efficiency. These improvements are consistent with existing facilities.

Apra Harbor will be funded through civilian agencies GBE 10 (Guam Buildup EIS, Final EIS, Guam and CNMI Military Relocation, VOLUME 2: MARINE CORPS
GUAM,http://www.guambuildupeis.us/documents/final/volume_2/Vol_02_Ch14_Marine_Transportation.pdf) Funding for the Ports improvements (modernization) and expansion is anticipated to come from various federal agencies, GovGuam, and private sources. The funds for capital improvements would likely be repaid through user fees that would then be passed on to consumers, businesses, and other entities (i.e., DoD). While DoD is not directing the Port improvements, an amendment to the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill is proposed in Congress which calls for the transfer of $50M of DoD FY10 funds to the Department of Transportation (DOT) to fund Phase I of the port improvements.
