2021 and ending September 30, 2022, for energy and water development, and for other related purposes. It supplies funds for water resources development programs and related activities of the Corps of Engineers' civil works program in title I; for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and Central Utah Project in title II; for the Department of Energy's energy research and development activities, including environmental restoration and waste management, and the atomic energy defense activities of the National Nuclear Security Administration in title III; and for independent agencies and commissions, including the Appalachian Regional Commission, Delta Regional Authority, Denali Commission, Northern Border Regional Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in title IV. SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES AND RECOMMENDATIONS The fiscal year 2022 budget estimates for the bill total $53,624,824,000 in new budget (obligational) authority. The recommendation of the Committee totals $53,625,000,000. This is $176,000 above the budget estimates and $1,873,000,000 above the enacted appropriation for the prior fiscal year. The bill also recommends $450,000,000 in emergency appropriations. Subcommittee Hearings To develop this recommendation, the Committee held two budget hearings in June 2021 in connection with the fiscal year 2022 budget requests. The hearings provided officials from the agencies with an opportunity to present the administration's most pressing priorities to the Committee. INTRODUCTION The Committee's recommendation includes funding for the highest priority activities across the agencies funded in the bill. The recommendation includes funds for critical water infrastructure, including our Nation's inland waterways, ports, and harbors; agricultural water supply and drought relief in the West; groundbreaking scientific research and development, including world-class supercomputing; support for the Nation's nuclear weapons, non-proliferation, and nuclear Navy programs; and critical economic development. TITLE I CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Corps of Engineers--Civil OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $8,700,000,000 for the Corps of Engineers [Corps]. The Committee's recommendation sets priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure. Specifically, for the eighth consecutive year, the Committee recommendation provides adequate appropriations to utilize all of the estimated fiscal year 2022 revenues from the Inland Waterways Trust Fund [IWTF]. INTRODUCTION The Corps' Civil Works mission is to provide quality, responsive engineering services to the Nation in peace and war. Approximately 23,000 civilians and about 290 military officers are responsible for executing the Civil Works mission. This bill only funds the Civil Works functions of the Corps. The Corps maintains our inland waterways, keeps our ports open, manages a portion of our drinking water supply, provides emission-free electricity from dams, restores aquatic ecosystems, looks after many of our recreational waters, helps manage the river levels during flooding, provides environmental stewardship, and provides emergency response to natural disasters. The annual net economic benefit generated by the Corps' civil works mission is estimated to be $89,000,000,000, which equates to a return of about $12.00 for every $1.00 expended. The Corps' responsibilities include: --Navigation systems, including 13,000 miles of coastal navigation channels, 12,000 miles of inland waterways, 239 lock chambers, and 1,067 harbors, which handle over 2.4 billion tons of cargo annually; --Flood risk management infrastructure, including 718 dams, 12,400 miles of levees, and multiple hurricane and storm damage risk reduction projects along the coast; --Municipal and industrial water supply storage at 136 projects spread across 25 States; --Environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and ecosystem restoration; --Recreation for approximately 262 million recreation visits per year to Corps projects; --Regulation of waters under Federal statutes; and --Maintaining hydropower capacity of nearly 24,000 megawatts at 75 projects. BUDGET STRUCTURE CHANGES The fiscal year 2022 budget request for the Corps proposed numerous structural changes, including the creation of two new accounts--Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF] and IWTF; the shifting of various studies and projects between accounts and business lines; and the consolidation of certain line items. The Committee rejects all such proposed changes and instead recommends funding for the requested studies and projects in the manner in which funding has traditionally been provided. Unless expressly noted, the Committee recommends studies and projects remain at the funding levels included in the budget request, but in different accounts than in the budget request. In particular: --Projects requested in the HMTF account are shown in the Construction, Mississippi River and Tributaries, or Operation and Maintenance accounts, as appropriate; --Sand mitigation projects requested in the HMTF account are shown in the Construction account; --Interagency and International Support activities is not consolidated within the Coordination with Other Water Resource Agencies remaining item in Investigations; --Disposition studies will continue to be funded under the remaining item line Disposition of Completed Projects in the Investigations account; --Tribal Partnership projects will continue to be funded under the Tribal Partnership Program remaining item line in the Investigations account as well as in the remaining line item in the Construction account, and these amounts may also be used to cover necessary administrative expenses prior to agreement execution; --Inspection of Completed Works, Project Condition Surveys, and Scheduling of Reservoir Operations will continue to be funded under States instead of consolidated into a national program as requested in the Operation and Maintenance account and the HMTF account; and --Inspection of Completed Works will continue to be funded under the individual States instead of consolidated into a national program as requested in the Mississippi River and Tributaries account. If the Corps proposes budget structure changes in future fiscal years, the proposal shall be accompanied by a display of the funding request in the traditional budget structure. CONTINUING RESOLUTION APPORTIONMENT For the purposes of continuing resolutions starting in fiscal year 2018, the Office of Management and Budget changed the longstanding policy by which funding is apportioned to the Civil Works program of the Corps. Under the new policy, funding within an individual account was apportioned separately for amounts from the general fund of the Treasury and from various trust funds. The Committee has long intended the Corps to have the flexibility to address projects most in need of funding under a continuing resolution. The creation of artificial accounting distinctions has the potential to cause serious impediments to the efficient and effective implementation of the Civil Works program. For example, work on many navigation projects is limited by environmental or other regulatory windows. Further limitations imposed by separately apportioning HMTF monies could cause serious disruptions to the economic activity that depends on these navigation channels. For these reasons, the Committee disagrees with the change in apportionment policy and directs the Administration to follow the previous policy during any continuing resolutions that may occur in this or any future fiscal years. DEEP DRAFT NAVIGATION The CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) made certain changes to the methods by which funds from the HMTF are treated under discretionary budget rules. The Committee recommends an estimated $2,050,000,000 in accordance with these changes. This funding will enable the Corps to make significant progress on the backlog of dredging needs. Meeting these needs, including deeper drafts to accommodate the move toward larger ships, will be essential if the Nation is to remain competitive in international markets and to continue advancing economic development and job creation domestically. Additionally, the Water Resources Development Act [WRDA] of 2020 made certain changes to the methods by which funds for donor and energy transfer ports under section 2106(c) of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act [WRRDA] of 2014 are treated under discretionary budget rules. The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for these purposes. INLAND WATERWAYS SYSTEM The Committee is disappointed and perplexed by the budget request's proposal to not fund any ongoing work and only spend $52,150,000 of the estimated $115,000,000 of deposits for fiscal year 2022 into the IWTF. The Corps shall continue to prioritize funding for ongoing construction projects. The inland waterways system is essential for national security and for sustaining our global economic competitiveness as it serves as an integral component of the Nation's intermodal transportation system. Waterways are more efficient compared to alternative forms of freight transportation because barge transport allows for the movement of more cargo per shipment. Barges on the inland system transport many commodities including coal, petroleum, grain, and other farm products. The importance of modernizing inland waterway infrastructure is so important to these commercial users that they advocated for an increase to the fees they pay into the IWTF in 2014. Congress instituted this increase and took additional actions that allowed for two priority projects, the Olmsted Lock and Dam in Kentucky and the Lower Monongahela in Pennsylvania, to be funded to completion in fiscal year 2020. The success of this approach and the strategic importance of the inland waterway system is the reason the Committee does not understand why the administration would propose to delay progress by eliminating funding for ongoing construction projects. The budget request disregards the existing Capital Investment Strategy and the advice and recommendations of industry experts and professional engineers. Therefore, the Committee recommends appropriations that make full use of all estimated revenues from the IWTF for ongoing construction projects. ADDITIONAL FUNDING The Committee recommends funding above the budget request for Investigations, Construction, Operation and Maintenance, Mississippi River and Tributaries, Regulatory, and Expenses. This funding is for additional work (including new starts) that either was not included in the budget request or was inadequately budgeted. A study or project may not be excluded from evaluation for additional funding due to its inconsistency with administration policy. None of the funds may be used for any item for which the Committee has specifically denied funding. The Committee includes the seven new start Investigations projects and four new start Construction projects proposed in the budget request without change. The Committee also includes additional new starts in Investigations and Construction. No further new starts are recommended in this act. The Administration is reminded these funds are in addition to its budget request, and Administration budget metrics shall not be a reason to disqualify a study or project from being funded. The focus of the allocation process shall favor the obligation, rather than the expenditure, of funds for work in fiscal year 2022. Funding associated with each category of Additional Funding may be allocated to any eligible study or project, as appropriate, within that category; funding associated with each subcategory may be allocated only to eligible studies or projects, as appropriate, within that subcategory. Work Plan.--Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide to the Committee a work plan consistent with the following general guidance, as well as the specific direction the Committee provides within each account: (1) a detailed description of the rating system(s) developed and used to evaluate studies and projects; (2) delineation of how these funds are to be allocated; (3) a summary of the work to be accomplished with each allocation, including phase of work and the study or project's remaining cost to complete (excluding Operation and Maintenance); and (4) a list of all studies and projects that were considered eligible for funding but did not receive funding, including an explanation of whether the study or project could have used funds in fiscal year 2022 and the specific reasons each study or project was considered less competitive for an allocation of funds. The administration shall not delay apportioning the funding for Congressionally Directed Spending while developing the work plan for additional funding. The initiation of construction of an individually authorized project funded within a programmatic line item shall not require a new start designation if some amount of construction funding under such programmatic line item was appropriated and expended during the previous fiscal year. A study is not completed until preconstruction engineering and design [PED] is completed. The Committee urges the Corps within its Flood and Coastal Storm Damage Reduction mission to strive for a balance between inland and coastal projects. The Corps is encouraged to support opportunities to restore critical habitat and enhance the Nation's economic development, job growth, and international competitiveness. The following shall not require a new start or new investment decision and shall be considered ongoing work: --When moving from feasibility to PED; --To initiate work on a separable element of a project when construction of one or more separable elements of that project was initiated previously; --Any authorized environmental infrastructure project; --Study or construction activities related to individual projects authorized under section 1037 of WRRDA; --Work undertaken to correct a design deficiency on an existing Federal project; and --Projects that have previously received construction funding for authorized work. INVASIVE CARP The Corps is undertaking multiple efforts to stop invasive carp from reaching the Great Lakes. These actions are critical to protecting the Great Lakes ecosystem and the $7,000,000,000 recreational fishing and $16,000,000,000 boating industries. Last year, the Corps sent Congress an approved Chief's Report for a plan to build a comprehensive suite of measures to counter invasive carp at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam, a critical choke point to halt the spread of invasive species in the Illinois River. The Committee is encouraged to see funding is included in the fiscal year 2022 budget request to continue work on PED. As the Corps prioritizes projects, it shall consider critical projects to prevent the spread of invasive species. The Corps is directed to provide quarterly updates to the Committee on the progress and status of efforts to prevent the further spread of invasive carp including the Brandon Road Recommended Plan and the second array at the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal; the location and density of carp populations; the use of emergency procedures previously authorized by the Congress; and the development, consideration, and implementation of new technological and structural countermeasures; and the progress on PED work. The Corps shall continue to collaborate at levels commensurate with previous years with the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State of Illinois, and members of the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee, including identifying navigation protocols that would be beneficial or effective in reducing the risk of vessels inadvertently carrying aquatic invasive species, including invasive carp, through the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Joliet, Illinois. Any findings of such an evaluation shall be included in the quarterly briefings to the Committees. The Corps is further directed to implement navigation protocols shown to be effective at reducing the risk of entrainment without jeopardizing the safety of vessels and crews. The Corps shall brief the Committee on such navigation protocols and potential solutions within 30 days of enactment of this act. ADVANCED FUNDS AGREEMENTS Under the advanced funds authority, the Corps is authorized to accept, from a State or political subdivision thereof, all funds covering both the Federal and non-Federal share of total project costs required to construct an authorized water resources development project or separable element thereof. Based on the non-Federal sponsor's commitment to provide all funds required to construct a project, or separable element thereof, the Corps may undertake construction of the project prior to a new start determination related to Federal funding for the project. In light of a non-Federal sponsor's commitment to provide all funding required for construction of the project, or separable element thereof, the Committee directs that Federal funds shall not be provided for such construction. Instead, for such projects, any Federal funding may be provided only after completion of construction, as repayment of the Federal share of such construction, from funding provided in this or subsequent acts for reimbursements or repayments, and would be subject to a new start designation. The Committee does not intend that this direction apply to any project with an advanced funds project partnership agreement was in place prior to December 20, 2019. CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING The Committee included congressionally directed spending, as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full disclosure of funding provided in this Title, all projects requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone through the same rigorous process and approvals as those proposed by the President. CONTINUING CONTRACTS The Corps is authorized by section 621 of title 33, United States Code to execute its Civil Works projects through the use of a Special Continuing Contract Clause as described in Engineering Circulars 11-2-221 and 11-2-222. This permits the Corps to award the entire contract and fund the contract incrementally until completion. This acquisition strategy is well-suited to large, multi-year projects, including those with life safety, national security, or legal concerns, and is being used successfully at multiple projects nationwide. The Administration is directed to resume using its existing continuing contract authorities in accordance with the general provisions in this act as an efficient approach to managing large, multi-year projects. UPDATED CAPABILITIES Given the nature of the Civil Works program, the Committee understands the assumptions made in the budget request regarding the amount of work that can be accomplished in fiscal year 2022 for a particular project can change for a number of unforeseen reasons. The Committee expects updated capabilities will be addressed and adjusted during conference using the latest data available at that time. REPROGRAMMING The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94). REPORTING REQUIREMENT The Corps shall provide a quarterly report to the Committee, which includes the total budget authority and unobligated balances by year for each program, project, or activity, including any prior year appropriations. The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) shall provide a quarterly report to the Committee, which includes the total budget authority and unobligated balances by year for each activity funded in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) account, including any prior year appropriations.

The Corps is directed to brief the Committee within 60 days of enactment on the status of the project. Bubbly Creek.--The Committee is disappointed that negotiations between the Corps, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Justice over remaining liability concerns have yet to produce an outcome that will allow the project to move forward. The Committee urges the parties to expedite a resolution and directs the Corps to brief the Committee within 90 days of enactment. Chicago River.--The Committee urges the Corps to work with the City of Chicago River Ecology and Governance Task Force towards a comprehensive ecosystem restoration project for the restoration of the Chicago River. The Corps is encouraged to consider including funding for this study in future budget submissions. Chicago Shoreline.--The Committee remains concerned that lake levels in the Great Lakes are predicted to surpass record high levels and strongly encourages the Corps to reevaluate the conclusions of the original feasibility report to assess Federal interest in providing additional coastal protection along the Chicago shoreline. The Committee reminds the Corps that the Chicago Shoreline can be a focus area of the Great Lakes Resiliency Study. Coastal Field Data Collection.--The Committee strongly supports this program and the Corps' commitment to collect and maintain wave data, water level data, and other data critical to making informed decisions in our coastal areas. The Committee is concerned about the ability of the Corps to meets its obligation to maintain this critical capability at the proposed funding levels. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $1,500,000 above the budget request amount of $1,500,000 to continue data collection and research on the impact of extreme storms in coastal regions. Additionally, with the funds provided, the committee encourages the Corps to evaluate the readiness of the unique facilities and equipment necessary to support this effort and to include increased funding in future budget submissions in order to revitalize and modernize facilities and equipment in support of this program. Flood Policy in Urban Areas.--The Committee has continually requested the Flood Policy in Urban Areas report as detailed in by section 1211 of America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-270) [AWIA 2018]. The Corps is reminded that this report can be completed using existing funds and encourages the Corps to include reporting requirements in future budget submissions, if needed. The Committee directs the Corps, to provide a briefing on the findings of this report within 45 days of enactment. Inland Navigation Modernization Projects.--The Corps is urged to continue PED activities on inland modernization projects to prevent delays to project delivery and prepare projects for construction. McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System [MKARNS].-- The MKARNS is an established Marine Highway for waterborne commerce, relieving our Nation's highways and bridges from additional congestion and wear and tear. MKARNS supports economic activity across a 12-State region, moving 11 million tons of commerce worth $4,000,000,000 annually. MKARNS is a vital corridor for agriculture commerce (soybeans and wheat) and aggregate commodities (sand, gravel, and rock) from the Gulf Coast to the Mid-West. Farmers and ranchers rely on its availability year round to move crops to markets in all seasons and facilitate the movement of fertilizer domestically to prepare for the growing season each year. MKARNS needs to be deepened with a consistent 12-foot navigation channel to provide tow drafts that are more compatible with navigation on the Mississippi River. The current disparity results in less efficient barge operations and higher transportation costs. The Committee understands this project has capability to complete economic impacts and environmental updates and strongly urges the Corps to prioritize this effort in fiscal year 2022 to continue construction as soon as practicable. The Committee continues to encourage the Corps to provide funds for non-structural activities, such as channel deepening, with low annual funding needs in years where appropriated funds for IWTF cost shared projects are sufficient to accommodate such projects without impacting ongoing construction projects. The Corps shall brief the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this act on section 159 of WRDA 2020. Finally, the Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize inland waterways projects consistent with the update to the Capital Investment Strategy, pursuant to section 2002(d) of WRRDA 2014. McMicken Dam, Arizona.