Search 33 U.S.C. § 528 : US Code - Section 528: Statement of construction costs of privately owned interstate bridges; investigation of costs; conclusiveness of findings; review
Within ninety days after the completion of a privately owned
interstate toll bridge, the owner shall file with the Secretary of
Transportation and with the highway departments of the States in
which the bridge is located, a sworn itemized statement showing the
actual original cost of constructing the bridge and its approaches,
the actual cost of acquiring any interest in real property
necessary therefor, and the actual financing and promotion costs.
The Secretary of Transportation may, and upon request of a highway
department shall, at any time within three years after the
completion of such bridge, investigate such costs and determine the
accuracy and the reasonableness of the costs alleged in the
statement of costs so filed, and shall make a finding of the actual
and reasonable costs of constructing, financing, and promoting such
bridge. For the purpose of such investigation the said individual,
firm, or corporation, its successors and assigns, shall make
available all of its records in connection with the construction,
financing, and promotion thereof. The findings of the Secretary of
Transportation as to the reasonable costs of the construction,
financing, and promotion of the bridge shall be conclusive for the
purposes mentioned in section 527 of this title subject only to
review in a court of equity for fraud or gross mistake.
