SEC. 122. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COVID–19 IMPACTS TO 
COASTAL AND INLAND NAVIGATION. 
It is the sense of Congress that, for fiscal years 2023 
and 2024, the Secretary should, to the maximum extent 
practicable, seek to maintain the eligibility of a donor port, 
energy transfer port, or medium-sized donor port, as de-
fined in section 2106(a) of the Water Resources Reform 
and Development Act of 2014 (33 U.S.C. 2238c(a)), that 
received funding under section 2106 of such Act in fiscal 
year 2020, but that the Secretary determines would no 
longer be eligible for such funding as a result of a demon-
strable impact on the calculations required by the defini-
tions of a donor port, energy transfer port, or medium- 
sized donor port contained in such section due to a reduc-
tion in domestic cargo shipments related to the COVID– 
19 pandemic. 
SEC. 123. ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL CONFINED AQUATIC 
DISPOSAL FACILITIES. 
(a) AUTHORITY.—The Secretary is authorized to con-
duct assessments of the availability of confined aquatic

ON
OTHER
ENTITIES.—To the 
maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall en-
sure that expediting the review of a proposal for a 
mitigation bank through the use of funds accepted

have not contributed funds under this subsection. 
‘‘(4) EFFECT ON REVIEW.—In carrying out this 
subsection, the Secretary shall ensure that the use
