(February 7. 1969) <br /> <br />7.5 Does the moratorium on water resources 0 ects <br />11 extend to an river that a state ma <br />inclusion in the National System? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />No. The one year protection provided by section 7(b)(ii) to rivers <br />which are considered by the Secretary for inclusion in the system <br />~der section 2(a)(ii) is limited to those rivers listed in section <br />5(a) as study rivers, rather than to any river that a particular State <br />mll3' propose to the Secretary for inclusion in the system. <br /> <br />,The initial provisions of section 7(b) only restrict the activities of <br />the Federal Power Commission and other agencies of the United States <br />insofar as they relate to section 5(a), rivers. The five-year exten- <br />sion likewise applies only to section ~(a) rivers, since the Act <br />speaks in terms of "such rivers," Subsection 7(b)(ii), although it <br />contains the phrase "any river", provides an additional period of <br />protection for only those rivers considered in subsection 7(b)(i).: It <br />follows, that subsection (ii) relates back and supplements the protec- <br />tion provided section 5(a) rivers by subsection (i). (April 22, 1969) <br /> <br />1.6 Do the section 7 b <br />rovided in section <br /> <br /> <br />to rivers listed for stu as <br /> <br />No. Rivers not specifically mentioned in the Act do not have protec- <br />tion unt~l they become a part of the National System. (MarCh 4, 1970) <br /> <br />1.1 Do State~administered rivers included in the National System receive <br />the same section 7 protections as federally-administered rivers? <br /> <br />Yes. Rivers in the system under State administration are subject to .., <br />the protective provisions of section 7(a) to the same extent as those <br />rivers under Federal administration. Nothing in the Act or the legis- <br />lative history indicates that the limitations on the construction of <br />vater resources projects should apply differcntly to those rivers <br />authorized for inclusion by Act of Congress from those adopted through <br />the State legislative process and approved by the Secretary. <br />(MII3' 29, 1973) <br /> <br />17 <br /> <br />\ <br />
