$200 Million for US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for Beach Nourishment
Our 30+ years of tracking federal appropriations for shore protection show an annual need of at least $200 million to support of federal beach nourishment projects nationally. USACE is funded through Energy and Water Development appropriations.
Coastal Trust Fund Act of 2026
Introduced by Representative Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), this bill establishes a trust fund from existing oil and gas revenues from the outer continental shelf in the amount of $1 billion for federal beach nourishment and other coastal protection projects.
Regional Synchronization of Beach Nourishment Episodes
Mobilization of dredges and equipment can cost up to 50% of total contract value. Completing more projects in a specific region with one contract produces significant savings on project costs. Authorizations and modifications are provided through the Water Resources Development Act, which occurs every 2 years.
ACC Opposes Specific Budget Cuts to Programs Supporting Coastal Communities:
- ACC opposes cuts to federal agencies involved in producing science and research critical to the health America's beaches and coastal ecosystems, including funding for NOAA and The Coastal Zone Management program.
- ACC opposes cuts to disaster relief agencies and programs, such as FEMA and it's Building Resilient Infrastructures and Communities (BRIC) program, which our members rely on for pre- and post-disaster funding to respond to hurricanes and flooding.

Tom Cole | Economics and Public Finance | Public Law | President Donald Trump signed bipartisan legislation on Thursday to fund key agencies at the Department of Homeland Security, officially concluding the record-breaking shutdown. After more than 10 weeks, the president’s signature restores funding to the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with other sub-agencies that don’t touch immigration enforcement. Congressional Republicans are separately working to enact tens of billions of dollars for Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement through a party-line reconciliation package, a process that progressed this week with the adoption of a framework to unlock a special budget authority to bypass the Senate filibuster. |

| 3/6/2025 | H.R. 1897 | ESA Amendments Act of 2025 | Rep. Bruce Westerman | Environmental Protection | Waiting for House consideration | The House on Wednesday abruptly shelved legislation that would overhaul the Endangered Species Act, in an apparent response to Republican opposition to the bill. Speaker Mike Johnson yanked the ESA Amendments Act, H.R. 1897, from consideration without explanation. But opposition from six Florida Republicans and other GOP members triggered the delay, said people familiar with the discussions granted anonymity to speak candidly. The legislation has long been a Republican priority to prevent species protections from blocking development of energy and other projects. Leaders were considering bringing up the bill last week but delayed action. Natural Resources Chair Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), the bill's main sponsor, told POLITICO's E&E News back then that his legislation had been delayed by more pressing measures but brushed off a question about opposition from fellow Republicans. |

| 3/2/2026 | H.R. 7744 | Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act 2026 | Rep. Tom Cole | Economics and Public Finance | Senate Committee | The White House offered additional immigration enforcement concessions to Democrats Friday evening as border czar Tom Homan met a second time with a bipartisan group of senators seeking to end the Homeland Security shutdown, according to lawmakers who attended. Leaving the private meeting, Republican senators said they hope Democrats respond over the weekend to the Trump administration’s bolstered proposal of immigration enforcement changes meant to address Democratic demands for funding DHS. “We need to get the government back open,” Homan said as he left the meeting. “It was a good discussion. That is all I’m going to say.” Washington Sen. Patty Murray, the Senate’s top Democratic appropriator, was in attendance, along with Democratic Sens. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Angus King of Maine, an independent who caucuses with Democrats. Those senators declined to comment as they left the confab. But a Democratic aide familiar with the meeting said there is “a ways to go” in the ongoing negotiations “to secure the significant reforms that Democrats have laid out for weeks and that are necessary to earn the support of the Democratic caucus.” Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), who also attended, said afterward he thinks the group “made some more progress” toward a deal as the DHS shutdown approaches five weeks. Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) said the White House had made “a very fair, reasonable offer.” |

Tom Cole | Economics and Public Finance | Public Law | House lawmakers voted unanimously Thursday morning to overturn a policy Senate Republicans got enacted last year allowing senators to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal payouts if their electric records were unknowingly collected — a measure aimed to benefiting lawmakers who saw their data seized as part of a Joe Biden-era investigation of President Donald Trump. In an effort to force the Senate into accepting the provision, the House is including the language in the Homeland Security funding bill the chamber plans to vote on later Thursday. The House already voted in November to scrap the policy, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune has been steadfast against overturning it. |

John Kennedy (R-La.), co-leader of Senate Banking’s National Flood Insurance Program working group, introduced a bill to reauthorize the NFIP under its current form until September 30, 2025. With the program set to expire March 14, the bill would “extend the status quo” of the NFIP until Congress can “reform the program,” he said. This would be the 33rd short-term reauthorization of the NFIP since 2017. His office released the text of the short-term reauthorization bill on Wednesday. Kennedy, along with policy makers on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers, has been vocal this Congress about conducting an overhaul of the NFIP that “looks like somebody designed it on purpose.” |
