I. Statutory Authority Reclamation Laws are a series of laws arising from the Desert Land Act of 1877 and include, but are not limited to, the Desert Land Act of 1877, Reclamation Act of 1902, Reclamation Project Act of 1939, and the Acts authorizing each individual project such as the Central Valley Project Authorizing Act of 1937.1 The Reclamation Act of 1902 established the Federal reclamation program.2 The basic principle of the Reclamation Act of 1902 was that the United States, through the Secretary of the Interior, would build and operate irrigation works from the proceeds of public land sales in the sixteen arid Western states (a seventeenth was later added). The Reclamation Project Act of 1939 expanded the purposes of the reclamation program and specified certain terms for contracts that the Secretary of the Interior enters into to furnish water and power.3 Congress enacted the Reclamation Laws for purposes that include enhancing navigation, protection from floods, reclaiming the arid lands in the Western United States, and for fish and wildlife.4 Congress intended the production of power would be a supplemental feature of the multi-purpose water projects authorized under the Reclamation Laws.5 No contract entered into by the United States for power may, in the judgment of the Secretary, impair the efficiency of the project for irrigation purposes.6 Section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 is read in pari materia with Reclamation Laws with respect to the WAPA.7 In 1977, the Department of Energy Organization Act transferred the power marketing functions of the Department of the Interior to the Secretary of Energy, acting by and through a separate Administrator for WAPA.8 Pursuant to this authority, WAPA markets Federal hydropower.

Background

    Section 57b.(2) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is 
implemented through the DOE/NNSA regulations under Title 10 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 810 (Part 810) governing exports of 
unclassified nuclear technology and assistance. Applicants seeking 
specific authorizations to transfer or provide any such technology or 
assistance must make an application to DOE, and those who are 
transferring or providing such technology or assistance must provide 
regular reports to DOE. In response to public comment, DOE/NNSA is 
pursuing a number of efforts to improve the Part 810 authorization 
process collectively known as a Process Improvement Plan (PIP) to make 
the Part 810 authorization process more transparent, orderly, and 
efficient. One of the main components of the PIP was to develop an 
electronic application and reporting database (which DOE has called 
``e810''). e810 was designed to ease the application and reporting 
burden on industry, streamline the review process for specific 
authorization applications, and provide greater transparency into the 
authorization process and timelines. The e810 database is now available 
for use. The Web site is: e810.energy.gov. Prospective users may 
register for an account at that site. Use of the e810 site for Part 810 
communications is strictly optional; the email and paper communication 
options listed at 10 CFR 810.4 remain available. However, we encourage 
its use as continued upgrades to the e810 database will further enhance 
and streamline the Part 810 authorization process. Early use will allow 
users to take full advantage of those features as they come on line.
