  for the purpose of modifying contracts for offshore patrol cutters.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Restore Coast Guard Capabilities 
Act''.

SEC. 2. MODIFICATIONS TO CONTRACTS FOR OFFSHORE PATROL CUTTERS 
              PERMITTED BASED ON IMPACTS OF HURRICANE MICHAEL.

    Notwithstanding Public Law 85-804, the United States Coast Guard is 
authorized to take into account the impacts of Hurricane Michael for 
the purpose of modifying, without consideration, but not exceeding the 
original affordability requirement as set forth in section C of the 
existing contract to construct Offshore Patrol Cutters upon a 
determination that doing so would facilitate national security.
