Reclamation Fund and Western Area Power Administration, B-303180, July 26, 2004 While the relationship between the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) is not a creditor-debtor relationship, WAPA is required to set rates to recover from its power customers amounts appropriated over the years from BOR's Reclamation Fund to finance construction, operation, and maintenance of federal power facilities, and to deposit power revenues into the Reclamation Fund. The statutory power marketing scheme was designed to ensure that power customers reimburse the federal government for the benefit they receive from the federal government. The statutory scheme requires WAPA to enforce reimbursement by WAPA's customers and to repay to the Reclamation Fund the amount it collects. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-303180/html/GAOREPORTS-B-303180.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-303180/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-303180.pdf GAO/B-303180 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-303180 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-303180; Reclamation Fund and Western Area Power Administration, B-303180, July 26, 2004; United States Code Title 43 Section 391 43 U.S.C. 391 United States Statutes at Large Volume 38 Page 686 38 Stat. 686 United States Statutes at Large Volume 57 Page 388 57 Stat. 388 United States Statutes at Large Volume 76 Page 389 76 Stat. 389 United States Statutes at Large Volume 91 Page 578 Volume 91 Page 797 91 Stat. 578 91 Stat. 797 United States Statutes at Large Volume 104 Page 2838 104 Stat. 2838 United States Statutes at Large Volume 108 Page 3410 108 Stat. 3410 United States Statutes at Large Volume 117 Page 1827 117 Stat. 1827 United States Public Law 590 (87th Congress) Public Law 87-590 United States Public Law 91 (95th Congress) Public Law 95-91 United States Public Law 96 (95th Congress) Public Law 95-96 United States Public Law 576 (101st Congress) Public Law 101-576 United States Public Law 356 (103rd Congress) Public Law 103-356 United States Public Law 137 (108th Congress) Public Law 108-137
