     SECTION ____. CONSIDERATION OF IMPACT OF HURRICANE MICHAEL IN 
                   MODIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS FOR 
                   OFFSHORE PATROL CUTTERS.

       Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Commandant 
     of the Coast Guard may consider the impact of Hurricane 
     Michael in modifying, without consideration, a contract 
     relating to the construction of one or more Offshore Patrol 
     Cutters if the Commandant determines that the consideration 
     of such impacts is in the national security interests of the 
     United States.
