These funds are available to the Secretary from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund (Trust Fund) established under 26 U.S.C. 9504(a) for payment of Coast Guard expenses for personnel and activities directly related to coordinating and carrying out the national recreational boating safety program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    Since 1998, Congress has passed a series of laws providing funding 
for projects, programs, and activities funded under the national 
recreational boating safety program, which is administered by the U.S. 
Coast Guard. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and 
Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58, Sec. 28001) set aside funding for Coast Guard 
administration, which for fiscal year 2023 was $13.835 million. Of 
that, not less than $2.1 million shall be made available to ensure 
compliance with chapter 43 of title 46, U.S. Code, and not more than 
$1.5 million is available to conduct by grant or contract a survey of 
levels of recreational boating participation and related matters in the 
United States.
    These funds are available to the Secretary from the Sport Fish 
Restoration and Boating Trust Fund (Trust Fund) established under 26 
U.S.C. 9504(a) for payment of Coast Guard expenses for personnel and 
activities directly related to coordinating and carrying out the 
national recreational boating safety program. Amounts made available 
under this subsection remain available during the two succeeding fiscal 
years. Any amount that is unexpended or unobligated at the end of the 
three-year period during which it is available shall be withdrawn by 
the Secretary and allocated to the States in addition to any other 
amounts available for allocation in the fiscal year in which they are 
withdrawn or the following fiscal year.
    Use of these funds requires compliance with standard Federal 
contracting rules with associated lead and processing times resulting 
in a lag time between available funds and spending. The total amount of 
funding transferred to the Coast Guard from the Trust Fund, and 
committed, obligated, and/or expended during fiscal year 2023 for each 
project is shown below.
