Any proposal with respect to the construction of a project which has theretofore been authorized for construction under the Federal reclamation laws shall be made in like manner as a proposal under [section 422d of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title43-section422d&num=0&edition=prelim), but the Secretary may waive such requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of [section 422d of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title43-section422d&num=0&edition=prelim) as he finds to be duplicative of, or rendered unnecessary or impossible by, action already taken by the United States.
