§2313a Engineering and environmental innovations of national significance

Summary

The Secretary can run surveys, make plans and studies, and write reports to promote new, environmentally friendly engineering and environmental solutions for problems of national importance. These efforts can lead to work under existing civil works powers or to recommendations for new authorizations. Congress authorized $1,000,000 for each of fiscal years 1997 through 2000 to carry out this work. The Secretary can also accept and spend extra money from other Federal agencies, States, or non-Federal entities.
