 statute explicitly made applicable to the lands involved.

to lands temporarily provided with a water supply in unusually wet years or
from infrequent flood flows of short duration, nor shall such limitation apply to
lands leased for one year or less for the purpose of water conservation or man-
agement in years of inadequate water supply.
 (f) Nothwithstanding the provisions of section 3, the Secretary may deliver
water to minor tracts of land though the delivery to such tracts may cause a
qualified recipient to become an excess landholder if the Secretary determines
that there is no economically viable alternative means of operating such minor
tracts.
 (g) Land in excess of a landholding upon sale into nonexcess status after the
effective date of this Act, shall be eligible to receive water service only if title to
the land is subject to a condition that the land shall not be sold at a price greater
than the landowner's cost for the land, plus the value of any improvements, both
increased only by the rate of increase of the Consumer Price Index for the period
between the date of that landowner's purchase and the date of his sale of the
land: Provided, That if such land has continuously remained as nonexcess land
for a period of ten or more years, the sale price of the land after the tenth year
may be at the fair market value thereof without regard to the provisions of sec-
tion 423e of title 43, United States Code.
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Federal Reclamation Law
 to the contrary, a landholding, including any lands in excess of the acreage
 limitation applicable to such landholding, may be acquired by foreclosure or other
 process of law, by conveyance in satisfaction of mortgage, by inheritance, or by
 devise, and (1) if acquired by other than a qualified recipient, such landholding
 shall be furnished with a water supply temporarily for a period not exceeding ten
 years from the effective date of such acquisition, delivery of water thereafter
 ceasing until the transfer thereof is completed to a qualified recipient, and (2)
 such lands of the landholding as were not held in excess status at the time of
 such acquisition may thereafter be sold at the fair market value of the property
 without regard to the provisions of section 423e of title 43, United States Code,
 or section 3 of this Act.
 (i) A landowner which is a corporate or other trustee may collectively hold
 in a fiduciary capacity land eligible to receive a water supply notwithstanding
 any other provisions of the Federal Reclamation Law to the contrary: Provided,
 That with respect to such holding, the beneficiary or beneficiaries thereof are in
 compliance with the acreage limitation provisions of the Federal Reclamation
 Law.
 (j) Any provision of the Federal Reclamation Law which establishes a limita-
 tion on acreage to be served with a water supply to the contrary notwithstanding,
 a landholding of any limited recipient which consists of one hundred and sixty
 acres or less shall be considered to be within the acreage limitation of the Federal
 Reclamation Law.

 encumbered shall remain as specified in such contracts: Provided, however, That
