              FACILITIES.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Corps of Engineers should have greater access to 
        the revenue collected from the use of Corps of Engineers-
        managed facilities with recreational purposes;
            (2) revenue collected from Corps of Engineers-managed 
        facilities with recreational purposes should be available to 
        the Corps of Engineers for necessary operation, maintenance, 
        and improvement activities at the facility from which the 
        revenue was derived;
            (3) the districts of the Corps of Engineers should be 
        provided with more authority to partner with non-Federal public 
        entities and private nonprofit entities for the improvement and 
        management of Corps of Engineers-managed facilities with 
        recreational purposes; and
            (4) legislation to address the issues described in 
        paragraphs (1) through (3) should be considered by Congress.

                    (C) critical water resources development projects 
                are being delayed by years, or not pursued at all, due 
                to the barriers described in subparagraph (B); and

                clause is still necessary given the changes in 
                engineering, legal structures, and water resources 
                development projects since 1910, with a focus on the 
                quantity and types of claims and takings over time;
                    (C) an identification of States with State laws 
                that prohibit those States from entering into 
                agreements that include an indemnification clause;
                    (D) a comparison to other Federal agencies with 
                respect to how those agencies approach indemnification

                weather patterns and increased extreme weather events 
                impact that lifespan;
                    (G) a review of situations in which non-Federal 
                interests have been unable to meet OMRR&R requirements; 
                and

Stat. 2724) is amended--
            (1) by redesignating paragraph (4) as paragraph (5); and

SEC. 361. FLEXIBILITIES FOR CERTAIN HURRICANE AND STORM DAMAGE RISK 
              REDUCTION PROJECTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the Corps of Engineers incorrectly applied the 
        nationwide statutory requirements and the policies of the 
        agency related to easements for communities within the 
        boundaries of the Jacksonville District;
            (2) this incorrect application created inconsistencies, 
        confusion, and challenges with carrying out 18 critical 
        hurricane and storm damage risk reduction projects in Florida, 
        and in order to remedy the situation, the Assistant Secretary 
        of the Army for Civil Works issued a memorandum that provided 
        flexibilities for the easements of those projects; and
            (3) those projects need additional assistance going 
        forward, and as such, this section provides additional 
        flexibilities and allows the projects to transition, on the 
        date of their expiration, to the nationwide policies and 
        statutory requirements for easements of the Corps of Engineers.
    (b) Flexibilities Provided.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
law, but maintaining any existing easement agreement or executed 
project partnership agreement for a project described in subsection 
(c), the Secretary may proceed to construction of a project described 
in that subsection with an easement of not less than 25 years, in lieu 
of the perpetual beach storm damage reduction easement standard estate 
if--
            (1) the project complies with all other applicable laws and 
        Corps of Engineers policies during the term of the easement, 
        including the guarantee of a public beach, public access, 
        public use, and access for any work necessary and incident to 
        the construction of the project, periodic nourishment, and 
        operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and rehabilitation 
        of the project; and
            (2) the non-Federal interest agrees to pay the costs of 
        acquiring easements for periodic nourishment of the project 
        after the expiration of the initial easements, for which the 
        non-Federal interest may not receive credit toward the non-
        Federal share of the costs of the project.
    (c) Projects Described.--A project referred to in subsection (b) is 
any of the following projects for hurricane and storm damage risk 
reduction:
            (1) Brevard County, Canaveral Harbor, Florida - North 
        Reach.
            (2) Brevard County, Canaveral Harbor, Florida - South

            (10) Palm Beach County, Florida - Mid Town.
            (11) Palm Beach County, Florida - Ocean Ridge.
            (12) Pinellas County, Florida - Long Key.

            (17) St. Johns County, Florida - Vilano Segment.
            (18) St. Lucie County, Florida - Hutchinson Island.
    (d) Prohibition.--The Secretary shall not carry out an additional 
economic justification for a project described in subsection (c) on the 
basis that the project has easements for a period of less than 50 years 
pursuant to this section.
    (e) Written Notice.--Not less than 5 years before the date of 
expiration of an easement for a project described in subsection (c), 
the Secretary shall provide to the non-Federal interest for the project 
written notice that if the easement expires and is not extended under 
subsection (f)--
            (1) the Secretary will not be able--
                    (A) to renourish the project under the existing 
                project authorization; or
                    (B) to restore the project to pre-storm conditions 
                under section 5 of the Act of August 18, 1941 (commonly 
                known as the ``Flood Control Act of 1941'') (55 Stat. 
                650, chapter 377; 33 U.S.C. 701n); and
            (2) the non-Federal interest or the applicable State will 
        have the responsibility to renourish or restore the project.
    (f) Extension.--With respect to a project described in subsection 
(c), before the expiration of an easement that has a term of less than 
50 years and is subject to subsection (b), the Secretary may allow the 
non-Federal interest for the project to extend the easement, subject to 
the condition that the easement and any extensions do not exceed 50 
years in total.
    (g) Temporary Easements.--In the case of a project described in 
subsection (c) that received funding under section 5 of the Act of 
August 18, 1941 (commonly known as the ``Flood Control Act of 1941'') 
(55 Stat. 650, chapter 377; 33 U.S.C. 701n), made available by a 
supplemental appropriations Act, or is eligible to receive such funding 
as a result of storm damage incurred during fiscal year 2022, 2023, 
2024, 2025, or 2026, the project may use 1 or more temporary easements, 
subject to the conditions that--
            (1) the easement lasts for the duration of the applicable 
        renourishment agreement; and
            (2) the work shall be carried out by not later than 2 years 
        after the date of enactment of this Act.
    (h) Termination.--The authority provided under this section shall 
terminate, with respect to a project described in subsection (c), on 
the date on which the operations and maintenance activities for that 
project expire.
