``(f) Selection of Dredged Material Disposal Method.--In developing
and carrying out a project for navigation involving the disposal of
dredged material, the Secretary may select, with the consent of the

Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
(b) Policy.--The benefits of water resources projects are important
to the nation's economy and recommendations to Congress regarding such
projects should not be delayed due to uncoordinated and sequential
environmental reviews or the failure to timely resolve disputes during
the development of water resources projects.
(c) Duty of the Secretary.--To carry out the policy in subsection
(b), the Secretary shall use all authorities available under law to
coordinate and expedite the environmental reviews of a project that is
subject to a study to which this subsection applies and to ensure
timely resolution of disputes.
(d) Authorities.--The authorities referred to in subsection (c)
include all authorities available to the Army Corps of Engineers as the
lead Federal agency responsible for preparing an environmental impact
statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 for a
proposed water resources project, including authorities that provide
for--
(1) identifying Federal, State, and local agencies and
Indian tribes with jurisdiction over the project by law;
(2) inviting jurisdictional agencies and Indian tribes to
be cooperating agencies;
(3) establishing and implementing a schedule for completing
all reviews, analyses, and opinions, and any permits, licenses
or approvals;
(4) entering into a memorandum of understanding with
cooperating agencies;
(5) specifying the purpose of and need for the project;
(6) determining which alternatives are reasonable and
should be carried forward for detailed analysis;
(7) eliminating duplication with other Federal, State,
local, and Tribal requirements; and
(8) ensuring early resolution of disputes.
(e) Identification of Jurisdictional Agencies.-- The Secretary
shall determine, as soon as practicable, which Federal, State, and
local agencies and Indian tribes may reasonably be expected to have
jurisdiction over environmental-related matters that may be affected by
a proposed water resources project that is subject to a study to which
this section applies or may be required by law to conduct an
environmental-related review or analysis of, or opinion on, the project
or determine whether to issue an environmental-related permit, license,
or approval for the project.

identified under subsection (e) with respect to a study to be
cooperating agencies in the NEPA process for the study. Upon receipt of

local agency or an Indian tribe may be a cooperating agency in the NEPA
process for the study to the extent permitted by State, local, or
Tribal law.

NEPA process for a study, the Secretary shall establish a schedule for
completing the study and its associated NEPA process, including any
related permits, approvals, opinions, reviews, or studies required for
the proposed water resources project under other Federal, State, local,
and Tribal laws. The study schedule shall include opportunities for
comment and deadlines for cooperating agencies and shall not reduce any
period of time or opportunity for comment established by law.
(h) Effect of Failure To Meet Deadlines.--
(1) Notice.--If the Secretary determines that a cooperating
agency has not met a deadline established under subsection (i)
or is not otherwise meeting its responsibility as a cooperating
agency, the Secretary shall notify, within 30 days of the date
of such determination, the head of the Federal or Tribal agency
or, in any case in which the cooperating agency is a State
agency or local agency of a State, the Governor of the State.
(2) Agency report.--Not later than 30 days after date of
receipt of a notice under paragraph (1), the cooperating agency
shall submit a report to the Secretary explaining the reasons
for delay or lack of cooperation and what remedial actions the
agency intends to take with respect to the delay or lack of
cooperation.
(3) Notification of ceq and committees.-- If the Secretary
determines that a cooperating agency has not satisfactorily
addressed the problems that are the subject of a notification
under paragraph (1) within a reasonable period of time
following the date of the notification, the Secretary shall
notify the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of
the House of Representatives, the Committee on Environment and
Public Works of the Senate, and the Council on Environmental
Quality.
(4) Record closure.--At the completion of all comment
periods established by law and under subsection (g) with
respect to a study and its associated NEPA process, the
Secretary shall close the record for the study. Information
submitted, after the record has closed, by a cooperating agency
that does not provide comment during any comment period and
that otherwise fails to meet its responsibilities as a
cooperating agency shall not be considered significant new
information for purposes of the study and NEPA process.
(i) Memorandum of Understanding.--The Secretary and cooperating
agencies with respect to a study and its associated NEPA process shall

this subsection applies and its associated NEPA process, the
Secretary may eliminate from consideration any alternatives the
Secretary determines are not reasonable or are not reasonably
anticipated to meet project purposes and needs.
(k) Single Environmental Review Process.--
(1) Record.--To eliminate duplication with other Federal,
State, local and tribal requirements, the NEPA process and the
environmental impact statement and study report for a proposed
water resources project prepared by the Secretary shall form
the record and basis for all environmental-related reviews or
analyses of, or opinions on, the project or determinations
whether to issue an environmental-related permit, license, or
approval for the project of all cooperating agencies, to the
extent permitted by law.
(2) Binding effect.--
(A) In general.--For any environmental review,
analysis, opinion, permit, license, or approval that
must be issued or made by a cooperating agency and that
requires an analysis of purpose and need for the
project or consideration of alternatives, the
cooperating agency, notwithstanding any other provision
of law, shall be bound by the project purpose and need
as defined by the Secretary and shall consider only
those alternatives to the project that the Secretary
has determined are reasonable.
(B) Limitation on statutory construction.--This
paragraph shall not be construed as affecting a
cooperating agency's ability to submit comments in the
NEPA process referred to in paragraph (1).
(l) Limitations on Actions and Venue.--A claim arising under
Federal law seeking judicial review of a final feasibility report,
general reevaluation report, or record of decision for a water
resources project to be carried out by the Secretary shall be barred
unless it is filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit or in the court of appeals of the United
States for the circuit in which the project is located, within 90 days
after the report or record of decision is final. Nothing in this
subsection shall create a right to judicial review.
(m) Benchmarks.--Within 12 months of the date of enactment of this
Act, the Chief of Engineers shall establish benchmarks for determining
the length of time it should take to conduct a feasibility study for a
water resources development project and its associated NEPA process.
Benchmarks may be established for activities based on size, cost, and
complexity. The Chief of Engineers shall use such benchmarks as a
management tool to make the feasibility study process more efficient at
all districts of the Army Corps of Engineers.
(n) NEPA Process Defined.--In this section, the term ``NEPA
process'' means the process for meeting the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
