``SEC. 10. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.
``(a) Planning, Design, and Construction.--There are authorized to
be appropriated $263,241,000 for the planning, design, and construction
of the Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply System, the Rosebud Sioux Rural
Water Supply System, the Lower Brule Sioux Rural Water Supply System,
the West River Rural Water Supply System, and the Lyman-Jones Rural
Water Supply System described in sections 3, 3A, 3B, and 4. Such funds
are authorized to be appropriated only through the end of the year
2003. The funds authorized to be appropriated by the first sentence of
this section, less any amounts previously obligated for the Systems,
may be increased or decreased by such amounts as may be justified by
reason of ordinary fluctuations in development costs incurred after
October 1, 1992, as indicated by engineering costs indices applicable
for the type of construction involved.
``(b) Operation and Maintenance of Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply
System, Rosebud Sioux Rural Water Supply System and Lower Brule Sioux
Rural Water Supply System.--There are authorized to be appropriated
such sums as may be necessary for the operation and maintenance of the
Oglala Sioux Rural Water Supply System, Rosebud Sioux Rural Water
Supply System and Lower Brule Sioux Rural Water Supply System. The
operation and maintenance expenses associated with water deliveries to
the West River and Lyman-Jones Rural Water Systems are a non-Federal
responsibility and for such deliveries the Secretary shall enter into a
contract with the West River and Lyman-Jones Systems for the payment of
an annual operation and maintenance fee. Such fee shall be based on the
incremental operation and maintenance costs for water actually
delivered each year to the West River and Lyman-Jones Rural Water
Systems. Such operation and maintenance payments shall be increased or
decreased by such amounts as may be justified by reason of ordinary
fluctuations as indicated by indices applicable to comparable regional
rural water supply systems for the type of operation and maintenance
involved.
