   To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to revise a repayment 
   contract with the Tom Green County Water Control and Improvement 
   District No. 1, San Angelo project, Texas, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REPAYMENT PERIOD EXTENDED.

    In order to assist the Tom Green County Water Control and 
Improvement District No. 1 in overcoming hardships resulting from 
developing and financing an alternate water supply to overcome the 
effect of an unprecedented drought on the San Angelo project, the 
Secretary of the Interior may revise the repayment contract numbered 
14-06-500-369, by extending the period authorized for repayment of 
reimbursable constructions costs of the San Angelo project from 40 
years to 50 years.

SEC. 2. CREDIT AUTHORIZED.

    The Secretary of the Interior may credit annually against the 
corporation's repayment obligation that portion of the year's joint 
operation and maintenance costs which, if the United States had 
continued to operate the project, would have been allocated to 
controlling floods and providing fish and wildlife benefits.
