The Secretary of the Interior shall carry out a coastal hazard pilot project to produce draft maps of areas which could be added to the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System that are and will be vulnerable to coastal hazards, such as flooding, storm surge, wind, erosion and sea level rise, and areas not in such System to which barriers and associated habitats are likely to migrate as sea level rises. The coastal hazard pilot project shall consist of the creation of maps for no more than 10 percent of the System, one-third of which shall be otherwise protected areas as that term is defined in section 12 of the Coastal Barrier Improvement Act of 1990 ( 16 U.S.C. 3503 note;

Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives a report describing the results of the coastal hazard pilot project and the criteria and costs of completing coastal hazard maps for the entire System. The report shall include a description of— the final recommended maps created under the coastal hazard pilot project; recommendations for the adoption of the digital maps created under this section by Congress; a summary of the comments received from the Governors of the States, other government officials, and the public regarding the maps; and a description of the criteria and the amount of funding necessary for completing coastal hazard maps for the entire System.
