authorities provided by Congress to address varying water
resources challenges;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (4) solutions considered in studies of the Corps
of Engineers should address the unique water resources needs of
the community;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (5) the level of design maturity required to
provide an accurate cost estimate varies by solution;</DELETED>
<DELETED> (6) the Corps of Engineers should provide more
transparency into the level of confidence and contingencies for
any cost estimate;</DELETED>

in identifying and evaluating comprehensive solutions to water
resources problems;
(2) the Corps of Engineers has made significant efforts in
recent years to address concerns over the inaccuracy of costs
estimates contained in reports of the Corps of Engineers to
authorize water resources development projects;
(3) the Corps of Engineers has numerous authorities
provided by Congress to address varying water resources
challenges;
(4) solutions considered in studies of the Corps of
Engineers should address the unique water resources needs of
the community;
(5) the level of design maturity required to provide an
accurate cost estimate varies by solution;
(6) the Corps of Engineers should provide more transparency
into the level of confidence and contingencies for any cost
estimate;
(7) requiring advanced levels of design maturity for all
solutions during the feasibility study phase may--
(A) substantially increase the costs and duration
of a study;
(B) limit the ability of the Corps of Engineers to
identify the optimal solution to the water resources
problem; and
(C) limit the resources available to formulate,
refine, and evaluate solutions; and
(8) detailed engineering and design activities carried out
by the Corps of Engineers that are beyond those activities
necessary to support informed decisionmaking by the Corps of
Engineers are generally more appropriately conducted during
preconstruction planning, engineering, and design activities
for an authorized water resources development project.
(b) Design Maturity.--For a recommended project included in a
report of the Chief of Engineers to Congress pursuant to section 2033
of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007 (33 U.S.C. 2282a), the
Secretary may not require a 35 percent or greater level of design
maturity for the project if a lesser level of design maturity is
sufficient to prepare a class III cost estimate (as such term is
described in Engineer Regulation 1110-2-1302 of the Corps of Engineers
entitled ``Civil Works Cost Engineering'' (June 30, 2016)) for the
project.
(c) Documentation.--In any report of the Chief of Engineers that is
submitted to Congress pursuant to section 2033 of the Water Resources
Development Act of 2007 (33 U.S.C. 2282a), the Secretary shall, to the
maximum extent practicable, include for the project recommended in that
report a description of--
(1) the level of design maturity;
(2) the contingency percentage of the cost estimate; and
(3) any unknowns and associated risks, including--
(A) the quality of the geotechnical data and
associated risks;
(B) the type of hydrology and hydraulics model
used, the quality of the modeled data, and associated
risks; and
(C) the quality of the survey data and associated
risks.
(d) Preconstruction Planning, Engineering and Design.--
(1) Definitions.--In this subsection:
(A) Preconstruction planning, engineering, and
design activities.--The term ``preconstruction
planning, engineering, and design activities'' means 1
or more activities necessary for conducting surveys and
detailed studies, and plans and specifications for a
proposed project, prior to the initiation of
construction activities.
(B) Proposed project.--The term ``proposed
project'' means a water resources development project
proposed in a feasibility study prepared by the Corps
of Engineers in accordance with section 905(a) of the
Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C.
2282(a)) and submitted to the Committee on Environment
and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of
Representatives for the purposes of Congressional
authorization.
(2) Authorization.--After the submission of a feasibility
report in accordance with section 905(a) of the Water Resources

carry out preconstruction planning, engineering, and design
activities for a proposed project with funds made available to
the Secretary for such activities.
(3) Updated project costs.--If the Secretary uses the
authority provided in paragraph (2) for a proposed project, the
Secretary shall--
(A) establish milestones at intervals of not less
than every 180 days for any activities for the proposed
project carried out pursuant to that paragraph; and
(B) following the completion of those milestones,
submit to the Committees on Environment and Public
Works and Appropriations of the Senate and the
Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure and
Appropriations of the House of Representatives any
updated estimated total project costs for the proposed
project.
(4) Establishment of account.--The Secretary, in
consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget, shall establish a separate appropriations account for
administering funds made available to carry out this
subsection.
(5) Limitation.--Nothing in this subsection--
(A) allows the Secretary to initiate construction
of a proposed project without specific authorization of
that proposed project by Congress; or
(B) waives the requirements of the Secretary under
section 902 of the Water Resources Development Act of
1986 (33 U.S.C. 2280).
