Summary

When the United States signs a contract with an irrigation district under sections 511 and 512, certain public lands in that district must follow all the rules in chapter 13 of this title. This covers lands that are open for entry and lands already entered but still lacking final certificates, if the Secretary of the Interior names them in the contract. The irrigation district does not have to file the map or plan that section 623 would otherwise require for approval by the Secretary of the Interior.
