S.W. <br />Atlanta, Georgia <br />30:303 <br />LA -Payment to Counties/Parishes <br />Dear Sir or Madam: <br />The Fish and Wildlife Service is pleased to present Indian River County/Parish <br />its refuge revenue sharing payment in the amount of $ 12,608. 00 This payment <br />for fiscal year 1992 (October 1, 1991 -September 30, 1992) is authorized by the Refuge <br />Revenue Sharing Act of 1978, Public Law 95-469. Funds credited to the National <br />Wildlife Refuge Fund are derived from income generated nationally on Service lands, <br />such as oil and gas revenues, sale of timber products, gravel, grazing receipts, and <br />other products. <br />The Act authorizes payment to counties in which Fish and Wildlife Service -owned lands <br />are located, based upon the following methods of computation, whichever is greater: <br />(1) Three-fourths of 1 percent (0.75 percent) of the fair market (appraised) <br />value of Jgg lands located within the county. <br />(2) Seventy-five cents per acre of the £fig lands located within the county. <br />(3) Twenty-five percent of net receipts collected by the Fish and Wildlife <br />Service for certain activities permitted oneft lands located within the <br />county. <br />This year's fund did not contain sufficient receipts to make full payment to counties as <br />computed above. Although Congress, as authorized, did appropriate additional funds, <br />the amount appropriated was not sufficient to provide for a full entitlement payment. <br />The amount of payment for fiscal year 1992 represents 81.1 percent of the total <br />entitlement. <br />Should you have any questions about this payment, please do not hesitate to contact <br />US. <br />Sincerely yours,''II,,/1 <br />James W. Pulliam, Jr. <br />Regional Director <br />27 <br />MAY 4 1993 eooK 8j' F¢5r-. 441 <br />a <br />
