FEDERAL RECLAMATION AND RELATED LAWS ANNOTATED (PRELIMINARY) UNITED STATES BUREAU OF RECLAMATION FEDERAL RECLAMATION AND RELATED LAWS ANNOTATED (PRELIMINARY) SUPPLEMENT II 1983-1998 SUPPLEMENT TO VOLUMES I-IV INDEX UNITED STATES BUREAU OF RECLAMATION John W. Keys, III, Commissioner Donald L. Walker Editor iii PREFACE The original three volumes of Federal Reclamation and Related Laws Annotated, published by the Department of the Interior in 1972, have proven to be an invaluable reference source for everyone interested in knowing the legal history of the Federal Reclamation program authorized by the Reclamation Act of 1902 and the related hydroelectric power marketing program that was transferred to the Department of Energy in 1977. In 1988, two additional volumes, Volume IV and Supplement I, brought that legal history up to date through 1982. These two volumes, Volume V and Supplement II, bring the legal history up to date through 1998. These two volumes do not include interpretative annotations concerned with solicitor opinions and court cases. For this reason, these two volumes are viewed as preliminary and, therefore, printed in paperback form, rather than hardback. These two volumes are a compilation of the Federal Reclamation laws and other statutes that directly affect the program responsibilities of the Bureau of Reclamation, power marketing agencies of the Department of Energy, and other selected statutes that relate to these programs. John W. Keys, III Commissioner, Bureau of Reclamation v FOREWORD This Supplement II to Volumes I, II, III, and IV, together with Volume V, updates Federal Reclamation and Related Laws Annotated through 1998. Supplement II contains amendments to laws included in the first four volumes. Accordingly, when reference is made in Volume V to laws contained in the earlier volumes, Supplement II should be consulted to determine whether the referenced statute has been amended during the period of 1983 through 1998. It also contains a consolidated index of all five volumes and the two Supplements. In selected instances, the entire law, as amended, is included in Supplement II to consolidate the current law in one place. Volume V contains the statutes, enacted or approved from 1983 through 1998, that directly affect the program responsibilities of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Alaska, Bonneville, Southwestern, and Western Area Power Administrations of the Department of Energy, together with other selected laws that relate to their programs. The pages in Volumes I, II, and III, are numbered sequentially, from page 1 through 2211. The pages in Volume IV begin with 2301 and continue through 3368. Volume V begins with page 3369 and continues on to the end. Supplement I references the page number and date of the amended act at the top of the page and displays its page numbers at the bottom of the page beginning with S1 and continuing through S807. Supplement II begins with page S808 and continues sequentially to the end. With respect to the other four volumes, Volume V and Supplement II are not complete works. They do not include private laws and interpretive annotations of court decisions and opinions, as the earlier volumes do. The development and inclusion of interpretive annotations covering court decisions, legal opinions, and the identification and inclusion of relevant private laws remain to be done for a subsequent edition. Also, an appendix of related laws has not been included. Whether or not to develop and include an appendix of related laws in the future depends upon comments received. With the relatively easy access to codified statutes on the World Wide Web and other sources, publishing an appendix of related laws may be redundant. Every effort has been made to make the work as complete and accurate as possible with the available resources. Suggestions for corrections and additions are invited and should be submitted to the Office of Policy, Attention: D-5000, Denver Federal Center, Bldg. 67, P.O. Box 25007, Denver, CO 80225-0007.
