pursuant to part 209 Departmental

Manual, Chapter 8.1A and

Memorandum dated January 25, 1994,

from Chief of Staff, Department of the

Interior, to Assistant Secretaries, and

Heads of Bureaus and Offices.

This notice is given in accordance

with § 171.1(e) of part 171, Subchapter

H, Chapter 1, of Title 25 of the Code of

Federal Regulations, which provides for

the fixing and announcing the rates for

annual operation and maintenance

assessments and related information of

the Fort Belknap Irrigation Project for

Calendar Year 1998 and subsequent

years.

The assessment rates are based on a

prepared estimate of the cost of normal

operation and maintenance of the

irrigation project. Normal operation and

maintenance means the expenses we

incur to provide direct support or

benefit to the project’s activities for

administration, operation, maintenance,

and rehabilitation. We must include at

least:

(a) Personnel salary and benefits for

the project engineer/manager and our

employees under his management/

control;

(b) Materials and supplies;

(c) Major and minor vehicle and

equipment repairs;

(d) Equipment, including

transportation, fuel, oil, grease, lease

and replacement;

(d) Capitalization expenses;

(e) Acquisition expenses; and

(f) Other expenses we determine

necessary to properly perform the

activities and functions characteristic of

an irrigation project.

Payments

The irrigation operation and

maintenance assessments become due

based on locally established payment

requirements. No water will be

delivered to any of these lands until all

irrigation charges have been paid.

Interest and Penalty Fees

Interest, penalty, and administrative

fees will be assessed, where required by

law, on all delinquent operation and

maintenance assessment charges as

prescribed in the Code of Federal

Regulations, Title 4, Part 102, Federal

Claims Collection Standards; and 42

BIAM Supplement 3, part 3.8 Debt

Collection Procedures. Beginning 30

days after the due date interest will be

assessed at the rate of the current value

of funds to the U.S. Treasury. An

administrative fee of $12.50 will be

assessed each time an effort is made to

collect a delinquent debt; a penalty

charge of 6 percent per year will be

charged on delinquent debts more than

90-days old and will accrue from the

date the debt became delinquent. No

water will be delivered to any farm unit

until all irrigation charges have been

paid. After 180-days a delinquent debt

will be forwarded to the United States

Treasury for further action in

accordance with Debt Collection

Improvement Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–

134).
