BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Honorable Berkley Bedell

U.S. House Of Representatives








Congressional Attention Is Warranted

When User Charges Or Other Policy

Changes Cause Capital Losses



Using a case study, GAO modeled how cap-
ital losses (diminished asset values) can
result from increases in user charges. In
this case, GAO demonstrates how farm-
land values decrease as the price of irriga-
tion water increases. GAO considered
whether farmland owners should be com-
pensated for these losses and described dif-
ferent compensation mechanisms that
could be used if compensation were to be
made.

GAO broadened the findings of the case
study to discuss other capital loss situa-
tions and remedial actions that the Con-
gress could take.
