Show 615 Recreation.-As previously indicated, recreational facilities at certain Reclamation projects are operated by the National Park Service pursuant to interagency agreements.647 These agreements contain no provision regarding price. The au- thorization for recreational use of reservoir projects under Army control permits the Secretary of the Army to grant leases "upon such terms as he may deem reasonable." ** Leases to nonprofit organizations may be granted at "reduced or nominal rentals."649 Licenses to federal, state, or local governmental agencies may be granted "without monetary consideration," when determined to be in the public interest and for "such pe- riods of time and upon such conditions" as the Secretary of the Army finds advisable.650 And when he determines it not to be contrary to the public interest, the water areas of such reser- voirs shall be open to public use generally "without charge" for recreational purposes.881 No price standard is fixed to cover conveyances for recrea- tional purposes by the Tennessee Valley Authority.652 Substantially the same situation exists with respect to au- thorizations for recreational uses of national parks.653 So also as to certain relevant authorizations permitting recreational uses of national forests, of the so-called "O and C lands," and of retired submarginal lands.654 647 See supra, p. 333. 648 Act of December 22, 1944, § 4, 58 Stat. 887, 889, as amended, 16 U.
