+# 14 U.S.C. § 101 - Establishment of Coast Guard
+
+## Text
+
+The Coast Guard, established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times.
+
+(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 496, § 1; Pub. L. 94–546, § 1(1), Oct. 18, 1976, 90 Stat. 2519; Pub. L. 107–296, title XVII, § 1704(a), Nov. 25, 2002, 116 Stat. 2314; Pub. L. 112–213, title II, § 217(1), Dec. 20, 2012, 126 Stat. 1555; renumbered § 101, Pub. L. 115–282, title I, § 103(b), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4195.)
+
+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 1 (Jan. 28, 1915, ch. 20, § 1, 38 Stat. 800; July 11, 1941, ch. 290, §§ 5, 6(a), 55 Stat. 585). Said section has been divided. Provisions relating to operation under the Navy in time of war are placed in sections 3 and 4 of this title, and the remainder is in this section. This section continues the Coast Guard as a military service and branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. By the act of July 11, 1941, 55 Stat. 585 (title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 1), the Coast Guard was constituted a branch of the land and naval forces of the United States at all times. This section therefore merely continues an existing agency and codifies existing law on the military status of the Coast Guard, substituting “armed forces” for “land and naval forces” because of the recent establishment of the Department of the Air Force as an “armed force” rather than as a part of the “land and naval forces”. The Coast Guard is designated a service in the Treasury Department except when operating as a service in the Navy. This is a better definition of the status of the Coast Guard than one which defines it as a service under the Treasury Department in time of peace, because the President is authorized to place the Coast Guard under the Navy in time of emergency, which could be in time of peace. Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesThis section defines in general terms, for the first time in any statute, all the primary duties of the Coast Guard. It is derived from title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 45, 50k–50o, 51, 52, 53, 55, 60, 61, 62, 63, 98a, 104, 261, 301, title 33, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 720, 720a, 740, 740a, 740b, title 46, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 1 (footnote), 2 (R.S. 1536, 2747, 2758, 2759, 4249; June 23, 1874, ch. 455, § 1, 18 Stat. 220; June 18, 1878, ch. 265, § 4, 20 Stat. 163; July 5, 1884, ch. 221, § 2, 23 Stat. 118; Feb. 14, 1903, ch. 552, § 10, 32 Stat. 829; Apr. 19, 1906, ch. 1640, §§ 1–3, 34 Stat. 123; May 12, 1906, ch. 2454, 34 Stat. 190; June 17, 1910, ch. 301, §§ 6, 7, 36 Stat. 538; Mar. 4, 1913, ch. 141, § 1, 37 Stat. 736; June 24, 1914, ch. 124, 38 Stat. 387; Mar. 3, 1915, ch. 81, § 5, 38 Stat. 927; Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 1820; May 22, 1926, ch. 371, § 6, 44 Stat. 626; June 30, 1932, ch. 314, § 501, 47 Stat. 415; May 27, 1936, ch. 463, § 1, 49 Stat. 1380; Aug. 16, 1937, ch. 665, § 3, 50 Stat. 667; Feb. 19, 1941, ch. 8, §§ 2, 201, 55 Stat. 9, 11; July 11, 1941, ch. 290, § 7, 55 Stat. 585; Nov. 23, 1942, ch. 639, § 2(2), 56 Stat. 102; Sept. 30, 1944, ch. 453, § 1, 58 Stat. 759; June 22, 1948, ch. 600, 62 Stat. 574; June 26, 1948, ch. 672, 62 Stat. 1050). This section contains a codification of functions. It sets forth in general language the primary responsibilities of the Coast Guard: enforcement of all Federal laws on waters to which they have application, safety of life and property at sea, aiding navigation, and readiness to function with the Navy. Having been created in 1915 by the consolidation of the Revenue Cutter Service and the Life Saving Service, the Coast Guard has gradually been given additional duties and responsibilities, such as the assignment of law enforcement powers on the high seas and navigable waters in 1936, the transfer of the Lighthouse Service in 1939, and the transfer of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation in 1942. Existing along with these other duties has been that of maintaining a state of readiness as a specialized service prepared for active participation with the Navy in time of war. These various interdependent functions of the Service have not been expressed collectively in any statute heretofore, but it is believed desirable to do so in this revision in order to have outlined in general terms in one section the broad scope of the functions of the Coast Guard. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 104 - Removing restrictions
+
+## Text
+
+Any law removing for the duration of a war or national emergency proclaimed by the President any restriction contained in any then-existing law as applied to the Navy, including, but not limited to, restrictions relating to the manner in which purchases may be made and contracts awarded, fiscal operations, and personnel, shall, in the same manner and to the same extent, remove such restrictions as applied to the Coast Guard.
