            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

                (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                        (A) there are significant concerns about whether--
                                (i) the indemnification clause, which was
                            first applied in 1910 to flood control
                            projects, should still be included in project
                            partnership agreements prepared by the Corps of
                            Engineers for water resources development
                            projects; and
                                (ii) non-Federal interests for water
                            resources development projects should be
                            required to assume full responsibility for
                            OMRR&R of water resources development projects
                            in perpetuity;
                        (B) non-Federal interests have reported that the
                    indemnification clause and OMRR&R requirements are a
                    barrier to entering into project partnership agreements
                    with the Corps of Engineers;
                        (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
                        (D) legal structures have changed since the
                    indemnification clause was first applied and there may
                    be more suitable tools available to address risk and
                    liability issues.
                (3) Analysis.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
            enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall conduct an
            analysis of the implications of--
                        (A) the indemnification clause; and
                        (B) the assumption of OMRR&R responsibilities by
                    non-Federal interests in perpetuity for water resources
                    development projects.
                (4) Inclusions.--The analysis under paragraph (3) shall
            include--
                        (A) a review of risk for the Federal Government and
                    non-Federal interests with respect to removing
                    requirements for the indemnification clause;
                        (B) an assessment of whether the indemnification
                    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
                    and OMRR&R requirements in projects, if applicable;
                        (E) a review of indemnification and OMRR&R
                    requirements for projects that States require with
                    respect to agreements with cities and localities, if
                    applicable;
                        (F) an analysis of the useful lifespan of water
                    resources development projects, including any
                    variations in that lifespan for different types of
                    water resources development projects and how changing
                    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;
