Deauthorization of Water Resources Projects

AGENCY: Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of project deauthorizations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is publishing the names of 
water resources projects that have been automatically deauthorized 
under the provisions of Sec.  1001(b)(2), Public Law 99-662, as 
amended, 33 U.S.C 579a(b)(2).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Joseph W. Aldridge, Headquarters, 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attention: CECW-IP, Washington, DC 20314-
1000. Tel. (202) 761-4130 or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1001(b)(2) of the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1986, Public Law 99-662, 100 Stat. 4082-4273, as 
amended, provides for the automatic deauthorization of water resource 
projects and separable elements of projects that are eligible for 
deauthorization under that section.
    Section 1001(b)(2), 33 U.S.C. 579a(b)(2), requires the Secretary of 
the Army to annually submit to the Congress a list of unconstructed 
water resources projects and separable elements of projects for which 
no funds have been obligated for planning, design or construction 
during the preceding five full fiscal years. If no funds are obligated 
to a listed project by end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year 
in which the project was listed, then the project is automatically 
deauthorized. Notwithstanding these provisions, projects may be 
specifically deauthorized or reauthorized by law. (Note: The provision 
of Sec.  1001(b)(2) prior to the 2007 amendments apply to this action.)
    In accordance with section 1001(b)(2), in Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) submitted a list 
informing Congress of 11 projects and separable elements that would be 
subject to automatic deauthorization after September 30, 2011, and in 
FY 2011 submitted a list of 20 projects and separable elements that 
would be subject to automatic deauthorization after September 30, 2012, 
and in FY 2012 submitted a list of 2 projects and separable elements 
that would be subject to automatic deauthorization after September 30, 
2013. Of the 33 projects and separable elements included in these three 
lists, all 33 were in fact automatically deauthorized, in accordance 
with section 1001(b)(2). The following three tables indicate the 
disposition of each of the 33 listed projects.
