Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026

S. 3293 would provide federal funding for fiscal year 2026 to several agencies responsible for energy and water development. The bill allocates appropriations to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for civil works projects including flood control, coastal emergencies, and water infrastructure financing. It also funds the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Project.

The Department of Energy would receive appropriations under this bill for a wide range of programs, including renewable energy, nuclear energy, fossil energy, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, environmental cleanup, and nuclear waste disposal. Additionally, the bill would fund independent agencies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversee energy markets and nuclear safety.

If enacted, this bill would establish spending levels for these agencies' operations and projects throughout fiscal year 2026. The bill also includes requirements and restrictions on how the appropriated funds may be used. Currently, the bill has been introduced in the Senate and referred to committee for consideration, but has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
