PURPOSE

The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for
fiscal year 2024, beginning October 1, 2023 and ending
September 30, 2024, 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.

Subcommittee Hearings

To develop this recommendation, the Committee held two
budget hearings in April and May 2023 in connection with the
fiscal year 2024 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 $8,934,891,000 for the Corps of
Engineers [Corps]. The Committee's recommendation sets
priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure.

INTRODUCTION

The Corps' Civil Works mission is to provide quality,
responsive engineering services to the Nation in peace and war.
Approximately 25,000 civilians and about 240 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 emergency response to natural disasters.
The Corps' responsibilities include:
--Navigation systems, including 13,000 miles of coastal
navigation channels, 12,000 miles of inland waterways,
237 lock chambers, and 1,072 harbors, which handle over
2.3 billion tons of cargo annually;
--Flood risk management infrastructure, including 747 dams,
13,336 miles of levees, and multiple hurricane and
storm damage risk reduction projects along the coast;
--Municipal and industrial water supply storage at 135
projects spread across 26 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.

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 that was in place
prior to December 20, 2019.

BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL

The Committee has repeatedly supported Water Resources
Development Acts' [WRDA] directives, over several iterations,
and encouraged the Corps to implement beneficial use of dredged
material as part of the construction and maintenance of our
Nation's waterways. The Committee is aware the Chief of
Engineers released a program vision with a goal for the Corps
to advance the practice of beneficial use to 70 percent by
2030. The Committee applauds the Corps efforts to increase
beneficial use across the enterprise; however, the process
remains slow and primarily focused on operations and
maintenance activities and authorities. The Corps is directed
to provide the Committee with a list of projects that meet the
guidance on beneficial use and ensure annual maintenance
dredging of deep-draft navigation channels.

BUDGET STRUCTURE CHANGES

The fiscal year 2024 budget request for the Corps proposed
numerous structural changes, including two accounts-Harbor
Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF] and Inland Waterways Trust Fund
[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;
--Projects requested in the IWTF account are shown in the
Construction account;
--Dam safety modification studies requested in the
Investigations account are shown in the Dam Safety and
Seepage/Stability Correction Program in the
Construction account;
--Disposition studies will continue to be funded under the
remaining item line Disposition of Completed Projects
in the Investigations account;
--Dredged material management plans requested in the
Investigations account are shown in the Operation and
Maintenance account;
--Interagency and International Support activities is not
consolidated within the Coordination with Other Water
Resource Agencies remaining item in Investigations;
--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;
--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; and
--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 item line in the Construction account, and
these amounts may also be used to cover necessary
administrative expenses prior to agreement execution.
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.

COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY

The Committee appreciates the work of the Corps, Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Bonneville Power
Administration, in coordination with the Department of State,
on the Columbia River Treaty, and notes that the Department of
State continues to negotiate the Columbia River Treaty with
Canada. The Corps, Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power
Administration are directed to brief the Committee, in a
classified setting and in coordination with the Department of
State, no later than 60 days after enactment of this act on the
execution plan for a modernized agreement, including matters
relating to flood control operations, power generation, and
ecosystem restoration, as applicable. Further, no later than 90
days after enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide the
Committee with an updated classified detailed assessment, in
coordination with the Department of State, of its funding
requirements and plan for post-fiscal year 2023 flood control
operations as dictated by the Columbia River Treaty.

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 recommended 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.
The Committee is deeply disappointed that the
Administration chose not to recommend funding for the new
starts that were previously funded with congressionally
directed spending. This lack of funding is baffling,
particularly when some of the new work recommended in the
budget has no identified non-Federal partner. However, the work
funded through congressionally directed spending has been
authorized by Congress and was requested by project sponsors
and local communities, displaying the importance of the work to
the American people. Consequently, the Corps is strongly
encouraged to prioritize these ongoing studies and projects,
both in the work plan and future budget requests.

CONTINUING CONTRACTS

The Corps is authorized by section 621 of title 33, United
States Code to execute Civil Works projects through the use of
a Special Continuing Contract Clause as described in Engineer
Circulars 11-2-221 and 11-2-222, and the Incremental Funding
Clause [DFARS 252.2327-7007]. 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
continue 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.

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.

ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES

The authorities identifying economically disadvantaged
communities allow for a reduced, more manageable non-Federal
cost share, providing a vital tool for assisting these
communities. The execution of these authorities will require a
greater Federal cost share. The Corps is directed to provide
the Committee with the work plan and future budget requests, a
list of studies and projects with adjusted cost share using
this definition and the applicable cost share.

HARBOR MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND

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. This funding enables the Corps to
make significant progress on the backlog of dredging needs
which is essential to maintaining national competitiveness in
international markets, advancing economic development and
domestic job creation. Unfortunately, the budget request this
year fails to adequately fund our Nation's harbors. The
Committee is disappointed the fiscal year 2024 budget request
only proposes to spend $1,726,000,000 for HMTF-related
activities, which is $1,044,946,000 below the spending target
of $2,770,946,000 established by the CARES Act.
Additionally, WRDA 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 $58,000,000 for donor and
energy transfer ports. The Committee is disappointed the budget
included none of this funding and encourages the Corps to
include funding for this program in future budget requests.

INLAND WATERWAYS SYSTEM

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.
Congress continues to invest in inland waterway projects
and fully funded all ongoing work to full capability in fiscal
year 2023. The Committee is disappointed and perplexed by the
budget request's proposal to not spend any of the estimated
deposits in the IWTF. The importance of modernizing inland
waterway infrastructure is essential to the Nation's economy.

INVASIVE CARP

The Corps is undertaking multiple efforts to stop invasive
carp from reaching the Great Lakes. The Committee notes that
Congress authorized a comprehensive suite of measures to
counter invasive carp at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam,
critical to keeping invasive carp out of the Chicago Area
Waterways System, which is the only continuous connection
between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. The
Committee is disappointed the budget request does not include
funding for the Brandon Road Lock and Dam, Aquatic Nuisance
Species Barrier project.
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; the development, consideration, and implementation of
new technological and structural countermeasures; and progress
on preconstruction, engineering, and design 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 and
other Federal and State agencies are conducting ongoing
research on additional potential invasive carp solutions. The
Corps is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 30
days after enactment of this act a briefing on such navigation
protocols and potential solutions.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING

The Committee recommends funding above the budget request
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 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 2024.
Funding associated with each category of Additional Funding
may be allocated as appropriate, to any eligible study or
project within that category; funding associated with each
subcategory may be allocated only to eligible studies or
projects, 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 2024 and the specific reasons each study
or project was considered less competitive for 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. 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.
New Starts.--The Committee includes the five new start
Investigations studies and one new start Construction project
in the budget request without change. The Committee also
includes new starts in Investigations and Construction.
However, the Committee reminds the Administration that only new
starts with a willing and able non-Federal sponsor should be
recommended in the budget request.
The recommendation also includes four new starts in
Investigations and one in Construction. Of the new starts in
Investigations, three shall be for flood and storm damage
reduction studies that were authorized in WRDA 2022 and are in
States that had a Federal Disaster Emergency declared in 2022;
and one shall be for a Section 216 navigation study. The new
construction start shall be for flood and storm damage
reduction. No further new starts are recommended in this act.
The Corps is directed to propose a single group of new starts
as a part of the work plan. The Corps may not change or
substitute the new starts selected once the work plan has been
provided to the Committee.
The following shall not require a new start or new
investment decision and shall be considered ongoing work:
--To initiate work on a separable element of a project when
construction of one or more separable elements of that
project was initiated previously;
--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.

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 amount and unobligated balances by year for salaries,
travel, and other expenses funded in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) account,
including any prior year appropriations. The Committee is
disappointed an increase in funding was recommended in the
budget for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Civil Works) while this report has yet to be provided.

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).

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 2024 for a particular project can change for a number of
unforeseen reasons. The Committee expects updated capabilities
will be addressed and adjusted using the latest data available
at that time.

*Includes funds requested in Projects Listed Under States within this
account.
Funded in remaining items.
Funded in another account.

