Under Army regulations, available Fort Peck funds may reimburse school districts for educating and transporting dependents of project workers living on untaxable United States property. The reimbursement is limited by the pupils’ share of school attendance costs, with a required Bureau repayment for power-operation costs.
Under regulations issued by the Secretary of the Army, available Fort Peck funds may pay school districts in advance or afterward for educational facilities, including transportation when appropriate, provided to pupils who depend on project workers. The workers must be building, operating, or maintaining the project and living at or near Fort Peck on United States real property that State or local agencies cannot tax and for which the United States makes no payments instead of taxes. For each school year, payment cannot exceed the facilities’ operating and maintenance cost multiplied by the fraction whose numerator is those pupils’ average daily attendance and whose denominator is all pupils’ average daily attendance at the schools. Of the total paid in a fiscal year, the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation must repay the Army Secretary from the continuing fund under section 833i the part properly charged as an operating cost of generating and transmitting power delivered to the Bureau.
Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, payments may be made, in advance or otherwise, from any funds available for the Fort Peck project, Montana, to the school district or districts serving that project as reimbursement for educational facilities (including, where appropriate, transportation to and from school) furnished by the said district or districts to pupils who are dependents of persons engaged in the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project and living at or near Fort Peck upon real property of the United States not subject to taxation by State or local agencies and upon which payments in lieu of taxes are not made by the United States, which payments for any school year shall not exceed that part of the cost of operating and maintaining such facilities which the number of pupils aforesaid in average daily attendance during that year bears to the whole number of pupils in average daily attendance at those schools during that year: Provided, That of the whole amount so paid in any fiscal year, the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, shall reimburse the Secretary of the Army from the continuing fund provided in section 833i of this title, that part which is properly chargeable as an operation expense incident to the generation and transmission of power delivered to the Bureau under said section.
