contract to conform to the provisions of this Act, and to otherwise per-
form any and all acts appropriate to carrying out the purposes of this
Act.
 (b) Except to the extent they are inconsistent with this Act, the
Federal reclamation laws in effect at the time of enactment of this
Act shall remain in full force and effect.

maintain such records and information relating to land ownership,

 PENALTIES AND ENFORCEMENT-CIVIL PENALTIES
 "Sec. 16 (a) Any person, district or other contracting entity, who
knowingly commits an act in the process of apply for or receiving
water from a project governed by the Federal Reclamation Laws
which violates any provision of this Act or any of the other acts com-
monly called the Federal Reclamation Laws, or any regulations pro-
mulgated pursuant to any of those acts, may be assessed a civil penalty
by the Secretary of not more than $5,000 for each such violation:
Provided, however, that if the person, district or other contracting
entity, is in violation of a provision of law or regulation dealing with
acreage limitations or residency, the penalty shall be set at a minimum
of double the fair market value of the water so delivered, considering
the cost of private irrigation, groundwater pumping costs, and any
other relevant factors.
 (b) Any person, district or other contracting entity which fails to
compile, maintain, or make available any records required to be kept
under this Act or any other acts commonly called the Federal Recla-
mation Laws, or any regulations promulgated pursuant to any of those
acts, may be assessed a civil penalty by the Secretary of not more than
$200 for each day that it fails to produce such records following the
date provided for production in a written request for the records by
the Secretary.
 (c) The Secretary shall assess the penalties authorized under section
 (a) and (b) only after a hearing before an administrative law judge
 or other appropriate Department official. The Secretary may in his
 discretion reduce or remit such civil penalty.
 (d) Upon failure to pay a penalty assessed under this Act, the Sec-
retary may request the Attorney General to institute a civil action in
any district court of the United States in which the person, district, or
other contracting entity is found, resides, or transacts business to col-
lect the penalty. Such court shall have jurisdiction to hear and decide
any such action.
