Title: Cost-Sharing Requirements Under the Ability to Pay Provision | |
Abstract:
Section 103(m) of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, as amended (33 U.S.C. 2213(m)), authorizes the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to reduce the non-Federal share of the cost of a study or project for certain communities that are not able financially to afford the standard non-Federal cost-share. Part 241 of Title 33 in the Code of Federal Regulations provides criteria that the Corps can use to make this determination where the primary purpose of the project is flood damage reduction. The Corps plans to revise this regulation. |
