    (a) Under such regulations as the Secretary of the Navy prescribes, 
public quarters including heat, light, water, and refrigeration may be 
furnished for personnel in the following categories who are on active 
duty:

        (2) Members of the Coast Guard when it is operating as a service 
    in the Navy.
        (3) Members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
    Administration serving with the Navy.

If public quarters are not available for any such member, the Secretary 
may provide lodging accommodations for him. Lodging accommodations so 
provided may not be occupied by the member's dependents.
    (b) The Secretary may determine in any case whether public quarters 
are available within the meaning of any provision of law relating to the 
assignment of or commutation for public quarters.
    (c) The Secretary, to the extent he considers proper, may delegate 
the authority conferred by subsection (a), except the authority to 
prescribe regulations, to any person in the Department of the Navy, with 
or without authority to make successive redelegations.

    In subsection (a) the words ``including members of the Nurse Corps'' 
are omitted as surplusage, and the definition of ``naval personnel'' in 
5 U.S.C. 421g, which is applicable to this subsection, is executed.
    In subsection (b) the words ``in any case whether public quarters 
are available'' are substituted for the words ``where and when there are 
no public quarters''. The words ``for persons in the Navy and Marine 
Corps, or serving therewith'' are omitted, since these classes of 
personnel for whom the Secretary makes the determination of availability 
are the same as those who may be furnished quarters under subsection 
(a).
