BUREAU OF RECLAMATION HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT 

EQUITY AND JOBS ACT 

JULY 31, 2014.—Ordered to be printed 

Ms. LANDRIEU, from the Committee on Energy and Natural 

Resources, submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H.R. 1963] 

The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 

referred the Act (H.R. 1963) to amend the Water Conservation and 

Utilization Act to authorize the development of non-Federal hydropower and issuance of leases of power privileges at projects constructed pursuant to the authority of the Water Conservation and 

Utilization Act, and for other purposes, having considered the 

same, reports favorably thereon with an amendment and recommends that the Act, as amended, do pass. 

The amendment is as follows: 

Strike all after the enacting clause and insert the following: 

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Bureau of Reclamation Hydropower Development 

Equity and Jobs Act’’. 

SEC. 2. AMENDMENT. 

Section 9 of the Act of August 11, 1939 (commonly known as the ‘‘Water Conservation and Utilization Act’’) (16 U.S.C. 590z–7) is amended— 

(1) by striking ‘‘In connection with’’ and inserting ‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—In connection with’’; and 

(2) by adding at the end the following: 

‘‘(b) CERTAIN LEASES AUTHORIZED.— 

‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding subsection (a), the Secretary— 

‘‘(A) may enter into leases of power privileges for electric power generation in connection with any project constructed pursuant to this Act; and 

‘‘(B) shall have authority over any project constructed pursuant to this 

Act in addition to and alternative to any existing authority relating to a 

particular project. 

‘‘(2) PROCESS.—In entering into a lease of power privileges under paragraph 

(1), the Secretary shall use the processes, terms, and conditions applicable to 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN
2 

the lease under section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 

485h(c)). 

‘‘(3) FINDINGS NOT REQUIRED.—No findings under section 3 shall be required 

for a lease under paragraph (1). 

‘‘(4) RIGHTS RETAINED BY LESSEE.—Except as otherwise provided under paragraph (5), all right, title, and interest in and to installed power facilities constructed by non-Federal entities pursuant to a lease under paragraph (1), and 

any direct revenues derived from that lease, shall remain with the lessee. 

‘‘(5) LEASE CHARGES.—Notwithstanding section 8, lease charges shall be credited to the project from which the power is derived. 

‘‘(6) EFFECT.—Nothing in this section alters or affects any agreement in effect 

on the date of enactment of the Bureau of Reclamation Hydropower Development Equity and Jobs Act for the development of hydropower projects or disposition of revenues.’’. 

PURPOSE

The purpose of H.R. 1963 is to amend the Water Conservation 

and Utilization Act to authorize the development of non-Federal 

hydropower and issuance of leases of power privileges at projects 

constructed pursuant to the authority of the Water Conservation 

and Utilization Act. 

BACKGROUND AND NEED

Both section 5 of the Town Sites and Power Development Act of 

1906 (43 U.S.C. 522) and section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project 

Act of 1939 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)) authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to lease Reclamation facilities to non-federal entities to 

produce electric power, through what is known as a ‘‘lease of power 

privilege.’’ In 2013, the Bureau of Reclamation Small Conduit Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs Act (Public Law 113–24) 

amended section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 to give 

the Bureau still broader authority to enter into leases of power 

privileges at Reclamation projects, including small conduit facilities, and to facilitate development of hydropower at these facilities. 

In addition to Reclamation projects built and operated under 

Reclamation law, the Bureau also administers 11 reclamation 

projects that were built during the Great Depression pursuant to 

the Water Conservation and Utilization Act (16 U.S.C. 590z–7) 

(WCUA) with the assistance of the Works Project Administration. 

The 11 projects built under the WCUA are: 

1. Buffalo Rapids Project—southeastern Montana 

2. Intake Project—Montana 

3. Mancos Project—southwest corner of Colorado 

4. Mann Creek Project—west-central Idaho 

5. Milk River Project—north-central Montana 

6. Angostura Unit of PSMB—southwestern South Dakota 

7. Mirage Flats Project—northwestern Nebraska 

8. Rathdrum Prairie Project—panhandle of Idaho 

9. Newton Project—Newton, Utah 

10. Missoula Valley Project—west-central Montana 

11. Scofield Project—Price, Utah 

Because these 11 projects were not authorized under Reclamation law, the authority to enter into leases of power privileges 

granted by section 5 of the Town Sites and Power Development Act 

of 1906 and section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939 do 

not extend to them. Additional legislation is needed to authorize 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN

the Bureau of Reclamation to enter into leases of power privileges 

at the WCUA projects. 

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

H.R. 1963, was introduced by Rep. Daines (R–MT) on May 14, 

2013. The House of Representatives passed the measure on a voice 

vote on December 3, 2013. A hearing was held on the bill by the 

Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Subcommittee 

on Water and Power, on February 27, 2014. At its business meeting on June 18, 2014, the Committee ordered H.R. 1963 favorably 

reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. 

