Army

Deauthorization of Water Resources

Projects

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Changes to conditions for

project deauthorization; deauthorization

of selected projects; and correction of

project deauthorization list.

SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is

publishing notice of (1) changes to

conditions for project deauthorization,

enacted in the Water Resources

Development Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104–

303; (2) the deauthorization of the

Burlington Dam, North Dakota, project

and the Lake Darling pool raise unit of

the Souris River, North Dakota, project;

and (3) a second correction to the list of

‘‘Projects Deauthorized on November

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

John A. Micik, Headquarters, U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers, Attention: CECWBA, Washington, D.C. 20314–1000. Tel.

(202) 761–0705.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Conditions for Project Deauthorization

Section 228 of the Water Resources

Development Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104–

303, dated October 12, 1996, changes

the conditions for project

deauthorization.

Projects and separable elements of

projects will be biennially reported to

Congress as eligible for deauthorization

after 7 full fiscal years have passed

without Federal funds having been

obligated. Section 1001(b)(2) of the

Water Resources Development Act of

1986, Pub. L. 99–662, 33 U.S.C.

579a(b)(2), originally specified 10 full

fiscal years. The five-year sunset

provision of § 1001(a), Pub. L. 99–662,

33 U.S.C. 579a(a), is no longer in effect.

The statutory notifications of affected

U.S. Senators and Members of the U.S.

House of Representatives will be made

upon transmittal of the biennial

eligibility list to the President of the

Senate and the Speaker of the House.

Section 1001(b)(2), Pub. L. 99–662,

originally required notifications before

transmittal of the eligibility list. The

change allows the notifications to

specify the calendar date when the

listed projects will be deauthorized,

which is 30 months from the transmittal

date.

Project deauthorization eligibility

under § 1001(b)(2), Pub. L. 99–662, as

amended, includes projects authorized

for preconstruction planning,

engineering and design only.

Previously, only projects fully

authorized for construction fell within

the purview of § 1001(b)(2). The change

does not affect the deauthorization of

water resources studies under the

provisions of § 710, Pub. L. 99–662, 33

U.S.C. 2264.

Deauthorizations

Section 1124 of Pub. L. 99–662

provided for the automatic

deauthorization of the Burlington Dam,

North Dakota, project, and the Lake

Darling pool raise unit of the Souris

River, North Dakota, project upon

completion of the Rafferty and Alameda

reservoir projects in Canada. The

projects were cooperative efforts

between the United States and Canada.

The Rafferty and Alameda projects were

certified as complete and 100 percent

operable on March 10, 1995; therefore,

the Burlington Dam, North Dakota,

project and the Lake Darling pool raise

unit of the Souris River, North Dakota,

project were deauthorized on March 10,

1995.

Corrected List

On the list of ‘‘Projects Deauthorized

on November 29, 1995, by Section

1001(a) of Pub. L. 99–662 (Corrected

List),’’ published in the Federal Register

on January 22, 1997, (Vol. 62, No. 14,

3271), the East Fork of Trinity River,

Texas, project should not have been

listed since planning funds were

obligated on the project prior to