--The Committee recognizes the importance of the McMicken Dam project in providing flood protection to the region, including Luke Air Force Base, which delivers national security benefits to the Nation. The Corps is reminded to consider the value of national security in prioritizing and formulating studies and projects. New York-New Jersey Harbor and Tributaries Study.--The Committee appreciates that the budget request includes $1,450,000 to continue this study. The Committee expects the Corps to vigorously engage community groups and incorporate impacts of low-frequency precipitation and impacts of sea level rise in the study. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee within 45 days of enactment of this act on how it plans to follow these steps. North Atlantic Division Report on Hurricane Barriers and Harbors of Refuge.--The Committee continues to express the importance of the North Atlantic Division report on hurricane barriers and harbors of refuge mandated under Section 1218 of AWIA 2018. The Corps is reminded that this report can be completed using existing funds and encourages the Corps to include reporting requirements in future budget requests, if needed. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the Corps shall brief the Committee on the status and path forward for the report. Planning Assistance to States.--The Corps is reminded that this program encompasses many types of studies and technical assistance dealing with a number of water resource issues, including but not limited to, sediment management, coastal resilience, State water planning, water distribution, and water supply evaluations. Puget Sound Nearshore Study.--The Committee encourages the Corps to proceed with the tiered implementation strategy using all existing authorities as outlined in the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project Feasibility Study, Completion Strategy Guidance dated June 2015. The Corps is directed to recognize the Puget Sound Nearshore Study as the feasibility component for the purposes of section 544 of WRDA 2000 (Public Law 106-541). The Committee notes that the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Public Law 114- 332) [WIIN Act] authorized construction of the Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project. The Committee reminds the Corps that consistent with the direction in this report no new start, new investment decision, or new phase decision shall be required to continue this project in PED. Research and Development--Future Work.--The Committee appreciates and recognizes the value of research topics currently being addressed by the Army Engineer Research and Development Center [ERDC] towards advancing the Civil Works missions of the Corps. The Committee understands that the ERDC and the Corps have identified a series of critical research categories that will advance the efficient implementation of the Civil Works mission and provide value to the Nation. The Committee also understands that responding to these research needs can benefit the Corps by leveraging the expertise of universities through partnerships. The Committee directs the ERDC, within 90 days of enactment of this act, to brief the Committee on future research needs (including multi-year funding requirements) and potential university partnerships related to its strategic goals. Research and Development--Biopolymers.--The Committee recommends $6,000,000 of additional funding to continue research on the use of biopolymers to rehabilitate civil works structures, reduce the costs of rehabilitating and maintaining these structures, and increase resiliency of these structures against potential threats. With continued funding, the Committee understands this effort will be completed in 2 years. Research and Development--Flood and Coastal Systems.--The Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring the integrity of our Nation's flood control systems and employing the most effective technologies to identify potential deficiencies in these systems. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to utilize partnerships to research and develop advanced technology to automate assessment and inspection of flood control systems for the purpose of identifying levee deficiencies, such as slope instability, settlement and seepage, and ensuring the safety of the surrounding areas and communities. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide to the Committee a proposal for this effort including a detailed scope of work with a breakdown of research activities, work to be performed by the Corps and academia, specific deliverables, and schedule and funding requirements. Additionally, the Committee is interested in how this work can contribute to existing operations and maintenance activities and how potential cybersecurity concerns can be addressed. Research and Development--Freshwater Intrusion.--The Committee recognizes the need to develop tools to assess, forecast, and proactively manage the hydrodynamic and environmental impacts of large-scale freshwater intrusion into the Mississippi Sound and surrounding waters. These consistent freshwater intrusions have been detrimental to the Mississippi Sound and the U.S. blue economy. The Corps is encouraged to partner with academia with expertise in coastal processes and ocean and hydrodynamic modeling to develop these tools. Research and Development--Geophysical Modeling.--Rising sea levels and the increasing severity and frequency of weather events continues to impact coastlines, rivers, and related habitats. Additional funding of $4,000,000 is provided to continue research using geophysical computational modeling. The Committee understands that with continued funding this effort will be completed in 3 years. Research and Development--Oyster Restoration.--The Committee recognizes the importance of sustainable oyster reefs for maintaining healthy ecosystems, protecting coastal infrastructure and supporting commercial fisheries. Recent restoration efforts have not achieved the intended success for U.S. oyster populations, and the identification of effective restoration strategies remains a critical gap. The Committee recommends additional funding of $2,600,000 to continue the oyster reef restoration research and understands this effort will be completed in fiscal year 2022. Research and Development--Polymer Composites.--The Committee recognizes that polymer composites have wide-ranging proven characteristics including lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability that could translate to increased safety for inland waterways infrastructure. The Committee supports investigating the value of incorporating polymer composites into infrastructure applications in navigable waterways. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide to the Committee a proposal for this effort including a detailed scope of work, a breakdown of research activities, work to be performed by the Corps and academia, specific deliverables, and schedule and funding requirements. Research and Development--Subsurface Drains.--The Committee understands the use of subsurface drain systems as a flood risk reduction measure or coastal storm risk reduction measure are currently not considered during project development. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the Corps shall brief the Committee on research and development opportunities of subsurface drain systems pursuant to section 227 of WRDA 2020. Research and Development--Urban Flood Damage Reduction and Stream Restoration in Arid Regions.--The Committee recommends additional funds of $2,000,000 to continue the work on the management of water resources projects that promote public safety, reduce risk, improve operational efficiencies, reduce flood damage in arid and semi-arid regions, sustain the environment, and position our water resources systems to be managed as systems that are adaptable to the implications of a changing climate. The research and development program shall also continue its focus on science and technology efforts to address needs for resilient water resources infrastructure. The Committee understands that with continued funding this effort will be complete in 3 years. Shore Protection Easements.--The Committee notes the importance of periodic restoration of the Shore Protection Projects and their significance for the protection of public safety, public infrastructure, native vegetation and wildlife, as well as economy stability in oceanfront communities. The Committee understands the challenges facing local governments in obtaining the necessary approvals for required easements when no work will be performed on the property for which the easement is being required. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with local governments to incorporate flexibility in project agreement language that allows for incremental acquisition of easements necessary for scheduled nourishments. South Atlantic Coastal Study.--The Committee acknowledges the importance of engaging state, local, and tribal officials throughout the study process to ensure the methodology, focus, and results are implementable by states and communities. The Corps shall consult with industry groups, academia, and non- governmental organizations who can provide specialized expertise and coordinate appropriate attention and interest in the study's design and implementation from relevant stakeholders, including coastal state agencies, local officials, and private coastal scientists and engineers. The Committee encourages the Corps to consider near-shore marine habitats including coral reefs and oyster reefs, as well as the current and projected effects of authorized Corps environmental restoration programs and projects, including South Florida Ecosystem Restoration, within the scope of this comprehensive study. Upper Des Plaines River and Tributaries Project.--The Committee is aware the project area was flooded with record high crests overflowing the Des Plaines River, resulting in damage to more than 3,200 residents. The Committee urges the Corps to cooperate with the non-Federal sponsor to advance work on the flood features of this project. Tenkiller Ferry Lake.--Nothing in Section 204(b)(2)(H) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) is to be construed as to require a water reallocation study. Water Quality and Salinity Impacts on Oyster Reefs.--The Committee encourages the Corps, when conducting or reviewing environmental assessments or environmental impact statements for navigation or coastal restoration projects in areas where oyster reefs exist, to consider water quality and salinity impacts on those reefs and, when appropriate, to mitigate any negative impacts. Additional Funding.--The Corps is directed to allocate these additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front matter under the heading ``Additional Funding''. The Corps is reminded that activities related to innovative materials, as required under section 1208 of AWIA 2018, are eligible for funding under the Research and Development remaining item. The Committee urges the Corps to prioritize any authorized projects that would reduce flood risks to vulnerable communities, have been authorized based on their ability to reduce life safety risks, have been classified by the Corps as having a high risk of levee failure and life loss in the last five fiscal years, and whose failure would cause a release of hazardous materials from a Superfund site. Additionally, the Corps shall comply with the following direction in allocating funds recommended for Investigations: --When evaluating ongoing studies for funding, the Corps shall consider completing or accelerating ongoing studies or initiating new studies that will enhance the Nation's economic development, job growth, and international competitiveness; are for projects located in areas that have suffered recent natural disasters; are for projects that protect life and property; or are for projects to address legal requirements; --The Corps is urged to consider any national security benefits a project may provide when allocating this funding; and --The Corps shall include appropriate requests for funding in future budget submissions for PED and new feasibility studies initiated in fiscal year 2022. The Corps shall prepare the budget to reflect study completions, defined as completion of PED.

