                        OIL SPILL PREVENTION ACT

  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, the managers' amendment to S. 685, the 
Oil Spill Prevention Act, will eliminate the authorization of 
appropriations from the international seafarer protection provision, 
reduce a biannual Coast Guard reporting requirement to an annual 
reporting requirement, and remove an annual Coast Guard reporting 
requirement that is no longer necessary or appropriate. These 
modifications to the committee-reported bill render it revenue neutral.
