To direct the Commandant of the Coast Guard to implement a restructuring plan in San Pedro Bay, and for other purposes.
HR 7448 requires the Coast Guard to implement a 2021 restructuring plan for anchorages in San Pedro Bay to address proximity to underwater pipelines, effective within one year of enactment. It mandates a study identifying all anchorage areas within one mile of pipelines, with a report to Congress within two years detailing relocation options and recommendations. The bill also directs the Coast Guard to add audible/visual alarms in vessel monitoring systems for pipeline proximity alerts and develop procedures to notify pipeline operators of potential incursions. Annual reports on these measures must be submitted to relevant congressional committees. The law directly affects Coast Guard operations in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Vessel Traffic Service area and pipeline safety protocols.
