Search 33 U.S.C. § 561a : US Code - Section 561A: Contributions from local interests; reduction to meet lowered cost

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.
