HR 2518 – CG Authorization – Markup Hearing

Today the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee announced that there would be a markup hearing on Wednesday. Among the bills to be marked up will be HR 2518, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017.

I have not reviewed HR 2518 here because there is nothing of specific interest to readers of this blog. I will continue to watch HR 2518 (and S 1119, it’s Senate counterpart) for any amendments that might address cybersecurity, the MTSA program, or chemical transportation safety or security.

The Senate version of this bill was introduced on Tuesday and marked up yesterday (more on both later):

I will be watching both bills for cybersecurity as well as chemical transportation safety and security provisions.