+
+(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 550, § 652; renumbered § 104, Pub. L. 115–282, title I, § 103(b), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4195.)
+
+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesThis section is new and provides that any law removing for the duration of a war or national emergency any restriction contained in any then-existing law as applied to the Navy shall operate in the same manner to remove such restrictions as applied to the Coast Guard. Included are restrictions relating to the manner in which purchases may be made and contracts awarded, fiscal operations, and personnel. This provision is designed to enable the Coast Guard to operate as efficiently as the Navy Department in time of war or during a national emergency and would permit the Coast Guard more effectively to maintain itself in a state of military readiness during periods of emergency. Since the Coast Guard operates as part of the Navy in time of war, it is essential that its operations be as flexible and as efficient as those of the Department of which it is to be a part. This section would prevent inadvertent failures specifically to mention the Coast Guard in legislation of the type described in this section from hindering service operations. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

Subsection (d) is derived from title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 355 to 356b (Feb. 4, 1919, ch. 14, §§ 2–5, 40 Stat. 1056; Aug. 7, 1942, ch. 551, § 1, 56 Stat. 743). Said sections authorized medals for presentation “… to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy of the United States . . .”; inasmuch as this language includes the Coast Guard when it is operating under the Navy, this subsection entails no change in existing law. Subsection (e) is based on title 34, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 228 (R.S. 1442; Feb. 28, 1942, ch. 11, 59 Stat. 9). Inasmuch as R.S. 1442 cited above applies to the Navy and Marine Corps as well as the Coast Guard it is not scheduled for repeal but is being amended by section 6 of this act to eliminate reference to the Coast Guard. Subsection (f) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 3 (Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 600). Said section has been divided.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 1109 - Undefinitized contractual actions
+
+## Text
+
+(a) In General.— The Coast Guard may not enter into an undefinitized contractual action unless such action is directly approved by the Head of Contracting Activity of the Coast Guard.
+
+(b) Requests for Undefinitized Contractual Actions.— Any request to the Head of Contracting Activity for approval of an undefinitized contractual action shall include a description of the anticipated effect on requirements of the Coast Guard if a delay is incurred for the purposes of determining contractual terms, specifications, and price before performance is begun under the contractual action.
+
+(c) Requirements for Undefinitized Contractual Actions.— (1) Deadline for agreement on terms, specifications, and price.— A contracting officer of the Coast Guard may not enter into an undefinitized contractual action unless the contractual action provides for agreement upon contractual terms, specification, and price by the earlier of—
+
+(A) the end of the 180-day period beginning on the date on which the contractor submits a qualifying proposal to definitize the contractual terms, specifications, and price; or
+
+(B) the date on which the amount of funds obligated under the contractual action is equal to more than 50 percent of the negotiated overall ceiling price for the contractual action.
+
+(2) Limitation on obligations.— (A) In general.— Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the contracting officer for an undefinitized contractual action may not obligate under such contractual action an amount that exceeds 50 percent of the negotiated overall ceiling price until the contractual terms, specifications, and price are definitized for such contractual action.
+
+(B) Exception.— Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), if a contractor submits a qualifying proposal to definitize an undefinitized contractual action before an amount that exceeds 50 percent of the negotiated overall ceiling price is obligated on such action, the contracting officer for such action may not obligate with respect to such contractual action an amount that exceeds 75 percent of the negotiated overall ceiling price until the contractual terms, specifications, and price are definitized for such contractual action.
+
+(3) Waiver.— The Commandant may waive the application of this subsection with respect to a contract if the Commandant determines that the waiver is necessary to support—
+
+(A) a contingency operation (as that term is defined in section 101(a)(13) of title 10);
+
+(B) operations to prevent or respond to a transportation security incident (as defined in section 70101(6) 11 See References in Text note below. of title 46);
+
+(C) an operation in response to an emergency that poses an unacceptable threat to human health or safety or to the marine environment; or
+

+
+(4) Limitation on application.— This subsection does not apply to an undefinitized contractual action for the purchase of initial spares.
