§5104 Manpower requirements plan

Summary

When the President sends Congress a budget for fiscal year 2017, for fiscal year 2019, and every four years after that, the Coast Guard Commandant must give a manpower requirements plan to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. For each Coast Guard mission, the plan must show projected mission needs for the coming year and the three years after that; current and projected counts of active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel who are assigned or available; the numbers of those personnel actually required now and for the same future years; any gaps caused by too few people now and in those years; and the actions the Commandant will take to close those gaps. In making the plan, the Commandant must consider the marine safety strategy under section 2116 of title 46, the most recent acquisition workforce information from section 5103 of this title, and any other federal strategic plans the Commandant finds relevant.
