the Parties may adjust the schedule for collection of MOA Revenues; however, the <br />total amount of MOA Revenues collected over the Interim Period shall be <br />$161,000,000, which is an average of $11,500,000 per year. The Non - Federal <br />Parties shall establish a schedule of MOA Revenues expected to be needed each <br />year, taking into consideration, among other things, impacts to the most recent <br />power repayment study. Any adjustments to the schedule for collection of MOA <br />Revenues will be transmitted to Reclamation before the beginning of the next fiscal <br />year. <br />c. MOA Revenues collected pursuant to this subsection shall be separately accounted <br />for in the Basin Fund by Western to fund approved projects identified by the Non - <br />Federal Parties pursuant to this MOA and consistent with Reclamation law including <br />CRSPA, as amended and supplemented. <br />d. Reclamation will utilize the MOA Revenues provided hereunder to fund projects or <br />activities within the Upper Colorado River Basin, which further the purposes of <br />CRSPA, as amended and supplemented, are within Reclamation's authorities,and <br />are recommended by the Non - Federal Parties. Reclamation will not transfer or <br />reassign revenues provided under this MOA to projects or activities not <br />recommended by the Non - Federal Parties. <br />e. The Non - Federal Parties agree to support congressional budget authority, to the <br />extent it is needed, to ensure that Reclamation has the necessary budget authority to <br />utilize the MOA Revenues. <br />2. Determination of Proiects and Priorities for MOA Revenues <br />a. The Non - Federal Parties shall, on a not less than annual basis, meet to discuss and <br />make recommendations for scheduling projects and activities that would be funded <br />by MOA Revenues. In scheduling projects for work, annual allocations of MOA <br />Revenues may, for efficiency and by mutual consent of the Upper Division States, <br />vary from the distribution of MOA revenue assignments described in section B.1.a of <br />this MOA; provided, however, that the total amount of MOA Revenues over the term <br />of this MOA shall be distributed to the states in conformance with the assignment <br />percentages described in section B.1.a. Projects recommended for funding using <br />MOA Revenues will include the estimated cost, anticipated commencement of <br />construction or implementation and a timetable for completion of each project or <br />activity. <br />b. It is the responsibility of each Upper Division State to determine the priority of <br />projects within that state. Projects may proceed within any state, according to its <br />priority list, if MOA Revenues are available and as the projects are scheduled for <br />work pursuant to 2.a. above, regardless of the status of projects in any other state. <br />Examples of projects are shown in Appendix A, which is subject to revision. <br />c. The Non - Federal Parties shall transmit a prioritized list of recommended projects to <br />Reclamation along with any comments. <br />
