These activities include the planning and construction of authorized water resource projects and operation and maintenance (O&M) of infrastructure and navigation improvements managed by USACE. USACE directly commits funds for project planning and construction. It uses most of its appropriations for work on specific studies and projects authorized by Congress. Nonfederal project sponsors or users often share in project construction costs. For more on the USACE appropriations process, see CRS Report R46320, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Annual Appropriations Process. For FY2023 annual appropriations, Congress provided $8.31 billion (26% above the FY2023 President's budget request) in Division D, Title I, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328), as shown in Figure 1.

Note: Does not reflect supplemental appropriations under Division N of P.L. 117-328. In addition to annual appropriations, Congress provided supplemental appropriations to USACE for FY2023 (not shown in Figure 1). In Division N of P.L. 117-328, Congress provided USACE with $1.48 billion in supplemental funds. Of this funding, $350 million is for construction and O&M of certain types of authorized projects. Other Division N USACE funding is limited to flood response and recovery for areas affected by three 2022 hurricanes. Both Division D and Division N provided USACE with additional funding for broad categories of USACE work, such as flood control, rather than specific studies or projects. As has been the case in past annual appropriations bills, both Division D and Division N require USACE to develop work plans to distribute additional funding to individual studies and projects. Other supplemental appropriations acts with USACE funds for FY2023 include P.L. 117-180, which designated $20 million for USACE environmental infrastructure assistance, and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58). Of IIJA's $17.10 billion for USACE, $1.08 billion is available for use in FY2023 (e.g., $1.00 billion for navigation O&M activities). For more information, 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. USAC E FY2023 Annual Appropriations The O&M account, which funds maintenance of existing USACE infrastructure, accounted for 61% of USACE's FY2023 annual appropriations (see Figure 2). In Division D, Congress provided $684 million less for the Construction account and $100 million more for the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program account in FY2023 than in FY2022. Division N and other acts provided supplemental appropriations for various accounts in FY2023, including the Construction account. Figure 2.
