follows:
            (1) By amending paragraph (2) of subsection (a) to read as 
        follows:
            ``(2) If, as of January 1, 2006, the Secretary of the 
        Interior and the Redwood Valley County Water District have not 
        renegotiated the schedule of payment, the District may enter 
        into such additional non-Federal obligations as are necessary 
        to finance procurement of dedicated water rights and 
        improvements necessary to store and convey those rights to 
        provide for the District's water needs. The Secretary shall

        commence when such additional obligations have been financially 
        satisfied by the District. The date of the initial payment owed 
        by the District to the United States shall be regarded as the 
        start of the District's repayment period and the time upon 
        which any interest shall first be computed and assessed under 
        section 5 of the Small Reclamation Projects Act of 1956 (43
