with this Act: Provided^ That any contract entered into pursuant to 
subsection (d) of section 9 of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 
(53 Stat. 1187) may provide that the general repayment obligation 
shall be spread in annual installments, in number and amounts satis-
factory to the Secretary, over a period of not exceeding fifty years, 
exclusive of any development period as therein provided, for any 
project contract unit or for any irrigation block, if the project contract 
unit be divided into two or more irrigation blocks: Provided 
further^ 
That, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, net 
revenues derived from the sale of commercial power and from the 
furnishing of water for municipal, domestic, and industrial use shall 
be applied, first, to the amortization, with interest, of those portions 
of the actual cost of the construction of the project which are allocated, 
respectively, to commercial power and to municipal, domestic, and 
industrial water supply; and, thereafter, shall be applied to amortiza-
tion of that portion of the cost allocated to irrigation which is beyond 
the ability of the irrigation water users to repay within the period 
specified above. Amortization of that portion of the construction cost 
allocated to commercial power shall include interest on the unamortized 
balance thereof at 3 per centum per annum. Repayment of that portion 
of the actual cost of constructing the project which is allocated to 
municipal, domestic, and industrial water supply and of interest on 
the unamortized balance thereof at a rate (which rate shall be certified 
by the Secretary of the Treasury) equal to the average rate paid by 
the United States on its long-term loans outstanding at the time the 
repayment contract is negotiated minus the amount of such net reve-
nues as may be derived from temporary water supply contracts or from 
other sources prior to the close of the repayment period, shall be 
assured by a contract or contracts satisfactory to the Secretary, the 
term of which shall not exceed fifty years from the date of completion 
of the municipal and industrial water supply features of the project 
as determined by the Secretary.
