SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Water Resources Development Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-662, 100
Stat. 4082-4273, as amended, provides for the automatic deauthorization
of water resource projects and separable elements of projects.
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 for which
no obligations of funds have been incurred for planning, design or
construction during the prior seven 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 specifically deauthorized or reauthorized
by law.
For purposes of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986,
``separable element'' is defined in section 103(f), Pub. L. 99-662, 33
U.S.C. 2213(f).
In accordance with section 1001(b)(2), the Assistant Secretary of
the Army (Civil Works) submitted a list of 27 projects and separable
elements to Congress on October 31, 1994 (1994 List). From this list,
24 projects/separable elements were deauthorized on May 1, 1997, 2 were
removed due to obligations of funds, and 1 was reauthorized by section
328 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-303,
110 Stat. 3658, 3717.
Also in accordance with section 1001(b)(2), the Assistant Secretary
of the Army (Civil Works) submitted a list of 32 projects and separable
elements to Congress on October 4, 1996 (1996 List). From this list, 27
projects/separable elements were deauthorized on April 5, 1999; 2 were
removed due to obligations of funds; 2 were reauthorized by section 364
of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999, Pub. L. 106-53, 113
Stat. 269, 313, subject to a Secretarial determination (see explanation
below); and 1 was specifically deauthorized by section 361(b)(7) of the
Water Resources Development Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-303, 110 Stat.
3658, 3729.
Six projects were reauthorized by section 364 of Pub. L. 106-53,
subject to a Secretarial determination that each project is technically
sound, environmentally acceptable, and economically justified. Two of
these projects were on the 1996 List, as stated above, and one, Indian
River County, FL, was never deauthorized.
Four projects reauthorized by section 115(a) of the Water Resources
Development Act of 1992, Pub. L. 102-580, 106 Stat. 4797, 4821, were
subsequently deauthorized on November 1, 1997, under the provisions of
section 115(b).
The Federal Register notice of December 15, 1992, erroneously
listed the Waikiki Beach, Oahu, HI, beach erosion control project as
deauthorized. Since planning funds were obligated in fiscal year 1991,
the project should have been removed from the list.
Authority: This notice is required by the Water Resources
Development Act of 1986, Pub. L. 99-662, section 1001(c), 33 U.S.C.
579a(c), and the Water Resources Development Act of 1988, Pub. L.
100-676, section 52(d), 102 Stat. 4012, 4045.
Dated: September 27, 1999.
Approved:
Joseph W. Westphal,
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works).
