§510 — Title 43 Public Lands | U.S. Code

Summary

Sets the meanings of key words used in this part. An inspection is a check the Secretary makes on a project facility to see its overall condition and to estimate how much property and how many people would be at risk if the facility fails, is breached, or causes flooding. A project facility is any part of a project built under the Federal Reclamation Law (Act of June 17, 1902), but not high- or significant-hazard dams. Reserved works are facilities the Secretary operates and maintains. The Secretary means the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Commissioner of Reclamation. Transferred works are facilities whose operation and maintenance a non‑Federal entity performs under a formal transfer contract, and the transferred works operating entity is the organization with that contract. Extraordinary operation and maintenance work is major, nonrecurring work on Reclamation-owned or run facilities to keep them safe and reliable that costs more than 10 percent of the contractor’s or operator’s annual O&M budget for the facility or more than $100,000.