Alternative Delivery.--The Committee continues to support alternative delivery approaches such as Public Private Partnerships [P3s] and split delivery methods that leverage public and private resources to reduce costs and risk to populations by delivering infrastructure sooner. The use of P3s and split delivery methods demonstrates a viable strategy to help address the Corps' backlog of projects while reducing scheduling and funding risk to the Federal Government. The Committee encourages the Corps to continue the rulemaking process for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act [WIFIA]. The Corps is reminded that projects which use an alternative delivery approach are eligible to compete for additional funding recommended in this account. Advanced Measures.--The Corps is encouraged to fully use the authorities granted to it under the Advanced Measures program to mitigate impacts expected to occur in the Great Lakes Basin as a result of record-high and near-record-high water levels. Aquatic Plant Control Program.--Of the funding recommended for the Aquatic Plant Control Program, $1,000,000 shall be for activities for monitoring, surveys, and control of flowering rush and hydrilla. Additionally, $7,000,000 shall be for nationwide research and development to address invasive aquatic plants, within which the Corps is encouraged to support cost- shared aquatic plant management programs. Particularly, the Corps is encouraged to evaluate and address prevention, of new infestations of hydrilla in the Connecticut River Basin. Finally, $15,000,000 shall be for watercraft inspection stations and rapid response as authorized in section 104 of the River and Harbor Act of 1958, equally distributed to carry out subsections (d)(1)(A)(i), (d)(1)(A)(ii), and (d)(1)(A)(iii), and $3,000,000 shall be for related monitoring. Barrow Alaska Coastal Erosion.--The Committee is pleased the Corps reprogrammed funding to continue PED work for this critical project in fiscal year 2021 and urges the Corps to expeditiously complete PED to address the significant risks to life and safety, threats to the community's only drinking water source, and risks from contamination to the environment. Beneficial Use of Dredged Material Pilot Program.--The Committee is pleased to see the Corps' selection of ten pilot projects under section 1122 of the WIIN Act to carry out beneficial use of dredged material including the Resilient San Francisco Bay Pilot project. The Committee recommends $4,300,000 for the ten pilot projects selected to date within the ``Beneficial Use of Dredged Material Pilot Program.'' The Corps is further directed to brief the Committee prior to any effort to solicit or select any additional pilot projects as authorized by AWIA 2018. Bipartisan Budget Act [BBA] of 2018.--The Committee is frustrated with the lack of urgency in completing the BBA 2018 construction projects. The purpose of the supplemental disaster funding was to accelerate completion of high-priority flood control projects nationwide, including areas affected by hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. The Committee does not understand why the full cost of the project must be available before starting any construction especially when discrete elements are ready and there are funds to complete them. The Corps has never been funded in this manner and this interpretation does not align with the intent of Congress--to accelerate construction. The Committee has received only one of the required quarterly reports on the obligation of funds and this lack of transparency and collaboration is unacceptable. As the BBA 2018 program progresses, it is possible that projects will not be completed within supplemental funds available; the Committee does not intend for those projects to be delayed. The Corps shall brief the Committee no later than 30 days of this act enactment of this act on the status of the program and the plan for completion of projects. Bird Drive Basin Conveyance, Seepage Collection, and Recharge.--The Committee acknowledges the unique opportunity for Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority [MDX] to assist in land purchases and swaps to protect a vital project footprint to implement the Bird Drive Basin Conveyance, Seepage Collection, and Recharge concept and achieve the goals of the original Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan [CERP] Bird Drive Recharge Area project. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with the Department of the Interior and the South Florida Water Management District to quickly identify a consensus project footprint between SW 8th Street and the C-1W Canal to the south, immediately east of Krome Avenue, to enable Miami-Dade County and MDX to begin necessary land acquisitions in support of the creation of a West Kendall Everglades Buffer and progress towards completing an important element of the CERP. Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetlands Project.--The Committee continues to support this vital project to protect drinking water supplies in eastern Miami-Dade County from saltwater intrusion and to enhance the coastal and marine ecology of Biscayne Bay and the offshore coral reef system. The Committee notes support from Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Water Management District to incorporate highly treated, reclaimed wastewater as an additional source of freshwater to assist the rehydration of these coastal wetlands. The Committee encourages the Corps to consider the incorporation of this potential source of freshwater into further study, design, and construction of the project and to evaluate the potential to use additional volumes of reclaimed wastewater to restore freshwater artesian springs within the Bay through underground injection to the shallow, underlying aquifer. Camp Ellis Beach, Saco, Maine.--The Committee is pleased the Corps has accepted a letter of support from the City of Saco making them the non-Federal sponsor of the Camp Ellis Project. The Committee directs the Secretary to finalize a Project Partnership Agreement between the City of Saco and the Corps and to continue the collaborative effort to address the continued erosion at Camp Ellis Beach. Cano Martin Pena Ecosystem Restoration Project, San Juan, Puerto Rico.--The Committee renews its focus on the Cano Martin Pena Ecosystem Restoration Project planned for urban San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Committee continues to recognize the significance of this project for the economic revitalization, public health, and incidental flood protection of the eight surrounding communities. This historically important tidal channel will re-establish the natural tidal exchange between the San Jose Lagoon and the San Juan Bay, two bodies of water with ecologically significant habitat for native species and ecosystem function. The Committee further recognizes the substantial time and effort dedicated across the past three decades by the non-Federal sponsor to plan this project in coordination with the Corps and the meaningful progress made in recent years to secure its authorization and ready it for the construction phase. The Committee is concerned over lost opportunities and delays arising with the absence of funds being allocated to start construction of this critical project. Accordingly, the Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize funding for this project in future budget requests and to work with the non-Federal sponsor to advance the project to the next phase at the earliest practicable opportunity. Central Everglades Planning Project [CEPP].--The Committee recognizes the importance of restoring America's Everglades, and urges the Corps to expedite the required validation reports for PPA North and PPA New Water, and to begin design and construction of components for PPA South and PPA New Water as soon as practicable to complement the efforts of the South Florida Water District. The Committee urges the Corps to design and construct the recently-authorized Everglades Agricultural Area Storage Reservoir as quickly as possible to utilize the expanded water delivery capabilities of completed PPA South elements. Central and South Florida Project.--The Committee recognizes the importance of the Central and South Florida Project and urges the Corps to maintain continued attention to the need of the South Florida economy and environment for a functioning flood control system. Chesapeake Bay Comprehensive Water Resources Restoration Plan and Oyster Recovery.--The Committee supports the Corps' Chesapeake Bay Comprehensive Water Resources and Restoration Plan and the Chesapeake Bay Oyster Recovery Program and encourages the Corps to provide sufficient funding in future budget requests and the fiscal year 2022 work plan. Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier, Illinois.--No funds recommended in this act may be used for construction of hydrologic separation measures. CERP-Indian River Lagoon-South.--The Committee recognizes the importance of restoring America's Everglades, and the challenge of balancing discharges from Lake Okeechobee and harmful algal blooms in the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon. The Committee urges the Corps to move on the final construction of the C-44 Reservoir and to expedite design work on the C-23 and C-24 Reservoirs that, along with the C-44 Reservoir, will serve as crucial elements of the Indian River Lagoon-South CERP project to collect and clean discharges and runoff before they enter the Lagoon. Columbia River Treaty.--The Corps is directed to brief, in a classified setting and in coordination with the Department of State, within 60 days after enactment of this act on the execution plan for post-fiscal year 2023 for flood control operations as dictated by the modernized agreement. Further, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act the Corps shall provide a classified detailed assessment, in coordination with Department of State, of its funding requirements and plan for post-fiscal year 2023 for flood control operations as dictated by the Columbia River Treaty. Construction Funding Schedules.--A complete and reliable cost estimate with an out-year funding schedule is essential to understanding current funding and future funding requirements within the Corps' construction portfolio. A comprehensive outlook of these dynamic requirements is necessary for Congress to consider and balance funding allocations annually, and to assess the long-term effects of new investment decisions. Therefore, within 90 days of enactment of this act and annually thereafter, the Chief of Engineers shall submit directly to the Committee on Appropriations of both houses of Congress, a breakdown, by fiscal year, of the full and efficient Federal funding needs for each ongoing construction project in the Corps' Civil Works program. For each project identified, the Corps shall also provide the total project cost with a breakdown between the Federal and non-Federal costs, and any applicable authorization ceiling. For the purposes of this report, an active project shall mean any project which has received construction account appropriations, including those funded in a supplemental, and has remaining costs to be funded from the Construction account. These funding requirements shall be based on technical construction sequencing, and realistic workflow and shall not be altered to reflect administrative policies and priorities or any assumed limitation on funding available. Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for the Continuing Authorities Program [CAP]. CAP is a useful tool for the Corps to undertake small localized projects without being encumbered by the lengthy study and authorization phases typical of most Corps projects. The management of CAP shall continue consistent with direction provided in previous fiscal years. The Corps shall allow for the advancement of flood control projects in combination with ecological benefits using natural and nature-based solutions alone, or in combination with, built infrastructure where appropriate for reliable risk reduction during the development of projects under section 205 of CAP. Additionally, within the section 1135 CAP authority, and to the extent already authorized by law, the Committee encourages the Corps to consider projects that restore degraded wetland habitat and stream habitat impacted by construction of Corps levees with executed Feasibility Cost Share Agreements. Environmental Infrastructure.--Authorized Environmental Infrastructure projects shall not require a new start designation. This includes projects in regional authorities that have not received funding and projects authorized under section 219 of the WRDA of 1992 (Public Law 102-580), as amended. The Committee reminds the Corps that Environmental Infrastructure authorities include caps on Federal participation, but do not provide a guarantee that the project authorization level will be met. Environmental Infrastructure projects shall only receive funding if there is a separable element that can be funded to completion in a fiscal year without the requirement for continued funding in future years. Howard Hanson Dam--Additional Water Storage Project [HAHD- AWSP].--The Committee supports continued efforts to fully implement the jeopardy Biological Opinion (BiOp) determining the impact of ongoing operations of Howard Hanson Dam, including the HAHD-AWSP on ESA-listed species, and specifically the ongoing work to construct a downstream fish passage facility. Innovative Funding Partnerships Program.--The budget request includes $10,000,000 for an Innovative Funding Partnerships Program to be used along with funds from non- Federal interests ``in excess of the non-Federal sponsor's statutory cost share requirements'' to accelerate certain authorized projects. The Committee is troubled by what appears to be an avenue to circumvent the performance based budgeting approach the Corps uses to evaluate projects. It is unclear how equity will be maintained if funding in excess of legally required cost share is used as a criterion for funding decisions allowing non-Federal sponsors to contribute funds and jump the line is contrary to long-standing congressional direction. The Committee recommends no funds for this proposal. The Committee notes, however, that any project that could have received funding under such a program is eligible to compete for the additional funding provided in this account based on the project performance criteria described in this report. Lake Champlain Watershed.--The Lake Champlain Watershed is an officially designated resource of national significance that spans the States of New York and Vermont and into Canada. The Committee reminds the Corps that section 542 of WRDA of 2000 (Public Law 106-541) as amended, authorizes the Corps to provide assistance to non-Federal interests to address a range of environmental issues in the Lake Champlain Watershed in Vermont and New York. New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam, Georgia and South Carolina.--The Committee maintains interest in the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam and recognizes the long standing challenges of the project. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with all stakeholders towards a mutually beneficial resolution that will ensure waters levels for existing activities and functions are maintained, as detailed in section 1319 of the WIIN Act. Non-Federal Implementation Pilot Program.--Due to ongoing concerns initially expressed in the fiscal year 2020 Senate Report, the Corps shall notify the Committee upon receiving any proposal from a non-Federal interest requesting to utilize the section 1043(b) of WRRDA authority. The Corps shall not negotiate or enter into a project partnership agreement to transfer funds to a non-Federal interest utilizing this authority unless approval is received from the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. None of the funds recommended in this act shall be used under this authority for a project where construction has been started but not completed. The Corps shall brief the Committees not later than 45 days after enactment of this act on activities carried out under the section 1043 pilot program, including the Corps' implementation guidance and any existing or potential agreements. Prioritization of Projects in Drought-Stricken Areas.--The Committee urges the Corps to prioritize any authorized projects that would alleviate water supply issues in areas that have been afflicted by severe droughts in the last four fiscal years, to include projects focused on the treatment of brackish water. South Florida Ecosystem Restoration [SFER].--For fiscal year 2022, the Committee directs the Corps to make publicly available a comprehensive snapshot of all SFER cost share accounting down to the project level and directs the Corps to ensure the accuracy of all budget justification sheets that inform SFER Integrated Financial Plan documents by September 30, 2022. The Dalles Dam, Tribal Housing.--The Committee is aware that the work on the Village Development Plan is partially complete. The Corps is encouraged to complete the Village Development Plan in consultation with affected Columbia River tribes and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Tulsa and West-Tulsa Levee System [TWTLS].--The Committee recognizes that TWTLS-protected area is home to a substantial population of elderly and low income residents, and the TWTLS was classified by the Corps as a high risk of failure and life loss in 2019. Therefore, the Committee has provided additional funding and urges the Corps to expeditiously continue progress on this critical project. Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program [UMRR], Quincy Bay.--Over the past 70 years, river traffic has led to the environmental degradation of Quincy Bay. Therefore the Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize the environmental restoration project in Quincy Bay near Quincy, Illinois as a Tier 1 project for immediate commencement through the UMMR Program. Upper St. Anthony Falls.--The Committee is concerned that the Corps is attempting to divest the entire Federal project at once and encourages the Corps to continue to operate and maintain the lock. The Corps is further reminded that the Upper St. Anthony Falls project remains an authorized Federal project until there is a willing non-Federal partner for the disposition study. Additional Funding.--The Corps shall allocate these additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front matter under the heading ``Additional Funding''. The Corps shall not condition these funds, or any funds appropriated in this act, on a non-Federal interest paying more than their required share in any phase of a project. Of the additional funds recommended in this account for flood and storm damage reduction, navigation, and other authorized project purposes (excluding environmental infrastructure), the Corps shall allocate not less than $35,000,000 to authorized reimbursements for projects with executed project partnership agreements and that have completed construction or where non-Federal sponsors intend to use the funds for additional water resource development activities. Of the additional funding provided in this account for environmental restoration or compliance and other authorized project purposes, the Corps shall allocate not less than $25,000,000 for multistate ecosystem restoration programs for which a comprehensive restoration plan is in development or has been completed. Of the additional funding recommended in this account for flood and storm damage reduction and flood control, the Corps shall allocate not less than $25,558,000 to continue construction of projects that principally address drainage in urban areas. When allocating the additional funding provided in this account, the Corps is encouraged to evaluate authorized reimbursements in the same manner as if the projects were being evaluated for new or ongoing construction and shall consider giving priority to the following: --Benefits of the funded work to the national economy; --Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional, or local economic development; --Number of jobs created directly by the funded activity; --Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the calendar year, including consideration of the ability of the non-Federal sponsor to provide any required cost share; --Ability to complete the project, separable element, or project phase with the funds allocated; --Legal requirements, including responsibilities to Tribes; --For flood and storm damage reduction projects (including authorized nonstructural measures and periodic beach renourishments): Population, safety of life, economic activity, or public infrastructure at risk, as appropriate; the severity of risk of flooding or the frequency with which an area has experienced flooding; and preservation of historically significant communities, culture, and heritage; --For shore protection projects, projects in areas where there is risk to life and public health and safety, and risk of environmental contamination; --For navigation projects, the number of jobs or level of economic activity to be supported by completion of the project, separable element, or project phase; --For projects cost shared with the IWTF, the economic impact on the local, regional, and national economy if the project is not funded, as well as discrete elements of work that can be completed within the funding provided in this line item; --For other authorized project purposes and environmental restoration or compliance projects, the beneficial use of dredged material; and --For environmental infrastructure, projects in rural communities, projects with greater economic impact, projects in counties or parishes with high poverty rates, projects owed past reimbursements, and projects that provide backup raw water supply in the event of an emergency. The Committee recommendation includes the full use of all estimated fiscal year 2022 annual revenues in the IWTF to ensure ongoing construction projects proceed with an efficient funding profile. Funds recommended herein for inland waterways shall only be available for ongoing construction projects. The Corps shall allocate all funds recommended in the IWTF Revenues remaining item along with the statutory cost share from funds provided in the Navigation line item prior to allocating the remainder of funds in the Navigation line item.

The Committee rejects this change and instead recommends continuing to fund these activities as separate line items. Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--When allocating the additional funding recommended in this account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to completing or accelerating ongoing work that will enhance the Nation's economic development, job growth, and international competitiveness, or to studies or projects located in areas that have suffered recent natural disasters. The Corps shall use such sums as are necessary to carry out remaining unconstructed features of projects authorized by law, in response to recent flood disasters. While this funding is shown under remaining items, the Corps shall use these funds in investigations, construction, and operation and maintenance, as applicable. The Committee recognizes the importance of erosion control in headwater streams and tributaries, and the environmental, water quality, and sediment reduction benefits it provides downstream. When allocating additional funds recommended in this account, the Corps is directed to give adequate consideration to cooperative projects addressing watershed erosion, sedimentation, flooding, and environmental degradation. Of the additional funds recommended in this account, the Corps shall allocate not less than $3,000,000 for dredging of ports and harbors.

