33 U.S.C. § 2222: Use of other Federal funds

Summary

Local (non‑Federal) partners can use money from another Federal agency to pay all or part of their share for a Corps of Engineers water study or project, and the Secretary must accept those funds. This is allowed only if the law that gave the money does not forbid using it for Corps studies or projects and the agency providing the money says the activities are eligible under that law.