Identical legislation, S. 2010 was introduced by Senator Barrasso 

on February 10, 2014. A hearing was held on the bill by the Subcommittee on Water and Power on February 27, 2014. At its business meeting on June 18, 2014, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee ordered S. 2010 favorably reported with an 

amendment in the nature of a substitute. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in 

open business session on June 18, 2014, by a voice vote of a 

quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass H.R. 1963, if 

amended as described herein. 

COMMITTEE AMENDMENT

During its consideration of H.R. 1963, the Committee adopted an 

amendment in the nature of a substitute. The amendment is technical in nature and makes changes to clarify the processes used in 

the lease of power privileges and to make it consistent with the 

Reclamation Small Conduit Hydropower and Rural Jobs Act (Public Law 113–24). The amendment is explained in detail in the section-by-section analysis below. 

SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS

Section 1 provides the short title. 

Section 2 amends section 9 of the WCUA by adding a new subsection (b) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to enter into 

leases of power privileges for electric power generation in connection with any project pursuant to the WUCA, and to give the Secretary authority over any project pursuant to that Act. Paragraph 

(2) of the new subsection (b) requires the Secretary to use the same 

processes, terms, and conditions applicable under section 9(c) of the 

Reclamation Project Act of 1930 (43 U.S.C. 485h(c)). Paragraph (3) 

provides that no findings are required for a lease of power privileges. Paragraph (4) provides that the lessee retains all right, title, 

and interest in power facilities constructed by non-Federal entities 

and all direct revenues derived from the lease. Paragraph (5) provides that lease charges shall be credited the project from which 

the power is derived. Paragraph (6) provides that nothing in the 

WCUA alters any agreement in effect on the date of enactment of 

H.R. 1963 for the development of hydropower projects or disposition of revenues.

COST AND BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS

The following estimate of costs of this measure has been provided 

by the Congressional Budget Office: 

H.R. 1963—Bureau of Reclamation Conduit Hydropower Development Equity and Jobs Act 

H.R. 1963 would authorize the Bureau of Reclamation to enter 

into leases with nonfederal entities to develop hydropower at 11 

water project facilities owned by the government. Based on information from the bureau, CBO estimates that enacting the bill 

would affect direct spending; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures 

apply. However, we estimate such effects would not be significant. 

Enacting the legislation would not affect revenues or discretionary 

spending. 

In 2011, the bureau completed an assessment of the 11 facilities 

and found that seven of the locations have potential for hydropower 

development. Under current law, the bureau is authorized to develop hydropower production at those seven facilities if production 

facilities are federally financed and owned; however, it has no 

plans to do so. Under the bill, the bureau would be authorized to 

work with nonfederal entities to develop hydropower through lease 

agreements at the 11 facilities specified in the legislation. Under 

such agreements, which we expect the bureau would take advantage of, nonfederal entities would finance the necessary hydropower 

improvements and own the electricity derived from those improvements in exchange for a lease payment to the federal government. 

Any such lease payments would first be applied to the small outstanding construction balances at some facilities where they are 

collected and then would be available to be spent without further 

appropriation on rehabilitation work at the facility. As a result, 

CBO estimates the net effects from such lease payments would not 

be significant. 

H.R. 1963 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Public entities, such as irrigation districts and water use associations, would 

benefit from federal hydropower leasing contracts. Any costs to 

those entities would be incurred voluntarily as a condition of receiving federal assistance. 

On September 11, 2013, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for 

H.R. 1963, the Bureau of Reclamation Conduit Hydropower Development Equity and Jobs Act, as ordered reported by the House 

Committee on Natural Resources on July 31, 2013. On July 3, 

2014, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 2010, the Bureau of 

Reclamation Conduit Hydropower Development Equity and Jobs 

Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Energy and 

Natural Resources on June 18, 2014. All three pieces of legislation 

are similar and CBO’s estimated costs are the same. 

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aurora Swanson. The 

estimate was approved by Theresa Gullo, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis. 

REGULATORY IMPACT EVALUATION

In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing 

Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following evaluation 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN
5 

of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in carrying out 

H.R. 1963. 

The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense of imposing 

Government-established standards or significant economic responsibilities on private individuals and businesses. 

No personal information would be collected in administering the 

program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal privacy. 

Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the enactment of H.R. 1963, as ordered reported. 

CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

This bill, as reported, does not contain any congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate. 

EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

The testimony provided by the Bureau of Reclamation at the 

February 27, 2014 Subcommittee on Water and Power hearing on 

H.R. 1963 follows: 

STATEMENT OF ROBERT QUINT, SENIOR ADVISOR, BUREAU

OF RECLAMATION, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Chairman Schatz, members of the Subcommittee, I am 

Bob Quint, Senior Advisor at the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation). I am pleased to provide the views of the Department of the Interior (Department) on S. 2010, the Bureau of Reclamation Conduit Hydropower Development 

Equity and Jobs Act. The Department, with some technical 

amendments summarized in this statement, supports S. 