Arkansas Red River Chloride.--The Committee rejects the
budget request to fund a disposition study of this project.
Cahokia Heights & East St. Louis, Illinois.--The Committee
supports the ongoing Flood Hazard Analysis in the Ping Pong
area of Cahokia Heights and East St. Louis, Illinois. The
analysis will provide valuable information to these
historically disadvantaged communities about the root causes of
flooding, as well as recommendations and cost estimates for
improvements to alleviate future flooding. The Committee
understands the analysis will be completed in 2023 and
encourages the Corps to continue working with communities in
Cahokia Heights and East St. Louis on future efforts in
expanded areas.
Chicago Shoreline.--The Committee reiterates the WRDA 2020
Conference Report, which requires the Chicago Shoreline to be a
focus area of the Great Lakes Resiliency Study.
Inventory of Dams--Low-Head Dam Inventory.--The Committee
is pleased with the Corps' initial efforts to develop a low-
head dam inventory and recommends additional funding of
$400,000 to continue database development and scoping of future
needs.
Flood Policy in Urban Areas.--The Committee has continually
requested the Flood Policy in Urban Areas report as detailed in
section 1211 of America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018
(Public Law 115-270) [AWIA 2018]. The Committee understands the
report has been under review for months and directs the Corps
to provide the report within 45 days of enactment of this act.
Port of Port Townsend Breakwater.--The Committee strongly
encourages the Corps to work with Port of Port Townsend to
evaluate the existing breakwater and a future Section 216
study.
Research and Development--Biopolymers.--The Committee
recommends $6,000,000 of additional funding to complete
research on the use of biopolymers to rehabilitate, maintain,
and increase resiliency of civil works structures against
potential threats.
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 complete
the ongoing effort 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. The Committee expects this work to contribute to
existing operations and maintenance activities.
Research and Development--Innovative Materials.--The
Committee understands the Corps is utilizing funding provided
in fiscal year 2023 to conduct a study on innovative materials
and understands the report will be completed in 2025. The Corps
is directed to brief the Committee within 60 days of the start
of the study on the scope and schedule for the report.
Research and Development--Manage Emerging Threats and
Resilience for Flood Control Structures.--The Corps is
encouraged to research, test, and refine the use of rapid,
repeatable, and remote methods for long-term monitoring of
critical water infrastructure and to partner with academia to
research and manage emerging threats and attain resilience for
flood control structures.
Research and Development--Polymer Composites.--The Corps is
directed to provide to the Committees not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act a briefing on the progress of the
report funded by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act [IIJA]
(Public Law 117-58) and future work to be undertaken on this
effort.
Research and Development--Subsurface Drains.--The Committee
encourages the Corps to fund research and development
opportunities of subsurface drain systems as part of an
integrated modeling system for consideration of future
potential flood risk or coastal storm risk reduction measures
in project development.
River Basin Commissions.--The Corps is reminded of the
commitment to cost share with the Susquehanna River Basin
Commission, the Delaware River Basin Commission, and the
Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. The Committee
encourages the Corps to recommend funding in future budget
submissions.
South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River.--The
Committee strongly encourages the Corps and the Environmental
Protection Agency to continue interagency discussions on a
project management structure that will limit the Corps
liabilities and allow the project to move to construction.
Shore Protection Easements.--The Committee notes the
importance of periodic restoration of shore protection projects
and their significance for the protection of public safety,
public infrastructure, native vegetation and wildlife, as well
as economic stability in oceanfront communities. The Committee
understands the challenges facing local governments in
obtaining necessary approvals for 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.
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, AL and MS and Black Warrior
and Tombigbee Rivers Deepening Study.--The Committee is
disappointed that more progress has not been made on the study
and encourages the Corps to expedite the process to determine
the remaining course of action on the study.
Upper Rio Grande Basin.--The Committee recognizes the
ecological, economic, cultural, and historic importance of the
Upper Rio Grande Basin, including the Heron, El Vado, Abiquiu,
Cochiti, Jemez Canyon, Elephant Butte, and Caballo Dams and
Reservoirs. The increasing stress on water supply requires a
comprehensive approach with the Bureau of Reclamation on water
and reservoir management, operation issues, and climate
resiliency within the Upper Rio Grande Basin. Accordingly, the
Corps is directed to brief the Committee within 90 days of the
enactment of this act on existing authorities that can be used
for collaboration and future work that can be done.
Western Everglades Restoration Project [WERP].--The
Committee notes that the Federal cost share for construction
and operation of all essential and necessary water quality
features of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan
[CERP] is authorized to be 50 percent. Further, the Committee
is aware that stormwater treatment areas constructed under the
CERP were determined integral to the Federal project and
constructed under a 50-50 cost share. The Corps is reminded
that stormwater treatment areas and other features found
integral to the Federal project, including within the WERP,
should be constructed consistent with the statutory cost share.
Further, the Corps is strongly encouraged to expeditiously
complete the WERP study.
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 shall include appropriate funding in future budget
submissions for new feasibility studies initiated in fiscal
year 2024.
Additionally, the Corps shall comply with the following
direction in allocating funds recommended for Investigations:
--The Corps shall consider completing or accelerating ongoing
studies, that will enhance the Nation's economic
development, job growth, and international
competitiveness; are located in areas that have
suffered recent natural disasters; protect life and
property; or address legal requirements; and
--The Corps is urged to consider any national security
benefits a project may provide.

PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND DESIGN

Appropriations, 2023....................................................
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $47,024,000

The Committee recommends $47,024,000 for Planning,
Engineering, and Design. Funding in this account is used for
plans and specifications prior to construction and related
activities for water resources development projects having
navigation, flood and storm damage reduction, water supply,
hydroelectric, environmental restoration, and other attendant
benefits to the Nation.
The Committee recognizes the challenges facing the Corps,
including the growing complexity of water resources development
projects leading to an increasing frequency of multi-billion
dollar projects while balancing limited resources. The
Committee is also aware of the Corps' efforts to make risk-
informed decisions in order to comply with study duration and
cost requirements, which have led to increased construction
cost contingencies as more work is delayed to Planning,
Engineering, and Design. Unfortunately, the Corps' increasing
willingness to move projects into construction with minimal
design contributes to increased costs over the duration of
construction, which then impacts the ability of the Committee
and non-Federal sponsors to effectively plan resources.
Frankly, designing a construction project while also
constructing it should be the exception not the rule. Critical
efficiencies in contracting and workload balancing are lost or
never realized because the full project is not quantified at
the outset.
Therefore, the Committee has created this new account to
combat some of the challenges facing the Corps and non-Federal
sponsors. The Committee fully supports more expedient
construction of water resources development projects because
such projects provide protection to the public, environment,
and positively impact the economy. However, more extensive
design work is needed before a new construction start to
provide more assurance of project scope, challenges, and cost
estimates to both the Committee and non-Federal sponsors.
Considering the Corps has yet to submit the Construction
Funding Schedules report that has been previously and
repeatedly required by the Committee, it is anticipated that
the work completed within this account will allow a greater
understanding of the current 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. A new
start or construction authorization shall not be required to
move a project from Investigations to Planning, Engineering,
and Design.

Project Cost Updates.--The Committee is aware that the
Corps has a policy that requires regular updates of the
economics and costs of authorized projects that have not yet
received construction funds, but such updates are not feasible
without funds. The lasting impacts of delinquent updates has
become apparent with recent supplemental projects as certain
project cost estimates were stale causing significant cost
escalations. Funding is included for updates to authorized
projects that have not received Construction funds where those
updates are necessary to recertify project costs or verify
economic justification.
Additional Funding.--Of the additional funding recommended,
$7,000,000 shall be for Flood Risk Management Planning,

the authorities granted to it under the Advanced Measures
program to mitigate the impacts of high water levels in the
Great Lakes Basin.
Aquatic Plant Control Program.--Of the funding recommended
for the Aquatic Plant Control Program, $7,200,000 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. Additionally,
$13,000,000 shall be for watercraft inspection stations and
rapid response as authorized in section 104 of the River and
Harbor Act of 1958, subsections (d)(1)(A)(i), (d)(1)(A)(ii),
(d)(1)(A)(iii), and (d)(1)(A)(iv); and related monitoring.
Finally, $6,300,000 shall be to address infestations of
hydrilla in Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River basins.
The Corps is encouraged to consider the benefits of
establishing a rapid response task force to cover the
multistate watershed.
Aquatic Plant Control Program--Mississippi River Basin.--
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 continue planning, designing, initial
engineering and project management activities for construction
of carp barriers in the Mississippi River Basin and the
Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway.
Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The Committee
encourages the Corps to prioritize issuing updated
implementation guidance for a renewed solicitation of section
1122 Beneficial Use of Dredged Material project proposals.
Additional funding of $500,000 is recommended to execute the
beneficial use of dredged material at Tangier Island as a
section 1122 project. The Corps is directed to brief the
Committee prior to any effort to solicit or select any
additional pilot projects as authorized by AWIA 2018.
Bird Drive Basin Conveyance, Seepage Collection, and
Recharge.--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. This work is intended
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 this
important element of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration
Plan.
Brandon Road.--The Committee reminds the Corps to ensure
the Brandon Road project is in full compliance with Illinois
State laws, including completion of all State permitting
requirements. The Committee encourages the Corps and the State
of Illinois to expeditiously address any remaining real estate
acquisition and remediation issues.
Cape Cod Canal Bridges, Massachusetts.--The legislative
proposal to facilitate the transfer of funds to State and local
agencies is not included in the bill. The Committee directs the
Corps to provide a briefing not later than 30 days after
enactment of this act on the plan to use the funds for
rehabilitating or replacing the Cape Cod Canal Bridges.
Central Everglades Planning Project.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of restoring America's Everglades,
and strongly encourages the Corps to expedite the required
validation reports for PPA North. The Committee strongly
encourages 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.
Charleston Harbor.--The funding is recommended for
reimbursement of the advanced funds provided by the non-Federal
sponsor to cover the Federal share of the cost of the National
Economic Development plan. The Committee is aware the non-
Federal sponsor may be eligible for additional reimbursement in
the future. Consistent with section 8362 of WRDA 2022, the
Corps is encouraged to expeditiously complete the required
close out activities to ensure timely reimbursement to the non-
Federal sponsor.
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier,
Illinois.--No funds recommended in this act may be used for
construction of hydrologic separation measures.
Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends
$53,000,000 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.
Environmental Infrastructure.--Of the additional funding
recommended, not less than $11,000,000 shall be for a multi-
State environmental infrastructure program. 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.
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.
Kentucky Lock and Dam, Kentucky.--The Committee remains
concerned about major delays on construction projects,
particularly the Kentucky Lock and Dam, which was provided
funding by IIJA, and the Administration stated will physically
complete and fiscally close out the project. The Corps is
strongly urged to expedite construction.
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System [MKARNS].--
The Committee recognizes the importance of the MKARNS as an
established Marine Highway for waterborne commerce to include
agriculture and aggregate commodities (sand, gravel, and rock)
from the Gulf Coast to the Mid-West. Deepening the MKARNS to a
consistent 12-foot navigation channel will provide tow drafts
that are more compatible with navigation on the Mississippi
River, which will reduce inefficient barge operations and
transportation costs.
The Committee understands the Corps has allocated funding
to complete preconstruction, engineering, and design work and
begin construction and urges the Corps to prioritize this
project in fiscal year 2024 to accelerate construction. The
Committee continues to encourage the Corps to provide funds for
nonstructural 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.
Lastly, 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.
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 water levels for existing activities and functions
are maintained, as detailed in section 1319 of the WIIN Act.
Riverbank Erosion.--The Committee encourages the Corps to
prioritize projects to stabilize the Indiana shoreline of the
Ohio River damaged by the operation of federally-owned dams on
the Ohio River as authorized in section 9 of the 1946 Flood
Control Act (33 USC 701q).
Restoration of Abandoned Mine Sites, Tribal Partnerships.--
The Committee recognizes that abandoned and inactive hardrock
mine sites in the western United States pose water quality
challenges for tribal communities and that many Tribes have
struggled to receive adequate assistance to identify and
remediate risks. In fiscal year 2023 the Corps was provided
additional funds to develop an action plan to proactively
engage with tribal communities in the western United States.
The Committee understands the action plan will be completed in
2024 and directs the Corps to brief the Committee no later than
90 days after enactment of this act the progress of the plan.
Following the completion of the action plan, the Corps is
further directed to brief the Committee on its recommendations.
South Florida Ecosystem Restoration [SFER].--The Committee,
Department of the Interior, and non-Federal project sponsors
rely on accurate and timely budget information for SFER
projects from the Corps. For fiscal year 2024, the Committee
directs the Corps to ensure the accuracy of all budget
justification sheets that inform SFER Integrated Financial Plan
documents by September 30, 2024.
Tribal Partnership Program.--The Committee recognizes the
value of the Corps Tribal Partnership Program, which provides a
framework that supports collaborative work with federally
recognized Tribes to solve complex water resources problems,
build trust between the U.S. government and Tribal nations,
develop more effective Corps business practices, and increase
stakeholder buy-in for strategic planning impacting Corps'
watershed management and environmental stewardship. The
Committee recommends additional funding for the Tribal
Partnership Program, with discretion given to the Corps to
manage projects appropriately as it balances workload within
districts, coordinates cost-share agreements, and executes
other programmatic responsibilities in accordance with the
program's intent and authorities.
Unified Facilities Guide Specifications.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of the Unified Facilities Guide
Specifications, but remains concerned that it references
building materials that no longer exist. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Corps to update the Unified Facilities
Guide Specifications and ensure references to lower-carbon
cements including portland-limestone cement, are included as
appropriate. The Committee supports the use of lower-carbon
building materials to reduce the environmental footprint of
infrastructure projects.
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.
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
funding recommended in this account for flood and storm damage
reduction and flood control, $20,000,000 shall be to continue
construction of projects that principally address drainage in
urban areas.
When allocating the additional funding recommended 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 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 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.

