    studies for projects that serve a covered community, the Secretary shall
    select 10 such studies and include in those studies the calculation of
    an alternative benefit-cost ratio for the project in order to equitably

                (1) compute the benefit-cost ratio for the project in
            accordance with current law and guidance;
                (2) if different from the ratio described in paragraph (1),
            compute an alternative benefit-cost ratio by adjusting the
            construction costs for the project to reflect what construction
            costs would be if the project were carried out in a comparable
            community in the contiguous States that is nearest to the
            community in which the project will be carried out;
                (3) include in the documentation associated with the
            feasibility study for the project the ratios calculated under
            paragraph (1) and paragraph (2); and

            under paragraph (2) to the standard benefit-cost ratios
            calculated for each project alternative.

        (c) Notification.--
                (1) In general.--If the tentatively selected plan for a
            project yields a benefit-cost ratio less than unity for the
            project and results in the discontinuation of the project, the
            Secretary shall provide written notice to the Committee on
            Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of
            Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public
            Works of the Senate.

    the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Transportation and
    Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the Committee on
    Environment and Public Works of the Senate a report that summarizes for
    each project the comparisons of the benefit-cost ratios described in

    community'' means a community located in the State of Hawaii, the State
    of Alaska, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of

        (b) Report on Project Lifespan and Indemnification Clause in Project
    Partnership Agreements.--
                (1) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                        (A) there are significant concerns about whether--
                              (i) the indemnification clause, which was
                          first applied in 1910 to flood control projects,
                          should still be included in project partnership
                          agreements prepared by the Corps of Engineers for
                          water resources development projects; and
                              (ii) non-Federal interests for water resources
                          development projects should be required to assume
                          full responsibility for OMRR&R of water resources
                          development projects in perpetuity;
                        (B) non-Federal interests have reported that the
                    indemnification clause and OMRR&R requirements are a
                    barrier to entering into project partnership agreements
                    with the Corps of Engineers;
                        (C) critical water resources development projects
                    are being delayed by years, or not pursued at all, due
                    to the barriers described in subparagraph (B); and
                        (D) legal structures have changed since the
                    indemnification clause was first applied and there may
                    be more suitable tools available to address risk and
                    liability issues.
                (2) Analysis.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
            enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall conduct an
            analysis of the implications of--
                        (A) the indemnification clause; and
                        (B) the assumption of OMRR&R responsibilities by
                    non-Federal interests in perpetuity for water resources
                    development projects.
                (3) <<NOTE: Reviews.>> Inclusions.--The analysis under
            paragraph (2) shall include--
                        (A) a review of risk for the Federal Government and
                    non-Federal interests with respect to removing
                    requirements for the indemnification clause;
                        (B) <<NOTE: Assessment.>> an assessment of whether
                    the indemnification clause is still necessary given the
                    changes in engineering, legal structures, and water
                    resources development projects since 1910, with a focus
                    on the quantity and types of claims and takings over
                    time;
                        (C) an identification of States with State laws that
                    prohibit those States from entering into agreements that
                    include an indemnification clause;
                        (D) a comparison to other Federal agencies with
                    respect to how those agencies approach indemnification
                    and OMRR&R requirements in projects, if applicable;

    [[Page 138 STAT. 3094]]

                        (E) a review of indemnification and OMRR&R
                    requirements for projects that States require with
                    respect to agreements with cities and localities, if
                    applicable;
                        (F) <<NOTE: Analysis.>> an analysis of the useful
                    lifespan of water resources development projects,
                    including any variations in that lifespan for different
                    types of water resources development projects and how
                    changing weather patterns and increased extreme weather
                    events impact that lifespan;
                        (G) a review of situations in which non-Federal
                    interests have been unable to meet OMRR&R requirements;
                    and
                        (H) a review of policy alternatives to OMRR&R
                    requirements, such as allowing extension, reevaluation,
                    or deauthorization of water resources development
                    projects.
                (4) Report.--On completion of the analysis under paragraph
            (2), the Comptroller General shall submit to the Committee on
            Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on
            Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of
            Representatives a report that includes--
                        (A) the results of the analysis; and
                        (B) <<NOTE: Recommenda- tions. Policies.>> any
                    recommendations for changes needed to existing law or
                    policy of the Corps of Engineers to address those