Requested in remaining items. Funded under projects listed under states. Arkansas Red River Chloride Control.--The Committee reminds the Corps of their existing obligations to continue operations and maintenance activities for the Red River Chloride Control project, Oklahoma and Texas, at Federal expense and encourages the Corps to prioritize funding for these projects when allocating additional funding recommended in this account. Aquatic Nuisance Control Research.--Harmful Algal Blooms [HABs] continue to threaten local communities, ecosystems, human health, drinking water sources, and local outdoor economies across the Nation. These algae overgrowths produce dangerous toxins in fresh and marine waters that can sicken or kill people and animals, create dead zones, and raise treatment costs for drinking water. The devastating effects of HABs occur across multiple ecoregions from large freshwater lakes like the Finger Lakes in New York and Lake Okeechobee in Florida to large inland waterways like the Ohio River where a 2015 HAB event persisted for over a month involving over 700 miles of waterway. The Committee continues to support the Corps' efforts to address gaps in critical HAB research to avoid, detect, and address HAB occurrences. The additional funding recommended in the Aquatic Nuisance Control Research remaining item is to supplement and advance Corps activities to address HABs including: early detection, prevention, and management techniques and procedures to reduce the occurrence and impacts of harmful algal blooms in our nation's water resources; work with university partners to develop prediction, avoidance and remediation measures focused on environmental triggers in riverine ecosystems; and to advance state-of-the-art UAS based detection, monitoring, and mapping of invasive aquatic plant species in conjunction with University partners. Asset Management/FEM.--The Committee is frustrated by the lack of progress of the Corps in performing a review of their inventory, in accordance with Section 6002 of the WRRDA of 2014, as has been directed in previous Committee Reports. The Committee notes that the Corps was previously provided $1,000,000 to carry out these activities and understands $350,000 is needed in fiscal year 2022 which has been recommended under Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance [FEM]. The Corps is directed to provide an interim progress report that includes details on the percentage of this work that has already been done and a timeline for completion of the inventory to the Committee no later than 60 days after enactment of this act. Coastal Inlet Research Program.--The Committee understands that communities, infrastructure, commerce, and resources that are tied to the coastal nearshore region are all vulnerable to damage from extreme coastal events and long-term coastal change. Funding in addition to the budget request is recommended for the Corps-led, multi-university effort to identify engineering frameworks to address coastal resilience needs; to develop adaptive pathways that lead to coastal resilience; that measure the coastal forces that lead to infrastructure damage and erosion during extreme storm events; and to improve coupling of terrestrial and coastal models. Funding in addition to the budget request is also recommended for the Corps to continue work with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Water Center on protecting the Nation's water resources. Debris Removal.--The Committee reminds the Corps that section 1164 of the WIIN Act enhanced the Corps' authority to remove ``accumulated snags, obstructions, and other debris located in or adjacent to a Federal channel in the interest of navigation, flood control, or recreation.'' The Committee encourages the Corps to complete ongoing bridge removal projects; and when removing bridges and bridge pilings, to consider also removing other pilings and obstructions in close proximity to the bridge, and in or adjacent to the Federal navigation channel pursuant to this authority. Enhanced Options for Sand Acquisition for Beach Renourishment Projects.--The Committee urges the Corps to provide States with guidance and recommendations to implement cost effective measures and planning for sand management. Engineering With Nature.--The Committee recommendation includes $12,500,000 as a new remaining item in this account to support the Corps' Engineering with Nature [EWN] initiative. The Committee is impressed with the positive impact on the environment and the extensive cost savings this program provides. With the funds recommended, the Corps is encouraged to continue collaboration across research programs on nature- based infrastructure and with university partners to develop standards, design guidance, and testing protocols to fully evaluate and standardize nature-based and hybrid infrastructure solutions, including those in drought and fire-prone lands and post-fire recovery areas. Additionally, the Corps is encouraged to expand the EWN initiative to support science and engineering practices that support long-term resilience and sustainability of water infrastructure and their supporting systems. Funding under this line item is intended for EWN activities having a national or regional scope or which benefit the Corps' broader execution of its mission areas. It is not intended to replace or preclude the appropriate use of EWN practices at districts using project-specific funding, or work performed across other Corps programs that might involve EWN. The Committee encourages the Corps to identify EWN efforts in future budget requests. Of the funding recommended, $5,000,000 is included to support ongoing research and advance work with university partners to develop standards, design guidance, and testing protocols to improve and standardize nature-based and hybrid infrastructure solutions. Flood and Earthquake Modeling.--Additional funds are recommended in the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program to facilitate coordination with the Levee Safety program to develop a plan for leveraging existing knowledge related to potential seismic concerns relevant to levees. The Corps is encouraged to evaluate whether earthquake model would aid in assessment and if collaboration with Universities would be beneficial. Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations.--The Committee is pleased with the results of FIRO Phases 1 and 2 and is interested in how the program can be leveraged to other areas. Particularly if there are regions where different storm types, in addition to Atmospheric Rivers, are key to heavy rain and flooding (e.g., tropical storms/hurricanes, large thunderstorm systems), and where longer forecast lead times may be required. The Corps shall brief the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment on the details of continuing and potentially expanding FIRO and related efforts. The briefing shall include how FIRO could be expanded to include assessments of at least two major systems of dams (representing at least a dozen dams in total), for which coordination across several dams in the larger watershed is required and focus on the potential to predict extreme precipitation and flood to better anticipate to what degree FIRO might be applicable across reservoirs nationally. Integrated Navigation Analysis and Systems Enhancements.-- The Committee recommends additional funds in the remaining item Dredging Data and Lock Performance Monitoring System and in the remaining item Dredging Operations Technical Support Program to continue work laying the foundation for prototype applications for machine learning techniques as it relates to sedimentation- dredging patterns, dredging operations trends, and lock operations, including enhancements to systems to provide additional analytical capabilities and integrates data across enterprise navigation systems. Inspection of Completed Environmental Projects.--The Committee is concerned about the absence of funding for the Inspection of Completed Environmental Projects program in the administration's budget request. The program is intended to ensure that non-Federal sponsors operate and maintain aquatic ecosystem restoration projects in accordance with the Operations, Maintenance, Repair, Rehabilitation, and Replacement manual, thereby ensuring that the Federal investment is protected and presumably providing the benefits intended. The Corps is encouraged to include funding in future budget requests. Invasive Species Mitigation.--The Committee recognizes that the Corps is engaged in a multipronged effort to combat invasive species in our country's waterways and protect the Mississippi River Basin, which is one of the most valued ecosystems in the world. The Committee recommends $500,000 for the Corps, in partnership with other Federal partners, to begin planning, design, initial engineering and project management for construction of carp barriers in the Mississippi River Basin and the Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway. Kennebec River Long-Term Maintenance Dredging.--The Committee continues to support the Memorandum of Agreement signed in January 2019 denoting responsibilities between the Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy for the regular maintenance of the Kennebec River Federal Navigation Channel. Maintenance dredging of the Kennebec is essential to the safe passage of newly constructed Navy guided missile destroyers to the Atlantic Ocean. The Committee directs the Secretary to continue its collaboration with the Department of the Navy to ensure regular maintenance dredging of the Kennebec. Levee Safety Program.--In fiscal year 2020, Congress provided $15,000,000 to implement levee safety initiatives to meet the requirements under section 3016 of WRRDA. The Committee understands these funds are sufficient to complete Phase II activities. Low Reservoir Water Level Issues.--The Committee encourages the Corps to ensure adequate resources to address issues at Corps projects when low water levels occur, such as additional terrestrial noxious weed control and sediment removal activities. Mobile Bay Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The Committee encourages the Corps to examine beneficial uses of dredged material in Mobile Bay, Alabama. Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects--Fisheries.-- The Committee is concerned that a reduction in or elimination of navigational lock operations on the Nation's inland waterways is having a negative impact on river ecosystems, particularly the ability of endangered, threatened, and game fish species to migrate through waterways, particularly during critical spawning periods. The Committee notes the success of preliminary research which indicates reduced lock operations on certain Corps-designated low-use waterways is directly impacting migration and that there are effective means to mitigate the impacts. The Committee continues to believe that maximizing the ability of fish to use these locks to move past the dams has the potential to restore natural and historic long-distance river migrations that may be critical to species survival. In fiscal year 2021, the Committee recommended funding to continue this research on the impact of reduced lock operations on riverine fish. The Committee understands this research has proven valuable and, within available funds for ongoing work, directs the Corps to continue this research at not less than the fiscal year 2021 level. The goal of the continued funding is to support the ongoing research and, where appropriate, expand the work to look at ecosystem level impacts and additional waterways, lock structures, lock operation methods, and fish species that will more fully inform the Corps' operations. Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects--Structural Health Monitoring.--Of the funding recommended, $4,000,000 shall be to support the structural health monitoring program to facilitate research to maximize operations, enhance efficiency, and protect asset life through catastrophic failure mitigation. The Corps is encouraged to include funding for these activities in future budget requests. National Coastal Mapping Program.--Of the additional funds recommended in the National Coastal Mapping Program remaining item, $5,000,000 shall be for Arctic coastal mapping needs. The Committee notes the Corps has responsibility for some mapping but, in general, does not include shoreline. Before the Corps obligates funds to map shoreline in Alaska, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works shall provide notice to the Committee. The notice shall include certification that the effort is coordinated with NOAA and compliments those efforts. Recreational Boating.--The Committee encourages the Corps to complete the ongoing inventory of all federally managed recreational boating infrastructure and facilities. The Committee is interested in the findings related to the assessment of annual operation and maintenance needs associated with such infrastructure and facilities, deferred operation and maintenance needs for such infrastructure and facilities to operate safely at full capacity, opportunities to expand capacity at existing access points, and economic impact of recreation to local and regional economies and benefits of sustaining and improving public access at recreational infrastructure and facilities. Regional Sediment Management.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to continue Corps research and development into enhanced forecasting capabilities to implement proactive strategies for flood risk management to enhance the resiliency of coastal communities and mitigate socioeconomic and environmental consequences of extreme coastal hazards. Funds are also provided to support cooperative efforts between the Corps and academia to address compound flooding issues. Small, Remote, or Subsistence Harbors.--The Committee emphasizes the importance of ensuring that our country's small and low-use ports remain functional. The Committee urges the Corps to consider expediting scheduled maintenance at small and low-use ports that have experienced unexpected levels of deterioration since their last dredging. The Committee is concerned that the administration's criteria for navigation maintenance disadvantage small, remote, or subsistence harbors and waterways from competing for scarce navigation maintenance funds. The Committee directs the Corps to revise the criteria used for determining which navigation maintenance projects are funded and to develop a reasonable and equitable allocation under the Operation and Maintenance account. The Committee supports including criteria to evaluate economic impact that these projects provide to local and regional economies. Soil Moisture and Snowpack Monitoring Program.--The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for the continued fielding of the Missouri River Snowpack and Soil Moisture Monitoring System. Providing these capabilities is critical to enabling the Corps to accurately forecast plains snowpack and soil moisture to improve runoff forecasts that inform management decisions on dam releases in order to protect Missouri River Basin states from the impacts of flooding and droughts. Tuttle Creek Lake, KS.