[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 244 (Wednesday, December 18, 1996)] [Notices] [Pages 66654-66656] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-31998] [[Page 66654]] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Deauthorization of Water Resources Projects AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. ACTION: Notice of project deauthorizations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is publishing the lists of water resources projects deauthorized under the provisions of Sec. 1001 (a) and (b), Pub. L. 99-662, 33 U.S.C 579a; projects not deauthorized due to obligations of funds; and project reauthorizations. Previous Federal Register notices were published on October 5, 1990 (Vol. 55, No. 194, 40906-40912), December 15, 1992 (Vol. 57, No. 241, 59335-59337), and September 9, 1994 (Vol. 59, No. 174, 46624-46625). While Sec. 228 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-303, which became law on October 12, 1996, changes some provisions of Sec. 1001, Pub. L. 99-662, the deauthorizations in this notice were effective before it became law. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John A. Micik, Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attention: CECW-BA, Washington, D.C. 20314- 1000. Tel. (202) 761-0705. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-662 contains two provisions for the deauthorization of water resource projects and separable elements of projects. Section 1001(a), 33 U.S.C. 579a(a), requires the deauthorization of projects authorized in 1986 and thereafter when five years have elapsed from the date of authorization without obligations of funds for planning, design or construction. Section 1001(b)(2), 33 U.S.C. 579a(b)(2), requires the Secretary of the Army to submit to the Congress a biennial list of unconstructed water resources projects and separable elements of projects which have had no obligations of funds for planning, design or construction during the prior ten full fiscal years. If funds are not obligated within thirty months from the date the list was submitted, the project/separable element is deauthorized. Notwithstanding these provisions, projects may be reauthorized by law. For purposes of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, ``separable element'' is defined in Sec. 103(f), Pub. L. 99-662, 33 U.S.C. 2213(f). In accordance with Sec. 1001(a), an additional project authorized in 1986 was deauthorized on November 18, 1991. See the Federal Register notices of December 15, 1992, and September 9, 1994, for the lists of other projects deauthorized on November 18, 1991, in accordance with Sec. 1001(a). Also in accordance with Sec. 1001(a), 3 projects authorized and 8 projects reauthorized in 1990 were deauthorized on November 29, 1995, and 1 project reauthorized in 1991 was deauthorized on August 18, 1996. In accordance with Sec. 1001(b)(2), the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) submitted a list of 35 projects and separable elements to Congress on January 8, 1993. From this list, 29 projects/ separable elements were deauthorized on July 9, 1995, 4 were removed due to obligations of funds, and 2 were reauthorized by Sec. 363 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996.
