  SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
  
      Section 117 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 
  1267) is amended by striking subsection (l) (as redesignated by section 
  2) and inserting the following:
      ``(l) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be 
  appropriated to carry out this section $50,000,000 for each of fiscal 
  years 2006 through 2010, to remain available until expended.''.
target: Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization and Environmental Accountability Act of 2005 - Amends the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to: (1) complete a plan for achieving the nutrient and sediment reduction goals described in the Chesapeake 2000 Agreement; (2) publish and circulate an annual tributary health report card to evaluate progress made in achieving and maintaining nutrient and sediment reduction goals for each major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay; and (3) make annual reports to Congress on nutrient and sediment reduction in the Chesapeake Bay.
  
  Requires the states of Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia and the District of Columbia to submit information to the Administrator annually on actions taken by such states to achieve nutrient and sediment reductions in the Chesapeake Bay.
  
  Directs the Office of Management and Budget to report to Congress on the funding of restoration activities in the Chesapeake Bay.
  
  Increases and extends through FY2010 the authorization of appropriations for the Chesapeake Bay Program.
