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.
Six additional projects were reauthorized by the Water Resources
Development Act of 1996, Secs. 328 and 363.
Authority: This notice is required by the Water Resources
Development Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-662, Sec. 1001(c), 33 U.S.C.
579a(c), and the Water Resources Development Act of 1988, Pub. L.
100-676, Sec. 52(d), 102 Stat. 4045.