+
+(d) Inclusion of Nonurgent Requirements.— Requirements for spare parts and support equipment that are not needed on an urgent basis may not be included in an undefinitized contractual action by the Coast Guard for spare parts and support equipment that are needed on an urgent basis unless the Commandant approves such inclusion as being—
+
+(1) good business practice; and
+
+(2) in the best interests of the United States.
+
+(e) Modification of Scope.— The scope of an undefinitized contractual action under which performance has begun may not be modified unless the Commandant approves such modification as being—
+
+(1) good business practice; and
+
+(2) in the best interests of the United States.
+
+(f) Allowable Profit.— The Commandant shall ensure that the profit allowed on an undefinitized contractual action for which the final price is negotiated after a substantial portion of the performance required is completed reflects—
+
+(1) the possible reduced cost risk of the contractor with respect to costs incurred during performance of the contract before the final price is negotiated; and
+
+(2) the reduced cost risk of the contractor with respect to costs incurred during performance of the remaining portion of the contract.
+
+(g) Definitions.— In this section:
+
+(1) Undefinitized contractual action.— (A) In general.— Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the term “undefinitized contractual action” means a new procurement action entered into by the Coast Guard for which the contractual terms, specifications, or price are not agreed upon before performance is begun under the action.
+
+(B) Exclusion.— The term “undefinitized contractual action” does not include contractual actions with respect to—
+
+(i) foreign military sales;
+
+(ii) purchases in an amount not in excess of the amount of the simplified acquisition threshold; or
+
+(iii) special access programs.
+
+(2) Qualifying proposal.— The term “qualifying proposal” means a proposal that contains sufficient information to enable complete and meaningful audits of the information contained in the proposal as determined by the contracting officer.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 1132 - Acquisition
+
+## Text
+
+(a) In General.— The Commandant may not establish a Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program until the Commandant—
+
+(1) clearly defines the operational requirements for the project or program;
+
+(2) establishes the feasibility of alternatives;
+
+(3) develops an acquisition project or program baseline;
+
+(4) produces a life-cycle cost estimate; and
+
+(5) assesses the relative merits of alternatives to determine a preferred solution in accordance with the requirements of this section.
+
+(b) Submission Required Before Proceeding.— Any Coast Guard Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program may not begin to obtain any capability or asset or proceed beyond that phase of its development that entails approving the supporting acquisition until the Commandant submits to the appropriate congressional committees the following:
+
+(1) The key performance parameters, the key system attributes, and the operational performance attributes of the capability or asset to be acquired under the proposed acquisition project or program.
+
+(2) A detailed list of the systems or other capabilities with which the capability or asset to be acquired is intended to be interoperable, including an explanation of the attributes of interoperability.
+
+(3) The anticipated acquisition project or program baseline and acquisition unit cost for the capability or asset to be acquired under the project or program.
+
+(4) A detailed schedule for the acquisition process showing when all capability and asset acquisitions are to be completed and when all acquired capabilities and assets are to be initially and fully deployed.
+
+(c) Analysis of Alternatives.— (1) In general.— The Coast Guard may not acquire an experimental or technically immature capability or asset or implement a Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program, unless it has prepared an analysis of alternatives for the capability or asset to be acquired in the concept and technology development phase of the acquisition process for the capability or asset.
+
+(2) Requirements.— The analysis of alternatives shall be prepared by a federally funded research and development center, a qualified entity of the Department of Defense, or a similar independent third-party entity that has appropriate acquisition expertise and has no financial interest in any part of the acquisition project or program that is the subject of the analysis. At a minimum, the analysis of alternatives shall include—
+
+(A) an assessment of the technical maturity of the capability or asset, and technical and other risks;
+
+(B) an examination of capability, interoperability, and other advantages and disadvantages;
+
+(C) an evaluation of whether different combinations or quantities of specific assets or capabilities could meet the Coast Guard’s overall performance needs;
+
+(D) a discussion of key assumptions and variables, and sensitivity to change in such assumptions and variables;
+
+(E) when an alternative is an existing capability, asset, or prototype, an evaluation of relevant safety and performance records and costs;
+
+(F) a calculation of life-cycle costs including—
+
+(i) an examination of likely research and development costs and the levels of uncertainty associated with such estimated costs;
+
+(ii) an examination of likely production and deployment costs and the levels of uncertainty associated with such estimated costs;
+
+(iii) an examination of likely operating and support costs and the levels of uncertainty associated with such estimated costs;
+
+(iv) if they are likely to be significant, an examination of likely disposal costs and the levels of uncertainty associated with such estimated costs; and
+
+(v) such additional measures as the Commandant or the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating determines to be necessary for appropriate evaluation of the capability or asset; and
+
+(G) the business case for each viable alternative.
