handle is hein.crs/govepaf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Congressional Research Service Informing the egishlive debate since 1914 0 April 30, 2024 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: FY2025 Appropriations Congress generally funds the civil works activities of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in annual Energy and Water Development appropriations acts. These activities include the planning and construction of authorized water resource projects and the operation and maintenance (O&M) of infrastructure and navigation improvements managed by USACE. USACE 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 USACE appropriations, see CRS Report R46320, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Annual Appropriations Process. For USACE civil works, President Biden is requesting $7.22 billion for FY2025 (Figure 1), which is $1.46 billion lower than FY2024 enacted annual appropriations of $8.68 billion (Division D, Title 1 of P.L. 118-42). Figure I. Annual USACE Budget Requests and Appropriations, FY20 I 8-FY2025 (nominal $, in billions) Annual Appropriation Budget Request $10.0 $9.0 $7 0 $7.0 $5.0 $4.0 $2.0 $10 $2 0 1 ri r rj ~~~Hrl r¶ N ~ J N (N Source: Congressional Research Service (CRS), based on appropriations laws from FY2017 to FY2024 and the FY2025 USACE budget request. Notes: Does not reflect supplemental appropriations or redirection of prior year appropriations. In addition to annual discretionary appropriations, Congress has provided supplemental appropriations to USACE in some fiscal years. For information on USACE supplemental appropriations, see CRS In Focus IF 11945, U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers: Supplemental Appropriations. While these funds were made available in prior fiscal years, USACE is still obligating and expending some of these funds. In addition, P.L. 118-42 directed that USACE use some prior supplemental appropriations-$1.43 billion of unobligated and unallocated Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA; P.L. 117-58) Construction appropriations-to fund projects listed in the explanatory statement accompanying P.L. 118-42. The act also stipulated that USACE may utilize certain appropriations- specific prior supplemental and emergency appropriations and appropriations from P.L. 118-42 and future acts-to provide additional funding for certain studies and projects that have received funding from the following accounts: the USACE Construction account in P.L. 113-2, the USACE Investigations and Construction accounts in P.L. 115-123, and the USACE Investigations account in P.L. 117-58. USACE Funding in the FY2025 Request As with previous budget requests, a majority of President Biden's FY2025 USACE budget request would fund maintenance of existing infrastructure, as reflected by the share of funds requested for the O&M account (see Figure 2). The next largest share of funding in the FY2025 budget request is for the Construction account, at 28%. Figure 2.

Although the FY2025 request includes a proposal to fund certain expenses directly from a navigation trust fund, this figure shows only traditional USACE accounts.
