(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on December 1, 2010. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Directs the Secretary to ensure that the evaluation of permits carried out using such funds: (1) is reviewed by the District Commander of the Corps District in which the project or activity is located (or the Commander's designee), or by the Commander of the Corps Division in which the District is located if the permit evaluation is initially conducted by the District Commander; and (2) utilizes the same procedures for decisions that would otherwise be required for the evaluation of permits for similar projects or activities not carried out using such funds. Prohibits funds contributed for the evaluation of permits from being used for such review.

Directs the Secretary to ensure that all final permit decisions carried out using such funds are made available to the public, including on the Internet.
