is the sense of the Congress that, to the greatest extent practicable, 
all equipment and products purchased with funds made available in this 
Act should be American-made.
    (b) Notice Requirement.--In providing financial assistance to, or 
entering into any contract with, any entity using funds made available 
in this Act, the head of each Federal agency, to the greatest extent 
practicable, shall provide to such entity a notice describing the 
statement made in subsection (a) by the Congress.
    Sec. 506. None of the funds made available in this Act may be used 
to revise the Missouri River Master Water Control Manual when it is 
made known to the Federal entity or official to which the funds are 
made available that such revision provides for an increase in the 
springtime water release program during the spring heavy rainfall and 
snow melt period in States that have rivers draining into the Missouri 
River below the Gavins Point Dam.
<DELETED>    Sec. 507. The amount otherwise provided in this Act for 
the following account is hereby reduced by the following 
amount:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) ``Nuclear Waste Disposal Fund'', aggregate 
        amount, $1,000.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    Sec. 508. None of the funds made available in this Act for 
the Army Corps of Engineers Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway 
System Navigation Study may be used to study any portion of the Upper 
Mississippi River located above Lock and Dam 14 at Moline, Illinois, 
and Bettendorf, Iowa, except that the limitation in this section shall 
not apply to the conducting of any system-wide environmental baseline 
study pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act.</DELETED>
    Sec. 509. Without fiscal year limitation, the amount of fish and 
wildlife costs that the Bonneville Power Administration may incur 
during a fiscal year shall not exceed its ability to pay as a percent 
of the preceding years gross annual power revenues exclusive of gross 
residential exchange revenues that the Bonneville Administrator accrues 
in that fiscal year. No branch or agency of the Federal Government 
shall take any action pursuant to any law which shall cause the 
Bonneville Power Administration to exceed this expenditure limitation.
    ``Fish and wildlife costs'' includes--
            (1) purchase power costs and lost revenues, as determined 
        by the Bonneville Administrator (subject to independent audit), 
        based on the forecast value of such costs or revenues under 
        average flow conditions, related to operations of the Federal 
        Columbia River Power System for the benefit of fish and 
        wildlife affected by the development, operation, or management 
        of such system using operations prior to passage of the 
        Northwest Power Act as a baseline for calculating such costs;
            (2) expenditures; and
            (3) reimbursable costs.
This provision shall be implemented on October 1, 1995 unless there is 
a valid agreement which limits Bonneville's exposure to increases in 
fish and wildlife costs consistent with its ability to pay and the 
needs for fish and wildlife resources in the Columbia River Basin.
    This Act may be cited as the ``Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 1996''.

            Passed the House of Representatives July 12, 1995.

            Attest:
