                      TITLE I--GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 101. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Corps of Engineers constructs projects for the 
        purposes of navigation, flood control, beach erosion control 
        and shoreline protection, hydroelectric power, recreation, 
        water supply, environmental protection, restoration, and 
        enhancement, and fish and wildlife mitigation.
            (2) The Corps of Engineers is the primary Federal provider 
        of outdoor recreation in the United States.
            (3) The Corps of Engineers owns and operates more than 600 
        dams.
            (4) The Corps of Engineers operates and maintains 12,000 
        miles of commercial inland navigation channels.
            (5) The Corps of Engineers dredges more than 200,000,000 
        cubic yards of construction and maintenance dredge material 
        annually.
            (6) The Corps of Engineers maintains 926 coastal, Great 
        Lakes, and inland harbors.
            (7) The Corps of Engineers restores, creates, enhances, or 
        preserves tens of thousands of acres of wetlands annually under 
        the Corps' Regulatory Program.
            (8) The Corps of Engineers provides a total water supply 
        storage capacity of 329,200,000 acre-feet in major Corps lakes.
            (9) The Corps of Engineers owns and operates 24 percent of 
        United States hydropower capacity or 3 percent of the total 
        electric capacity of the United States.
            (10) The Corps of Engineers supports Army and Air Force 
        installations.
            (11) The Corps of Engineers provides technical and 
        construction support to more than 100 countries.
            (12) The Corps of Engineers manages an Army military 
        construction program that carried out approximately 
        $44,600,000,000 in construction projects (the largest 
        construction effort since World War II) between 2006 and 2013.
            (13) The Corps of Engineers researches and develops 
        technologies to protect the environment and enhance quality of 
        life in the United States.
            (14) The legislation for authorizing Corps of Engineers 
        projects is the Water Resources Development Act and, between 
        1986 and 2000, Congress typically enacted an authorization bill 
        every 2 years.
            (15) Since 2000, only 3 Water Resources Development Acts 
        have been enacted.
            (16) In 2014, the Water Resources Reform and Development 
        Act of 2014 was enacted, which accelerated the infrastructure 
        project delivery process, fostered fiscal responsibility, and 
        strengthened water transportation networks to promote the 
        competitiveness, prosperity, and economic growth of the United 
        States.
            (17) Section 1001 of the Water Resources Reform and 
        Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282c) requires typical 
        Corps of Engineers project feasibility studies to be completed 
        in 3 years.
            (18) Section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and 
        Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d) requires the Corps of 
        Engineers to submit annually a Report to Congress on Future 
        Water Resources Development, which ensures projects and 
        activities proposed at the local, regional, and State levels 
        are considered for authorization.
            (19) Passing Water Resources Development Acts on a routine 
        basis enables Congress to exercise oversight, ensures the Corps 
        of Engineers maintains an appropriately sized portfolio, 
        prevents project backlog, and keeps United States 
        infrastructure competitive.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the missions of the Corps of Engineers are a unique 
        function that benefits all Americans;
            (2) water resources development projects are critical to 
        maintaining economic prosperity, national security, and 
        environmental protection;
            (3) Congress has required timely delivery of project and 
        study authorization proposals from non-Federal project sponsors 
        and the Corps of Engineers; and
            (4) Congress should consider a Water Resources Development 
        Act at least once every Congress.

                    (C) an authorizing purpose that is no longer 
                relevant or feasible;
            (2) to create an expedited and definitive process for 
        Congress to deauthorize water resources development projects 
        that are no longer viable for construction; and
            (3) to allow the continued authorization of water resources

                        projects for inclusion on the proposed final 
                        deauthorization list according to the order in 
                        which the projects and separable elements of 
                        the projects were authorized, beginning with 
                        the earliest authorized projects and separable

                        project or separable element of a project is 
                        critical for interests of the United States, 
                        based on the possible impact of the project or 
                        separable element of the project on public 
                        health and safety, the national economy, or the