--The additional funding provided is for Water Injection Dredging efforts. Water Control Manual Prioritization Report.--The Committee is pleased to see the Corps start to budget for the update of water control manuals. However, the Committee is perplexed and disappointed that the prioritized list of manuals that require updating has not been provided. This is particularly concerning because funds were provided for this purpose and it appears the Corps has used this information to budget for these updates. The Corps shall provide the comprehensive list of water control manuals at Corps-owned projects located in states where a Reclamation project is also located, including a prioritized list of needed updates of those manuals no later than 60 days following enactment. Water Control Manuals, Section 7 Dams.--Many water control manuals are decades old and in need of updating, particularly in light of recent dam disasters and improvements in forecast- informed reservoir operations [FIRO]. Of the additional funds recommended for Other Authorized Project Purposes $4,000,000 shall be for water control manual updates for a non-Corps owned high hazard dam where: (1) the Corps has a responsibility for flood control operations under section 7 of the Flood Control Act of 1944; (2) the dam requires coordination of water releases with one or more other high-hazard dams for flood control purposes; and (3) the dam owner is actively investigating the feasibility of applying forecast informed reservoir operations technology. Water Operations Technical Support.--Funding in addition to the budget request is recommended for research into atmospheric rivers first funded in fiscal year 2015. Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee cannot support a level of funding that does not fund operation and maintenance of our Nation's aging infrastructure sufficiently to ensure continued competitiveness in a global marketplace. Federal navigation channels maintained at only a fraction of authorized dimensions and navigation locks and hydropower facilities being used well beyond their design life results in economic inefficiencies and risks infrastructure failure, which can cause substantial economic losses. The Committee recommendation includes additional funds for projects and activities to enhance the Nation's economic growth and international competitiveness. Of the additional funds recommended in this account for other authorized project purposes, not less than $2,000,000 shall be for efforts to combat invasive mussels at Corps-owned reservoirs. When allocating the additional funding recommended in this account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to the following: --Ability to complete ongoing work maintaining authorized depths and widths of harbors and shipping channels (including small, remote, or subsistence harbors), including where contaminated sediments are present; --Ability to address critical maintenance backlog; --Presence of the U.S. Coast Guard; --Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional, or local economic development; --Extent to which the work will promote job growth or international competitiveness; --Number of jobs created directly by the funded activity; --Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the fiscal year; --Ability to complete the project, separable element, project phase, or useful increment of work within the funds allocated; --Dredging projects that would provide supplementary benefits to tributaries and waterways in close proximity to ongoing island replenishment projects; and --Extent to which the work will promote recreation-based benefits, including those created by recreational boating; and --For harbor maintenance activities: --Total tonnage handled; --Total exports; --Total imports; --Dollar value of cargo handled; --Energy infrastructure and national security needs served; --Designation as strategic seaports; --Lack of alternative means of freight movement; --Savings over alternative means of freight movement; and --Improvements to dredge disposal facilities which will result in long-term savings, including a reduction in regular maintenance costs. REGULATORY PROGRAM Appropriations, 2021.................................... $210,000,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 204,400,000 Committee recommendation................................ 212,000,000 The Committee recommends $212,000,000 for the Regulatory Program. The Committee recommends funds above the budget request to address capacity needs across the Corps related to staffing shortages in Corps districts. The Corps is encouraged to budget appropriately in order to process permits in a timely fashion. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, nothing shall preclude a non-Federal entity from developing and operating a pumped storage hydroelectric project in Gregory County, South Dakota, utilizing Missouri River water pursuant to a Federal Power Act license, subject to all otherwise applicable license and permits, nor limit the entities to which project power can be sold. FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM Appropriations, 2021.................................... $250,000,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 260,000,000 The Committee recommends $260,000,000 for the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES Appropriations, 2021.................................... $35,000,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 35,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 35,000,000 The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies. EXPENSES Appropriations, 2021.................................... $206,000,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 199,290,000 Committee recommendation................................ 216,000,000 The Committee recommends $216,000,000 for Expenses. No funding is recommended for creation of an Office of Congressional Affairs. The Expenses appropriation is an administrative and operational account which supports the technical, administrative and staff supervision functions assigned to Corps Headquarters, the Major Subordinate Commands [MSCs/ division offices]; and the costs of those elements within four field operating activities providing direct support to those functions. The Expenses appropriation pays for two categories of requirements--labor and non-labor--to support the Corps. The most recent U.S. Army Manpower Analysis Agency [USAMAA] staffing analysis was conducted in 2011 to determine an efficient and effective organizational structure for the Corps, properly staffed to perform assigned missions and accomplish given workload under the appropriate command and control. This analysis identified the need for 980 Full time equivalents [FTE] based on the needs facing the Corps' Civil Works program in 2011, which received an annual Civil Works appropriation of $5,100,000,000. The Corps has been operating with approximately 850 FTE, with a fiscal year 2020 appropriation of $7,650,000, not accounting for the over $20,000,000,000 in emergency supplemental funding they have received over the past 3 years. Thus, the Corps is working with nearly 130 fewer FTE than recommended and being required to execute at least 50 percent more work than the initial estimate was based on. The additional funds recommended in this account shall be used to support implementation of the Corps' Civil Works program, including hiring additional FTE. This includes developing and issuing policy guidance; managing Civil Works program; and providing national coordination of and participation in forums and events within headquarters, the division offices, and meeting other enterprise requirements and operating expenses. The Committee encourages the Corps to pursue updating the 2011 USMAA staffing analysis based on current Civil Works needs. The Committee moved $8,000,000 provided in the budget recommendation for electric vehicles and charging stations to this account. These activities align with the replacement and maintenance of the current fleet of vehicles which is conducted as part of this account. OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (CIVIL WORKS) Appropriations, 2021.................................... $4,500,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 5,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 5,000,000 The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works). The Committee is concerned about the bureaucratic process for renewing leases under 10 U.S.C. 2667 and 16 U.S.C. 460d. The Committee encourages the Secretary to consider the efficiencies that may be gained by allowing Corps districts to authorize lease renewals under this section, including lease applications in excess of 25 years. The Committee counts on a timely and accessible executive branch in the course of fulfilling its constitutional role in the appropriations process. The requesting and receiving of basic, factual information is vital to maintaining a transparent and open governing process. The Committee recognizes that some discussions internal to the executive branch are pre-decisional in nature and, therefore, not subject to disclosure. However, the access to facts, figures, and statistics that inform these decisions are not subject to the same sensitivity and are critical to the appropriations process. The administration needs to do more to ensure timely and complete responses to these inquiries. WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION PROGRAM Appropriations, 2020.................................... $14,200,000 Budget estimate, 2021................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 14,200,000 The Committee recommends $14,200,000 for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program.

TITLE II DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT COMPLETION ACCOUNT Appropriations, 2021.................................... $21,000,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 20,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 21,000,000 The Committee recommends $21,000,000 for the Central Utah Project Completion Account, which includes $5,000,000 for the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Account for use by the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, $1,550,000 for necessary expenses of the Secretary of the Interior, and up to $1,850,000 for the Commission's administrative expenses. This allows the Department of the Interior to develop water supply facilities that will continue to sustain economic growth and an enhanced quality of life in the western States, the fastest growing region in the United States. The Committee remains committed to complete the Central Utah Project, which would enable the project to initiate repayment to the Federal Government. Bureau of Reclamation OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,986,000,000 for the Bureau of Reclamation [Reclamation]. The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure. INTRODUCTION In addition to the traditional missions of bringing water and power to the West, Reclamation continues to develop programs, initiatives, and activities that will help meet new water needs and balance the multitude of competing uses of water in the West. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of water in the country, operating 338 reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 140 million acre-feet. Reclamation projects deliver 10 trillion gallons of water to more than 31 million people each year, and provide 1 out of 5 western farmers with irrigation water for 11 million acres of farmland that produce 60 percent of the Nation's vegetables and 25 percent of its fruits and nuts. Reclamation manages, with partners, 289 recreation sites that have 90 million visits annually. FISCAL YEAR 2022 WORK PLAN The Committee recommends funding above the budget request for Water and Related Resources. Reclamation is directed to submit a work plan, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, to the Committee proposing its allocation of these additional funds. The work plan shall be consistent with the following general guidance: --None of the funds may be used for any item for which the Committee has specifically denied funding; --The additional funds are recommended for studies or projects that were either not included in the budget request or for which the budget request was inadequate; --Funding associated with a category may be allocated to eligible studies or projects within that category; and --Reclamation may not withhold funding from a study or project because it is inconsistent with administration policy. The Committee notes that these funds are in excess of the administration's budget request, and that administration budget metrics shall not disqualify a study or project from being funded. DROUGHT RESILIENCY The Committee remains intently focused on the need for improving drought resiliency as well as in finding opportunities for agencies to combine water supply benefits with other mission priorities. The impacts of the current severe drought in the west display there is more work to be done. The Committee continues to invest in the drought resiliency programs authorized in the WIIN Act and believes a solution to these chronic droughts is a combination of additional storage, substantial investments in desalination and recycling, improved conveyance, and increased efficiencies in the uses of water both for agriculture and potable purposes. As the West has consistently been the fastest growing part of the country, it is incumbent on Reclamation to lead the way in increasing the water that is available from year to year and to incentivize more efficient use of the water that is available. CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING The Committee included congressionally directed spending, as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full disclosure of funding provided in this Title, all projects requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone through the same rigorous process and approvals as those proposed by the President. WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES Appropriations, 2021.................................... $1,521,125,000 Budget estimate, 2022................................... 1,379,050,000 Committee recommendation................................ 1,832,101,000 The Committee recommends $1,832,101,000 for Water and Related Resources. INTRODUCTION The Water and Related Resources account supports the development, management, and restoration of water and related natural resources in the 17 western States. The account includes funds for operating and maintaining existing facilities to obtain the greatest overall level of benefits, to protect public safety, and to conduct studies on ways to improve the use of water and related natural resources. Work will be done in partnership and cooperation with non-Federal entities and other Federal agencies.

