SCHEDULE FOR ADVANCEMENT OF FUNDS

available for expenditure for development of the Program Plan.
ACCOUNTING OF FUNDS

all work items financed with funds received from the Cooperating
Partners. These accounts and records shall be available for
inspection, audit, and reproduction by the Basin States without
charge during normal business hours.

Partners and Steering Committee members an itemized statement of
services rendered during the previous month. The statement shall

LIABILITY
10. a. Reclamation shall perform its obligations under this MOU
in the capacity of a federal agency. It is neither a co-

or Cooperating Partners. The Basin States assume no liability
for claims or actions arising solely out of the performance of
such work by Reclamation's employees or agents.
b. Liability of the United States resulting from the

lieu of ordinary insurance coverage.