Completion of the Mississippi River and Tributaries
Project.--The Committee appreciates the efforts to complete the
Mississippi River and Tributaries [MR&T] project to the
authorized Federal design. The Committee understands an
economic update is underway on the Mississippi River Main Stem.
The Corps is directed to provide to the Committee not later
than 60 days after enactment of this act a briefing on the
economic update and completion status of the MR&T system.
Lower Mississippi River Main Stem.--The budget request
proposes to consolidate several activities across multiple
States into one 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.

*Includes funds requested in other accounts.
Requested in remaining items.
Funded under projects listed under states.

Advanced Maintenance.--The Committee recognizes that many
ports have draft limitations that restrict their ability to
receive large container vessels. To assure maximum capabilities
of the Nation's Federal shipping channels to support global
commerce and to deliver near term supply chain solutions, the
Committee urges the Corps to use available authorities,
including advanced maintenance, to alleviate navigation
restrictions in the Nation's Federal channels.
Aquatic Nuisance Control Research.--The additional funding
recommended in the Aquatic Nuisance Control Research remaining
item is to supplement and advance Corps activities to address
Harmful Algal Blooms 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. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to develop next
generation ecological models to maintain inland and
intracoastal waterways and $5,000,000 to 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 unmanned aerial
system based detection, monitoring, and mapping of invasive
aquatic plant species.
Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance
[FEM].--The Committee understands the Corps has completed the
report required in section 6002 of the WRRDA of 2014, but the
report remains under review. The Corps is directed to provide
the report within 60 days of enactment of this act.
Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance
[FEM]--Structural Health Monitoring.--Of the funding
recommended, $5,000,000 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.
Coastal Inlets Research Program.--The Committee understands
that communities, infrastructure, and resources tied to coastal
regions are vulnerable to damage from extreme coastal events
and long-term coastal change. Funding in addition to the budget
request is recommended for Corps led, multi-university efforts
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 [NOAA] National Water
Center on protecting the Nation's water resources.
Coastal Ocean Data System [CODS].--The Committee is
disappointed the budget did not recommend adequate funding for
the base CODS programs and recommends $10,500,000 to continue
these efforts. Additionally, no less than $6,500,000 shall be
for long-term coastal wave and coastal sediment observations,
research, and data products that support sustainable coastal
and navigation projects.
Cuyahoga River Old Channel Remediation.--The Committee is
pleased that progress is being made to remediate the Cuyahoga
River Old Channel. As the Corps completes the design report the
Corps is encouraged to consider and incorporate opportunities
for community economic development into the final design.
Donor & Energy Transfer Ports.--The Committee directs the
Corps to allocate any work plan HMTF funding for Donor and
Energy Transfer Ports consistent with section 102 and section
104 of WRDA 2020 (Public Law 116-260). The Corps is reminded
that Donor and Energy Transfer Ports are eligible to receive
additional funding recommended in the deep-draft harbor and
channel funding line for expanded uses.
Dredging Operations Technical Support Program [DOTS].--The
Committee recommends additional funds for DOTS to support the
research and application of artificial intelligence, machine
learning, and advanced modeling capabilities to improve
streamflow forecasting for channel shoaling and dredging to
help reduce interruptions in waterborne inland commerce as a
result of flooding and other silting activities.
Engineering With Nature [EWN].--The Committee is impressed
with the positive impact on the environment 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. The Committee encourages the Corps to
explore coastal restoration optimized for blue carbon
CO2 sequestration as appropriate. Funding under this
line item is intended for EWN activities having a national or
regional scope or that 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.
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. 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. Of the
funding recommended, $7,500,000 is to support research and
development of natural infrastructure solutions for the
Nation's bays and estuaries, to design innovative nature-based
infrastructure with landscape architecture, coastal modeling,
and engineering.
Inland Water Navigation Charts.--Of the funding recommended
$2,000,000 shall be for the eHydro program to modernize and
enhance the distribution of the navigation charts, and an
additional $2,000,000 shall be to support the transition of the
National Dredging Quality Management Program's automated
dredging monitoring data to a cloud environment.
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 collaborating with the Department of the
Navy to ensure regular maintenance dredging of the Kennebec.
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Targets.--The Committee is
disappointed that the Corps has twice failed to recommend HMTF
work to meet the section 102 WRDA 2020 targets. The Committee
is perplexed the Corps did not put a single dollar towards the
donor and energy port target in the fiscal year 2023 work plan.
Donor and energy ports are critical to our National supply
chain and stable HTMF funding for expanded uses is fundamental
to maintaining international competitiveness. This funding can
assist with capital improvements at these critical ports which
already pay a significant share of the collected tax. The
Committee expects the Corps to meet the donor and energy target
in the fiscal year 2024 work plan and include the funding in
future budget submissions.
Similarly, the Great Lakes Navigation System [GLNS] is the
backbone of our Nation's manufacturing, industrial, building,
and agricultural economies. Each year, more than 175 million
tons of commodities are carried through the GLNS. The Committee
is pleased the Corps met the target in fiscal year 2023 and
strongly encourages the continued investment in this critical
water system. Finally, in conjunction with the fiscal year 2024
work plan the Corps is directed to provide the Committee a list
of all projects, expanded uses, and HMTF funding amounts for
each section 102 WRDA target.
Levee Rehabilitation Projects in the Northwestern
Division.--The Committee is concerned with the high number of
levees in need of repair across the Northwestern Division,
particularly in the Seattle District area of responsibility. Of
the funding recommended for Other Authorized Project Purposes,
$200,000 shall be for the Corps to provide a report no later
than 1 year after enactment of this act outlining potential
solutions and associated costs for developing a programmatic
tool to address levee projects located on the same river basin.
The report shall identify existing authorities that could be
utilized to develop a levee rehabilitation program, as well as
barriers to execution of such a program, and recommend
additional authorities and programmatic solutions that are
necessary to implement a levee rehabilitation program.
Specifically, the report should include an analysis of the
feasibility of a programmatic Endangered Species Act [ESA]
consultation on subsets of levee projects and an analysis of
additional staffing or training needs necessary to efficiently
move projects forward. Subject to appropriate funds transfer
authority, funds recommended may be transferred to U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to
assist in the preparation of the report, as participation from
these agencies is necessary for success. Finally, the
feasibility of programmatic compliance with other major laws
such as the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act,
and section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is
also encouraged. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee
within 60 days of enactment of this act on the plan for
executing this report.
Mobile Bay Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The
Committee recognizes the critical importance of periodic
shoreline restoration and beach nourishment, and their
significance in supporting public safety and protecting
underserved communities, public infrastructure, native
vegetation and wildlife, and the local economy. The Committee
encourages the Corps to examine beneficial uses of dredged
material in Mobile Bay, Alabama, to include Dauphin Island as a
potential beneficial use site.
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.
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 2023
level. The goal of the continued funding is to support the
ongoing research. Of the funding recommended $4,000,000 shall
be to expand the research to assist the Corps across all
waterways, lock structures, lock operation methods, and fish
species that will more fully inform the Corps' operations.
Additionally, funding of $2,000,000 is recommended for the
National Information Collaboration on Ecohydraulics effort by
the Corps to expand, on a national basis, the ongoing research
on the impact of reduced lock operations on riverine fish.
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. While the Corps has completed an initial report
focused on the New England area, the report is not complete. Of
the funding recommended for Response to Climate Change,
$700,000 shall be for this report.
Regional Sediment Management.--Additional funding of
$600,000 is recommended for cooperation and coordination with
the Great Lakes States to develop sediment transport models for
Great Lakes tributaries that discharge to Federal navigation
channels.
Regional Sediment Management--Geophysical Modeling.--Rising
sea levels and the increasing severity and frequency of weather
events continues to impact coastlines, rivers, and related
habitats. The Committee understands $3,000,000 was recommended
in the budget for these efforts and recommends additional
funding of $1,000,000 to continue research using geophysical
computational modeling.
Rehabilitation of Pump Stations.--The Committee understands
that section 8152 of WRDA 2022 allows the Corps to carry out
rehabilitation of eligible pump stations. The Committee
encourages the Corps to expeditiously move out on determining
eligible pump stations and request adequate funding to
rehabilitate such pumps.
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 remains
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.
Surveillance of Northern Boundary Waters.--The Corps
supports activities related to the Boundary Waters Treaty
between the U.S. and Canada via participation in binational
boards established by the International Joint Commission,
including monitoring of hydrologic conditions, leading outreach
and engagement, and collecting data related to boundary and
transboundary water levels and flows. The Committee is
concerned that the Corps has repeatedly reduced the funding
requests for such work in the Surveillance of Northern Boundary
Waters line item. The Corps is highly encouraged to include
appropriate funding in future budget submissions for these
activities.
Tenkiller Ferry Lake.--The Committee is encouraged by the
Corps' effort to use flows out of the surge tank to feed the
fishery downstream of the Tenkiller Ferry Lake, and strongly
encourages the Corps to complete the ongoing assessment as soon
as possible.
Water Operations Technical Support--Forecast Informed
Reservoir Operations [FIRO].--The Committee is pleased with the
results of FIRO Phases 1 and 2 and eagerly anticipates the
expansion of the program into 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.
Water Operations Technical Support--Urban Flood Damage
Reduction and Stream Restoration in Arid Regions.--The
Committee recommends additional funds of $3,500,000 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 water resources
systems to adapt to the implications of a changing climate. The
Corps shall continue its focus on addressing needs for
resilient water resources infrastructure.
Water Operations Technical Support--Water Control Manual
Updates.--The Committee recommends additional funding of
$2,000,000 for water control manual updates for non-Corps owned
high hazard dams 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.
Wildfire Resiliency.--The Committee is increasingly
concerned by the threat of wildfire to Corps projects and
encourages the Corps to continue and expand efforts to
implement wildfire mitigation projects at its facilities to
protect Federal property and neighboring communities. The
Committee encourages the Corps to consider vegetation control
and other resiliency measures to protect against the increasing
threat of wildfires.
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.
The Committee reminds the Corps that section 8132 of WRDA
2022 supports small and underserved harbors and encourages the
Corps to implement this new authority. 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;
--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 and maintenance projects that would substantially
increase beneficial uses of and provide supplementary
benefits to tributaries and waterways;
--Extent to which the work will promote recreation-based
benefits, including those created by recreational
boating;
--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, 2023.................................... $218,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 221,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 221,000,000

