(c) Additional Changes.--
(1) In general.--Chapter 3 of title 14, United States Code, is
further amended--
(A) by inserting after section 310 (as so redesignated and
transferred under subsection (b)) the following:
``Sec. 311. Captains of the port
``Any officer, including any petty officer, may be designated by
the Commandant as captain of the port or ports or adjacent high seas or
waters over which the United States has jurisdiction, as the Commandant
deems necessary to facilitate execution of Coast Guard duties.''; and
(B) by inserting after section 317 (as so redesignated and
transferred under subsection (b)) the following:
``Sec. 318. Environmental Compliance and Restoration Program
``(a) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section--
``(1) `environment', `facility', `person', `release',
`removal', `remedial', and `response' have the same meaning they
have in section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601);
``(2) `hazardous substance' has the same meaning it has in
section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601), except that it
also includes the meaning given `oil' in section 311 of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1321); and
``(3) `pollutant' has the same meaning it has in section 502 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1362).

``(A) Identifying, investigating, and cleaning up
contamination from hazardous substances and pollutants.
``(B) Correcting other environmental damage that poses an
imminent and substantial danger to the public health or welfare
or to the environment.
``(C) Demolishing and removing unsafe buildings and

owned, leased, or otherwise possessed when the actions leading
to contamination from hazardous substances or pollutants
occurred; and
``(iii) on each vessel the Coast Guard owns or operates.
``(B) Subparagraph (A) of this paragraph does not apply to a
removal or remedial action when a potentially responsible person
responds under section 122 of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9622).
``(C) The Secretary shall pay a fee or charge imposed by a
State authority for permit services for disposing of hazardous
substances or pollutants from Coast Guard facilities to the same
extent that nongovernmental entities are required to pay for permit
services. This subparagraph does not apply to a payment that is the
responsibility of a lessee, contractor, or other private person.
``(4) The Secretary may agree with another Federal agency for
that agency to assist in carrying out the Secretary's
responsibilities under this section. The Secretary may enter into
contracts, cooperative agreements, and grant agreements with State
and local governments to assist in carrying out the Secretary's
responsibilities under this section. Services that may be obtained
under this paragraph include identifying, investigating, and
cleaning up off-site contamination that may have resulted from the
release of a hazardous substance or pollutant at a Coast Guard
facility.
``(5) Section 119 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9619) applies to
response action contractors that carry out response actions under
this section. The Coast Guard shall indemnify response action
contractors to the extent that adequate insurance is not generally
available at a fair price at the time the contractor enters into
the contract to cover the contractor's reasonable, potential, long-
term liability.
``(c) Amounts Recovered for Response Actions.--
``(1) All sums appropriated to carry out the Coast Guard's
environmental compliance and restoration functions under this
section or another law shall be credited or transferred to an
appropriate Coast Guard account, as determined by the Commandant
and remain available until expended.
``(2) Funds may be obligated or expended from such account to
carry out the Coast Guard's environmental compliance and
restoration functions under this section or another law.
``(3) In proposing the budget for any fiscal year under section
1105 of title 31, the President shall set forth separately the
amount requested for the Coast Guard's environmental compliance and
restoration activities under this section or another law.
``(4) Amounts recovered under section 107 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C.
9607) for the Secretary's response actions at current and former
Coast Guard facilities shall be credited to an appropriate Coast
Guard account, as determined by the Commandant.
``(d) Annual List of Projects to Congress.--The Commandant shall
submit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation of the Senate a prioritized list of projects eligible
for environmental compliance and restoration funding for each fiscal
year concurrent with the President's budget submission for that fiscal

prescribed by the Secretary, who shall determine age limits, methods of
selection of applicants, term of service as a cadet before graduation,
and all other matters affecting such appointments. In the
administration of this section, the Secretary shall take such action as
may be necessary and appropriate to insure that female individuals
shall be eligible for appointment and admission to the Coast Guard
Academy, and that the relevant standards required for appointment,
admission, training, graduation, and commissioning of female
individuals shall be the same as those required for male individuals,

individuals.'';
(C) by inserting before section 1926 (as so redesignated

prescribed by the Commandant.

``(b)(1) The Secretary may transfer to the Coast Guard Reserve, and
may order to active duty for such period of time as the Secretary
prescribes (but not to exceed four years), a cadet who breaches an
agreement under subsection (a). The period of time for which a cadet is
ordered to active duty under this paragraph may be determined without
regard to section 651(a) of title 10.
``(2) A cadet who is transferred to the Coast Guard Reserve under
paragraph (1) shall be transferred in an appropriate enlisted grade or
rating, as determined by the Secretary.
``(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1), a cadet shall be
considered to have breached an agreement under subsection (a) if the
cadet is separated from the Coast Guard Academy under circumstances
which the Secretary determines constitute a breach by the cadet of the
cadet's agreement to complete the course of instruction at the Coast
Guard Academy and accept an appointment as a commissioned officer upon
graduation from the Coast Guard Academy.
``(c) The Secretary shall prescribe regulations to carry out this
section. Those regulations shall include--

commissioned officer and ending on the sixth anniversary of such
appointment or, at the discretion of the Secretary, any later date up
to the eighth anniversary of such appointment.
``(e)(1) This section does not apply to a cadet who is not a
citizen or national of the United States.
``(2) In the case of a cadet who is a minor and who has parents or
a guardian, the cadet may sign the agreement required by subsection (a)
only with the consent of the parent or guardian.
