TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 52--SALMON AND STEELHEAD CONSERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT
SUBCHAPTER III--RESOURCE ENHANCEMENT
Sec. 3323. Approval and funding of projects
(a) In general
The Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, may
approve any project that is consistent with an approved enhancement plan
and the provisions of this chapter, and shall promptly notify the
States, the treaty tribes and, upon request, any other interested party
of the approval of a project and the amount of funding made available
under this chapter for such project.
(b) Limitations on Federal share
The total Federal share of all enhancement projects funded annually
by this section shall not exceed 50 percent of the total amount expended
for such projects, except that this limitation shall not apply to
projects proposed by treaty tribes acting through the appropriate tribal
coordinating body. A State share may include both real and personal
property. Title to, or other interest in, such property shall remain
within the State. The State of Washington shall be treated on December
22, 1980, as having expended $32,000,000 (reduced by the amount treated
as expended by the State under section 3336 of this title) on
enhancement projects set forth in the plan which are eligible for
assistance under this chapter. The Federal share shall be paid in such
amounts and at such times as the Secretary deems appropriate, consistent
with this chapter and the goals of the comprehensive plan.
