The section also provides that formerly excess lands may be sold at
 fair market value after a period of 10 or more years during which
 such lands have been held in nonexcess status.
 Section 8. (h) -This section provides that a water supply may be
 delivered to lands which are acquired by foreclosure or other process
 of law, by conveyance in satisfaction of a mortgage, by inheritance, or
 by device. Water may be provided for not to exceed 10 years regard-
 less of whether or not the entity acquiring such lands is a qualified.
 recipient and without regard to the excess status of such lands, if any.
 If such lands were not held in excess status by the immediate former
 owner at the time of the acquisition, they may be resold at any time
 subsequent to the acquisition at fair market value. If they were held in
 excess status by the immediate former owner, they must be resold at
 an approved dry land price in the same manner as required by Reclam-
 ation Law of sales of excess lands in general.
 Section 8. (i)-This section provides that a trustee may hold lands
 in trust which collectively exceed the acreage limitation without regard
 to the acreage limitation or the requirement to be a qualified recipient.
 The section provides, however, that in order to exercise this exemption,
 the trustee must be acting in a fiduciary capacity and the beneficiaries
 of the several trusts must individually be in conformance with the
 acreage limitation. In other words, the landholdings are not exempted
 from the requirements of Federal Reclamation Law except for relief
 from any legal impediments to the involvement of the trustee.
 Section 8. (j)-This section provides that a "limited recipient" as
 defined in this Act will continue to be entitled to receive a water supply
 for a landholding limited to 160 acres as it would be under existing
 law. A "limited recipient" is a legal entity benefiting more than 25
 individuals.
 Section 9.-This section provides for an extension of the 10-year
 time period for disposal of excess lands subject to existing recordable
 contracts which is commensurate with the period of time for which
 there has been a moratorium on the approval of sales of such lands by
 the Secretary of the Interior. The effect would be to allow additional
 time for the disposition of such lands and the extension of the period
 of time that the lands would be eligible to receive water service prior
 to such disposal.
 Section 10. (a)-This section authorizes and directs the Secretary
 to amend existing contracts to conform to the provisions of this bill if
 the other parties to the contracts request such amendments. It is the in-
 tention of this provision that the Secretary does not have the latitude to
 deny any such request nor does the amendment of any contract for this
 purpose afford any opportunity for renegotiation or unilateral amend-
 ment of such contract in any other regard than to conform to the pro-
 visions of this measure.
 Section 10. (b)-This section would require the Secretary to issue
appropriate notices and to adopt rulemaking procedures appropriate
for the implementation of the authorities granted in this Act as they
are set forth in the Administrative Procedures Act.
 Section 10. (c)-This section addresses contracts entered into be-
tween non-Federal entities and the Secretary of the Interior contain-
ing provisions which provide for "relief" from, or are otherwise re-
lated to, the acreage limitation of the Federal Reclamation Law upon
