SEC. 101. FEDERAL BREAKWATERS AND JETTIES.

    (a) In General.--In carrying out repair or maintenance activity of 
a Federal jetty or breakwater associated with an authorized navigation 
project, the Secretary shall, notwithstanding the authorized dimensions 
of the jetty or breakwater, ensure that such repair or maintenance 
activity is sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such project, 
including ensuring that any harbor or inland harbor associated with the 
project is protected from projected changes in wave action or height 
(including changes that result from relative sea level change over the 
useful life of the project).
    (b) Classification of Activity.--The Secretary may not classify any 
repair or maintenance activity of a Federal jetty or breakwater carried 
out under subsection (a) as major rehabilitation of such jetty or 
breakwater--
            (1) if the Secretary determines that--
                    (A) projected changes in wave action or height, 
                including changes that result from relative sea level 
                change, will diminish the functionality of the jetty or 
                breakwater to meet the authorized purpose of the 
                project; and
                    (B) such repair or maintenance activity is 
                necessary to restore such functionality; or
            (2) if--
                    (A) the Secretary has not carried out regular and 
                routine Federal maintenance activity at the jetty or 
                breakwater; and
                    (B) the structural integrity of the jetty or 
                breakwater is degraded as a result of a lack of such 
                regular and routine Federal maintenance activity.

SEC. 102. EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO NATURAL DISASTERS.

    Section 5(a)(1) of the Act of August 18, 1941 (33 U.S.C.

the repair and restoration of any federally authorized hurricane or 
shore protective structure or project damaged or destroyed by wind, 
wave, or water action of other than an ordinary nature to the pre-storm 
level of protection, to the design level of protection, or, 
notwithstanding the authorized dimensions of the structure or project, 
to a level sufficient to meet the authorized purpose of such structure 
or project, whichever provides greater protection, when, in the 
discretion of the Chief of Engineers, such repair and restoration is 
warranted for the adequate functioning of the structure or project for 
hurricane or shore protection, including to ensure the structure or 
project is functioning adequately to protect against projected changes 
in wave action or height or storm surge (including changes that result 
from relative sea level change over the useful life of the structure or 
project), subject to the condition that the Chief of Engineers may 
include modifications to the structure or project to address major 
deficiencies or implement nonstructural alternatives to the repair or 
restoration of the structure if requested by the non-Federal 
sponsor.''.

                higher precipitation levels, including due to changing 
                climatic conditions and extreme weather events; and
                    (D) the potential costs and benefits (including
