In determining the amount and recipient of such payments the Administrator shall consider— (1) the approximate real property taxes and assessments for local improvements which would be paid to the governmental entity upon property within the community if such property were not exempt from taxation by reason of Federal ownership; (2) the maintaining of municipal services at a level which will not impede the recruitment or retention of personnel essential to the En- ergy Research and Development Administra- tion programs; (3) the fiscal problems peculiar to the gov- ernmental entity by reason of the construc- tion at the community as a single-purpose na- tional defense installation under emergency conditions; (4) the municipal services and other burdens imposed on the governmental or other entities at the community by the United States in its operations in the project area; and (5) the tax revenues and sources available to the governmental entity, its efforts and dili- gence in collection of taxes, assessment of property, and the efficiency of its operations. (b) Special interim payments Special interim payments may be made under the provisions of this section to any govern- mental entity which— (1) has a special burden due to the require- ments under law imposed upon it in assisting in effectuating the purposes of this chapter for which it will not otherwise receive adequate compensation or revenues; or (2) will suffer a tax loss or lapse in place of which it will not receive any other adequate revenues until the new governmental entities contemplated by this subchapter are receiving their normal taxes and performing their nor- mal functions. (c) Payments for special burdens Payments made under this section shall be payments made for special burdens imposed on the local governmental entities in accordance with the second sentence of section 2208 of this title. Payments may be made under this section notwithstanding the provisions of the Act of September 30, 1950 1 (Public Law 874, Eighty-first Congress), as amended.
