  CHAPTER 12--RECLAMATION AND IRRIGATION OF LANDS BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
 
          SUBCHAPTER VII--EXCHANGE AND AMENDMENT OF FARM UNITS
 
Sec. 451e. Amendment of farm unit; application; amount of land; 
        exchange; waiver
        
    Upon timely application by an entryman on an unpatented farm unit on 
a Federal irrigation project, which shall be found by the Secretary, 
pursuant to a land classification, to be insufficient to support a 
family, the Secretary may, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to 
him, amend the farm unit of said entryman, combine all or a part of the 
lands of said farm unit with other contiguous or noncontiguous lands on 
the same project which are declared by the Secretary to be open to entry 
or purchase, and thereby form and designate an amended farm unit for 
said entryman, which in no event shall exceed three hundred and twenty 
acres of land containing not more than one hundred and sixty irrigable 
acres designated by the Secretary. The acceptance of the amended farm 
unit by the applicant shall be deemed an exchange within the meaning of 
this subchapter. In extending the benefits of this section to a resident 
owner of private lands as provided in section 451a of this title, the 
Secretary may waive, in whole or in part, the provisions of clause (iii) 
of subsection (b) of section 451a of this title.
