To amend title 46, United States Code, to include the replacement or purchase of additional cargo handling equipment as an eligible purpose for Capital Construction Funds, and for other purposes.

This bill amends Title 46, United States Code, to broaden the eligible uses of Capital Construction Funds (CCF) by allowing operators of United States marine terminals to establish these funds. The primary purpose is to permit CCF to be used for the acquisition, replacement, or reconstruction of **cargo handling equipment** at these terminals, thereby encouraging investment in port infrastructure. The legislation defines eligible **cargo handling equipment** with a preference for U.S.-manufactured goods, though foreign equipment is allowed if domestic options are insufficient. Significantly, it prohibits CCF withdrawals for **fully automated cargo handling equipment** that would result in a net loss of jobs at a marine terminal. Furthermore, it explicitly bans the use of CCF for purchasing **cranes manufactured in the People's Republic of China**. To promote domestic sourcing, the bill requires the Secretary to annually publish information on the availability of U.S.-manufactured cargo handling equipment and share these findings with CCF holders. This measure aims to modernize U.S. port operations while supporting American manufacturing and addressing national security concerns related to foreign equipment.
