                         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.

(Apr. 11, 1956, ch. 203, Sec. 6, 70 Stat. 109.)