The Committee recommends $221,000,000 for the Regulatory
Program.
Mitigation Banking.--The Committee recognizes the impact of
limited resources on the processing of mitigation bank
applications, but remains concerned about delays across the
Corps in permitting of mitigation banks and approving
mitigation bank credit releases. The unique nature of
mitigation banks requires dedicated staff with the skills to
facilitate these permits efficiently and expeditiously. While
the Committee understands the influx of Federal infrastructure
projects due to the IIJA, it reminds the Corps it was given
additional resources to address the increased demand.
Unnecessary impediments in the mitigation bank approval
process can lead to significant delays and increased costs for
permittees of critical infrastructure, energy, commercial and
industrial development projects due to the lack of available
mitigation credits. The Committee urges the Corps to meet its
own regulatory review guidelines by expeditiously reviewing and
approving new mitigation bank projects in accordance with 33
CFR 332 and utilizing Corps Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 19-
01 to expedite credit releases when applicable. The Congress
has invested in this program and expects to see progress.
Permit Application Backlogs.--The Committee is concerned
about a growing backlog in the processing of regulatory permits
and the lack of adequate staffing to process existing permits.
The Committee encourages the Corps to appropriately staff
positions within the districts by hiring staff to process
permits instead of increasing management. The Corps is directed
to provide a report within 90 days of enactment of this act on
staffing levels and permit backlogs in each of the last 5
years, as well as a plan for rectifying the staffing shortages.
The Corps is also directed to brief the Committee on the
results of the report upon completion.
Shellfish Permitting.--The Committee recognizes the strain
of resources on the Corps to review and certify permitting
applications for Nationwide 48 permits for State specific
aquaculture activities. The Corps is directed to address
staffing shortages and reduce aquaculture permit application
backlogs, particularly in the Northwestern division. The Corps
is directed to brief the Committee no later than 45 days of
enactment of this act on the plan and progress of these
efforts.

FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $400,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 200,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 400,000,000

The Committee recommends $400,000,000 for the Formerly
Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. There are currently 18
sites with record of decisions that carry an estimated cost of
$3,000,000,000. Additionally, there are three other sites
without record of decisions where the rough estimate is
$500,000,000. When appropriate for large projects, the Corps is
encouraged to use continuing contracts for more cost and time
effective cleanup.

FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $35,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 40,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 35,000,000

The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for Flood Control and
Coastal Emergencies.

EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $215,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 212,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 212,000,000

The Committee recommends $212,000,000 for Expenses. No
funding is recommended for the 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 funds recommended in this account shall be used to
support implementation of the Corps' Civil Works program,
including hiring additional full time equivalents. 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 U.S. Army Manpower Analysis Agency
staffing analysis based on current Civil Works needs.

OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (CIVIL WORKS)

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 6,000,000
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 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, 2023.................................... $7,200,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 7,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,200,000

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT COMPLETION ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $23,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 19,556,000
Committee recommendation................................ 19,556,000

The Committee recommends $19,556,000 for the Central Utah
Project Completion Account, which includes $4,650,000 for the
Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Account for use by
the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission,
$1,750,000 for necessary expenses of the Secretary of the
Interior, and up to $1,990,000 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 $1,921,799,000 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 2024 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.

COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY

The Committee appreciates the work of the Corps,
Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration, in
coordination with the Department of State, on the Columbia
River Treaty, and notes that the Department of State continues
to negotiate the Columbia River Treaty with Canada. The Corps,
Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration are
directed to brief the Committee, in a classified setting and in
coordination with the Department of State, no later than 60
days after enactment of this act on the execution plan for a
modernized agreement, including matters relating to flood
control operations, power generation, and ecosystem
restoration, as applicable.

CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

DROUGHT RESILIENCY

The Committee remains intently focused on the need for
improving drought resiliency as well as finding opportunities
for agencies to combine water supply benefits with other
mission priorities. The impacts of the current severe drought
in the west demonstrate 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.

REPORTING REQUIREMENT

Reclamation 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.

WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $1,787,151,000
Budget estimate, 2024................................... 1,301,012,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,773,497,000

The Committee recommends $1,773,497,000 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.