+
+(d) Test and Evaluation Master Plan.— (1) In general.— For any Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program the Chief Acquisition Officer must approve a test and evaluation master plan specific to the acquisition project or program for the capability, asset, or subsystems of the capability or asset and intended to minimize technical, cost, and schedule risk as early as practicable in the development of the project or program.
+
+(2) Test and evaluation strategy.— The master plan shall—
+
+(A) set forth an integrated test and evaluation strategy that will verify that capability-level or asset-level and subsystem-level design and development, including performance and supportability, have been sufficiently proven before the capability, asset, or subsystem of the capability or asset is approved for production; and
+
+(B) require that adequate developmental tests and evaluations and operational tests and evaluations established under subparagraph (A) are performed to inform production decisions.
+
+(3) Other components of the master plan.— At a minimum, the master plan shall identify—
+
+(A) the key performance parameters to be resolved through the integrated test and evaluation strategy;
+
+(B) the performance data to be used to determine whether the key performance parameters have been resolved;
+
+(C) critical operational issues to be assessed in addition to the key performance parameters;
+
+(D) the results during test and evaluation that will be required to demonstrate that a capability, asset, or subsystem meets performance requirements;
+
+(E) specific development test and evaluation phases and the scope of each phase;
+
+(F) modeling and simulation activities to be performed, if any, and the scope of such activities;
+
+(G) early operational assessments to be performed, if any, and the scope of such assessments;
+
+(H) operational test and evaluation phases;
+
+(I) an estimate of the resources, including funds, that will be required for all test, evaluation, assessment, modeling, and simulation activities; and
+
+(J) the Government entity or independent entity that will perform the test, evaluation, assessment, modeling, and simulation activities.
+
+(4) Update.— The Chief Acquisition Officer must approve an updated master plan whenever there is a revision to project or program test and evaluation strategy, scope, or phasing.
+
+(5) Limitation.— The Coast Guard may not—
+
+(A) proceed beyond that phase of the acquisition process that entails approving the supporting acquisition of a capability or asset before the master plan is approved by the Chief Acquisition Officer; or
+
+(B) award any production contract for a capability, asset, or subsystem for which a master plan is required under this subsection before the master plan is approved by the Chief Acquisition Officer.
+
+(e) Life-Cycle Cost Estimates.— (1) In general.— The Commandant shall implement mechanisms to ensure the development and regular updating of life-cycle cost estimates for each acquisition with a total acquisition cost that equals or exceeds $10,000,000 and an expected service life of 10 or more years, and to ensure that these estimates are considered in decisions to develop or produce new or enhanced capabilities and assets.
+
+(2) Types of estimates.— For each Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program, in addition to life-cycle cost estimates developed under paragraph (1), the Commandant shall require that—
+
+(A) life-cycle cost estimates developed under paragraph (1) be updated before—
+
+(i) each milestone decision is concluded; and
+
+(ii) the project or program enters a new acquisition phase; and

+
+## Text
+
+(a) In General.— The Commandant shall submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees and the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days, after the Chief Acquisition Officer of the Coast Guard becomes aware of the breach of an acquisition program baseline for any Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition program, by—
+
+(1) a likely cost overrun greater than 15 percent of the acquisition program baseline for that individual capability or asset or a class of capabilities or assets;
+
+(2) a likely delay of more than 180 days in the delivery schedule for any individual capability or asset or class of capabilities or assets; or
+
+(3) an anticipated failure for any individual capability or asset or class of capabilities or assets to satisfy any key performance threshold or parameter under the acquisition program baseline.
+
+(b) Content.— The report submitted under subsection (a) shall include—
+
+(1) a detailed description of the breach and an explanation of its cause;
+
+(2) the projected impact to performance, cost, and schedule;
+
+(3) an updated acquisition program baseline and the complete history of changes to the original acquisition program baseline;
+
+(4) the updated acquisition schedule and the complete history of changes to the original schedule;
+
+(5) a full life-cycle cost analysis for the capability or asset or class of capabilities or assets;
+
+(6) a remediation plan identifying corrective actions and any resulting issues or risks; and
+
+(7) a description of how progress in the remediation plan will be measured and monitored.
