SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Reclamation Rural Water Supply Act of 
December 22, 2006 (Pub. L. 109-451, Title I, 120 Stat. 3346, 43 U.S.C. 
2401, et seq.) authorized Reclamation to establish a program to work 
with rural communities, including Indian tribes, in the 17 Western 
States to assess rural water supply needs and identify options to 
address those needs through appraisal investigations and feasibility 
studies.
    Applicants submitted initial appraisal investigations for review of 
technical adequacy and completeness. Once reviewed, Reclamation 
prepared appraisal reports to document the findings and conclusions of 
the appraisal investigations that identified the water supply problems, 
needs, and opportunities in the planning study areas. Based on meeting 
the appraisal and eligibility criteria, as specified in Public Law 109-
451, Reclamation determined the following seven appraisal 
investigations were complete; copies of the appraisal reports are 
available at http://www.usbr.gov/ruralwater, and hard copies are
