Summary

If a water project authorized for the Secretary of the Army had not started construction by March 7, 1974, and the law requires non-Federal public bodies to pay a cash share of the construction costs (or part of them), those public bodies may repay that share in annual payments during the time the project is built if no other law lets them spread the payments out. If those non-Federal public bodies ask, the Secretary of the Army may change existing cost‑sharing agreements to allow these annual payments.