+
+(c) Substantial Variances in Costs or Schedule.— If a likely cost overrun is greater than 20 percent or a likely delay is greater than 12 months from the costs and schedule described in the acquisition program baseline for any Level 1 or Level 2 acquisition project or program of the Coast Guard, the Commandant shall include in the report a written determination, with a supporting explanation, of whether—
+
+(1) the capability or asset or capability or asset class to be acquired under the project or program is essential to the accomplishment of Coast Guard missions;
+
+(2) there are no alternatives to such capability or asset or capability or asset class that will provide equal or greater capability in both a more cost-effective and timely manner;
+
+(3) the new acquisition schedule and estimates for total acquisition cost are reasonable; and
+
+(4) the management structure for the acquisition program is adequate to manage and control performance, cost, and schedule.
+
+(d) Notice to Congress With Respect to Breach of Contract.— Not later than 48 hours after the Commandant becomes aware that a major acquisition contract cannot be carried out under the terms specified in the contract, the Commandant shall provide a written notification to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives that includes—
+
+(1) a description of the terms of the contract that cannot be met; and
+
+(2) an assessment of whether the applicable contract officer has issued a cease and desist order to the contractor based on the breach of such terms of the contract.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 1925 - Agreement
+
+## Text
+
+(a) Each cadet shall sign an agreement with respect to the cadet’s length of service in the Coast Guard. The agreement shall provide that the cadet agrees to the following:
+
+(1) That the cadet will complete the course of instruction at the Coast Guard Academy.
+
+(2) That upon graduation from the Coast Guard Academy the cadet—
+
+(A) will accept an appointment, if tendered, as a commissioned officer of the Coast Guard; and
+
+(B) will serve on active duty for at least five years immediately after such appointment.
+
+(3) That if an appointment described in paragraph (2) is not tendered or if the cadet is permitted to resign as a regular officer before the completion of the commissioned service obligation of the cadet, the cadet—
+
+(A) will accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in the Coast Guard Reserve; and
+
+(B) will remain in that reserve component until completion of the commissioned service obligation of the cadet.
+
+(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—
+
+(1) standards for determining what constitutes, for the purpose of subsection (b), a breach of an agreement under subsection (a);
+
+(2) procedures for determining whether such a breach has occurred; and
+
+(3) standards for determining the period of time for which a person may be ordered to serve on active duty under subsection (b).
+
+(d) In this section, “commissioned service obligation”, with respect to an officer who is a graduate of the Academy, means the period beginning on the date of the officer’s appointment as a 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.
+
+(f) A cadet or former cadet who does not fulfill the terms of the obligation to serve as specified under section (a), or the alternative obligation imposed under subsection (b), shall be subject to the repayment provisions of section 303a(e) of title 37.
+

+
+## Text
+
+The Secretary may prescribe a sum which shall be credited to each new cadet upon first admission to the Academy, to cover the cost of an initial clothing and equipment issue, which sum shall be deducted subsequently from the pay of such cadet. Each cadet discharged prior to graduation who is indebted to the United States on account of advances of pay to purchase required clothing and equipment shall be required to turn in to the Academy all clothing and equipment of a distinctively military nature to the extent required to discharge such indebtedness; and, if the value of such clothing and equipment so turned in does not cover the indebtedness incurred, then such indebtedness shall be canceled.

+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 15d (Apr. 16, 1937, ch. 107, § 3, 50 Stat. 67; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56 Stat. 265). The last sentence is new and is inserted to permit adjustment of the work load and leave schedule of Academy faculty members due to the peculiarity of the academic schedule. The last sentence of this section is new, being included in order to allow for adjusting the working time and leave of civilian instructors in conformity with the academic terms at the Academy. The work load of an instructor varies greatly, and flexibility in administration of a faculty is therefore essential. The leave provided for civil service employees does not fit the needs of an instruction staff, and this has been a source of difficulty in the past. This new provision would permit leave during the summer and between academic terms without deduction from pay, and, it is contemplated, at no other time. Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 1942 - Permanent commissioned teaching staff; composition
+
+## Text
+
+The permanent commissioned teaching staff at the Academy shall consist of professors, associate professors, assistant professors and instructors, in such numbers as the needs of the Service require. They shall perform duties as prescribed by the Commandant, and exercise command only in the academic department of the Academy.
+
+(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 509, § 187; Pub. L. 86–474, § 1(10), May 14, 1960, 74 Stat. 145; renumbered § 1942, Pub. L. 115–282, title I, § 110(b), Dec. 4, 2018, 132 Stat. 4212.)