RESOURCES................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anadromous Fish Screen Program.--The Committee appreciates
Reclamation's efforts to devote additional resources to
completing work on the last two remaining priority unscreened
diversions on the Sacramento River, which have been
specifically identified as priorities in the California Natural
Resources Agency Sacramento Valley Salmon Resiliency Strategy.
Of the funding recommended for Fish Passage and Fish Screens at
least $6,000,000 shall be for the Anadromous Fish Screen
Program.
Aging Infrastructure Program.--The Committee does not
support allowing increases or decreases in transfer amounts at
this time. The Committee is aware that the application
requirements for receiving IIJA funding from this account can
be cumbersome and delay funding for projects with multiple
beneficiaries. The Committee is concerned that these
requirements are creating unnecessary barriers for important
infrastructure projects in a time of unprecedented drought in
the west. The Committee directs Reclamation to remove
unnecessary barriers streamlining the process while ensuring
the repayment obligations of all funding recipients of this
account.
Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program.--The Committee
recommends an additional $5,500,000 for studies or projects
that will develop alternative pumping sites in a location to
produce multiple benefits including dewatering of river
segments, improved water quality, and reliable water delivery.
B.F. Sisk Dam.--The Committee is aware of seismic issues at
B.F. Sisk Dam and supports Reclamation's safety of dams
modification project to remediate this reservoir. Reclamation
is directed to work collaboratively with the State of
California to finalize a cost share agreement for the project
that accounts for the State of California's in-kind
contributions (including contributions elsewhere in the State)
and credits; and to work to ensure the B.F. Sisk Dam Safety of
Dams Modification project can move forward as expeditiously as
possible.
Colorado River Basin Report.--A train derailment along the
Colorado River could have significant impacts on the beneficial
uses of the river, the water itself, and the ecosystem.
Reclamation understanding and preparing for such an event is
critical. Of the additional funding recommended under the
heading ``Water Conservation and Delivery'', $300,000 shall be
for a report on the potential impacts on water resources from a
derailment of a train transporting hazardous material along the
Colorado River.
Colorado River Basin Collaboration.--The Committee
understands growing water-thrifty crops in the Colorado River
Basin could, if voluntarily planted by Basin farmers, help keep
agricultural lands in production and support rural economies
while adjusting to diminishing water supplies from the Colorado
River. The Committee directs Reclamation to provide a briefing
within 30 days of enactment of this act on the ability to
partner with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fund
research and provide technical support for this effort. The
briefing should identify existing authorities that could be
used and recommend additional authorities that would be
required.
Columbia Basin Project.--The Committee is aware that the
Odessa Ground Water Replacement Program within the Columbia
Basin Project delivers surface water to the Odessa Subarea but
the Subarea groundwater is being withdrawn at a rate beyond the
aquifer's capacity to recharge. The Committee supports
Reclamation's partnership in the Odessa Groundwater Replacement
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 marks 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.
Dry-Redwater, Montana.--The Committee strongly encourages
Reclamation to engage with the Dry-Redwater Regional Water
Authority to complete the feasibility study for the project
authorized in Public Law 116-260 by the end of 2023.
Friant-Kern Canal, San Luis Canal, Delta Mendota Canal.--Of
the additional funding recommended for planning,
preconstruction, or construction activities of critical
Reclamation canals, at least $5,000,000 shall be for the
Friant-Kern Canal, San Luis Canal, and Delta Mendota Canal.
Garrison Diversion Unit.--The Committee directs Reclamation
to brief the Committee within 45 days of enactment of this act
on how Reclamation accounts for costs related to compliance
with the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 under Public Law 89-
108, as modified by the Dakota Water Resources Act of 2000.
Ground Based Cloud Ionization.--The Committee understands
Reclamation is currently investing in winter-season orographic
cloud-seeding research and pilot activities in Colorado and the
lower Colorado Basin Region. The Committee strongly encourages
Reclamation to continue these pilots and look for opportunities
to expand these efforts.
Groundwater Recharge, Aquifer Storage, and Water
Substitution.--Section 40910 of the IIJA allows Reclamation to
provide financial and technical assistance for groundwater
recharge, aquifer storage and recovery, and water substitution
for aquifer protection projects. This assistance could help
communities throughout the West better tackle water storage and
conservation challenges by helping communities get innovative
projects off the ground. The Committee reminds Reclamation that
these activities are eligible for the additional funding
recommended.
Klamath A Canal.--The Committee is aware of the emergent
situation regarding seepage from the A Canal that appears to be
contributing to flooding in the local community. While the
Klamath Irrigation District has worked to identify temporary
fixes, Reclamation's expertise is needed to quickly rectify and
repair the immediate damage. Reclamation is directed to
evaluate if the current situation constitutes an emergency and
report the result to the Committee. Further, the Committee
understands the difficulty that repeated low water years has
placed on the Klamath Irrigation District, particularly how it
affects the ability to modernize infrastructure. Reclamation is
strongly encouraged to identify ways to provide non-
reimbursable financial support for modernization efforts for
irrigation districts without stable funding streams due to
persistent, prolonged drought.
Klamath Basin Project.--The Committee encourages
Reclamation to continue to collaborate on agreements with State
agencies to support groundwater monitoring efforts in the
Klamath Basin. The Committee is pleased that Reclamation
included additional funds under the Klamath project for the
Drought Response Agency. The Committee encourages Reclamation
to continue funding the Drought Response Agency at sufficient
levels.
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. Congress
also invested significant funds for desalination projects in
the IIJA yet administrative project cost caps can disadvantage
larger state of the art projects. The Committee understands
that as part of the implementation of the IIJA, funding
modifications to the current standards have been considered. In
line with those efforts Reclamation shall not impose
administrative project cost caps and shall use the statutory
limit of 25 percent Federal cost share for section 4009(a)
projects.
Research and Development: Science & Technology Program.--
Better snow modeling and estimates of snow water may improve
water resource decision-making, specifically for water
allocations and flood control. Within the Science and
Technology Program, $5,000,000 shall be for Reclamation's
Airborne Snow Observatory [ASO] Program to support
implementation of ASO flights. An additional $1,500,000 shall
be to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture and NOAA
efforts to improve real-time and derived snow water information
such that it can be immediately used for water resources
decision-making.
Rural Water Projects.--Voluntary funding in excess of
legally required cost shares for rural water projects is
acceptable but should not be used by Reclamation as a criterion
for allocating additional funding recommended by the Committee
or for budgeting in future years.
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 is pleased
Reclamation recently committed funding from the Inflation
Reduction Act to assist with Salton Sea mitigation. It is
critical that Reclamation continues to fund research and
development projects to support current and future efforts to
reduce the likelihood of severe health and environmental
impacts. The Committee encourages Reclamation to include
adequate funding for the Salton Sea in future budget requests
and reminds Reclamation additional work is eligible for
additional funding recommended in this account.
San Joaquin River Restoration.--Permanent appropriations,
available for the program in fiscal year 2024, shall not
supplant continued annual appropriations, and the Committee
encourages Reclamation to include adequate funding in future
budget submissions.
St. Mary's Diversion Dam and Conveyance Works.--The
Committee recognizes Reclamation's completion of the ability-
to-pay study assessing the cost share for rehabilitation work
done on the St. Mary's Project and notes the study found that
irrigators are unable to provide a local cost share for work on
the project. The Committee further appreciates Reclamation's
work to study and design rehabilitation options for the St.
Mary's Diversion and Headworks and the Fresno Dam, and
encourages Reclamation to complete this work as expeditiously
as possible.
WaterSMART Program.--The Committee encourages Reclamation
to prioritize environmental water resource projects and
eligible water conservation projects that will provide water
supplies to meet the needs of threatened and endangered
species.
WaterSMART Program: Open Evapotranspiration System.--The
Committee is intrigued by the evapotranspiration in the Central
Valley and California Delta to help measure how much water is
consumed by crops and other plants. Reclamation is encouraged
to utilize the Open Evapotranspiration system designed to
provide real-time and historical evapotranspiration
information, primarily on irrigated crop lands. Reclamation is
directed to provide to the Committee not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act a briefing on the potential
application of this system to Reclamation missions.
WaterSMART Program: Outreach.--Reclamation is strongly
encouraged to conduct additional outreach on opportunities
within the WaterSMART program. Specifically, Reclamation is
encouraged to conduct outreach in all non-contiguous States and
territories because of the unique water challenges in Hawaii,
Alaska, and Puerto Rico, as well as American Samoa, Guam, the
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Additionally, Reclamation is encouraged to conduct specific
outreach for the Cooperative Watershed Management program and
prioritize program investments in rural, historically
underserved, and Tribal communities, as these regions can have
less capacity to develop multi-benefit watershed projects.
Reclamation is directed to take additional steps to make the
program more accessible, including offering funding
opportunities more than once per year and streamlining the
application process.
WaterSMART Program: Title XVI Water Reclamation & Reuse
Program.--Of the funding recommended for this program, not less
than $20,000,000 shall be for water recycling and reuse
projects as authorized in section 4009(c) of the WIIN Act.
W.C. Austin Project.--The Committee encourages Reclamation
to expeditiously reimburse the Lugert-Altus Irrigation District
for expenses related to extraordinary maintenance for ongoing
design work on the gate replacement project per section 5944 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023
(Public Law 117-263).
Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project.--The
Committee strongly supports the Yakima River Basin Integrated
Water Resource Management Plan. This innovative water
management plan addresses water storage, water supply, fishery
and ecosystem restoration needs for agriculture, fish, and
municipalities within the Yakima River basin in central
Washington. The Committee encourages Reclamation to budget
appropriately for this work in order to move forward on
implementing authorized components of the plan and directs
Reclamation to accelerate implementation of the Yakima Basin
Integrated Plan projects within the funding recommended.
Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The Committee recommendation includes funds in addition to the
budget request for Water and Related Resources studies,
projects, and activities. Priority in allocating these funds
shall be given to advance and complete ongoing work, including
preconstruction activities, and where environmental compliance
has been completed; improve water supply reliability; improve
water deliveries; enhance national, regional, or local economic
development; promote job growth; advance Tribal and non-Tribal
water settlement studies and activities; or address critical
backlog maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Reclamation
is encouraged to allocate additional funding for aquifer
recharging efforts to address the ongoing backlog of related
projects. Reclamation is reminded that activities authorized
under Indian Water Rights Settlements are eligible to compete
for the additional funding under ``Water Conservation and
Delivery''. Reclamation shall allocate additional funding
recommended in this account consistent with the following
direction:
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery'', $134,000,000 shall
be for water storage projects as authorized in section
4007 of the WIIN Act.
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $50,000,000 shall
be for implementing the Drought Contingency Plan in the
Lower Colorado River Basin to create or conserve
recurring Colorado River water that contributes to
supplies in Lake Mead and other Colorado River water
reservoirs in the Lower Colorado Basin or projects to
improve the long-term efficiency of operations in the
Lower Colorado River Basin, consistent with the
Secretary's obligations under the Colorado River
Drought Contingency Plan Authorization Act of 2019
(Public Law 116-14) and related agreements. These water
conservation activities may include well construction
and irrigation-related structural or other measures;
programs and projects that result in conservation of
surface water or groundwater; or improve water system
efficiency, resiliency, reliability, delivery, and
conveyance, including canal system improvements. None
of these funds shall be used for the operation of the
Yuma Desalting Plant and nothing in this section shall
be construed as limiting existing or future
opportunities to augment the water supplies of the
Colorado River.
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' not less than
$20,000,000, shall be for planning, preconstruction, or
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.
--Of the additional funding recommended under the heading
``Environmental Restoration or Compliance'', not less
than $20,000,000 shall be for activities authorized
under sections 4001 and 4010 of the WIIN Act or as set
forth in Federal-State plans for restoring threatened
and endangered fish species affected by the operation
of Reclamation's water projects.

TITLE III

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Overview of Recommendation

The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting
the Office of Science and the Advanced Research Projects
Agency-Energy [ARPA-E], leading the world in scientific
computing, addressing the Federal Government's responsibility
for environmental cleanup and disposal of used nuclear fuel,
nonproliferation, effectively maintaining our nuclear weapons
stockpile, and supporting our nuclear Navy.

INTRODUCTION

The mission of the Department of Energy [Department] is to
ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its
energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through
transformative science and technology solutions. To accomplish
this mission, the Secretary of Energy [Secretary] relies on a
world-class network of national laboratories, private industry,
universities, States, and Federal agencies, which allows our
brightest minds to solve our Nation's most important
challenges.
The Committee's recommendation for the Department includes
funding in both defense and non-defense budget categories.
Defense funding is recommended for atomic energy defense
activities, including the National Nuclear Security
Administration, which manages our Nation's stockpile of nuclear
weapons, prevents proliferation of dangerous nuclear materials,
and supports the Navy's nuclear fleet; defense environmental
cleanup to remediate the former nuclear weapons complex; and
safeguards and security for Idaho National Laboratory. Non-
defense funding is recommended for the Department's energy
research and development programs (including nuclear, fossil,
and renewable energy, energy efficiency, grid modernization and
resiliency, and the Office of Science), power marketing
administrations, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and
administrative expenses.

Reprogramming Guidelines

The Committee's recommendation includes control points to
ensure the Secretary spends taxpayer funds in accordance with
congressional direction. The Committee's recommendation also
includes reprogramming guidelines to allow the Secretary to
request permission from the Committee for certain expenditures,
as defined below, which would not otherwise be permissible. The
Secretary's execution of appropriated funds shall be fully
consistent with the direction provided under this heading and
in section 301 of the bill, unless the Committee includes
separate guidelines for specific actions in the bill or report.
Prior to obligating any funds for an action defined below
as a reprogramming, the Secretary shall notify and obtain
approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of
Congress. The Secretary shall submit a detailed reprogramming
request in accordance with section 301 of the bill, which
shall, at a minimum, justify the deviation from prior
congressional direction and describe the proposed funding
adjustments with specificity. The Secretary shall not, pending
approval from the Committee, obligate any funds for the action
described in the reprogramming proposal.
The Secretary is also directed to inform the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress promptly and fully
when a change in program execution and funding is required
during the fiscal year.
Definition.--A reprogramming includes:
--the reallocation of funds from one activity to another
within an appropriation;
--any significant departure from a program, project,
activity, or organization described in the agency's
budget justification as presented to and approved by
Congress;
--for construction projects, the reallocation of funds from
one construction project identified in the agency's
budget justification to another project or a
significant change in the scope of an approved project;
--adoption of any reorganization proposal which includes
moving prior appropriations between appropriations
accounts; and
--any reallocation of new or prior year budget authority, or
prior year deobligations.

