        water resources development projects that have been authorized 
        but are no longer viable due to--
                    (A) a lack of local support;
                    (B) a lack of available Federal or non-Federal

        Congress to deauthorize feasibility studies for water resources

        deauthorization list that identifies each feasibility study for 
        a water resources development project, or a separable element

        study'')--
                    (A) that has been authorized as of the date of

                days.

        days after the date of the close of the comment period under 
        paragraph (2), the Secretary shall--
                    (A) submit a revised interim deauthorization list

                Infrastructure of the House of Representatives; and
                    (B) publish the revised interim deauthorization 
                list in the Federal Register.
    (c) Final Deauthorization List.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary shall develop a final 
        deauthorization list of feasibility studies from the revised 
        interim deauthorization list described in subsection (b)(3).
            (2) Deauthorization amount.--
                    (A) Proposed final list.--The Secretary shall 
                prepare a proposed final deauthorization list of 
                feasibility studies that have, in the aggregate, an 
                estimated Federal cost to complete that is at least 
                $7,000,000,000.
                    (B) Determination of federal cost to complete.--For 
                purposes of subparagraph (A), the Federal cost to 
                complete shall take into account any allowances 
                authorized by section 902 of the Water Resources 
                Development Act of 1986 (33 U.S.C. 2280), as applied to 
                the most recent study schedule and cost estimate.
            (3) Identification of studies.--
                    (A) Sequencing of studies.--
                            (i) In general.--Except as provided in

                        feasibility studies for inclusion on the 
                        proposed final deauthorization list according 
                        to the order in which the feasibility studies 
                        were authorized, beginning with the earliest 
                        authorized feasibility study and ending with 
                        the latest feasibility study necessary to meet 
                        the aggregate amount under paragraph (2)(A).

                        other than that established by clause (i) if 
                        the Secretary determines, on a case-by-case 
                        basis, that a feasibility study is critical for 
                        interests of the United States, based on the 
                        possible impact of the project that is the 
                        subject of the feasibility study on public 
                        health and safety, the national economy, or the 
                        environment.