+
+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 15b, 15c (Apr. 16, 1937, ch. 107, §§ 1, 2, 50 Stat. 66; May 2, 1942, ch. 273, 56 Stat. 265). Section 15b of title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., has been divided. Part of the provisions of the first sentence is placed in this section, while other provisions are placed in section 188 of this title. Section 15c of title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., has been divided. The last sentence is incorporated in this section, while the other provisions are placed in section 189 of this title. The composition of the teaching staff at the Academy is changed materially on the recommendation of the Academic Board and the Advisory Committee. The scope of duty of members of the staff is enlarged to include whatever the Commandant prescribes. Title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 15b provides for five professors as heads or assistant heads of departments at the Academy. The Academic Board of the Academy and the Advisory Committee, after extensive study have recommended the change, as provided in this section, to three professors and twelve others on the permanent teaching staff, with designations to conform generally with the designations and grades of faculty members at other universities. The librarian is given faculty status because of the role of the library as the center of the modern university; this is in conformity with the practice of other higher educational institutions. It is believed that the increased number of permanent commissioned instructors is justified and desirable in view of the expansion of the Cadet Corps as the full effect of the return to a four-year course is felt. It is probable that, in the next few years, the number of cadets will approximate 450. The average number in the past two years has been about 300. This new set-up for the permanent commissioned teaching staff will permit desirable exchanges of professors with leading universities, and occasional sabbatical leaves in order to better the faculty generally. It is pointed out that this increase in permanent instructors does not increase the authorized number of officers in the Coast Guard, as they are all included in the limitation provided in section 42 of this title. If a teaching position at the Academy is not provided for permanently it will require the assignment of an additional regular officer, so it is apparent that the changes proposed in this section do not increase the size of the Service, or the expense, but represent a long-range plan to better the Academy as a leading educational institution within the present, recognized, standards for a proper university faculty. The last sentence retains the command status of the professors as provided in existing law but enlarges the field in which they may perform duty, in order to make it possible to give them interim assignments other than at the Academy, thus broadening their knowledge of the Service while still advantageously utilizing their services. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 1943 - Appointment of permanent commissioned teaching staff
+
+## Text
+
+The President may appoint in the Coast Guard, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, the professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors who are to serve on the permanent commissioned teaching staff of the Academy. An original appointment to the permanent commissioned teaching staff, unless the appointee has served as a civilian member of the teaching staff, regular commissioned officer, temporary commissioned officer, or reserve commissioned officer in the Coast Guard, shall be a temporary appointment until the appointee has satisfactorily completed a probationary term of four years of service; thereafter he may be regularly appointed and his rank shall date from the date of his temporary appointment in the grade in which permanently appointed.

That part of the first sentence which provides for the composition of the teaching staff is incorporated in section 187 of this title. The other provisions are incorporated in this section, except for the proviso which has been omitted as no longer needed. This section incorporates the following changes because of the new plan for the permanent teaching staff: the President is authorized to appoint a candidate to any of the grades prescribed; and the probationary term, applicable unless the candidate has served in the Coast Guard as prescribed in this section, is increased from two to four years. Authorization for appointment in any grade is deemed desirable in order to permit the acquisition of outstanding instructors for the staff. It is believed that the former two-year period was too short to fully evaluate the capabilities of a temporary appointee. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+
+## Text
+
+Professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors in the Coast Guard shall be subject to retirement or discharge from active service for any cause on the same basis as other commissioned officers of the Coast Guard, except that they shall not be required to retire from active service under the provisions of section 2149 of this title, nor shall they be subject to the provisions of section 2150 of this title, nor shall they be required to retire at age sixty-two but may be permitted to serve until age sixty-four at which time unless earlier retired or separated they shall be retired. The Secretary may retire any member of the permanent commissioned teaching staff who has completed thirty years’ active service. Service as a civilian member of the teaching staff at the Academy in addition to creditable service authorized by any other law in any of the military services rendered prior to an appointment as a professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor shall be credited in computing length of service for retirement purposes. The provisions of law relating to retirement for disability in line of duty shall not apply in the case of a professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor serving under a temporary appointment.

