Summary

Land inside the Recreation Area must follow the federal rules for payments instead of local taxes under chapter 69 of title 31. Money from user charges, fees, and use of natural resources (like timber and farm receipts) will not be sent to States under section 500. After the administrative transfer under section 460lll–41, the Tennessee Valley Authority must keep calculating payments to States and counties under section 831l. Each State that gets a payment under that rule (including Kentucky and Tennessee) must keep figuring how to split those payments with its state and local governments as if the transfer had not happened.
