a claim relating to the lease, is a claim that can be resolved
under a lease clause that provides for the relief sought by the
Lessee. However, a written demand or written assertion by the
Lessee seeking the payment of money exceeding $50,000 is not a
claim under the Act until certified as required by subparagraph

claim by the Government against the Lessee shall be subject to a

best of the Lessee's knowledge and belief; and
(iii) The amount requested accurately reflects the
lease adjustment for which the Lessee believes the Government is
liable.
(3) If the Lessee is an individual, the certification
shall be executed that individual. If the Lessee is not an
individual, the certification shall be executed by:
(i) A senior company official in charge at the Lessee's
location involved; or
(ii) An officer or general partner of the Lessee having
overall responsibility of the conduct of the Lessee's affairs.
d. For Lessee claims of $50,000 or less, the District
Engineer must, if requested in writing by the Lessee, render a
decision within 60 days of the request. For Lessee certified
claims over $50,000, the District Engineer must, within 60 days,
decide the claim or notify the Lessee of the date by which the
decision will be made.
e. The District Engineer's decision shall be final unless
the Lessee appeals or files a suit as provided in the Act.
11
f. At the time a claim by the Lessee is submitted to said
officer or a claim by the Government is presented to the Lessee,
the parties, by mutual consent, may agree to use alternative
means of dispute resolution. When using alternate dispute
resolution procedures, any claim, regardless of amount, shall be
accompanied by the certificate described in paragraph c.(2) of
this clause, and executed in accordance with paragraph c..(3) of
this clause.
g. The Government shall pay interest on the amount found
due and unpaid by the Government from (1) the date the District
Engineer received the claim (properly certified if required), or
(2) the date payment otherwise would be due, if that date is
later, until the date of payment. Simple interest on claims
shall be paid at the rate, fixed by the Secretary of the
Treasury, as provided in the Act, which is applicable to the
period during which the District Engineer receives the claim, and
then at the rate applicable for each 6 -month period as fixed by
the Treasury Secretary during the pendency of the claim.

of the lease, pending final resolution of any request for relief,
claim, appeal, or action arising under the lease, and comply with
any decision of the District Engineer.

facilities, including rental boats, to be sealed against any
discharge into the lake. Services for waste disposal, including
sewage pump -out of watercraft, shall be provided by the Lessee as
