        interest with respect to the project and the private entity.
            (D) Federal share.--The Federal share of such fees shall be 
        equal to the percentage of the total cost that would otherwise 
        be borne by the Federal Government as required pursuant to

    enter into a contract for the maintenance and crewing of any 
    Federal hopper dredge retained in a ready reserve status. The 
    capital costs (including depreciation costs) of any dredge retained
