developed by the non-Federal interest in accordance with any policies 
and guidelines applicable to the relevant partnership agreement

        driven flooding, occur simultaneously or in close succession 
        and the potential adverse effects of the combined flood drivers 
        may be greater than that of the individual flood driver 
        components.

        to models, means relating to the evaluation of benefits and

SEC. 1148. TREATMENT OF PROJECTS IN COVERED COMMUNITIES.

    (a) In General.--In carrying out feasibility studies for projects 
that serve a covered community, the Secretary shall select 10 such 
studies and include in those studies the calculation of an alternative 
benefit-cost ratio for the project in order to equitably compare such 
project to projects carried out in the contiguous States of the United 
States and the District of Columbia.
    (b) Evaluation.--In carrying out this section, the Secretary 
shall--
            (1) compute the benefit-cost ratio for the project in 
        accordance with current law and guidance;
            (2) if different from the ratio described in paragraph (1), 
        compute an alternative benefit-cost ratio by adjusting the 
        construction costs for the project to reflect what construction 
        costs would be if the project were carried out in a comparable 
        community in the contiguous States that is nearest to the 
        community in which the project will be carried out;
            (3) include in the documentation associated with the 
        feasibility study for the project the ratios calculated under 
        paragraph (1) and paragraph (2); and
            (4) compare the alternative benefit-cost ratio calculated 
        under paragraph (2) to the standard benefit-cost ratios 
        calculated for each project alternative.
    (c) Notification.--
            (1) In general.--If the tentatively selected plan for a 
        project yields a benefit-cost ratio less than unity for the 
        project and results in the discontinuation of the project, the 
        Secretary shall provide written notice to the Committee on 
        Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of 
        Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
        Works of the Senate.
            (2) Inclusion.--In any written notice provided under 
        paragraph (1), the Secretary shall include for the project a 
        comparison of the benefit-cost ratios described in subsection 
        (b)(4).
    (d) Report.--After carrying out subsection (a), the Secretary shall 
submit to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Environment and Public 
Works of the Senate a report that summarizes for each project the 
comparisons of the benefit-cost ratios described in subsection (b)(4).
    (e) Covered Community Defined.--In this section, the term ``covered 
community'' means a community located in the State of Hawaii, the State 
of Alaska, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of

                project on a lower use waterway; and
            (2) the remote operation activities were developed under a

                            (i) the indemnification clause, which was 
                        first applied in 1910 to flood control 
                        projects, should still be included in project 
                        partnership agreements prepared by the Corps of 
                        Engineers for water resources development

                        OMRR&R of water resources development projects 
                        in perpetuity;
                    (B) non-Federal interests have reported that the 
                indemnification clause and OMRR&R requirements are a 
                barrier to entering into project partnership agreements 
                with the Corps of Engineers;
                    (C) critical water resources development projects 
                are being delayed by years, or not pursued at all, due 
                to the barriers described in subparagraph (B); and
                    (D) legal structures have changed since the 
                indemnification clause was first applied and there may 
                be more suitable tools available to address risk and 
                liability issues.
            (2) Analysis.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General shall conduct an 
        analysis of the implications of--
                    (A) the indemnification clause; and
                    (B) the assumption of OMRR&R responsibilities by 
                non-Federal interests in perpetuity for water resources 
                development projects.
            (3) Inclusions.--The analysis under paragraph (2) shall 
        include--
                    (A) a review of risk for the Federal Government and 
                non-Federal interests with respect to removing 
                requirements for the indemnification clause;
                    (B) an assessment of whether the indemnification 
                clause is still necessary given the changes in 
                engineering, legal structures, and water resources 
                development projects since 1910, with a focus on the 
                quantity and types of claims and takings over time;
                    (C) an identification of States with State laws 
                that prohibit those States from entering into 
                agreements that include an indemnification clause;
                    (D) a comparison to other Federal agencies with 
                respect to how those agencies approach indemnification 
                and OMRR&R requirements in projects, if applicable;
                    (E) a review of indemnification and OMRR&R 
                requirements for projects that States require with 
                respect to agreements with cities and localities, if 
                applicable;
                    (F) an analysis of the useful lifespan of water 
                resources development projects, including any 
                variations in that lifespan for different types of 
                water resources development projects and how changing 
                weather patterns and increased extreme weather events 
                impact that lifespan;
                    (G) a review of situations in which non-Federal
