Deauthorization of Water Resources Projects

AGENCY: 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(b)(2), Public Law 99-662, 33 U.S.C 579a(b)(2); projects removed 
from the deauthorization list due to obligations of funds, or 
continuation of authorization by law. In addition, the authorization of 
one water resource project expired, and two projects were specifically 
reauthorized by law.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Susan B. LeBleu, Headquarters, 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attention: CECW-BA, Washington, DC 20314-
1000. Tel. (202) 761-4094.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Water Resources Development Act of 1986, 
Public Law 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), Public Law 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 145 projects and separable 
elements to Congress on October 15, 1999 (1999 List). From this list, 
127 projects/separable elements were deauthorized on April 16, 2002, 16 
were removed due to obligations of funds, and the authorization of 2 
were continued by section 350 of the Water Resources Development Act of 
2000 (11 Dec 2000), Public Law 106-541, 114 Stat. 2632 and 2633.
    Additionally, two projects were reauthorized by section 349 of the 
Water Resources Development Act of 2000, Public Law 106-541, 114 Stat. 
2631 and 2632, subject to a Secretarial determination that no 
construction on any such project may be initiated until each project is 
technically sound, environmentally acceptable, and economically 
justified.

    Authority: This notice is required by the Water Resources 
Development Act of 1986, Public Law 99-662, section 1001(c), 33 
U.S.C. 579a(c), and the Water Resources Development Act of 1988, 
Public Law 100-676, section 52(d), 102 Stat. 4012, 4045.

    Dated: April 18, 2003.
George S. Dunlop,
Deputy Secretary of the Army (Policy and Legislation).