+## Notes
+
+Historical and Revision NotesBased on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 15f (Apr. 16, 1937, ch. 107, § 5, 50 Stat. 67). The provision prohibiting the retirement of a professor because of physical disability with less than 15 years’ service is changed to have application only during the temporary appointment of a professor. This section provides for the retirement of associate professors, assistant professors, and commissioned instructors in addition to professors. It is believed that the provision of existing law requiring 15 years’ service before becoming eligible for retirement, discriminated against this group of officers as no other group was discriminated against, and should be eliminated. It was changed so that these officers would be ineligible for retirement during their probationary term only. Changes were made in phraseology. 81st Congress, House Report No. 557.

+
+## Text
+
+(a) Before convening a selection board to recommend officers for promotion to any grade above lieutenant (junior grade) and below rear admiral (lower half), the Secretary shall establish a promotion zone for the grade to be considered. The promotion zone for each grade shall consist of the most senior officers of that grade on the active duty promotion list who are eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade and who have not previously been placed in a promotion zone for selection for promotion to the next higher grade. The number of officers in each zone shall be determined after considering—
+
+(1) the needs of the service;
+
+(2) the estimated numbers of vacancies available in future years to provide comparable opportunity for promotion of officers in successive year groups; and
+
+(3) the extent to which current terms of service in that grade conform to a desirable career promotion pattern.
+
+However, such number of officers shall not exceed the number to be selected for promotion divided by one-half.
+
+(b) Promotion zones from which officers will be selected for promotion to the grade of rear admiral (lower half) shall be established by the Secretary as the needs of the service require.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 2113 - Eligibility of officers for consideration for promotion
+
+## Text
+
+(a) An officer on the active duty promotion list becomes eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade at the beginning of the promotion year in which he completes the following amount of service computed from his date of rank in the grade in which he is serving:
+
+(1) two years in the grade of lieutenant (junior grade);
+
+(2) three years in the grade of lieutenant;
+
+(3) four years in the grade of lieutenant commander;
+
+(4) four years in the grade of commander; and
+
+(5) three years in the grade of captain.
+
+(b) For the purpose of this section, service in a grade includes all qualifying service in that grade or a higher grade, under either a temporary or permanent appointment. However, service in a grade under a temporary service appointment under section 2125 of this title is considered as service only in the grade that the officer concerned would have held had he not been so appointed.
+
+(c) No officer may become eligible for consideration for promotion until all officers of his grade senior to him are so eligible.
+
+(d) Except when his name is on a list of selectees, each officer who becomes eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade remains eligible so long as he—
+
+(1) continues on active duty; and
+
+(2) is not promoted to that grade.
+
+(e) An officer whose involuntary retirement or separation is deferred under section 2156 of this title is not eligible for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade during the period of that deferment.
+
+(f) The Secretary may waive subsection (a) to the extent necessary to allow officers described therein to have at least two opportunities for consideration for promotion to the next higher grade as officers below the promotion zone.
+
+(g) (1) Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Commandant may provide that an officer may, upon the officer’s request and with the approval of the Commandant, be excluded from consideration by a selection board convened under section 2106.
+
+(2) The Commandant shall approve a request under paragraph (1) only if—
+
+(A) the basis for the request is to allow the officer to complete a broadening assignment, advanced education, another assignment of significant value to the Coast Guard, a career progression requirement delayed by the assignment or education, or a qualifying personal or professional circumstance, as determined by the Commandant;
+
+(B) the Commandant determines the exclusion from consideration is in the best interest of the Coast Guard; and
+

No officer may be recommended for promotion unless he receives the recommendation of at least a majority of the members of a board composed of five members, or at least two-thirds of the members of a board composed of more than five members.
+

+

+
+(3) The Secretary shall submit any finding made by the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (2) to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate.

+# 14 U.S.C. § 2120 - Special selection boards; correction of errors
+
+## Text
+
+(a) Officers Not Considered Due to Administrative Error.— (1) In general.— If the Secretary determines that as the result of an administrative error—
+
+(A) an officer or former officer was not considered for selection for promotion by a selection board convened under section 2106; or
+
+(B) the name of an officer or former officer was not placed on an all-fully-qualified-officers list;
+
+the Secretary shall convene a special selection board to determine whether such officer or former officer should be recommended for promotion and such officer or former officer shall not be considered to have failed of selection for promotion prior to the consideration of the special selection board.
+
+(2) Effect of failure to recommend for promotion.— If a special selection board convened under paragraph (1) does not recommend for promotion an officer or former officer, whose grade is below the grade of captain and whose name was referred to that board for consideration, the officer or former officer shall be considered to have failed of selection for promotion.
