5-year Development Plan

Five-Year Development Plan
BACKGROUND
H.R. 108-554 directed the Corps to “prepare and submit, beginning with
the fiscal year 2006 budget submission and annually thereafter, a
comprehensive five-year plan for the Civil Works Program. The
Committee believes strongly in the value of preparing five-year plans to
guide Administration budget requests and Congressional spending
decisions. Such plans force discipline in making budgetary decisions
and encourage some stability from year to year. By giving Congress and
the Administration a view of what lies ahead in the coming years of the
Civil Works program, this fine-year plan may alleviate some of the
pressure to fund every project in the coming fiscal year.”
Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable
Five-Year Development Plan (Cont’d.)
• Provides an overview of the Civil Works program and
budget for FY 2007-2011
• A collaborative effort between the Corps, OMB and the
Committees.
• Presents projections of discretionary funding for the
Civil Works program
• Focus on projects and activities that provide the
highest net economic/environmental returns on the
Nation’s investment
• Approved and submitted to the Congress on 1 Mar 06
Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable
Five-Year Development Plan (Cont’d.)
• The funding is distributed among eight accounts over the fiveyears: Investigations, Construction, Operations and Maintenance,
MR&T, the Regulatory Program, FUSRAP, Flood Control and
Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) and Expenses
• The plan includes three scenarios:
 Middle scenario – Based on the President’s budget ($4.733
billion) and are formula driven funding levels through the outyears
 High scenario – Based on the total FY 2006 enacted funding
level ($5.446 billion) as the base and adjusted over time for
GDP price index
 Low scenario – Based on funding levels below those in the
Middle scenario
• The budget projections are formula-driven/policy neutral and do
not represent budget decisions/policy beyond FY 2007
Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable
Five-Year Development Plan (Cont’d.)
• Each scenario presents out-year budget allocations based
on FY07 Administration assumptions and construction
guidelines
• A funding wedge is accounted on each scenario to fund
those studies, PEDs and construction projects not listed
• Under the High scenario:
 The performs substantially more critical maintenance,
repair and rehabilitation ($445 million increase in O&M
and $13 million for MR&T)
 More studies, PEDs and projects are completed faster
than the other two scenarios
 The Corps executes more critical and high priority items

Regionalization of O&M
Relevant, Ready, Responsive, Reliable
Regionalization of O&M
• Intent is to manage the O&M program by
watershed and business program, rather
than primarily project-by-project.
• If Congress (House and Senate) concurs
with this concept, this would provide
flexibility in the O&M account, to place vital
funds where they are most needed.

Regionalization of O&M (Continued)
House Report 109-474 referenced the geographic regions of funding
O&M, understanding the dynamic nature of the project needs within
this account. “The Committee recommends that the O&M account be
appropriated based on the geographic regions contained in the
budget request with the following stipulations:
•Corps will provide, within 30 days of enactment (of the Bill), to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations the planned funding allocations
by project for this account…..
•The Corps will maintain this information on its website.
•The Corps will not deviate from this allocation of funds without a clearly
articulated management plan…..
•This management plan shall be provided to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriation for approval
•As part of the management plan, the Corps is instructed to develop a
communication plan for how this process will be coordinated with, and justified
to, the impacted Members of Congress, water system users, and other
interested parties.
