Summary

Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 1990 - Title I: Department of Defense - Civil - Makes appropriations for FY 1990 for authorized civil functions of the Department of the Army relating to rivers and harbors, flood control, and beach erosion (including projects which involve State and local governmental participation). Modifies the project for flood control, Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, to direct the Secretary of the Army to design and construct the project to provide flood protection to the area protected by the existing projects from flood conditions which would occur as a result of the recurrence of tropical storm Agnes of 1972 with cost sharing in accordance with the percentages specified in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986. Modifies the Sacramento River Flood Control Project to direct the Secretary to proceed in FY 1990 and in subsequent years as necessary with construction of riverbed gradient restoration structures in the vicinity of River Mile 206, Sacramento River, California. Amends the authorization for the Sims Bayou, Texas, project to reflect increased estimates of the project cost. Modifies the project for shoreline protection for the Atlantic Coast of Maryland (Ocean City) to authorize the Secretary to construct hurricane and storm protection measures based on the District Engineer's Post Authorization Change Notification Report dated May 1989. Authorizes the Secretary to transfer and reassign property accountability for the headquarters aircraft of the Corps of Engineers, Serial Number 045, from the assets of the civil works revolving fund to the military activity of the Army that the Secretary determines is appropriate. Requires that the aircraft be made available on a priority basis as necessary for activities in support of the Army's civil works mission. Directs the Secretary to assume operation of the Sledge Bayou Drainage District's structure located in Quitman County, Mississippi. Amends the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 to require the Secretary to credit the Federal share of the cost of work by non-Federal interests on the Cherry Street Bridge in Massillon, Ohio, toward the non-Federal share of the cost of construction of the Walnut Street Bridge in Massillon. Requires that cost sharing requirements for the study of the Lake Erie-Ohio River Canal, Ohio and Pennsylvania, authorized by the Committee on Public Works and Transportation on October 1, 1986, be in accordance with the Water Resources Development Act of 1986. Directs the Secretary to perform maintenance dredging to maintain Pump Slough from its confluence with the West Pearl River to the boat ramps in the vicinity of Interstate 59 and Crawford and Davis landings. Authorizes for construction a project for flood control along the Santa Ana River in the vicinity of the city of Norco. Modifies the project for mitigation of fish and wildlife losses at the Canaveral Harbor West Basin and Approach Channel project, Florida, to authorize the Secretary to construct that part of the project consisting of: (1) reshaping of four spoil islands located in the Banana River; (2) installation of culverts along the existing levee of the south mosquito control impoundment of Merritt Island; and (3) rehabilitation of the existing pump station located at the southern tip of the south mosquito control impoundment. Directs the Secretary of the Army to design, construct, operate, and maintain Federal hydroelectric generating facilities at the Broken Bow Reregulation Dam on the Mountain Fork River in Oklahoma. Designates the Red Ark Development Authority as the non-Federal sponsor of such hydroelectric generating facilities. States that construction of such facilities shall be contingent upon the authority providing 100 percent of the costs to finance, design, and construct such facilities. Title II: Department of the Interior - Makes appropriations for FY 1990 to the Department of the Interior for the Bureau of Reclamation for: (1) engineering and economic investigations of Federal reclamation and water conservation projects; (2) construction and rehabilitation projects; (3) operation and maintenance of reclamation projects; (4) loans to irrigation districts for construction of distribution systems on authorized Federal reclamation projects; (5) general administrative expenses in certain Bureau of Reclamation offices; (6) the "Emergency Fund" as authorized by an Act of June 26, 1948; (7) acquisition of computer capacity for the Business System Acquisition project and other capital equipment; (8) replacement passenger motor vehicles and aircraft; and (9) recovery of archaeological and paleontological remains in specified areas. States that no part of any appropriation for the Bureau, contained in this Act or in any prior Act, which represents amounts earned under the terms of a contract but remaining unpaid, shall be obligated for any other purpose, regardless of when such amounts are to be paid. States that no funds appropriated to the Bureau for operation and maintenance, except those derived from advances by water users, shall be used for the particular benefits of lands: (1) within the boundaries of an irrigation district; (2) of any member of a water users' organization; or (3) of any individual when such district, organization, or individual is in arrears for more than 12 months in the payment of charges due under a contract entered into with the United States pursuant to laws administered by the Bureau. States that none of the funds made available by this or any other Act shall be used by the Bureau for contracts for surveying and mapping services unless such contracts for which a solicitation is issued after the date of this Act are awarded in accordance with the Federal Property and Administrative Service Act of 1949. Prohibits the uniform allowance for each uniformed employee of the Bureau from exceeding $400 annually. Makes appropriations available to the Department of Interior for: (1) damaged facilities or equipment belonging to the Department; (2) emergency prevention of forest or range fires; (3) operation of warehouses, garages, shops, and similar facilities, wherever consolidation of activities will contribute to efficiency or economy; and (4) general administrative expenses.

Requires the Secretary of Energy to ensure: (1) that at least ten percent of Federal funding for the development, construction, and operation of the Superconducting Super Collider be made available to business concerns or other organizations owned or controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals; and (2) significant participation with regard to the Collider by such individuals and economically disadvantaged women. Title IV: Independent Agencies - Makes appropriations for FY 1990 for: (1) programs authorized by the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965; (2) salaries and expenses of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; (3) salaries and expenses of, and the Federal contribution to, the Delaware River Basin Commission; (4) expenses of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin; (5) the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's expenses; (6) expenses of the Office of Inspector General of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; (7) expenses of the U.S. member of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission; (8) expenses of the Tennessee Valley Authority; and (9) expenses of the Office of the Nuclear Waste Negotiator and the Nuclear Waste Technical Review Board. Title V: General Provisions - Sets forth guidelines for the expenditure of appropriations under this Act. States that none of the funds appropriated in this Act shall be used to implement a program of retention contracts for senior employees of the Tennessee Valley Authority. States that none of the funds made available under this Act or any other law shall be used for conducting any studies relating to changing from the currently required "at cost" to a "market rate" or any other noncost-based method for the pricing of hydroelectric power by the six Federal public power authorities or other Federal agencies or authorities. Prohibits appropriations for the Power Marketing Administration or the Tennessee Valley Authority (including funds authorized to be expended from the Bonneville Power Administration Fund and the Tennessee Valley Authority Fund) from being used for procuring extra high voltage (EHV) power equipment unless such agencies award contracts for equipment manufactured in the United States when they determine that there are one or more manufacturers of domestic end products offering a product that meets the technical requirements at a price not exceeding 130 percent of the bid or offering price of the most competitive foreign bidder. Requires that such sums as may be necessary for FY 1990 pay raises for programs funded by this Act be absorbed within the levels appropriated in this Act.