+
+(b) Officers Considered But Not Selected; Material Error.— (1) In general.— In the case of an officer or former officer who was eligible for promotion, was considered for selection for promotion by a selection board convened under section 2106, and was not selected for promotion by that board, the Secretary may convene a special selection board to determine whether the officer or former officer should be recommended for promotion, if the Secretary determines that—
+
+(A) an action of the selection board that considered the officer or former officer—
+
+(i) was contrary to law in a matter material to the decision of the board; or
+
+(ii) involved material error of fact or material administrative error; or
+
+(B) the selection board that considered the officer or former officer did not have before it for consideration material information.
+
+(2) Effect of failure to recommend for promotion.— If a special selection board convened under paragraph (1) does not recommend for promotion an officer or former officer, whose grade is that of commander or below and whose name was referred to that board for consideration, the officer or former officer shall be considered—
+
+(A) to have failed of selection for promotion with respect to the board that considered the officer or former officer prior to the consideration of the special selection board; and
+
+(B) to incur no additional failure of selection for promotion as a result of the action of the special selection board.
+
+(c) Requirements for Special Selection Boards.— Each special selection board convened under this section shall—
+
+(1) be composed in accordance with section 2107 and the members of the board shall be required to swear the oaths described in section 2109;
+
+(2) consider the record of an applicable officer or former officer as that record, if corrected, would have appeared to the selection board that should have considered or did consider the officer or former officer prior to the consideration of the special selection board and that record shall be compared with a sampling of the records of—
+
+(A) those officers of the same grade who were recommended for promotion by such prior selection board; and
+
+(B) those officers of the same grade who were not recommended for promotion by such prior selection board; and
+
+(3) submit to the Secretary a written report in a manner consistent with sections 2117 and 2118.
+
+(d) Appointment of Officers Recommended for Promotion.— (1) In general.— An officer or former officer whose name is placed on a promotion list as a result of the recommendation of a special selection board convened under this section shall be appointed, as soon as practicable, to the next higher grade in accordance with the law and policies that would have been applicable to the officer or former officer had the officer or former officer been recommended for promotion by the selection board that should have considered or did consider the officer or former officer prior to the consideration of the special selection board.
+
+(2) Effect.— An officer or former officer who is promoted to the next higher grade as a result of the recommendation of a special selection board convened under this section shall have, upon such promotion, the same date of rank, the same effective date for the pay and allowances of that grade, and the same position on the active duty promotion list as the officer or former officer would have had if the officer or former officer had been recommended for promotion to that grade by the selection board that should have considered or did consider the officer or former officer prior to the consideration of the special selection board.
+
+(3) Record correction.— If the report of a special selection board convened under this section, as approved by the President, recommends for promotion to the next higher grade an officer not eligible for promotion or a former officer whose name was referred to the board for consideration, the Secretary may act under section 1552 of title 10 to correct the military record of the officer or former officer to correct an error or remove an injustice resulting from the officer or former officer not being selected for promotion by the selection board that should have considered or did consider the officer or former officer prior to the consideration of the special selection board.
+
+(e) Application Process and Time Limits.— The Secretary shall issue regulations regarding the process by which an officer or former officer may apply to have a matter considered by a special selection board convened under this section, including time limits related to such applications.
+
+(f) Limitation of Other Jurisdiction.— No official or court of the United States shall have authority or jurisdiction over any claim based in any way on the failure of an officer or former officer to be selected for promotion by a selection board convened under section 2106, until—
+
+(1) the claim has been referred to a special selection board convened under this section and acted upon by that board; or
+
+(2) the claim has been rejected by the Secretary without consideration by a special selection board convened under this section.
+
+(g) Judicial Review.— (1) In general.— A court of the United States may review—
+
+(A) a decision of the Secretary not to convene a special selection board under this section to determine if the court finds that the decision of the Secretary was arbitrary or capricious, not based on substantial evidence, or otherwise contrary to law; and
+
+(B) an action of a special selection board under this section to determine if the court finds that the action of the special selection board was contrary to law or involved material error of fact or material administrative error.
+
+(2) Remand and reconsideration.— If, with respect to a review under paragraph (1), a court makes a finding described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of that paragraph, the court shall remand the case to the Secretary and the Secretary shall provide the applicable officer or former officer consideration by a new special selection board convened under this section.
+
+(h) Designation of Boards.— The Secretary may designate a selection board convened under section 2106 as a special selection board convened under this section. A selection board so designated may function in the capacity of a selection board convened under section 2106 and a special selection board convened under this section.
