Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it
is not operating as a service in the Navy, an enlisted member who is
assigned to a high priority unit of the Selected Reserve of the Ready
Reserve of an armed force, as designated under subsection (b), and who
performs inactive duty for training for compensation under section 206
of this title with such unit may be paid compensation, in addition to
the compensation to which the member is otherwise entitled, in an amount
not to exceed $10 for each regular period of instruction, or period of
appropriate duty, at which the member is engaged for at least four
hours, including any such instruction or duty performed on a Sunday or
holiday.
(b) The Secretary concerned may designate a unit, for the purposes
of subsection (a) and under such terms and conditions as the Secretary

personnel shortages. The Secretary may vacate a designation made under
this subsection at any time he considers the designation no longer
necessary.
