II Studies and Reports
(a) In general. In carrying out the study for ecosystem restoration, Imperial Streams Salton Sea, California, authorized by resolution of the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate on April 28, 2016 (114th Congress, 2d Session), the Secretary shall not exclude a measure or alternative from consideration or selection solely because the measure or alternative is located on land under the jurisdiction of another Federal agency.
(b) Savings provisions. Nothing in this section—
(1) precludes—
(A) a Federal agency with administrative jurisdiction over Federal land in the study area from contributing funds for any portion of the cost of analyzing a measure as part of the study described in subsection (a) that benefits that land; or
(B) the Secretary, at the request of the non-Federal interest for the study described in subsection (a), from using funds made available to the Secretary for water resources development investigations to formulate measures to restore such Federal land, if the non-Federal interest shares in the cost to formulate those measures to the same extent that the non-Federal interest is required to share in the cost of the study; or
(2) waives the cost-sharing requirements of a Federal agency for the construction of an authorized water resources development project or a separable element of that project that results from the study described in subsection (a).
