    (a) In carrying out their responsibilities for implementing the 
Plan, the Corps of Engineers, the South Florida Water Management 
District, and other non-Federal sponsors shall rely on the best 
available science including models and other analytical tools for 
conducting analyses for the planning, design, construction, operation, 
and assessment of projects. The selection of models and analytical tools 
shall be done in consultation with the Department of the Interior, the 
Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, the 
Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, 
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and other Federal, 
State, and local agencies.

Department of the Interior, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, 
the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the Environmental Protection Agency, the 
Department of Commerce, the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection, and other Federal, State, and local agencies, periodically 
revise models and analytical tools or develop new models and analytical 
tools as needed. As appropriate, RECOVER shall review the adequacy of 
system-wide simulation models and analytical tools used in the 
evaluation and assessment of projects, and shall propose improvements in 
system-wide models and analytical tools required for the evaluation and 
assessment tasks.
    (c) The Corps of Engineers and the South Florida Water Management 
District shall determine on a case-by-case basis what documentation is 
appropriate for revisions to models and analytic tools, depending on the 
significance of the changes and their impacts to the Plan. Such changes 
may be treated as Minor Changes to the Plan, in accordance with Sec.  
385.32(c) where appropriate.
