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; (2) acquisition and improvement of aids to navigation, shore facilities, vessels, and aircraft; (3) research, development, test, and evaluation; and (4) retired pay, including payments under the Retired Serviceman's Family Protection and Survivor Benefit Plans and the Dependents Medical Care Act. Authorizes end-strength levels of 41,500 active duty and 5,484 civilian personnel for both fiscal years. Authorizes average military student training loads for both fiscal years. Permits the Coast Guard to delegate by contract its aids to maritime navigation responsibilities. Directs the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating to report to Congress within the year on the effects of such delegation and on the advantages of increasing the ratio of civilian to military employees in the operation of aids to navigation on the inland waterways. Requires that complete records of inspections or examinations delegated to the American Bureau of Shipping or a similar entity be kept in the United States and be accessible to the Coast Guard. States that a vice admiral's place on the active duty promotion list, grade, rank, pay, and allowances shall not be disturbed by the termination of an appointment for reappointment to another position as vice admiral. Repeals the requirement that the Coast Guard discharge upon petition any person under 21 who enlisted without parental consent. Permits the Commandant of the Coast Guard to provide medical and dental care to entitled personnel. Eliminates the Secretary's annual report to Congress concerning: (1) the utilization of authority to lease housing facilities for military personnel and their dependents; and (2) inspection and enforcement activities on vessels having inflammable or combustible liquid cargo in bulk.
