                TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS
 
 CHAPTER II--CORPS OF ENGINEERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY, DEPARTMENT OF 
                                 DEFENSE
 
PART 277_WATER RESOURCES POLICIES AND AUTHORITIES: NAVIGATION POLICY: COST 
 
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.
