Federal Budget Process Budget requests are submitted for all federal harbors with operation & maintenance needs. The realities of a fiscally constrained budget requires funding only the highest performing, highest priority efforts. Funding for low-use harbors (<1M tons) has been reduced significantly in the past two years. Subsistence harbors and harbors that support commercial transportation (ferries) and commercial fishing are viewed as a higher priority than other non-commercial harbors but lower than commercial. With the limited funding available, recreational harbors do not meet Administration priorities for funding in the President s Budget. 4
FY12 Corps Funding Status Congress passed the FY12 Consolidated Appropriations Bill; enacted Dec 23, 2011. The FY12 Appropriations bill included additional O&M funds for ongoing work to be allocated by USACE HQ Additional Funding for Ongoing Work - Navigation Maintenance $34M - Deep-draft harbor and channel $55M - Inland waterways $30M - Small, remote, or subsistence nav $30M 5
FY12 Corps Funding Status (cont d) Criteria established by Congress for allocation of national O&M funding: Complete ongoing work to maintain authorized widths and depths Particular emphasis on places with a Coast Guard presence Enhance national, regional, or local economic development Promote job growth or international competitiveness National defense; public health and safety 6

Coastal Structure Communication Objective P Obj ti C i t th i k off b k t and d structure t t Program Objective: Communicate the risk breakwater conditions to local stakeholders and navigation system users Process: 1 Conduct 1. C d t Condition C diti Assessments A t - Commercial Harbors- Use detailed Breakwater Assessment Team (BAT) Evaluation - Recreational Harbors- Rely on expert elicitation 2. Conduct Harbor Infrastructure Inventory on all structures 3. Prepare summary document that conveys the current condition of the harbor infrastructure as well as the risk involved in the event of failure 4 Share with stakeholders in 4. regional meetings 21 BUILDING STRONG