FINANCIAL REPORTING AND MANAGEMENT

Mortgaging Future-Year Awards.--The Committee remains
concerned about the Department's practice of making awards
dependent on funding from future years' appropriations. The
fiscal year 2023 Act directed the Department to provide a
briefing on how it can better track and provide information
about the accounting of future-year awards by control point.
The Committee is still awaiting this briefing and directs the
Department to provide it immediately.

Department is directed to notify the Committee at least 30 days
prior to any non-competitive research, development,
demonstration, or deployment award.
The Committee recommends the Department list regional
councils and councils of governments as eligible entities in
competitions for Federal funding whenever local governments or
non-profit agencies are eligible entities for a competitive
solicitation. Furthermore, the Committee recommends the
Department actively seek opportunities for regional councils
and councils of governments to serve as lead applicants and
grantees in order to encourage and expand greater regional
collaboration.
Cost Share Waivers.--Section 988 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 provides authority for the Secretary to waive cost
share requirements under some circumstances. The Department is
directed to notify the Committee at least 15 days prior to
waiving cost share requirements for any research, development,
demonstration, or deployment award.
Commonly Recycled Paper.--The Department shall not expend
funds for projects that knowingly use as a feedstock commonly
recycled paper that is segregated from municipal solid waste or
collected as part of a collection system that comingles
commonly recycled paper with other solid waste at any point
from the time of collection through materials recovery.
Future Year Energy Report.--The Comptroller General of the
United States is directed to review the interagency actions
causing delayed implementation of section 304 of division B of
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74).

demands and safeguard our National nuclear security. The
Department has a long history in and unique opportunity of
training and supporting the science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics workforce. The fiscal year 2020 Act directed
the Department to provide a report that includes an inventory
of workforce development and readiness programs supported
throughout the Department. The inventory was required to
include current programs, past programs over the past 10 years,
and recommendations for the Department to improve or expand its
workforce development efforts. The report was required to
include specific recommendations addressing workforce readiness
to meet the Department's nuclear security missions. The
Committee is still awaiting this report and directs the
Department to provide the report immediately.
The Department is encouraged to prioritize training and
workforce development programs that assist and support workers
in trades and activities required for the continued growth of
the U.S. energy efficiency and renewable energy sectors,
including training programs focused on building retrofit, the
construction industry, and the electric vehicle industry. The
Department is encouraged to continue to work with 2-year,
community and technical colleges, labor, and nongovernmental
and industry consortia to pursue job training programs,
including programs focused on displaced fossil fuel workers,
that lead to an industry-recognized credential in the renewable
energy and energy efficiency workforce. The Committee
recognizes the Department's collaborations with the Department
of Defense to address national security priorities including
climate change and electric infrastructure. The Committee
recognizes the Department's individual education and workforce
development programs relating to the intersection of national
security and energy but encourages interdepartmental
coordination on the creation or modification of these programs.
The Committee identifies the importance of student research
participant programs in building a strong STEM workforce
pipeline across DOE disciplines. The Department is directed to
provide to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment
of this act a report on the resources required and
opportunities to triple the number of student research
participant placements within its current participant programs
to support the cross-cutting, Department-wide initiatives, such
as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and quantum
information science, and basic and applied research programs.
The report shall include information on how the Department's
current programs and research investments can be further
leveraged to support expanding undergraduate, graduate,
doctoral, and post-doc research participant placements to build
a strong STEM workforce pipeline.

Department of Energy's Insider Threat Program

The Committee is alarmed by the findings of the Government
Accountability Office's [GAO] recent report that identified
significant problems with the Department's Insider Threat
Program. The Committee recognizes that the Department and NNSA
have many competing priorities; however, ensuring that the
agency is guarding against insider threats is important. To
better understand how DOE is planning to address these
concerns, the Department is directed to provide the Committee
with the Department's annual reports to the Secretary of Energy
on the agency's Insider Threat Program-including any
information on the resources needed to maintain and support the
program within 30 days of issuance of each report. The
Committee also directs the Department to provide a briefing to
the Committee within 90 days of the issuance of each report.
The briefings shall include information on actions the
Department is taking to address recommendations from GAO and
other entities to improve the program.

NATIONAL STUDIES

The Committee is concerned that the Department of Energy is
not including Hawaii and Alaska in national needs studies or
resource mapping and assessments. The Committee notes this
results in an increasing data gap between Alaska and Hawaii and
the rest of the United States. If the Department publishes a
study that is national in scope but fails to include all 50
States, the Department is directed to provide an explanation
of: (1) why certain States were not included; (2) what steps
the Department is taking to ensure that all States are included
in subsequent versions of the study; and (3) what resources or
authorities the Department requires if the Department was
unable to include all 50 States in the study.

Crosscutting Initiatives

SBIR/STTR Programs.--The Department is directed to use the
definition of research and development as provided by the Small
Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 and Small Business
Administration's ``SBIR and STTR Program Policy Directive'' for
the purposes of the Department's SBIR and STTR programs.
Additionally, the Department is directed to establish and
maintain formal coordination across relevant applied
Departmental program offices regarding the proper
implementation of the SBIR and STTR programs and to dedicate
more resources to the administration of the SBIR and STTR
programs. The Department is also encouraged to focus on
solicitations that would advance commercialization and
technological innovation aimed at decarbonization and emission
reductions. Additionally, the Department is directed to develop
program processes that are not burdensome to small businesses
at the application stage and during grant management. Lastly,
the Department is directed to develop metrics and processes for
tracking private-sector commercialization of SBIR and STTR
investments and for tracking the participation in SBIR and STTR
programs, in accordance with the Small Business Innovation

the funding profiles, portfolio of funding opportunities,
programmatic investments for the Initiative, and the roles and
responsibilities of each participating program office. Further,
the Committee recognizes the value of a diverse range of clean
distributed energy resources, the Committee directs the
Department to evaluate opportunities, in coordination with the
Office of Clean Energy Demonstration, to deploy multi-resource
microgrids that incorporate dispatchable, fuel-flexible,
renewable-fuel-compatible, distributed generation technologies,
including but not limited to linear generator technology,
paired with variable output renewable resources and battery
storage technology, in order to simultaneously achieve
substantial carbon and criteria emissions reductions, ensure
multi-day resilience, and improve energy security and
independence.
Carbon Dioxide Removal.--The recommendation provides not
less than $155,732,000 for research, development, and
demonstration of carbon dioxide removal technologies, including
not less than $22,000,000 from the Office of Energy Efficiency
and Renewable Energy [EERE], not less than $66,000,000 from
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management [FECM], and not
less than $67,000,000 from the Office of Science.
The Committee recommends $20,000,000 to continue a
competitive purchasing pilot program that the Secretary was
directed to establish in the fiscal year 2023 Energy and Water
joint explanatory statement, consistent with Division D of
Public Law 117-328, for the purchase of carbon dioxide removed
from the atmosphere or upper hydrosphere. The Department is
encouraged to make purchases through the pilot program that
supports approaches such as those included in Section 5001,
Division Z of Public Law 116-260, and to emphasize methods that
minimize removal reversibility and maximize storage duration.

Within available funds, the Committee directs the
Department to establish the Low-Emissions Steel Manufacturing
Research Program in accordance with Subtitle D of title IV of
the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C.
17111a).
The Committee believes that innovative energy sources are
necessary for manufacturers to transition from traditional
carbon-emitting fuels to fuels with significantly lower
greenhouse gases on a net basis. In support of that transition,
more data is necessary for the long-term sustainability of
combusting non-traditional fuels. The Department of Energy's
Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap emphasizes that greater
research, design, and deployment into alternative fuels usage
is necessary to reduce carbon emissions in the industrial
sector. The Committee encourages the Department to partner with
an institution of higher learning to conduct research on
greenhouse gas and other air emissions from the combustion and
energy recovery of non-traditional fuels, such as biomass,
wood, pulp & paper, agricultural waste, plastics, and municipal
waste in cement manufacturing. The Committee expects the
program to compare and analyze the calorific/heating value;
greenhouse gas & other pollutants over any possible lifecycles
of the fuel; fuel collection, processing & supply, and the
regulatory barriers to utilizing potential fuels over
traditional ones. The Committee also directs the Department to
conduct this research in consultation with other agencies, as
necessary. The Committee directs the Department to report its
progress of data collection to Committee within a year of
enactment of this act
Energy Storage.--The Committee supports the Department's
Energy Storage Grand Challenge [ESGC] and Long-Duration Storage
Shot initiatives, which includes cost-shared demonstrations of
energy storage technologies. The ESGC builds on the
Department's prior research and development efforts in storage
and will align Energy Storage research and development efforts
to focus on technical, regulatory, and market issues necessary
to achieve the technology goals. The Department is directed to
continue to provide the Committee updates on the ESGC and make
publically available a crosscutting research and development
road-map through 2030 to illustrate the ESGC's goals. This
road-map shall be focused on reducing costs and improving the
performance of a diverse set of grid-scale storage technologies
to meet industry needs, improve reliability and environmental
performance of the electricity grid, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. The Department is directed to carry out these
activities in accordance with sections 3201 and 3202 of the
Energy Act of 2020.
The Committee is aware of the Department's efforts to
expand the capabilities of the United States in advanced
battery manufacturing, including for long-duration grid-scale
energy storage and electric vehicles. As the Department
continues its efforts to scale up a domestic advanced battery
supply chain, including battery manufacturing demonstration
projects, the Committee encourages the Department to seek a
broad spectrum of battery chemistries not wholly exclusive to
lithium-ion based battery technology.
The recommendation provides not less than $570,000,000 for
energy storage, including not less than $330,000,000 from EERE,
not less than $84,000,000 from the Office of Electricity [OE],
not less than $5,000,000 from FECM, not less than $21,000,000
from NE, and not less than $123,000,000 from the Office of
Science.

