Eligibility for USACE annual and supplemental appropriations generally requires activities to first be authorized. WRDAs add to or amend existing USACE authorizations and provide policy direction. In crafting WRDA2022 bills, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee considered proposals from Members and documents transmitted by the Administration (e.g., USACE Chief of Engineers reports, nonfederal proposals in Section 7001 reports). Table 1 summarizes House and Senate action related to WRDA legislation in the 117th Congress. The Senate currently is considering three versions of WRDA2022. Table 2 identifies selected WRDA 2022 provisions for authorizing projects and studies, sharing project costs, and managing existing infrastructure in two bills, House-passed HR. 7776 (House WRDA2022) and S.Amdt. 5499 to HR. 7900 (Senate WRDA 2022).
