Mr. BOOKER submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill S. 4784, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2027 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end of subtitle G of title X, add the following:
SEC. 1094. SHORE-TO-SHIP AUTOMATIC MARITIME COMMUNICATION
NETWORK.
(a) In General.—The Commandant of the Coast Guard shall
procure a services contract with a private entity to advance
the implementation, operation, and maintenance of a
nationwide shore-to-ship automatic maritime communication
network along State and territorial coastlines for public and
private use—
(1) to support navigation; and
(2) to communicate critical safety, security,
environmental, marine mammal, and waterways management
information directly to all vessels that are required to
carry, or that elect to carry, an Automatic Identification
System.
(b) Requests for Messaging.—The Commandant shall establish
procedures by which other Federal agencies, State, local,
Tribal, and territorial governments, and other public and
private stakeholders may request messaging through the
network.
(c) Use of Existing Infrastructure.—In carrying out
subsection (a), the Commandant shall, to the maximum extent
practicable—
(1) leverage shore-to-ship Automatic Identification System
stations that, as of the date of the enactment of this Act,
are operated by private or non-Federal entities under permits
issued by the Coast Guard and the Federal Communications
Commission;
(2) ensure that a services contract entered into under that
subsection provides for the continued operation of such
existing stations if such continued operation is consistent
with the technical, operational, and coverage requirements of
the network; and
(3) avoid duplication of shore-to-ship Automatic
Identification System coverage already provided by such
existing stations.
