Organization and Employees. Subsequently, the functions of the Secretary
of the Treasury relating to the Coast Guard were transferred to the

section 108 of Title 49, Transportation.
For transfer of authorities, functions, personnel, and assets of the
Coast Guard, including the authorities and functions of the Secretary of
Transportation relating thereto, to the Department of Homeland Security,
and for treatment of related references, see sections 468(b), 551(d),