Aging Infrastructure Program.--The majority of Reclamation's infrastructure is over 50 years old, which can result in significant operations and maintenance costs. The Committee is interested in the benefit the Aging Infrastructure program could provide, particularly in addressing extraordinary maintenance projects, particularly in drought prone areas. The Committee does not support allowing increases or decreases in transfer amounts at this time and directs Reclamation to report to the Committee prior to obligation of any of the funds for this purpose a report detailing the implementation of this program and the criteria for evaluating eligible projects. Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program.--The Committee supports the budget request of $1,000,000 for the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program to the design, study, and construction of aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection projects in Reclamation States. Reclamation is directed to report to the Committee within 60 days after enactment of this act, detailing the plan to implement this program and the criteria for evaluating eligible projects. Aquifer Recharge.--Reclamation is directed to work closely with project beneficiaries to identify and resolve any barriers to aquifer recharge projects when appropriate while utilizing full authority to prioritize funds for ongoing projects through completion. Of the funds recommended in this account above the budget request, $25,000,000 shall be for Aquifer Storage and Recovery projects focused on ensuring sustainable water supply and protecting water quality of aquifers in the Great Plains Region with shared or multi-use aquifers for municipal, agricultural irrigation, industrial, recreation and domestic users. Boulder Canyon Project, Dam Fund.--The committee is aware of the challenges that the Hoover Dam site cleanup maintenance costs place on the ratepayers. The Committee encourages Reclamation to work with the ratepayers towards a solution within applicable laws. Reclamation is directed to brief the Committee within 60 days of enactment on the challenges, legal obstacles, and potential solutions related to the cleanup. CALFED Water Storage Feasibility Studies.--The Committee strongly encourages Reclamation to expeditiously complete financial assistance projects requested by the non-Federal sponsors of the CALED water storage projects to help the projects. The Committee finds it unacceptable that these agreements have been under study for over 15 years. Columbia Basin Project.--The Committee is aware of the Odessa Groundwater Replacement Program within the Columbia Basin Project to deliver surface water to the Odessa Subarea. The Subarea groundwater is being withdrawn at a rate beyond the aquifer's capacity to recharge, and aquifers in the Subarea are quickly declining. The Committee supports Reclamation's partnership in the program to provide farmlands in Central and Eastern Washington with surface water supply through operational changes in the storage and delivery system and urges Reclamation to move forward to implement the program. Drought Contingency Plans.--The Committee commends Reclamation, the Department of the Interior, and the seven Colorado River Basin states for completing drought contingency plans to conserve water and reduce risks from ongoing drought for the Upper and Lower Colorado River basins. The completion of these plans mark a major milestone in protecting a critical water source in the western United States. The Committee encourages Reclamation to provide sufficient funding for activities that support these plans. Friant-Kern Canal.--The Committee encourages the Secretary to include funding in future budget submissions for construction activities related to projects found to be feasible by the Secretary and which are ready to initiate for the repair of critical Reclamation canals where operational conveyance capacity has been seriously impaired by factors such as age or land subsidence, especially those that would imminently jeopardize Reclamation's ability to meet water delivery obligations. Klamath Basin Project.--The Committee encourages the Bureau to continue to collaborate agreements with state agencies to support groundwater monitoring efforts in the Klamath Basin. Navajo-Galllup Water Supply Project.--The Committee remains interested in the progress on this critical project as Reclamation works to meet the December 2024 completion date. Reclamation is directed to brief the Committee within 90 days after enactment of this act, detailing the timeline and cost for the remaining work. Research and Development: Desalination and Water Purification Program.--Of the funding recommended for this program, $12,000,000 shall be for desalination projects as authorized in section 4009(a) of Public Law 114-322. Rural Water Projects.--Voluntary funding in excess of legally required cost shares for rural water projects is acceptable but shall not be used by Reclamation as a criterion for allocating additional funding recommended by the Committee or for budgeting in future years. Safety of Dams Act Cost Share.--The Committee reminds Reclamation that not more than 15 percent of dam safety modification project costs can be allocated for reimbursement to all project purposes and all beneficiaries consistent with Section 4 of Public Law 95-578, as amended. Salton Sea.--The Committee supports the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Department of the Interior and the California Natural Resources Agency to support management activities at the Salton Sea. The Committee encourages Reclamation to partner with Federal, state, and local agencies and coordinate use of all existing authorities and funding sources to support the State of California's Salton Sea Management Program and reduce the likelihood of severe health and environmental impacts.

Within available funds, not less than $4,000,000 is recommended for initiatives that seek to address the decline in forest-based economies throughout the region, $5,000,000 is recommended for broadband initiatives, and $1,000,000 is recommended for the State Capacity Building Grant Program authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill, provided that the funds support dedicated in-state resources focused on NBRC programs. The Committee notes the importance of ensuring that infrastructure assets are designed, built and operated to account for the climate changes that may occur over their lifetime. Therefore, the Committee directs the Commission to develop criteria for the prioritization of projects that demonstrate evidence of planning for climate resiliency, which will help reduce direct losses or indirect costs of disruption due to climate-related risks. The Committee supports the work of the Commission to develop rural community indicators. Once these publicly available and community-specific resilience indicators are fully developed, the NBRC is encouraged to use them in informing investment opportunities.

Advanced Nuclear Reactor Regulatory Infrastructure.--The recommendation includes $23,000,000 for the development of regulatory infrastructure for advanced nuclear technologies, which is not subject to the Commission's general fee recovery collection requirements. The Committee encourages the Commission to incorporate nuclear safeguards and security requirements into its development of the advanced reactor regulatory infrastructure and to work with the Department of Energy, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and other groups in the formulation of its licensing requirements. Budget Execution Plan.--The Commission is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 30 days after enactment of this act a specific budget execution plan. The plan shall include details at the product line level within each of the control points. Rulemaking.--The Commission shall list all planned rulemaking activities, including their priority, schedule, and actions taken to adhere to the backfit rule, in the annual budget request and the semi-annual report to Congress on licensing and regulatory activities. Integrated University Program.--The Commission is directed to use $16,000,000 of prior year, unobligated balances for the Integrated University Program, including for grants to support research projects that do not align with programmatic missions but are critical to maintaining the discipline of nuclear science and engineering. Because the Commission has already collected fees corresponding to these activities in prior years, the Committee does not include these funds within the fee base calculation for determining authorized revenues, and does not provide authority to collect additional offsetting receipts for their use. Accident Tolerant Fuels Program.--The Committee is encouraged by recent progress regarding lead test assemblies in the accident tolerant fuel [ATF] program. The Commission is directed to submit a report to the Committee on the preparedness for ATF licensing with a focus on what steps are being taken to ensure that licensing activities (including higher burnup and enrichment) support projected deployment schedules. Re-Evaluation of Nuclear Medicine Event Reporting.-- Evidence shows that certain nuclear medicine extravasations may exceed medical event reporting provided in 10 C.F.R. Part 35 Subpart M. These events may harm patients through unintended radiation exposure, compromised imaging that negatively affects care, additional interventional procedures, and repeated imaging procedures. The Committee continues to encourage the Commission to consider the inclusion of significant extravasations in medical event reporting to improve safety, quality, and transparency for patients, treating physicians, and the Commission itself.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money. As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the term ``congressionally directed spending item'' means a provision or report language included primarily at the request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality or congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process. For each item, a Member is required to provide a certification that neither the Member nor the Member's immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee on Appropriations (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/ congressionally-directed-spending-requests). Following is a list of congressionally directed spending items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
