Sec. 413.4  Assessment of other project act lands and rights of way.

    (a) A district shall, as to other project act lands and rights of 
way the title to which passes to the United States on or after January 1 
of any year and before the district has levied its assessments for that 
year, immediately remove the lands from its assessment rolls and shall 
not thereafter take any proceedings to complete or enforce the 
assessments. Any such removal from the rolls shall be effective as of 
January 1 of the year in which title passes to the United States Action 
so to remove shall be taken promptly after the giving of written notice 
by the Project Manager to the district as to the lands involved, and the 
district shall provide the United States with a certificate stating that 
the lands have not been and will not be assessed so long as title 
thereto remains in the United States.
    (b) There is no authority in law for the assessment of rights of way 
owned by the United States. Accordingly, a district shall make no 
assessment thereof while title thereto remains in the United States.
    (c) Other project act lands while title thereto remains in the 
United States shall not be assessed for any district charge so long as 
they are in the ``other project act lands'' category.
