The bill would
  * Reauthorize and amend programs administered by the Coast Guard (USCG) and the Federal Maritime
     Commission (FMC)
  * Provide mandatory funding for the USCG to cover the cost of pay and benefits for certain personnel in the
     event of a lapse in discretionary appropriations for the USCG
  * Make amounts in the Coast Guard Housing Fund and the Abandoned Seafarers Fund available for use
     without further appropriation
  * Require the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department
     of Homeland Security (DHS) to study and submit reports on maritime programs
  * Impose a civil penalty on certain vessel operators who do not wear an engine cut-off switch

Estimated budgetary effects would primarily stem from
  * Authorizing appropriations for USCG and FMC programs for fiscal years 2020 and 2021
  * Permitting the USCG to incur certain obligations and expend federal funds without further appropriation

Areas of significant uncertainty include
  * The timing and duration of possible lapses in discretionary appropriations
  * The number of events that could cause additional payments to oil spill response organizations
