Economic Self-Sufficiency. The Non-Federal Parties recognize and support that the consideration for the settlement of the Provisionally Settled Tribal Water Right Claims and conditional relinquishments of Tribal claims related to certain water resources in section 2.5 is based, in part, on the expectations of the Klamath Tribes and the United States that certain benefits, in addition to those benefits enumerated in the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA) and Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA), will be received by the Klamath Tribes before settlement is complete as described in this subsection 2.4 and in section 10. These benefits are: (1) congressional establishment and subsequent funding of a Tribal economic development fund in the amount of $40 million, with the parameters of funding, fund access, and use to be established in Federal Authorizing Legislation for the settlement, and (2) the payment of $1 million annually from the Department of the Interior to the Tribes, for a period of five years, to address Tribal needs during the Transition Period beginning in 2014. The Non-Federal Parties agree to support legislation and administrative actions by the Interior Department so that the requirements of this section are met.
