Show 610 (Bonneville Project and Fort Peck Project)-As to each of these projects it is required that power-rate schedules be determined with due regard to and predicated upon the fact that power is developed from water power created as an inci- dent to the construction of the project for the specified statu- tory purposes. In addition, both Acts further stipulate sub- stantially the same requirement respecting the manner of drawing rate schedules as that previously, set forth for power from reservoir projects under Army control.620 (Indian Projects)-In the case of the Flathead Indian Irri- gation Project, power is sold at the lowest rates which, in the judgment of the Secretary of the Interior, will repay power costs and certain irrigation costs.621 In the case of the Coolidge Dam, power revenues are used to repay power and irrigation costs and to make improvemeats on the irrigation project.622 Such power revenues may also be used to liquidate the cost of transmission lines.623 (California Debris Commission Projects)-The special stat- ute applicable to debris reservoirs of the California Debris Commission merely authorizes the Secretary of the Army to enter into contracts for, among other purposes, "power devel- opment upon such conditions of delivery, use, and payment as he may approve."624 (Hungry Horse Dam)-Although the statute authorizing this dam makes express provision for power generation, it includes no standard for fixing rates.625 (Review of Rates)-Rate schedules for surplus power at res- ervoir projects under Army control become effective upon "con- firmation and approval" by the Federal Power Commission.626 Similar approval is required in the case of power generated at projects covered by the Bonneville Project and Fort Peck 620 Act of August 20, 1937, § 7, 50 Stat. 731, 735, 16 U.
