Such is the case with respect to allocations to navigation, flood control, and to the preservation and propa- gation of fish and wildlife.514 The provisions of Reclamation Law expressly contemplating the return of project costs are separate, it may be noted, from those governing repayment by irrigation water users, or the fixing of rates in contracts for power or for the furnishing of water for municipal water supply or miscellaneous purposes.515 While these two approaches to return of project costs need not differ, there are differences in fact, as we shall shortly see.516 One such difference may be noted at the outset. The alloca- tion provisions of Reclamation Law do not refer to interest. And it has been administratively determined that repayment with interest is not required and that, when interest is collected in the form of power rates, the statute permits any interest component of such revenues to be applied to the repayment of the construction investment.517 In the case of power from reservoir projects under Army control, on the other hand, the cost of interest is one of the costs included in the setting of power rates, despite the lack of express statutory requirement 514 § 9(b), 53 Stat. 1194, 43 U. S. C. 485h(b) ; Act of August 14, 1946, § 2, 60 Stat. 1080,16 U. S. C. 662. ™ See, e. g., § 9(c), 53 Stat. 1194, 43 U. S. C. 485h(c). 814 So far as the term, "return of project costs," suggests return of moneys for the general use of the Government, there are other differences not de- veloped here. If, as in the case of the Reclamation Fund, parts of such costs are returned to a special fund for specific purposes, such moneys are not returned for general use by the Government. In this connection, see the discussion of special funds, supra, pp. 574-578. 817 With respect to the interpretation of the Act as permitting the appli- cation of interest, collected as a component of power rates, to the return to the United States of irrigation costs to be borne by power, see supra, pp. 295-296. It should be noted, however, that one of the two pricing standards ap- plicable to contracts to furnish water for municipal water supply or miSr cellaneous purposes requires the return of interest "if the Secretary determines an interest charge to be proper." § 9(c), 53 Stat. 1194, 43 U. S. C. 485h(c). |
