Happy Monday NWC members and friends,
I just wanted to give you a heads up that a Public Law (PL) 84-99 related proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow. More information is below:
USACE PROPOSES RULE ON PL 84-99
On Monday, November 14, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced a prepublication version of a proposed rule on “Natural Disaster Procedures: Preparedness, Response and Recovery Activities of the Corps of Engineers” which would potentially change how the P.L. 84-99 program is operated. According to the proposed rule, USACE is moving toward a risk-informed approach for the Rehabilitation Program and proposes to repeal and replace the current P.L. 84-99 rule. The rule will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow. USACE will accept public comments for 60 days once published. To see the prepublication version of the rule, click here.
NWC will be analyzing this proposed rule, including its impact on flooding and levee districts. If you would be interested in serving on this group, please let Julie Ufner, NWC President and CEO. know.
