political sub-division for such alteration, whether necessitated by its obstruction of navigation or other causes. (Currently, contributions by other than the bridgeowner are required only for other causes.) Amends the General Bridge and other Acts to exclude from specified bridge construction and operation provisions bridges over waters not subject to the ebb and flow of the tide and not used in interstate or foreign commerce. Eliminates the misdemeanor of unreasonable delay in opening a drawbridge. Requires that violations of regulations for bridges over navigable waters be willful to be punishable. Prohibits a vessel owner or operator from signaling a drawbridge to open for any nonstructural vessel appurtenance which is not essential to navigation. Establishes a civil penalty for violations of specified bridge regulations and orders of the Army Chief of Engineers. Requires the owner or operator of a bridge or causeway to keep it in proper repair so that it does not obstruct or make navigation hazardous. Requires that complete files of vessel inspections or examinations delegated to the American Bureau of Shipping or a similar agent be kept in the United States and accessible by the Coast Guard. Revises personnel and manning standards for foreign vessels. Increases the amount of penalties under the Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. Directs the Commandant of the Coast Guard to review policies and procedures for towing and salvaging disabled vessels to minimize competition with private enterprise. Establishes an end strength level for full-time civilian employees for FY 1983 and 1984.
