    Subtitle A--General Provisions

    SEC. 1101. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT
    BILLS.

    It is the sense of Congress that, because the missions of the Corps
    of Engineers for navigation, flood control, beach erosion control and
    shoreline protection, hydroelectric power, recreation, water supply,
    environmental protection, restoration, and enhancement, and fish and
    wildlife mitigation benefit all Americans, and because water resources
    development projects are critical to maintaining the country's economic
    prosperity, national security, and environmental protection, Congress
    should consider a water resources development bill not less often than
    once every Congress.
    SEC. 1102. STUDY OF THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF
    ENGINEERS.

    Government in setting and applying discount rates for benefit-
    cost analyses used in the formulation, evaluation, and budgeting
    of Corps of Engineers water resources development projects;
    (6) an analysis of whether or not the Corps of Engineers--
    (A) considers cumulative benefits of locally
    developed projects, including Master Plans approved by
    the Corps; and
    (B) uses the benefits referred to in subparagraph
    (A) for purposes of benefit-cost analysis for project
    justification for potential projects within such Master
    Plans; and

    days after the completion of the study--
    (1) <>  submit a report
    containing the results of the study and the recommendations to
    the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and
    the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House
    of Representatives; and
    (2) <>  make a copy of such report
    available on a publicly accessible website.
    SEC. 1104. <>  DISSEMINATION OF
    INFORMATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
    (1) Congress plays a central role in identifying,
    prioritizing, and authorizing vital water resources
    infrastructure activities throughout the United States.
    (2) The Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014
    (Public Law 113-121) established a new and transparent process
    to review and prioritize the water resources development
    activities of the Corps of Engineers with strong congressional
    oversight.
    (3) Section 7001 of the Water Resources Reform and
    Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d) requires the Secretary
    to develop and submit to Congress each year a Report to Congress
    on Future Water Resources Development and, as part of the annual
    report process, to--
    (A) publish a notice in the Federal Register that
    requests from non-Federal interests proposed feasibility
    studies and proposed modifications to authorized water
    resources development projects and feasibility studies
    for inclusion in the report; and
    (B) review the proposals submitted and include in
    the report those proposed feasibility studies and
    proposed modifications that meet the criteria for
    inclusion established under such section 7001.
    (4) Congress will use the information provided in the annual
    Report to Congress on Future Water Resources Development to
    determine authorization needs and priorities for purposes of
    water resources development legislation.
    (5) To ensure that Congress can gain a thorough
    understanding of the water resources development needs and
    priorities of the United States, it is important that the
    Secretary take sufficient steps to ensure that non-Federal
    interests are made aware of the new annual report process,
    including the need for non-Federal interests to submit proposals
    during the Secretary's annual request for proposals in order for
    such proposals to be eligible for consideration by Congress.

    (b) Dissemination of Process Information.--The Secretary shall
    develop, support, and implement education and awareness efforts for non-
    Federal interests with respect to the annual Report to Congress on
    Future Water Resources Development required under section 7001 of the
    Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2282d),
    including efforts to--

    [[Page 3772]]

    (1) develop and disseminate technical assistance materials,
    seminars, and guidance on the annual process as it relates to
    non-Federal interests;