the Department's ongoing efforts to develop technologies and
low carbon fuels that will reduce emission in shipping,
aviation, agricultural, and long distance transportation.
The recommendation provides not less than $361,000,000 to
further the research, development, testing, and demonstration
of innovative technologies and solutions for low- or no-
emission alternative fuels for ongoing efforts to develop
technologies and low carbon fuels that will reduce emission in
shipping, aviation, agricultural, and long distance
transportation. This funding level includes not less than
$285,000,000 from EERE, not less than $33,250,000 from FECM,
not less than $33,250,000 from the OE, and not less than
$9,500,000 from the Office of Science.
Hastening the availability of low- and no-carbon
alternatives to diesel fuel for locomotives will be essential
to achieving a net-zero emissions economy while also meeting
our Nation's projected 50 percent growth in freight
transportation demand by 2050. As part of the U.S. National
Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, the Department
states, ``Freight rail research should be prioritized to
determine the most promising paths to decarbonization,
including a focus on sustainable fuels and the design and
manufacture of new locomotive propulsion and fueling systems.''
The Committee notes there are ongoing efforts to further the
use of technologies that will reduce emissions in existing
locomotive fleets, such as different blends of renewable diesel
and biodiesel, as well as to accelerate the commercial
viability of alternative propulsion methods, including
batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. The Committee directs the
Department to regularly consult with railroads and rail
manufacturers and suppliers to determine which research
projects will best advance the commercial viability of these
respective technologies and help to identify the pathway to
decarbonization for the industry.
Further, the Committee encourages the Department to
accelerate its work on sustainable aviation fuels, with a focus
on getting feedstocks and biorefining processes for net-zero
emission fuels into demonstration as it works to meet the goals
of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge. The Committee
encourages the Department to develop a clear framework for
evaluating the emissions reduction potential of different
sustainable aviation fuel pathways and to prioritize research
and development of fuels with the greatest potential to reduce
GHG emissions while avoiding unintended consequences on forests
and food supply chains. The Department is encouraged to work
with other Federal agencies and the national labs to coordinate
efforts to advance sustainable aviation fuels and work in
coordination with aviation manufacturers. Additionally, the
Committee directs the Department to factor growth in
sustainable aviation fuel research, development, demonstration,
and deployment into future year budget requests.
Hydrogen.--The Committee supports the Department's
continued coordination on hydrogen energy and fuel cell
technologies in order to maximize the effectiveness of
investments in hydrogen-related activities. This coordination
shall include EERE, FECM, NE, OE, the Office of Science, and
the Advanced Research Projects Agency--Energy.
The recommendation provides not less than $390,000,000 for
the Hydrogen crosscut, including not less than $205,000,000
from EERE, not less than $121,000,000 from FECM, not less than
$21,000,000 from NE, and not less than $47,000,000 from the
Office of Science.
The recommendation provides up to $65,000,000 for
technologies to advance hydrogen use for heavy-duty
transportation, industrial, and hard-to-electrify
transportation applications including trains, maritime
shipping, and aviation, and industrial applications.
Further, the Department is encouraged to engage on codes
and standards for fast-developing fuel cell and hydrogen
markets such as heavy-duty trucks, aviation, maritime,
locomotives, transportation of hydrogen by rail, and other
areas as needed.
The Committee instructs the Department to support updates
to Argonne National Laboratory's Greenhouse gases, Regulated
Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies, also known as the
GREET model, including updating model defaults to match the
best available science and data for consistency in modelling
life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions; including innovative ways
to produce hydrogen, such as geologic hydrogen and through the
use of coal bed/coal mine methane, as well as other advanced
pathways leveraging diverse domestic resources.
Transformers.--Currently, the power sector is experiencing
long manufacturer lead-times to fulfill orders of distribution
transformers. It has been reported that lead-times to fulfill
orders for utilities are up to over 2 years compared to 2 to 4
months in 2019. This delay risks reliability, resilience,
national security and defense readiness, and affordability of
the electric grid due to the critical role of this equipment.
The recommendation includes further funding to enhance the
domestic supply chain for the manufacture of transformers and
electric grid components derived from unobligated advanced
emergency appropriations funding.
Further, the Committee is concerned about the Proposed
Rulemaking (88 Federal Register 1722): Energy Conservation
Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Distribution
Transformers and its effect on materials that could go into the
development of transformers and manufacturers ability to meet
growing demand. The Department is directed to recognize the
national security implications of changing the manufacturing
process on critical grid components and to work with relevant
stakeholders in developing future efficiency standards for
distribution transformers. The Department is further directed
to respond to Congressional and outside stakeholders regarding
their comments on this proposed rule. The Department is further
directed to report to the Committee within 30 days of passage
of this act, regarding the status of this proposed rule and how
it will address these concerns.
Battery Grants.--The Committee is concerned about reports
that the Department of Energy is attempting to include
additional requirements that were not mandated in the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for projects that have
been selected to negotiate a Battery Manufacturing and
Recycling or a Battery Materials Processing award. The
Committee encourages the Department to proceed expeditiously in
negotiations to finalize awards without further delay due to
requirements not mandated by law.

Industrial Emissions and Technology Coordination

The recommendation provides a separate appropriation for
Industrial Emissions Coordination. The Department is directed
to coordinate and lead the clean industrial research,
development, demonstrations, and deployment across the
Department focusing on work that is both sector-specific and
technology-inclusive for energy-intensive industries. Further,
within 180 days of enactment of this act the Department is
directed to develop a Department-wide Multi-Year Program Plan
[MYPP] as an operational guide to implementing the Industrial
Decarbonization Roadmap and ensure coordination across all
participating offices. The MYPP shall be updated annually to
reflect changes in the availability of funds, technology
development, and reprioritization. The Department-wide MYPP
will incorporate any plans or strategies as directed in
previous congressional language.
The Committee continues to emphasize the importance of
crosscutting initiatives that enable the Department to
accelerate progress on specific goals through fully integrated
science and applied energy research, development,
demonstration, and deployment. These crosscutting initiatives
require active coordination throughout the Department to ensure
that the roles, responsibilities, programs, and funding are
aligned across the various program offices to achieve desired
outcomes. This coordination ensures that the Department
leverages funding sources across programs and avoids
unnecessary duplication of efforts, resulting in the best
stewardship of taxpayer funds. This coordination also helps
align the considerable capabilities of the Department's
stakeholders, including national laboratories, universities,
industry, and other partners. However, the Committee has grown
concerned with the proliferation of coordination mechanisms-
such as crosscuts, Energy Earthshots, Joint Strategy Teams,
Science and Energy Technology Teams, and Coordination Teams-
that may actually result in confusion and redundancy instead of
increased coordination. The Department is directed to align,
simplify, and consolidate these coordination mechanisms into
one function, so the resulting coordination mechanism includes
clear leadership, articulates the roles and responsibilities of
each participating program office, and plays a leading role in
budget formulation and execution across program offices. The
Department is directed to provide to the Committee not later
than 90 days after enactment of this act a briefing on how
these coordination mechanisms will achieve these goals and
become institutionalized. Further, the Department is directed
to include in future budget requests funding breakdowns by
account and subprogram for each of the crosscutting
initiatives. For this purpose, the crosscutting initiatives
shall include: carbon dioxide removal, energy storage,
hydrogen, critical minerals and materials, industrial
decarbonization, agriculture, electricity sector,
transportation sector, and buildings sector.

ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES

NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

The Committee recommendation for the National Nuclear
Security Administration [NNSA] continues funding for
recapitalization of our nuclear weapons infrastructure, while
modernizing and maintaining a safe, secure, and credible
nuclear deterrent without the need for underground testing.
The Committee supports continuing important efforts to
secure and permanently eliminate remaining stockpiles of
nuclear and radiological materials both here and abroad to
reduce the global danger from the proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction. The Committee also supports Naval Reactors
and the important role they play in enabling the Navy's nuclear
fleet.
A highly skilled and diverse workforce is required to
maintain and modernize the nuclear weapons stockpile and
execute the global nonproliferation initiatives of the NNSA.
The Committee commends the NNSA for considerable progress made
to recruit and retain this unique workforce.
Although NNSA today views its mission as driven by military
requirements and near-term schedules, it is equally important
that the agency be a trusted and good steward of taxpayer
dollars. Too often, NNSA has over-promised, over-spent, and
under-delivered on its important commitments, such as pit
production. It is therefore imperative that NNSA maintain its
focus on improving its management of projects and programs. The
Government Accountability Office [GAO] has made numerous
recommendations to NNSA to improve management of its projects
and programs. As of May 2023, GAO considers 60 recommendations
it has made to NNSA as open. Although most are more recent,
some of these recommendations have remained open since 2015.
NNSA is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 60
days after enactment of this act, and quarterly thereafter,
briefings on the status and progress of GAO's open
recommendations to NNSA. NNSA is directed to use GAO's Open
Recommendations Database as the basis for these briefings to
ensure the agency addresses all recommendations GAO considers
open. As part of the quarterly briefings, NNSA shall provide
information on the actions NNSA has taken or plans to take to
address each open recommendation, timeframes for completion,
and any barriers to implementing the recommendation. NNSA may
choose to provide information about recommendations where GAO
and the agency have differences of opinion on their status.
GAO reported in March 2020 that NNSA's Uranium Processing
Facility [UPF] at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) was
on schedule and budget-construction to be complete in 2025 and
cost no more than $6.5 billion. It also reported NNSA had
identified over $800,000,000 through 2026 in Uranium
Modernization program costs. In the fiscal year 2024 budget
request, NNSA now says costs have increased by over
$2,000,000,000 and the project completion date has slipped 4
years to 2029. GAO shall update its 2020 report and focus on:
the identified cause(s) of UPF cost growth and schedule
slippage; corrective actions to address these cost and schedule
problems; the impact of these cost and schedule problems on
underway and planned weapons modernization efforts; and the
scope, cost, and schedule of activities funded by the Uranium
Modernization program through the currently proposed Future
Years Nuclear Security Program (Fiscal Years 2024-2028). GAO is
directed to provide to the Committee not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act an initial briefing on its
assessments.
NNSA frequently cites the urgent, requirements-driven
nature of the cost, scope, and schedule of its program of
record, particularly for its weapons and infrastructure
programs. The Committee understands that requirements come in
many forms. Requirements may come from: the President; the
military through the joint DOE-DOD Nuclear Weapons Council;
statute and regulations; agency policies; and international
standards, treaties, and agreements. But not all of these
myriad requirements are created or treated equally. Some
``requirements'' appear to be remarkably flexible and subject
to change. Requirements, writ large, may be a convenient
blanket phrase for NNSA as it justifies its ever-increasing
budget and efforts to trim schedules by reducing or eliminating
important analytical and management controls. However, the
ever-increasing emphasis on requirements, which then are often
not met, belies the agency's insistence that it is meeting its
mission. For example, the Committee notes that a succession of
national lab Directors and U.S. Strategic Command [STRATCOM]
Commanders have attested for over two decades that the U.S
nuclear stockpile remains safe, secure, and effective. As such,
the blanket requirements phrase, devoid of further explanation,
has little meaning to the Committee, especially as the agency's
projects' and programs' costs and schedules continue to
experience growth and delays. The Committee must know what are
the crucial priorities needed to sustain the stockpile in to
the future and see evidence that these are held firm from a
program or project's baseline through its completion. To
provide additional context and justification, NNSA is directed
to provide to the Committee not later than 60 days after
enactment of this act a report including the following
information: the types of requirements (e.g. statutory/
regulatory, executive orders, Nuclear Weapons Council, internal
directives, policy, etc.) that NNSA operates under and how NNSA
negotiates, prioritizes, and balances them; examples of
requirements considered through the Nuclear Weapons Council
that NNSA either modified or rejected as infeasible; examples
of significant changes in NNSA requirements over the past
decade and the negative effects that were realized when NNSA
could not meet its original requirements; the extent to which
some requirements may be changed to better match agency
capabilities or capabilities that may be expanded to meet
requirements; and based on current and planned weapons
modernization, a rank ordering of the production infrastructure
most urgently needed over the next 20 years. NNSA may not
obligate more than 80 percent of the funds provided until it
submits this information to the Committee.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The Committee notes NNSA's inability to properly estimate
costs and timelines for large projects. The NNSA is encouraged
to assess and reassess as needed current performance on
projects costing more than $750,000,000, and make appropriate
project management changes. When reassessing, the Committee
encourages the NNSA to identify problems in cost and schedule
estimates early, and provide updated information to the
Committee immediately. NNSA is reminded that the Antideficiency
Act prohibits Federal agencies from obligating or expending
Federal funds in advance or excess of appropriation. The
Committee also reminds NNSA to remain within appropriated
levels when spending funds in advance of appropriations or
reprogrammings.

Committee recommendation................................ 18,832,947,000

The Committee recommends $18,832,947,000 for Weapons
Activities to ensure the safety, security, reliability, and
effectiveness of the Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile without
the need for underground nuclear testing.
University Collaboration.--The Committee notes progress in
developing the scope for establishment of the Center of
Excellence regarding lifetime extension and materials
degradation issues, including its expansion to the entire
nuclear security enterprise. NNSA is encouraged to continue
these efforts, including developing a recruiting pipeline
capability across the enterprise, in consultation with
institutions that have an existing track record with
institutions traditionally underrepresented in the nuclear
security industry, including Minority Serving Institutions and
Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Streamlining Construction of Non-Nuclear Facilities.--The
Committee directs NNSA to evaluate the use of existing
authorities, including capital lease, the quit claim deed
process, and purchase, to streamline construction of non-
nuclear facilities. Further, the Committee directs NNSA to
create no less than four pilot projects across multiples sites
to maximize use of commercial standards to non-nuclear
facilities. NNSA shall brief the Committee on Appropriations of
both Houses of Congress on the proposed pilot projects within
90 days of enactment of this act.

STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT

Plutonium Pit Production.--The Committee believes that NNSA
is not fully accounting for risk to schedule and cost for its
two-site pit production strategy. The Committee previously
directed, in the fiscal year 2023 Act, NNSA to provide a plan
to establish a two-site Integrated Master Schedule covering the
entirety of the work required to produce 80 pits per year and a
timeline that NNSA has high confidence will achieve this
critical requirement. NNSA is directed to provide this plan
immediately after enactment of this act.
The Committee supports investment in pit production in
recognition of new threats and challenges maintaining readiness
on aging systems. The Committee recommends not less than
$10,000,000 for next-generation machining and assembly
technology development for high volume pit production.
As in previous years, NNSA and the Department of Defense
have stressed that the timeline for achieving 80 pits per year
will extend beyond 2030. The Committee is yet to receive an
updated contingency plan, as directed in the fiscal year 2023
Act. NNSA is directed to provide the Committee on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with an updated
contingency plan, coordinated with the Department of Defense
and based on current pit production timelines immediately after
enactment of this act. Additionally, the Committee notes that
independent assessment of plutonium pit production aging is an
important component to a holistic approach to the pit
production mission. The Committee directs NNSA to seek to enter
into an agreement with the scientific advisory group known as
JASON to conduct an assessment of the report entitled
``Research Program Plan for Plutonium and Pit Aging.''
Published in September 2021. The assessment will: (1) Review
whether that report meets the criteria for appropriate pit
aging research described by JASON in its 2019 Pit Aging Letter
Report (JSR-19-2A); (2) Suggest any improvements or additions
to that report; (3) Review the initial data collected by the
National laboratories under that report to determine if it is
possible to update the expected lifetime of plutonium pits; and
(4) If unable to update the expected lifetime of plutonium
pits, JASON shall provide an estimate of when such an update is
possible.
High Explosives & Energetics.--The Committee notes the
importance of the High Explosives and Energetics program, a
necessary pillar for an effective and safe stockpile. However,
the Committee is concerned by NNSA's decision to delay the HE
Synthesis, Formulation, and Production facility [HESFP], as it
had previously been described to the Committee as urgently
essential. Additionally, it has come to the Committee's
attention that NNSA intends to continue investing heavily in
high explosives production capabilities at Naval Surface
Warfare Center Indian Head Division [NSWC IHD]. Within 180 days
of enactment, the Committee directs NNSA to provide a
comprehensive roadmap, complete with schedule and budgetary
estimates for its long-term approach to its high explosives and
energetics strategy at Holston, NSWC IHD, and ultimately HESFP.

STOCKPILE RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING

The Committee recommends $3,420,111,000 for Stockpile
Research, Technology, and Engineering.

for Academic Programs, recognizing the importance of the
Academic Programs in supporting fundamental science and
technology research at universities that support stockpile
stewardship, the development of the next generation of highly-
trained workforce, and the maintenance of a strong network of
independent technical peers. Of the funds provided for the
NNSA's Academic Alliances Programs, $10,000,000 is designated
for the Tribal Colleges and Universities Partnership Program
and $45,000,000 for the Minority Serving Institution
Partnership Program.
Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield.--The
Committee recommends $685,000,000 for the inertial confinement
fusion ignition and high-yield campaign. Within available
funds, not less than $410,000,000 for the National Ignition
Facility, not less than $85,000,000 for the Z Facility, not
less than $99,400,000 for the Omega laser facility, and not
less than $30,000,000 for Los Alamos National Laboratory. A
predictable and sustained availability of targets is essential
to the operations of NNSA's ICF facilities. As such, the
Committee provides not less than $42,000,000 for target
research, development, and fabrication to cost-effectively
operate the NIF, Z, and OMEGA facilities.
Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee
recommends $824,077,000 for Advanced Simulation and Computing.
The Committee directs the Department to continue developing a
multi-year program, leveraging public/private partnerships, to
co-design and co-develop leading edge post-exascale advanced
computing technologies vital for continued U.S. world
leadership in scientific discovery, national security, and
economic well-being.

The Committee continues to support work to pack and ship
material from Y-12 to a domestic commercial processor to
produce limited quantities of HALEU.
The Committee recognizes the challenges inherent in
commercializing Molybdenum-99 production technologies and
encourages a whole-of-government collaboration regarding the
financial sustainability of domestic production of this medical
isotope. The Committee therefore recommends $50,000,000 for
Laboratory and Partnership Support to expedite the
establishment of stable domestic sources of Molybdenum-99
without the use of highly enriched uranium. These funds are
recommended in order to extend and/or add funding to the
cooperative agreements that were previously competitively-

The Commission is directed to provide budget request
amounts rounded to the thousands in all tables in future budget
request submissions.
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.
Reactor Oversight and Safety.--The Commission is directed
to continue to provide regular briefings to the Committee on
the Commission's current reactor oversight and safety program
and on any proposed changes before they are implemented.
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.
Telework Plan.--The Commission is directed to provide to
the Committee a report with detailed metrics to evaluate staff
performance and productivity as a part of implementing its
telework policy. In each successive year, the Commission shall
provide to the Committee an analysis of how the staff is
meeting those detailed metrics.
Advanced Nuclear Reactor Regulatory Infrastructure.--The
recommendation includes $34,200,000 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.
Further, to facilitate the licensing of new reactors, not later
than 90 days after enactment of this act, the Commission is
directed to submit to Congress a report providing options on
how to improve organizational management to review and advanced
reactor license applications for first-of-a-kind nuclear
reactors. The report shall review and assess the NRC's existing
organizational structure and identify potential gaps in the
current organizational licensing approach. The report shall
also make recommendations to improve organizational management,
such as establishing a dedicated review team with the
leadership, expertise, capacity, and orientation to enable the
issuance of a license in a timely, efficient, and safe manner.
Fusion Regulatory Infrastructure.--As the Commission
updates consolidated guidance, the Commission is directed to
evaluate risk- and performance-based licensing evaluation
techniques and guidance for the use of mass-manufactured fusion
energy systems, in consultation with Agreement States and the
private fusion industry. The Commission is also encouraged to
evaluate the Federal Aviation Administration's design,
manufacturing, and operations certification process for
aircraft as a potential model for mass-manufactured fusion
energy system regulations.

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.
