SEC. 1533. HARBOR MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) there are 926 coastal, Great Lakes, and in-
land harbors maintained by the Corps of Engineers; 
(2) according to the Bureau of Transportation 
Statistics— 
(A) in 2009, the ports and waterways of 
the 
United 
States 
handled 
more 
than 
2,200,000,000 short tons of imports, exports, 
and domestic shipments; and 
(B) in 2010, United States ports were re-
sponsible for more than $1,400,000,000,000 in 
waterborne imports and exports; 
(3) according to the Congressional Research 
Service, full channel dimensions are, on average, 
available approximately 1⁄3 of the time at the 59 har-
bors of the United States with the highest use rates; 
(4) insufficient maintenance dredging of the 
navigation channels of the United States results in 
inefficient water transportation and causes harmful 
economic consequences; 
(5) in 1986, Congress created the Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund to provide funds for the 
operation and maintenance of the navigation chan-
nels of the United States;

(6) in fiscal year 2012, the Harbor Mainte-
nance Trust Fund is expected to grow from 
$6,280,000,000 to $7,011,000,000, an increase of 
approximately 13 percent; 
(7) despite the growth of the Harbor Mainte-
nance Trust Fund, expenditures from the Fund have 
not equaled revenues, and the Fund is not being 
fully used for the intended purpose of the Fund; and 
(8) inadequate investment in dredging needs is 
restricting access to the ports of the United States 
for domestic shipping, imports, and exports and 
therefore threatening the economic competitiveness 
of the United States. 
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the 
Senate that— 
(1) the Administration should request full use 
of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for oper-
ating and maintaining the navigation channels of the 
United States; 
(2) the amounts in the Harbor Maintenance 
Trust Fund should be fully expended to operate and 
maintain the navigation channels of the United 
States; and 
(3) Congress should ensure that other pro-
grams, projects, and activities of the Civil Works

pacted.

fer is needed for national security reasons, and after Con-
gressional notification and approval of the Committees on 
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
Senate, up to $150,000,000 made available in prior Ap-
propriations Acts to further the development and dem-
onstration of national security-related enrichment tech-
nologies. No amounts may be transferred under this sec-
tion from amounts that were designated by the Congress

(b) The Secretary shall provide, directly or indirectly, 
Federal funds, resources, or other benefit for the research,
