                         TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS
 
  CHAPTER 12--RECLAMATION AND IRRIGATION OF LANDS BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
 
              SUBCHAPTER IV--CONSTRUCTION OF SMALL PROJECTS
 
Sec. 422j. Appropriations; notice to Congress of receipt of 
        proposal; funds to initiate proposal; availability of 
        appropriations; reimbursement; limitations on expenditures in 
        any single State; waiver
        
    There are authorized to be appropriated, such sums as may be 
necessary, but not to exceed $600,000,000, to carry out the provisions 
of this subchapter and, effective October 1, 1986, not to exceed an 
additional $600,000,000: Provided, That the Secretary shall advise the 
Congress promptly on the receipt of each proposal referred to in section 
422c of this title, and no contract shall become effective until 
appropriated funds are available to initiate the specific proposal 
covered by each contract. All such appropriations shall remain available 
until expended and shall, insofar as they are used to finance loans made 
under this subchapter, be reimbursable in the manner hereinabove 
provided. Not more than 20 percent of the total amount of additional 
funds authorized to be appropriated effective October 1, 1986, for loans 
and grants pursuant to this subchapter shall be for projects in any 
single State: Provided, That beginning five years after October 27, 
1986, the Secretary is authorized to waive the 20 percent limitation for 
loans and grants which meet the purposes set forth in section 422a of 
this title: Provided further, That the decision of the Secretary to 
waive the limitation shall be submitted to the Congress together with 
the project proposal pursuant to section 422d(c) of this title and shall 
become effective only if the Congress has not, within 60 legislative 
days, passed a joint resolution of disapproval for such a waiver.
