Page 1324 TITLE 16—CONSERVATION § 757e 1974, June 30, 1975, June 30, 1976, June 30, 1977, June 30, 1978, and June 30, 1979’’ for ‘‘$10,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1974’’. 1970—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 91–249 authorized appropria- tion of not to exceed $6,000,000, $7,500,000, $8,500,000 and $10,000,000 for fiscal years ending June 30, 1971, June 30, 1972, June 30, 1973, and June 30, 1974, respectively, to be available until expended. § 757e. Application to Columbia River basin Sections 757a to 757f of this title shall not be construed to affect, modify, or apply to the same area as the provisions of sections 755 to 757 of this title. The State of Idaho shall be eligible on an equal standing with other States for Fed- eral funding for purposes authorized by sections 757a to 757f of this title. (Pub. L. 89–304, § 5, Oct. 30, 1965, 79 Stat. 1126; Pub. L. 98–146, title I, Nov. 4, 1983, 97 Stat. 922.) Editorial Notes CODIFICATION Although the intent of Congress to amend this sec- tion is clear from the directory language of Pub. L. 98–146 which states that the sentence relating to the eligibility of the State of Idaho be added to ‘‘16 U.S.C. 757e’’, that directory language has been editorially in- terpreted as directing the addition of that sentence to section 5 of Pub. L. 89–304, because Title 16 of the United States Code [this title] has never been enacted into positive law and its sections are therefore not sus- ceptible of amendment as sections of ‘‘16 U.S.C.—’’ and because section 5 of Pub. L. 89–304 is the statute which was classified to, and serves as the source for 16 U.S.C. 757e [this section]. AMENDMENTS 1983—Pub. L. 98–146 inserted provision that the State of Idaho shall be eligible on an equal standing with other States for Federal funding for purposes author- ized by sections 757a to 757f of this title. § 757f. Studies on pollution; recommendations to Secretary of Health and Human Services The Secretary of the Interior shall, on the basis of studies carried out pursuant to sections 757a to 757f of this title and section 665 of this title, make recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services concerning the elimination or reduction of polluting substances detrimental to fish and wildlife in interstate or navigable waters or the tributaries thereof. Such recommendations and any enforcement measures initiated pursuant thereto by the Sec- retary of Health and Human Services shall be designed to enhance the quality of such waters, and shall take into consideration all other le- gitimate uses of such waters. (Pub. L. 89–304, § 6, Oct. 30, 1965, 79 Stat. 1126; Pub. L. 96–88, title V, § 509(b), Oct. 17, 1979, 93 Stat. 695.)
