USACE also has a role in responding to natural disasters, especially floods. This In Focus covers the appropriations that Congress has provided USACE that are in addition to annual appropriations, referred to as supplemental appropriations. Congress may consider both the amount of USACE supplemental appropriations and how effectively and efficiently the agency uses these funds. Table 1 summarizes in nominal dollars the most recent supplemental appropriations acts funding USACE. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58) provided $17.1 billion for activities spanning USACE's navigation, flood, and aquatic ecosystem restoration authorities. (See CRS Insight IN 11723, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Funding for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USA CE) Civil Works: Policy Primer.) While IIJA focused on infrastructure investment, Congress used the other supplemental bills in Table 1 to fund USACE flood response, recovery, and related projects. Figure 1 shows USACE supplemental appropriations since FY1990 adjusted to constant 2020 dollars; the adjusted amounts totaled $2.0 billion, $33.0 billion, and $31.0 billion in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, respectively.
