Plain-English Summary

The Army Secretary would have to create clear rules for how the government reviews requests from companies or individuals who want to change, temporarily use, or permanently use existing hydropower dams and water projects. This would make the approval process more consistent and transparent for businesses and organizations that depend on these facilities for power generation or water management. The bill affects hydropower companies, dam operators, and anyone seeking to modify how these water projects are used.
