SEC. 303. NATIONAL DAM SAFETY PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1)(A) dams are an essential part of the national 
        infrastructure;
            (B) dams fail from time to time with catastrophic results; 
        and
            (C) dam safety is a vital public concern;
            (2) dam failures have caused, and may cause in the future, 
        loss of life, injury, destruction of property, and economic and 
        social disruption;
            (3)(A) some dams are at or near the end of their 
        structural, useful, or operational life; and
            (B) the loss, destruction, and disruption resulting from 
        dam failures can be substantially reduced through the 
        development and implementation of dam safety hazard reduction 
        measures, including--
                    (i) improved design and construction standards and 
                practices supported by a national dam performance 
                resource bank located at Stanford University in 
                California;
                    (ii) safe operation and maintenance procedures;
                    (iii) early warning systems;
                    (iv) coordinated emergency preparedness plans; and
                    (v) public awareness and involvement programs;
            (4)(A) dam safety problems persist nationwide;
            (B) while dam safety is principally a State responsibility, 
        the diversity in Federal and State dam safety programs calls 
        for national leadership in a cooperative effort involving the 
        Federal Government, State governments, and the private sector; 
        and
            (C) an expertly staffed and adequately financed dam safety 
        hazard reduction program, based on Federal, State, local, and 
        private research, planning, decisionmaking, and contributions, 
        would reduce the risk of the loss, destruction, and disruption 
        resulting from dam failure by an amount far greater than the 
        cost of the program;
            (5)(A) there is a fundamental need for a national program 
        for dam safety hazards reduction, and the need will continue; 
        and
            (B) to be effective, such a national program will require 
        input from, and review by, Federal and non-Federal experts in--
                    (i) dam design, construction, operation, and 
                maintenance; and
                    (ii) the practical application of dam failure 
                hazard reduction measures;
            (6) as of the date of enactment of this Act--
                    (A) there is no national dam safety program; and
                    (B) the coordinating authority for national 
                leadership concerning dam safety is provided through 
                the dam safety program of the Federal Emergency 
                Management Agency established under Executive Order 
                12148 (50 U.S.C. App. 2251 note) in coordination with 
                members of the Interagency Committee on Dam Safety and 
                with States; and
            (7) while the dam safety program of FEMA is a proper 
        Federal undertaking, should continue, and should provide the 
        foundation for a national dam safety program, statutory 
        authority is needed--
                    (A) to meet increasing needs and to discharge 
                Federal responsibilities in dam safety;
                    (B) to strengthen the leadership role of FEMA;
                    (C) to codify the national dam safety program;
                    (D) to authorize the Director of FEMA to 
                communicate directly with Congress on authorizations 
                and appropriations; and
                    (E) to build on the hazard reduction aspects of dam 
                safety.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to reduce the risks to 
life and property from dam failure in the United States through the 
establishment and maintenance of an effective national dam safety 
program to bring together the expertise and resources of the Federal 
and non-Federal communities in achieving national dam safety hazard 
reduction.

facility, or both, if, after consulting with the heads of other 
appropriate Federal and State agencies, the Secretary determines that 
the increase--

        impacts; and

1986 (33 U.S.C. 2213(f)) of the project, and for which the Federal 
Government is responsible for paying a portion of the operation, 
maintenance, replacement, and rehabilitation costs of the project or 
separable element, the Secretary may make, in accordance with this 
section and under terms and conditions acceptable to the Secretary, a 
payment of the estimated total Federal share of the costs to the non-
Federal interests after completion of construction of the project or 
separable element.
    (b) Amount of Payment.--The amount that may be paid by the 
Secretary under subsection (a) shall be equal to the present value of 
the Federal payments over the life of the project, as estimated by the 
Federal Government, and shall be computed using an interest rate 
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury taking into consideration 
current market yields on outstanding marketable obligations of the 
United States with maturities comparable to the remaining life of the 
project.
    (c) Agreement.--The Secretary may make a payment under this section 
only if the non-Federal interests have entered into a binding agreement 
with the Secretary to perform the operation, maintenance, replacement, 
and rehabilitation of the project or separable element. The agreement 
shall--
            (1) meet the requirements of section 221 of the Flood 
        Control Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 1962d-5b); and

                Federal Government to recover all or a portion of a 
                payment made under this section if a non-Federal 
                interest suspends or terminates the performance by the 
                non-Federal interest of the operation, maintenance, 
                replacement, and rehabilitation of the project or 
                separable element, or fails to perform the activities 
                in a manner that is satisfactory to the Secretary.
    (d) Effect of Payment.--Except as provided in subsection (c), a 
payment provided to the non-Federal interests under this section shall 
relieve the Federal Government of any obligation, after the date of the 
payment, to pay any of the operation, maintenance, replacement, or 
rehabilitation costs for the project or separable element.

    After the date of enactment of this Act, any proposal submitted to 
Congress by the Secretary for modification of an existing authorized 
water resources development project (in existence on the date of the 
proposal) by removal of one or more of the project features that would 
significantly and adversely impact the authorized project purposes or 
outputs shall include the recommendation that the non-Federal interests 
shall provide 50 percent of the cost of any such modification,
