The bill would

     water infrastructure projects and programs
  *  Authorize appropriations for the Army Corps of Engineers to construct 29 new water infrastructure projects
  *  Authorize appropriations for the subsidy cost of loans made under EPA's Water Infrastructure Finance and
     Innovation Act (WIFIA) program

     eligible Corps projects

Losses of revenues from state and local governments' issuance of tax-exempt bonds
Direct spending of estimated additional budget authority required for certain WIFIA loans
Direct spending of estimated reduced payments to the Corps for amounts owed by nonfederal sponsors


Areas of significant uncertainty include
   Projecting the number and size of WIFIA loans that would be awarded to nonfederal entities for federal
    projects
   Determining whether nonfederal sponsors of Corps projects would successfully renegotiate deferred-payment
    agreements  and the duration of those negotiations

 This cost estimate was revised so that the estimated revenues reflect historical estimating conventions.
