This <br />payment for fiscal year 1994 (October 1, 1993 - September 30, 1994) is authorized by the <br />Refuge Revenue Sharing Act of 1978, Public Law 95469. Funds credited to the National <br />Wildlife Refuge Fund are derived from income generated nationally on Service lands, such as <br />oil and gas revenues, sale of timber products, gravel, grazing. receipts, and other products. <br />The Act authorizes payment to counties in which Service -owned lands are located, based upon <br />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 fee lands located within the county/parish. <br />(2) Seventy-five cents per acre of the fee lands located within the <br />county/parish. <br />(3) Twenty-five percent of net receipts collected by the Service for certain <br />activities permitted on fee lands located within the county/parish. <br />This year's fund did not contain sufficient receipts to make full payment to counties as computed <br />above. Although Congress, as authorized, did appropriate additional funds, the amount <br />appropriated was not sufficient to provide for a full entitlement • payment. The amount of <br />payment for fiscal year -1994 represents 77.1 percent of the total entitlement. <br />In addition, the reason that payments to certain counties have significantly increased or decreased <br />from last year's may be due to reappraisals or the acquisitiod -6f additional lands. <br />If you need additional information, please contact Supervisory Realty Specialist Gerald Vits, or <br />Realty Specialist Charlotte Underwood at telephone 1-800-419-9582. <br />2 <br />APRIL 18, 1995 <br />Sincerely yours, <br />7- <br />/_e- &24f�� <br />Noreen K.