2010, which amends the Water Conservation and Utilization Act (16 U.S.C. §§ 590y et seq.) to authorize the development of non-federal hydropower and issuance of leases 

of power privilege at projects constructed pursuant to the 

authority of the Water Conservation and Utilization Act 

(WCUA). In general, the Department supports the increase 

in the generation of clean, renewable hydroelectric power 

in existing canals and conduits. As noted in previous hearings, the Department has an aggressive sustainable hydropower agenda, which we continue to implement under existing authorities. My testimony today will summarize the 

Department’s efforts to encourage the development of sustainable hydropower, provide an overview of the history of 

WCUA, and detail the areas in the bill where we believe 

improvements could be made. 

DEPARTMENT’S HYDROPOWER EFFORTS

Before I share the Department’s views on S. 2010, I 

want to highlight some of the activities underway at the 

Department to develop additional renewable hydropower 

capacity. In March 2011, the Department of the Interior 

and Department of Energy announced nearly $17 million 

in funding over three years for research and development 

projects to advance hydropower technology. The funding 

included ten projects for a total of $7.3 million to research, 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN
6 

1http://www.usbr.gov/power/SignedHydropowerMOU.pdf, 2010. 

develop, and test low-head, small hydropower technologies 

that can be deployed at existing non-powered dams or constructed waterways. The funding will further the Administration’s goal of meeting 80 percent of our electricity needs 

from clean energy sources by 2035. 

In March 2010 the Department entered into a Hydropower Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)1 with the 

Department of Energy, and the Army Corps of Engineers 

to study and promote opportunities to develop additional 

hydropower. In March 2011, the Department released the 

results of an internal study, the Hydropower Resource Assessment at Existing Reclamation Facilities, that estimated the Department could generate up to one million 

megawatt hours of electricity annually and create jobs by 

addressing hydropower capacity at 70 of its existing facilities. While this first phase, completed in 2011, focused primarily on Reclamation dams, the second phase focused on 

constructed Reclamation waterways such as canals and 

conduits. In March 2012, Reclamation completed the second phase of its investigation of hydropower development, 

Site Inventory and Hydropower Energy Assessment of Reclamation Owned Conduits, as referenced in the 2010 

MOU. The two studies revealed that an additional 1.5 million megawatt-hours of renewable energy could be generated through hydropower at existing Reclamation sites. 

Reclamation worked diligently with our stakeholders 

and the hydropower industry to improve our lease of power 

privilege (LOPP) processes, and this collaboration culminated in the release of an updated and improved LOPP 

directive and standard in September 2012. These new procedures better define roles, timelines and responsibilities 

that will allow us to better support and encourage sustainable hydropower development at Reclamation facilities. 

This directive and standard was revised earlier this month 

to incorporate new process requirements established by 

Public Law 113–24, Bureau of Reclamation Small Conduit 

Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs Act. New process requirements updated in the document include: LOPPs 

being offered first to irrigation districts or water user associations operating or receiving water from Reclamation 

transferred or reserved works and establishing timeframes 

for irrigation districts or water user associations to accept 

or reject the LOPP offer. The temporary revised procedures are out for public comment until March 28, 2014. 

OVERVIEW OF HISTORY OF WCUA

The WCUA was enacted on August 11, 1939 (amended 

October 14, 1940) to provide assistance to people hard hit 

by drought in the Dust Bowl and other similar arid and 

semiarid areas of the United States through the construction and development of irrigation projects. WCUA leveraged the considerable labor available by the Work Project 

Administration and other federal agencies during the New 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN
7 

2WCUA Projects: Mancos Project, Colorado; Buford-Trenton Project (North Dakota); Buffalo 

Rapids Project, Montana; Scofield Project, Utah; Intake Project, Montana; Mirage Flats Project, 

Nebraska; Missoula Valley Project, Montana; Mann Creek Project, Idaho (not eventually constructed under WCUA); Newton Project, Utah; Rapid Valley Project, South Dakota; Balmorhea 

Project, Texas. The Eden Project, Wyoming, was originally considered under the WCUA but was 

constructed under separate authority. In addition, three units were authorized pursuant to 

WCUA authority. Each unit is part of a Reclamation project that was not altogether authorized 

by the WCUA. The three units include. Dodson Pumping Unit, Milk River Project, Montana; 

Post Falls Unit, Rathdrum Prairie Project, Idaho; and the Woodside Unit, Bitterroot Valley 

Project, Montana (no construction has been undertaken). 

