                             General Leave

  Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks and to include extraneous material on H.R. 6516.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Maryland?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6516, to make technical 
corrections to provisions of law enacted by the Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2010.
  The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 is the first Coast Guard 
authorizing legislation to become law since 2006. This law represents 
years of hard work toward improving the service's capabilities by 
addressing the following issues: oil pollution prevention, acquisition 
reform, port security, marine safety, and the Coast Guard's 
organizational structure.

                              {time}  1700

  This law also protects the public and our environment by prohibiting 
the sale, distribution, and use of toxic anti-fouling systems for hulls 
of ships and marine structures.
  I am very proud of the work of so many who contributed to this 
important piece of maritime legislation. However, after the bill was 
enacted, we identified a small number of technical drafting errors. 
H.R. 6516 corrects those minor errors.
  I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 6516.
  I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  I rise in strong support of H.R. 6516. This bill does make several 
very minor technical changes to the recently enacted Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2010. This legislation was put together with the 
cooperation of Mr. Cummings, Mr. Oberstar, and with the assistance of 
the Office of Legislative Counsel. I urge all Members to support H.R. 
6516.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CUMMINGS. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Cummings) that the House suspend the rules 
and pass the bill, H.R. 6516.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds being in the affirmative) the 
rules were suspended and the bill was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
