The House passed the Coast Guard Authorization Act (HR 3619) on October 23, 2009, and it was subsequently sent to the Senate. One section (218) creates a process where nominations will be required as part of the USCGA appointment process.

It was then sent to the Senate, and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.

The Senate then introduced and passed out of Committee their own Coast Guard Authorization Bill (S. 1194) and on October 30, 2009, it was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.

It has not been adopted by the full Senate as of today.

The Senate Bill S.1194 does not include a section (unlike the House bill) that would create a nomination process for the Coast Guard Academy.
