Summary

Land inside the Recreation Area must follow the rules for payments instead of property taxes under chapter 69 of title 31. Money from charges, use fees, and using natural resources (like timber and farm receipts) cannot be sent to States under section 500 of this title. After administrative control is moved under section 460lll–41, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) must keep calculating payments to States and counties under section 831l. Each State that gets a payment under that section — including the State of Kentucky, the State of Tennessee, and any other State — must keep figuring how to split the money with its local governments just as if the transfer had not happened.
