TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS
CHAPTER 12B--COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT
Sec. 620e. Cost allocations; Indian lands; report to Congress
Upon completion of each unit, participating project or separable
feature thereof, the Secretary shall allocate the total costs (excluding
any expenditures authorized by section 620g of this title) of
constructing said unit, project or feature to power, irrigation,
municipal water supply, flood control, navigation, or any other purposes
authorized under reclamation law. Allocations of construction, operation
and maintenance costs to authorized nonreimbursable purposes shall be
nonreturnable under the provisions of this chapter. In the event that
the Navajo participating project is authorized, the costs allocated to
irrigation of Indian-owned tribal or restricted lands within, under, or
served by such project, and beyond the capability of such lands to
repay, shall be determined, and, in recognition of the fact that
assistance to the Navajo Indians is the responsibility of the entire
nation, such costs shall be nonreimbursable. On January 1 of each year
the Secretary shall report to the Congress for the previous fiscal year,
beginning with the fiscal year 1957, upon the status of the revenues
from, and the cost of, constructing, operating, and maintaining the
Colorado River storage project and the participating projects. The
Secretary's report shall be prepared to reflect accurately the Federal
investment allocated at that time to power, to irrigation, and to other
purposes, the progress of return and repayment thereon, and the
estimated rate of progress, year by year, in accomplishing full
repayment.
