The USA Senate last week passed H.R. 2838, the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2012, clearing the House-passed bill for the president’s signature.
“This bill provides the Coast Guard with the resources to continue to improve the ships, aircraft and communications systems they need to do their jobs,” said House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica, R-Fla., in a written statement.
The bill also reduces regulatory burdens on fishermen, small businesses and port workers, Mica added.
