SUBCHAPTER II--RECLAMATION FUND GENERALLY
Sec. 392a. Payment into reclamation fund of receipts from
irrigation projects; transfer of power revenues to General
Treasury after repayment of construction costs
All moneys received by the United States in connection with any
irrigation projects, including the incidental power features thereof,
constructed by the Secretary of the Interior through the Bureau of
Reclamation, and financed in whole or in part with moneys heretofore or
hereafter appropriated or allocated therefor by the Federal Government,
shall be covered into the reclamation fund, except in cases where
provision has been made by law or contract for the use of such revenues
for the benefit of users of water from such project: Provided, That
after the net revenues derived from the sale of power developed in
connection with any of said projects shall have repaid those
construction costs of such project allocated to power to be repaid by
power revenues therefrom and shall no longer be required to meet the
contractual obligations of the United States, then said net revenues
derived from the sale of power developed in connection with such project
shall, after the close of each fiscal year, be transferred to and
covered into the General Treasury as ``miscellaneous receipts'':
Provided further, That nothing in this section shall be construed to
amend the Boulder Canyon Project Act (45 Stat. 1057), as amended [43
U.S.C. 617 et seq.], or to apply to irrigation projects of the Office of
Indian Affairs.
(May 9, 1938, ch. 187, 52 Stat. 322.)
