Sec. 561a. Contributions from local interests; reduction to meet

When the authorization of a project of river and harbor improvement
requires that local interests shall contribute a specific sum of money
toward its cost, the Secretary of the Army, upon the recommendation of
the Chief of Engineers, may reduce the sum to be contributed to an
amount which shall be in the same ratio to the amount of the required
contribution as the actual cost of the work to which said contribution
is applicable bears to its original estimated cost as set forth in the
project document.
