§3913 Reports on program implementation

Summary

After each fiscal year when money is provided for this program, the Secretary and the Administrator must post on a public website every application they got and a list of the projects they picked. For each chosen project they must show what the project is, how much money it got, and why it was chosen under the program rules. Not later than 3 years after October 23, 2018, the Comptroller General of the United States must send a report to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The report must summarize the applications and the projects chosen, the type and amount of financial help for each, how each project is performing and whether the program’s goals are being met, and the benefits or harms from the projects (for example, effects on water quality, water quantity, drinking water protection, and flood risk). The report must also look at whether the limit in section 3907(a)(5) affects the ability of eligible groups to pay for projects, recommend one of three options (keep the Secretary/Administrator authority, create a government corporation or government‑sponsored enterprise, or end the Federal authority and rely on capital markets), and propose any changes to make the program work better.
