No Federal Costs Passed Through. This Agreement establishes the share of the Program Cost of implementation of the LCR MSCP to be paid by the Permittees. No Federal Party may pass through any Federal portion of the cost of the LCR MSCP to the Permittees in any form. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to treating such Federal costs as a "reimbursable expense" and passing them through to the Permittees as a water or power charge. Further, Reclamation shall not designate any portion of the Program Cost, or cost in excess of the Program Cost, to implement the LCR MSCP as a reimbursable expense to be recovered by Western from the non-federal Parties to this Agreement, in the form of a power charge or in any other form.
