This section lets the Secretary of the Interior hand over irrigation project works to local water users, if he chooses to. A legally organized water-users' association or irrigation district can request this transfer. The Secretary of the Interior has discretion — he does not have to agree, but he may. If he agrees, he can transfer the care, operation, and maintenance of all or part of the project works to the association or district. The transfer is subject to rules and regulations the Secretary sets.
