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