43 U.S.C. § 422f — Proposals for projects previously authorized; waiver of requirements; approval; negotiation of contract

submitted 70 years ago by ch. 972 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 109 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

A proposal for a project that Congress already authorized follows the same process as section 422d. But the Secretary can skip requirements that are already met or no longer needed. Once approved, the Secretary signs a contract following section 422e's rules.

If a project has already been authorized for construction under the federal reclamation laws, its proposal follows the same process as a proposal under section 422d. But the Secretary can waive some of section 422d's requirements — specifically those in subsections (a) and (b). The Secretary can only waive a requirement if it duplicates something already done, or if the government's earlier action makes it unnecessary or impossible to meet. Once the Secretary approves such a proposal, the Secretary can negotiate and sign a contract. That contract must follow the rules in section 422e as closely as possible.

Any proposal with respect to the construction of a project which has theretofore been authorized for construction under the Federal reclamation laws shall be made in like manner as a proposal under section 422d of this title, but the Secretary may waive such requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of section 422d of this title as he finds to be duplicative of, or rendered unnecessary or impossible by, action already taken by the United States. Upon approval of any such proposal by the Secretary he may negotiate and execute a contract which conforms, as nearly as may be, to the provisions of section 422e of this title.
