This aims to speed up the recovery process, ensuring public access and safety are restored sooner. Strict reporting requirements are included to maintain transparency regarding all expenditures and contractor activities.

Oversight and Transparency: Detailed reports must be submitted to Congress every 180 days, covering all costs, potential fraud, and conflicts of interest related to the recovery work.
Time Limit: This special contracting authority will expire after 5 years or once all restoration work is fully completed.
