Funds are requested for operation, maintenance, and related activities of the Corps of Engineers at the navigation,
flood control and multiple purpose projects for which it is
responsible. Work to be accomplished consists of dredging,
repair, and operation of structures and other facilities, including recreation facilities, all as authorized in the various Rivers and Harbors and Flood Control Acts. Related activities
include aquatic plant control, monitoring of completed coastal
projects, removal of sunken vessels, and the collection of domestic waterborne commerce statistics. This request also includes funds for National Emergency Preparedness as directed in Executive Order 11490. Funds to be derived from
the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) will be applied
to cover up to 100 percent of eligible harbor maintenance
costs in accordance with Public Law 99–662, plus up to $1
million for payment of expenses of administration incurred
by the Army Corps of Engineers related to HMTF consistent
with section 683 of Public Law 103–182, the North American
Free Trade Agreement.
The Tennessee Valley Authority and the Army Corps of
Engineers will jointly study and by September 1, 1997, submit
a report and recommendations to the Office of Management
and Budget on management arrangements by which the activities of these agencies on the Cumberland River and the
Tennessee River could be integrated in order to improve the
operation of these river systems for navigation, flood control,
the production of electric power, recreation and other public
benefits and reduce the costs of such operations to both tax-

This appropriation provides for salaries and related costs
to administer laws pertaining to regulation of activities affecting U.S. waters, including wetlands, in accordance with the
Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, the Clean Water Act of
1977, and the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries
Act of 1972.
The proposed program builds on the President’s 1993 Wetlands Plan. The program includes a comprehensive package
of improvements to the Federal wetlands program, including:
(a) an administrative appeals process for Corps permit decisions and wetland determinations, (b) an intensive effort to
increase state responsibility for wetlands regulation, (c) special studies and other efforts focusing on wetlands, including
the Wetlands Delineators Certification Program to train and
certify individuals to delineate wetlands, and (d) maintenance
of an effective enforcement program at the FY 1997 level
of effort.

Legislation is being proposed that would increase wetlands
permit fees for commercial projects and eliminate fees for
private, non-commercial, projects as part of the President’s
Wetland Plan. The fees collected would offset part of the
costs of the permit program. The Army Corps of Engineers
has not changed its wetlands permit fee structure since 1977.

This activity provides for preparedness activities for all natural and technological disasters, flood fighting and rescue operations, and repair of flood control and Federal hurricane
or shore protection works. It also provides for emergency supplies of clean water where the source has been contaminated
and, in drought distressed areas, where adequate supplies
of water are needed for consumption.
This budget requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for
FY 1998, which represents the FY 1991–FY 1997 average
annual emergency spending under the BEA. This fund will
be available to this and other accounts as the need arises.
Please see the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters
account in the Funds Appropriated to the President Chapter
for more detailed information. The requested amount for future years will be based on average annual emergency funding under the BEA.
The base programs will have access to the proposed contingency fund once all current appropriations for meeting emergencies in the affected account/accounts have been obligated,
and a Presidential decision has been made to make additional
funds available. The fund is meant to be flexible enough to
respond to a variety of disasters and thus does not reserve
or dedicate specific amounts within the total for the eligible
programs. The flexibility of the fund is essential to meet
the full range of Federal disaster funding requirements.

The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund is established in accordance with the Harbor Maintenance Revenue Act of 1986
(Public Law 99–662, Title XIV, as amended). Revenue is derived from receipts from a 0.125 percent ad valorem user
fee imposed upon commercial users of specified U.S. ports;
Saint Lawrence Seaway tolls; and investment interest.
The Harbor Maintenance Revenue Act also authorized expenditures from the Trust Fund to finance up to 100 percent
of Corps of Engineers’ harbor operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs, including O&M costs associated with Great
Lakes navigational projects, and fully finance the operation
and maintenance of the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development
Corporation.
The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, Sec. 683 (Public Law 103–182), authorized payment
of administrative expenses incurred by the Department of

the Treasury, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Department of Commerce related to administration of the harbor
maintenance fee, but not to exceed $5,000,000 for any fiscal
year. The Corps of Engineers has budgeted $1,000,000 for
anticipated expenses associated with administration of the
harbor maintenance fee.
Section 201 of the Water Resources Development Act
(WRDA) 1996 authorizes use of the Harbor Maintenance
Trust Fund for construction of dredged material disposal facilities. This use would be in association with dredging of
Federal navigation projects for commercial navigation.
A summary judgment issued October 25, 1995, by the United States Court of International Trade in the case United
States Shoe Corp. v. United States (Court No. 94–11–00668),
found the Harbor Maintenance fee unconstitutional under the
Export Clause of the Constitution (Article I, section 9, clause
5), and enjoined the Customs Service from collecting the tax.
However, a motion to stay the execution of the judgment
pending appeal was granted. The case is under appeal.
For appropriation language, see the following accounts:
Army Corps of Engineers, Civil ‘‘Operation and Maintenance,
General’’; St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation
‘‘Operations and Maintenance’’; Department of Transportation
‘‘Rental Payments’’ and Department of the Treasury ‘‘Administration of Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund’’.

18 percent of annual appropriation from the Aquatic Resources Trust Fund, Sport Fish Restoration Account, and the
Coastal Restoration Trust Fund, for coastal wetlands activities; 70 percent of this amount is allocated to the Corps of
Engineers for use by the Louisiana Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force, chaired by the Secretary of the Army, to provide for the long-term conservation,
protection, and restoration of coastal wetlands in the State
of Louisiana.

The 1998 payment to the military retirement fund includes
funds for the amortization of the unfunded liability for all
retirement benefits earned by military personnel for service
prior to 1985. The amortization schedule for the unfunded
liability is determined by the Department of Defense Retirement Board of Actuaries. For fiscal year 1997 and beyond,
the Board adjusted the amortization schedule to reflect a
50 year rather than a 60 year stream of payments. Included
in the unfunded liability are the consolidated requirements
of the military departments to cover retired officers and enlisted personnel of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air
Force, retainer pay of enlisted personnel of the Fleet Reserve
of the Navy and Marine Corps, and survivors benefits.

retirement pay of military personnel on the retired lists of
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, including the
reserve components thereof, and retainer pay for personnel
of the Inactive Fleet Reserve, Government contributions consisting of a normal cost accrual percentage applied to basic
pay amounts contained in the military personnel appropriations, and interest on investments.

available in the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund,
ø$56,204,000¿, $79,977,000 of which ø$432,000¿ $24,525,000 shall
remain available until expended for the construction and renovation
of the physical plants at the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s
Home and the United States Naval Homeø: Provided, That this appropriation shall not be available for the payment of hospitalization

the United States Naval Home. The homes, which are currently in operation, are financed by appropriations drawn
from the trust fund. The homes are administered by directors
appointed by the Secretary of Defense with oversight provided
by the Armed Forces Retirement Home Board. The Sheridan
dormitory will be renovated in 1998. Also, a 110-bed medical
facility will be designed in 1998.
The Armed Forces Retirement Home provides medical and
domiciliary care and other authorized benefits for the relief
and support of certain retired military personnel of the Armed
Forces.
