TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 12--FEDERAL REGULATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF POWER
SUBCHAPTER I--REGULATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF WATER POWER AND RESOURCES
Sec. 805. Participation by Government in costs of locks, etc.
Whenever application is filed for a project hereunder involving
navigable waters of the United States, and the commission shall find
upon investigation that the needs of navigation require the construction
of a lock or locks or other navigation structures, and that such
structures cannot, consistent with a reasonable investment cost to the
applicant, be provided in the manner specified in subsection (a) of
section 804 of this title, the commission may grant the application with
the provision to be expressed in the license that the licensee will
install the necessary navigation structures if the Government fails to
make provision therefor within a time to be fixed in the license and
cause a report upon such project to be prepared, with estimates of cost
of the power development and of the navigation structures, and shall
submit such report to Congress with such recommendations as it deems
appropriate concerning the participation of the United States in the
cost of construction of such navigation structures.