Deal, which absent congressional authorization, were precluded from using appropriations for many of the requisite 

needs of irrigation projects. For example, the Work Project 

Administration and other federal agencies did not have the 

authority to purchase water rights, rights-of-way, heavy 

machinery, and the services required to design and construct engineering features, prepare legal documents, and 

administer projects. WCUA resolved this issue by authorizing the Bureau of Reclamation to use appropriations to 

purchase rights-of-way, equipment and supplies, and for 

the payment of competent supervisory, technical, legal and 

administrative assistance, while the Work Project Administration and other federal agencies funded the costs of mechanics and laborers. Under WCUA, the Bureau of Reclamation retained the responsibility for the construction 

and administration of these projects. The Bureau of Reclamation has been authorized to construct 11 projects and 

three separate units under the WCUA.2

Reclamation is authorized to issue LOPP contracts on 

projects that were authorized under Reclamation law pursuant to Section 5 of the Town Sites and Power Development Act of 1906, 43 U.S.C. § 522, and Section 9(c) of the 

Reclamation Project Act of 1939, 43 U.S.C. § 485h(c). However, WCUA projects were not authorized pursuant to Reclamation law and the provisions of WCUA are only subject 

to Reclamation law where explicitly identified in the 

WCUA. The LOPP authority granted in Section 5 of the 

Town Sites and Power Development Act of 1906, 43 U.S.C. 

§ 522, and Section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 

1939, 43 U.S.C. § 485h(c) does not apply to WCUA projects 

since it is not identified in the WCUA, and therefore 

WCUA projects are not authorized to develop non-federal 

hydropower absent congressional action. The Mancos 

Project in southwestern Colorado is such a case where 

Congress authorized the nonfederal development of hydropower on a WCUA project through project specific legislation (P.L. 103–434). 

S. 2010

Reclamation testified on H.R. 1963, a companion measure to the legislation before the subcommittee today, last 

May before the House Water and Power Subcommittee. 

The legislation was amended by the House of Representatives, and that bill is identical to the legislation before the 

Subcommittee today, S. 2010. The Department would be 

pleased to work with the Subcommittee to further refine 

the legislation. 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS-SEN
8 

Section 2(c) of S. 2010 would specifically authorize Reclamation to develop or enter into LOPP contracts for the 

development of new hydropower on projects and facilities 

authorized by WCUA, consistent with the Reclamation 

Project Act of 1939. In accordance with federal Reclamation law, typically LOPP charges paid by Lessees are deposited in the Reclamation Fund as a credit to the affected 

project. However, WCUA projects were not funded by the 

Reclamation Fund, but rather the General Fund of the 

Treasury. To this point, the WCUA states that all receipts 

from WCUA project operations—including power—are to 

be covered into the Treasury, rather than the Reclamation 

Fund, to the credit of miscellaneous receipts. Therefore, if 

the intention of S. 2010 is for WCUA LOPP charges to 

credit the affected WCUA project, additional clarification is 

necessary in Section 2(g) of S. 2010 detailing where the 

charges will be covered and how they will be applied to the 

affected project. The Department looks forward to the opportunity to work with the sponsors to address this issue. 

Sections 2(h), 2(i), 2(j), 2(k), and 2(m) are duplicative of 

Section 9(c) of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939, as 

amended by P.L. 113–24, Bureau of Reclamation Small 

Conduit Hydropower Development and Rural Jobs Act. If 

the 1939 Act is amended again, there will be two distinct 

LOPP processes, one for traditional Reclamation projects 

and one for WCUA projects, as prescribed in S. 2010. For 

that reason, the Department recommends deleting these 

duplicative areas of the bill. Reclamation would be happy 

to work with the Subcommittee to address these concerns. 

Finally, Reclamation is concerned that the bill as written may be interpreted in such a way that the LOPP authorization granted is restricted to small conduit hydropower development and would not apply to all WCUA conduit development or dam development. For context, all 

WCUA conduit sites that show hydropower potential are 

under 5 MW and would qualify as ‘‘small conduit hydropower;’’ however, the majority of WCUA hydropower potential exists at WCUA dams. Therefore, if the intent of 

the bill is to ‘‘unlock’’ the WCUA for non-federal development through LOPP, the authorization needs to extend to 

all WCUA conduits and dams. As the bill is written, it is 

unclear if the authorization extends to all WCUA conduits 

and dams. Reclamation would be happy to work with the 

Subcommittee to address this concern. 

In conclusion, as stated at previous hydropower hearings 

before this subcommittee, Reclamation will continue to review and assess potential new hydropower projects that 

provide a high economic return for the nation, are energy 

efficient, and can be accomplished in accordance with protections for fish and wildlife, the environment, or recreation. As the nation’s second largest hydropower producer, 

Reclamation strongly believes in the past, present and 

bright future of this important electricity resource.
