The Secretary may also acquire vessels, heavy marine equipment, and drydock facilities. The Secretary must notify the House Committee on Natural Resources and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in writing at least 90 days before getting any large historic vessel, including estimated costs to preserve, restore if needed, and maintain it.
