        law, from within whose boundaries the waters are proposed for 
        diversion.
    (b) Submission of Agreements Required.--Prior to executing any 
agreement or arrangement for provision of compensatory storage or 
alternative water supply that allows for increased diversions of 
nonproject water as described in subsection (a), the parties to such 
agreements or arrangements shall submit the agreement or arrangement to 
the Secretary of the Interior, who, within 30 days, shall submit such 
agreement or arrangement to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and 
the Speaker of the House of Representatives for a period of not less 
than 60 days.
    (c) No Precedent.--This section shall not be considered as 
precedent for any other congressionally authorized project.
