What the document says
“a contract or agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall not be treated as a new or amended contract”
The section provides that for the purposes of section 203 of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (43 U.S.C. 390cc) and section 3404(a) of the Reclamation Projects Authorization and Adjustment Act of 1992, a contract or agreement entered into under the section is not treated as a new or amended contract.
What the document actually says
“a contract or agreement entered into pursuant to this section shall not be treated as a new or amended contract”
That sentence, in plain words
A deal made under this part is not counted as a new contract. Nor is it counted as a changed one.
What this is about
Two older reclamation laws attach rules to a new contract. Those rules do not bite here. What they require is not recorded on this site.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
