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. The 117th Congress enacted the Water Resources Development Act of 2022 (WRDA 2022) as Title LXXXI of Division H of the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 (FY2023 NDAA; P.L. 117-263). USACE authorization action in the 117th Congress began with H.R. 7776, the Water Resources Development Act of 2022. The House passed H.R. 7776 in June 2022; the Senate passed its amendment to H.R. 7776 in July 2022. In December 2022, the House and Senate agreed to a House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 7776, which consisted of the FY2023 NDAA's defense authorizations as well as a title for WRDA 2022 and various other nondefense titles. Table 1 identifies selected provisions of the enacted WRDA 2022. Following WRDA enactment, USACE often has developed implementation guidance for many WRDA provisions. On January 20, 2023, USACE opened a 60-day comment period for input on its implementation of WRDA 2022 provisions. For WRDA 2022, USACE has indicated plans for implementation guidance for 12 provisions. USACE has created a website for its WRDA 2022 guidance. Table I.
