SEC. 10__. VIRGINIA PENINSULA COASTAL STORM RISK MANAGEMENT,
VIRGINIA.

(a) In General.--In carrying out the feasibility study for
flood risk management, ecosystem restoration, and navigation,
Coastal Virginia, authorized by section 1201(9) of the Water
Resources Development Act of 2018 (132 Stat. 3802), the
Secretary of the Army (referred to in this section as the
``Secretary'') is authorized to use funds made available to
the Secretary for water resources development investigations
to analyze, at full Federal expense, a measure benefitting
Federal land under the administrative 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
reduce risk to a military installation, 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).
