§805 Participation by Government in costs of locks, etc.

Summary

When an application affects U.S. navigable waters and the commission finds locks or other navigation structures are needed but the applicant cannot reasonably provide them under section 804(a), the commission can approve the license but require the licensee to build the structures if the U.S. government does not act by the deadline in the license. The commission must send Congress cost estimates for the power work and the navigation structures, plus recommendations on federal cost participation.
