            SUBCHAPTER XIII--GENERAL AUTHORITY OF COMMISSION
 
Sec. 2208. Payments in lieu of taxes

    In order to render financial assistance to those States and 
localities in which the activities of the Commission are carried on, and 
in which the Commission has acquired property previously subject to 
State and local taxation, the Commission is authorized to make payments 
to State and local governments in lieu of property taxes. Such payments 
may be in the amounts, at the times, and upon the terms the Commission 
deems appropriate, but the Commission shall be guided by the policy of 
not making payments in excess of the taxes which would have been payable 
for such property in the condition in which it was acquired, except in 
cases where special burdens have been cast upon the State or local 
government by activities of the Commission, the Manhattan Engineer 
District or their agents. In any such case, any benefit accruing to the 
State or local government by reason of such activities shall be 
considered in determining the amount of the payment.
