                efficient environmental reviews and cooperative efforts

                Secretary to expedite the environmental review process 
                for water resources projects;

                applicable to reduce the need for project-by-project 
                reviews and decisions by Federal agencies;
                    (E) the Secretary shall identify opportunities for 
                non-Federal sponsors to assume responsibilities of the 
                Secretary if such responsibilities can be assumed in a 
                manner that protects public health and safety, the
