Deauthorization of Water Resources Projects

AGENCY: Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of project deauthorizations.

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

SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is publishing the list of water 
resources projects deauthorized under the provisions of section 
1001(b)(2) of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Public Law 
99-662, as amended, (33 U.S.C 579a(b)(2)), and lists of projects 
removed from the deauthorization list due to obligations of funds, or 
deauthorized earlier.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers, Washington, DC 20314-1000, Attention: CECW-IN, Ms. Agnes W. 
Chen, Tel. (202) 761-4175.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    Section 1001(b)(2), 33 U.S.C. 579a(b)(2), requires the Secretary of 
the Army to submit to the Congress a biennial list of unconstructed 
water resources projects and separable elements of projects for which 
no obligations of funds have been incurred for planning, design or 
construction during the prior seven full fiscal years. If funds are not 
obligated within thirty months from the date the list was submitted, 
the project/separable elements are deauthorized. Notwithstanding these 
provisions, projects may be specifically deauthorized or reauthorized 
by law. (Note: The provision of section 1001(b)(2) prior to the 2007 
amendments apply to this action.)
    For purposes of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, 
``separable element'' is defined in section 103(f), Public Law 99-662, 
33 U.S.C. 2213(f).
    In accordance with section 1001(b)(2), the Assistant Secretary of 
the Army (Civil Works) submitted a list of 31 projects and separable 
elements to Congress on 29 September 2006. From this list, 27 projects/
separable elements were deauthorized on March 29, 2009, 2 were removed 
due to obligation of funds, and 2 were deauthorized on 02 April 2002 
and 01 May 1997 respectively.
