106-176, title I, Sec. 123(a), Mar. 10, 2000, 114 Stat. 29,
provided that: "The Congress finds that the Federal Government,
under the authority of the Reclamation Act [43 U.S.C. 371 et seq.]

activities and that such activities contribute to the well-being of
families and individuals and the economic viability of local
communities. The Congress further finds that in order to further
the purposes of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the President
should appoint an advisory commission to review the current and
anticipated demand for recreational opportunities at federally
managed man-made lakes and reservoirs through creative partnerships
involving Federal, State, and local governments and the private
sector and to develop alternatives for enhanced recreational use of
such facilities."

Sec. 460l-13. Non-Federal administration of project land and water
areas

-STATUTE-
(a) Allocation of costs
If, before authorization of a project, non-Federal public bodies
indicate their intent in writing to agree to administer project
land and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife
enhancement or for both of these purposes pursuant to the plan for
the development of the project approved by the head of the agency
having administrative jurisdiction over it and to bear not less
than one-half the separable costs of the project allocated to
recreation, and to bear one-quarter of such costs allocated to fish
and wildlife enhancement and not less than one-half the costs of
operation, maintenance, and replacement incurred therefor -
(1) the benefits of the project to said purpose or purposes
shall be taken into account in determining the economic benefits
of the project;
(2) costs shall be allocated to said purpose or purposes and to
other purposes in a manner which will insure that all project
purposes share equitably in the advantages of multiple-purpose
construction: Provided, That the costs allocated to recreation or
fish and wildlife enhancement shall not exceed the lesser of the
benefits from those functions or the costs of providing
recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits or
reasonably equivalent use and location by the least costly
alternative means; and
(3) not more than one-half the separable costs of the project
allocated to recreation and exactly three-quarters of such costs
allocated to fish and wildlife enhancement and all the joint
costs of the project allocated to recreation and fish and
wildlife enhancement shall be borne by the United States and be
nonreimbursable.

Projects authorized during the calendar year 1965 may include
recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement on the foregoing basis
without the required indication of intent. Execution of an
agreement as aforesaid shall be a prerequisite to commencement of
construction of any project to which this subsection is applicable.
(b) Non-Federal share of costs
The non-Federal share of the separable costs of the project
allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement shall be
borne by non-Federal interests, under either or both of the
following methods as may be determined appropriate by the head of
the Federal agency having jurisdiction over the project: (1)
payment, or provision of lands, interests therein, or facilities
for the project; or (2) repayment, with interest at a rate
comparable to that for other interest-bearing functions of Federal
water resource projects, within fifty years of first use of project
recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement facilities: Provided,
That the source of repayment may be limited to entrance and user
fees or charges collected at the project by non-Federal interests
if the fee schedule and the portion of fees dedicated to repayment
are established on a basis calculated to achieve repayment as
aforesaid and are made subject to review and renegotiation at
intervals of not more than five years.

Sec. 460l-14. Facilities of project modifications to be provided
without written indication of intent

-STATUTE-
(a) Other project purposes as justification; public health and
safety requirement of minimum facilities at access points; basis
for calculation of benefits; nonreimbursable costs
No facilities or project modifications which will furnish
recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits shall be
provided in the absence of the indication of intent with respect
thereto specified in section 460l-13(a) of this title unless (1)
such facilities or modifications serve other project purposes and
are justified thereby without regard to such incidental recreation
or fish and wildlife enhancement benefits as they may have or (2)
they are minimum facilities which are required for the public
health and safety and are located at access points provided by
roads existing at the time of project construction or constructed
for the administration and management of the project. Calculation
of the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement benefits in any
such case shall be based on the number of visitor-days anticipated
in the absence of recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement
facilities or modifications except as hereinbefore provided and on
the value per visitor-day of the project without such facilities or
modifications. Project costs allocated to recreation and fish and
wildlife enhancement on this basis shall be nonreimbursable.
(b) Preservation of recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement
potential; execution of agreements within ten year period;
disposition of lands in absence of such agreements, prohibition
against uses conflicting with project purposes, and preference to
uses promoting and not detracting from such potential
Notwithstanding the absence of an indication of intent as
specified in section 460l-13(a) of this title, lands may be
provided in connection with project construction to preserve the
recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement potential of the
project:
(1) If non-Federal public bodies execute an agreement after
initial operation of the project (which agreement shall provide
that the non-Federal public bodies will administer project land
and water areas for recreation or fish and wildlife enhancement
or both pursuant to the plan for the development of the project
approved by the head of the agency having administrative
jurisdiction over it and will bear not less than one-half the
costs of lands, facilities, and project modifications provided
for recreation, and will bear one-quarter of such costs for fish
and wildlife enhancement, and not less than one-half the costs of
planning studies, and the costs of operation, maintenance, and
replacement attributable thereto) the remainder of the costs of
lands, facilities, and project modifications provided pursuant to
this paragraph shall be nonreimbursable. Such agreement and
subsequent development, however, shall not be the basis for any
reallocation of joint costs of the project to recreation or fish
and wildlife enhancement.
(2) If, within ten years after initial operation of the
project, there is not an executed agreement as specified in
paragraph (1) of this subsection, the head of the agency having
jurisdiction over the project may utilize the lands for any
lawful purpose within the jurisdiction of his agency, or may
offer the land for sale to its immediate prior owner or his
immediate heirs at its appraised fair market value as approved by
the head of the agency at the time of offer or, if a firm
agreement by said owner or his immediate heirs is not executed
within ninety days of the date of the offer, may transfer custody
of the lands to another Federal agency for use for any lawful
purpose within the jurisdiction of that agency, or may lease the
lands to a non-Federal public body, or may transfer the lands to
the Administrator of General Services for disposition in
accordance with the surplus property laws of the United States.
In no case shall the lands be used or made available for use for
any purpose in conflict with the purposes for which the project
was constructed, and in every case except that of an offer to
purchase made, as hereinbefore provided, by the prior owner or
his heirs preference shall be given to uses which will preserve
and promote the recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement
potential of the project or, in the absence thereof, will not
detract from that potential.
(c) Expansion or modification of existing facilities
(1) Any recreation facility constructed under this part may be
expanded or modified if -
(A) the facility is inadequate to meet recreational demands;
and
(B) a non-Federal public body executes an agreement which
provides that such public body -
(i) will administer the expanded or modified facilities
pursuant to a plan for development for the project that is
approved by the agency with administrative jurisdiction over
the project; and
(ii) will bear not less than one-half of the planning and
capital costs of such expansion or modification and not less
than one-half of the costs of the operation, maintenance, and
replacement attributable to the expansion of the facility.

(2) The Federal share of the cost of expanding or modifying a
recreational facility described in paragraph (1) may not exceed 50
percent of the total cost of expanding or modifying the facility.
