BUDGET BUREAU CIRCULAR A-47 AND POWER PARTNERSHIP 57 shall be evaluated and considered apart from other project costs and benefits. Only the incremental costs expected to be incurred in providing recreational facilities as described in the following paragraphs (e) and (/) shall be allocated to recreation. (c) Potential damages to existing recreation areas, facilities, or values shall be recognized in planning for water resources programs and projects, and the financial costs of prevention of such damage, or the replacement of such areas or facilities, to the extent practicable, shall be clearly set forth. All such costs shall be considered as joint or common costs and equitably allocated among the major purposes served by the project. (d) Minimum basic facilities and services for protection of the program or project area and the accommodation or protection of the visiting public, usually at the location of the dam site, shall not be considered recreational facilities, but necessary adjuncts to the construction of Federal projects. The costs of these facilities and services shall be considered as joint or common costs and allocated to the major purposes for which such projects are constructed. (e) When modification in the design of a project or additional development in the project area, including access roads, is required in order to make recreational values available to the public, such modification or development shall be included in the project proposal only if: (1) The States or local governments or other beneficiaries agree to repay the full cost thereof; or (2) Such values are clearly indicated to be of national significance in accordance with criteria set forth in paragraph (g) following; and if either (a) the work is proposed to be authorized as a part of the national park or national forest programs for this area and is to be financed by appropriations made for these programs, or (b) the letter transmitting the proposed report to the Congress contains proposed authorizing language stating the maximum amount of such cost which would be borne by the Federal Government. (/) Where the public interest in the protection and preservation of recreation values of any water-resources program or project require the purchase or the setting aside of a limited amount of additional land therefor, any costs thereof may properly be considered a Federal expense and allocated to recreation development. Where such recreation values are not of national significance, however, the costs of such purchase or setting aside of lands shall be recommended as a Federal expense only if State or local governments have, through an appropriate official, indicated an unwillingness or inability to protect and preserve such values. The acquisition of lands by the Federal Government to protect recreation values shall ordinarily be restricted to areas to which access roads are likely to be built. In cases where recreation values are of State or local significance, the lands acquired by the Federal Government shall be sold, leased, or licensed, or (in exceptional cases) granted, under appropriate rules or regulations, to State or local governments for development as soon as possible. All funds derived from such sales or leases shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury. There shall be pro" ided a specific list and description of such lands recommended for acquisition or withdrawal and the reasons why their acquisition or withdrawal is required to protect or preserve recreation values. (g) In determining whether the recreation resources of a Federal water resources project area are of national significance, the following criteria shall be considered: (1) The water resource project itself is such as to make it a subject of continuing nation™ ide public interest. (2) The presence within or adjacent to the water resource area of outstanding scenic, historical, scientific, or archeological values of interest to the general public makes development of the recreation resource a matter of national interest. (3) The recreation area, after development, will probably be used by a substantial number of residents of States other than the State or States in which the project area is located. (4) The relation and proximity of the water resource project area to a national park, monument, national forest, or wilderness area is such that the recreation development will supplement the program on those federally administered areas. SO. Additional standards relating to domestic, municipal, and industrial water supply Proposals for water supply aspects of Federal water resource development programs and projects will be re^iev ed in accordance with the following criteria: (a) Domestic, municipal, industrial, and other similar water supply shall be
