Addi- <br />tionally, to clarify that Title I does not apply to Title II <br />which presents proposals related to the Boulder Canyon Project <br />and related matters, a new section 109 would expressly disclaim <br />the application of Title I to any project authorized or affected <br />by Title II. <br /> <br />The following paragraphs discuss L~e proposed provi- <br />sions of Title II: <br /> <br />SEC. 201: (a) Would provide authority for the <br />Secretary of the Interior to undertake the Uprating Program and <br />the improvement of Visitor Facilities. Prompt authorization of <br />the Uprating Program is necessary both to enable post-198? <br />marketing of an enhanced Boulder Canyon resource and to avoid <br />potential waste that would result from failure to integrate the <br />on-going program of replacing worn generating machinery at <br />Boover powerplant with the' proposed Uprating Program which is <br />designed to increase the generating capacity of these same <br />units. <br /> <br />. (b) would provide authority for construction of <br />a Colorado River bridge crossing, but excludes such crossing <br />from the Boulder Canyon Project and expressly specifies that it <br />shall be neither funded nor reoaid from the Colorado River Dam <br />Fund or the Lower Colorado River Basin Develooment Fund since <br />such a facility is more properly funded from highway funds. <br /> <br />SEC. 202: (a) Clause (1) of section 403(c) of the <br />Colorado River Basin ProJect Act of 1968 ("Basin Project Act") <br />would be revised to limit its applicability to revenues collected <br />from Title .111 facilities to completion of repayment of the <br />Central Arizona Project. <br /> <br />(b) The proposed revision of clause (2) of <br />section 403(c) of the Basin Project Act preserves the concept <br />that surplus federal revenues from the Boulder Canyon and <br />Parker-Davis projects, after repayment thereof, are to be <br /> <br />-1- <br />
