Title 42 · §10364
Water management improvement
Gives the federal government the authority to award grants or make agreements to help eligible groups plan, design, or build projects that save or better manage water. Projects can focus on things like conserving water, using water more efficiently, supporting water markets, improving water management (including using more renewable energy), using advanced treatment to increase supply, helping meet interstate water agreements, protecting or recovering species and habitats, restoring natural features, or planning for drought and water conflicts. To get money, applicants must be in the states and areas listed by law (section 391 of title 43), or in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, and must submit a project proposal. If a project expects measurable water savings and requests $500,000 or more, the applicant must include a monitoring plan of at least 5 years showing streamflow or habitat benefits, or explain how it meets other goals. Grants are nonreimbursable and generally cover up to 50% of project costs. The federal share can be up to 75% for projects made through collaborative planning that mostly advance an established water reliability strategy. In-kind services may count toward the nonfederal share, but other federal money cannot. Individual awards are capped at $5,000,000. Recipients must not use saved irrigation water to expand irrigated acres or increase consumptive use, except tribes may expand only within their legal water rights. The federal government keeps title to federally owned facilities, requires nonfederal parties to pay 100% of operation and maintenance, is liable only as allowed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, and will give priority to projects that improve drought resilience. Research agreements with universities and nonprofits for similar water goals are also allowed. Up to $1,000,000,000 is authorized to carry out these programs, available until spent.
Title 42 · §7406
REPORT TO THE CONGRESS.
Within 60 days of enactment (Apr. 7, 1986), the Corporation must send a report to 3 committees. It must review Phase I Business Plan (Feb. 19, 1985) and meet section 126(b)(3) (42 U.S.C. 8722(b)(3)).
Title 42 · §7405
SALARIES AND COMPENSATION RIGHTS.
The Director of the Office of Personnel Management must, before February 1, 1986, figure out how much pay or benefits each Director, officer, and employee of the Corporation was legally entitled to under any contract as of April 7, 1986. Starting April 7, 1986, no change to pay or benefits may happen unless that Director says it is reasonable. No officer or employee may be paid more than the basic pay for Level IV of the Executive Schedule (title 5). The Corporation cannot waive any By‑Law rules needed to qualify for pension or termination benefits that were in effect on April 7, 1986.
Title 42 · §7404
DUTIES OF SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
The Secretary of the Treasury must take over the Chairman’s role for the Corporation within 60 days after April 7, 1986 (sooner if the Board has no Chairman). The Secretary can negotiate and sign changes to the existing oil-shale contract for making synthetic crude oil that came from the 1980 Defense Production Act and was given to Treasury to manage. Any change must either cost the government the same or save money, must not raise the government’s total financial risk, must not increase the original total funds authorized, and must not increase or speed up the per-unit financial support for the fuel. The Secretary’s duties under subtitle J of part B of title I of the Energy Security Act cannot be moved to another federal agency. The Advisory Committee set up by section 123 of the Energy Security Act stays in place to advise the Secretary about any contracts under subtitle D of part B of title I. If the Secretary must act under section 131(q) about a financial award or commitment, that action must be finished within 30 days after April 7, 1986.
Title 42 · §7403
TERMINATION OF THE CORPORATION.
Directors must stop doing their jobs and be discharged within 60 days after April 7, 1986. The Corporation must end within 120 days after April 7, 1986, unless this subtitle says otherwise, and the shutdown must follow the rules in Subtitle J of Part B of Title I of the Energy Security Act (42 U.S.C. 8791–8793).
Title 42 · §7402
CESSATION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AUTHORITY.
Starting on Apr. 7, 1986, the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation must stop making new legally binding financial awards or commitments under the Energy Security Act for synthetic fuel projects, and it may not change existing awards or commitments. Agreements made before Apr. 7, 1986 stay in force, and the Corporation, its Board or Chairman, and project sponsors must still carry out and finish those earlier deals as agreed.
