<br />Implementation Plan <br /> <br />the Secretary submits such report to Congress and to the Advisory Council. <br />The agreements negotiated under the RFP process would include language <br />making them subject to revocation without penalty to the Government <br />before the expiration of the 90-day period. Small projects with annual <br />payments of $100,000 or less and a duration of 10 years or less would be <br />exempt from this procedure. <br /> <br />Special Requirements for Projects Normally Implemented by <br />"Other Agencies" <br /> <br />The 1984 amendments to the Act (P.L. 98-569) authorized USDA and BLM <br />to participate in the salinity control program. Although integrated with <br />Reclamation's work, both of these agencies have their own authorities to <br />implement their respective programs. The Colorado River Basin Salinity <br />Control Program relies heavily on these agencies' continued participation. <br /> <br />Although any proposal may be evaluated under Reclamation's ranking <br />procedures, some proposals reco=ended for implementation may not be <br />funded by Reclamation if they fall within the bounds of some other agency's <br />. authorities. For example, the USDA Salinity Control Program is <br />responsible for onfarm irrigation improvements and rangeland <br />improvements on private lands. BLM is responsible for the rangeland <br />management program on BLM lands. EPA and the Basin States administer <br />a pollution discharge permitting program that sets point source discharge <br />standards for salinity and provides financial assistance for publicly owned <br />treatment works. <br /> <br />0002.6 <br /> <br />19 <br />
