United States Coast Guard Corrosion Control Assistance Team Pilot Program Act

This bill would require the Coast Guard to set up a pilot program within 180 days to help its field units prevent and control corrosion on ships and other equipment. The program would form at least two specialist teams that visit units on request, assess corrosion, recommend maintenance, train personnel, and keep a collection of best practices. The Coast Guard would consult with the Department of Defense and review the Navy's similar program, and could contract with private firms or borrow military staff. The program would last 3 years, with a possible extension of up to 2 more years, and the Coast Guard would send interim and final reports to Congress and post them online.
