PART 277_WATER RESOURCES POLICIES AND AUTHORITIES: NAVIGATION POLICY: 

COST APPORTIONMENT OF BRIDGE ALTERATIONS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  277.5  General.



    Pub. L. 647 as amended, (33 U.S.C. 511-523) commonly referred to as 

the ``Truman-Hobbs Act'' provides for the alteration of railroad and 

highway bridges when found unreasonably obstructive to navigation. 

Section 6 of that Act establishes policies for the apportionment of such 

bridge alteration costs. Public Law 89-670, transferred to the Secretary 

of Transportation from the Secretary of the Army the responsibility for 

administration of the Act. Pursuant to this responsibility, the 

Secretary of Transportation has established implementing procedures 

based on those previously adopted and utilized by the Chief of Engineers 

prior to 15 October 1966. This regulation adapts these cost 

apportionment procedures, found in reference Sec.  277.3(c), to Corps of 

Engineers planning.
