          Subtitle B--Prehistoric Trackways National Monument

SEC. 2101. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds that--
        (1) in 1987, a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized 
    footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Mountains in 
    southern New Mexico;
        (2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous amphibians, 
    reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown species), 
    plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately 280,000,000 
    years, which collectively provide new opportunities to understand 
    animal behaviors and environments from a time predating the 
    dinosaurs;
        (3) title III of Public Law 101-578 (104 Stat. 2860)--
            (A) provided interim protection for the site at which the 
        trackways were discovered; and
            (B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to--
                (i) prepare a study assessing the significance of the 
            site; and
                (ii) based on the study, provide recommendations for 
            protection of the paleontological resources at the site;
        (4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleozoic 
    Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which characterized the 
    site as containing ``the most scientifically significant Early 
    Permian tracksites'' in the world;
        (5) despite the conclusion of the study and the recommendations 
    for protection, the site remains unprotected and many irreplaceable 
    trackways specimens have been lost to vandalism or theft; and
        (6) designation of the trackways site as a National Monument 
    would protect the unique fossil resources for present and future 
    generations while allowing for public education and continued 
    scientific research opportunities.

        (2) the measures which shall be implemented to mitigate impacts 
    on adjacent and downstream water users and landowners.
    (e) Design and Engineering Studies.--The Secretary is authorized to 
conduct any design or engineering studies that are necessary to

    (f) Effect on Contract Water Allocations.--Except as otherwise 
provided in this section, the implementation of the Settlement and the 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon 
pursuant to the Settlement and section 10011, shall not result in the 
involuntary reduction in contract water allocations to Central Valley 
Project long-term contractors, other than Friant Division long-term 
contractors.
    (g) Effect on Existing Water Contracts.--Except as provided in the 
Settlement and this part, nothing in this part shall modify or amend 
the rights and obligations of the parties to any existing water 
service, repayment, purchase, or exchange contract.
    (h) Interim Flows.--
        (1) Study required.--Prior to releasing any Interim Flows under 
    the Settlement, the Secretary shall prepare an analysis in 
    compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 
    U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), including at a minimum--
            (A) an analysis of channel conveyance capacities and 
        potential for levee or groundwater seepage;
            (B) a description of the associated seepage monitoring 
        program;
            (C) an evaluation of--
                (i) possible impacts associated with the release of 
            Interim Flows; and
                (ii) mitigation measures for those impacts that are 
            determined to be significant;
            (D) a description of the associated flow monitoring 
        program; and
            (E) an analysis of the likely Federal costs, if any, of any 
        fish screens, fish bypass facilities, fish salvage facilities, 
        and related operations on the San Joaquin River south of the 
        confluence with the Merced River required under the Endangered 
        Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) as a result of the 
        Interim Flows.
        (2) Conditions for release.--The Secretary is authorized to 
    release Interim Flows to the extent that such flows would not--
            (A) impede or delay completion of the measures specified in 
        Paragraph 11(a) of the Settlement; or
            (B) exceed existing downstream channel capacities.
        (3) Seepage impacts.--The Secretary shall reduce Interim Flows 
    to the extent necessary to address any material adverse impacts to 
    third parties from groundwater seepage caused by such flows that 
    the Secretary identifies based on the monitoring program of the 
    Secretary.
        (4) Temporary fish barrier program.--The Secretary, in 
    consultation with the California Department of Fish and Game, shall 
    evaluate the effectiveness of the Hills Ferry barrier in preventing 
    the unintended upstream migration of anadromous fish in the San 
    Joaquin River and any false migratory pathways. If that evaluation 
    determines that any such migration past the barrier is caused by 
    the introduction of the Interim Flows and that the presence of such 
    fish will result in the imposition of additional regulatory actions 
    against third parties, the Secretary is authorized to assist the 
    Department of Fish and Game in making improvements to the barrier. 
    From funding made available in accordance with section 10009, if 
    third parties along the San Joaquin River south of its confluence 
    with the Merced River are required to install fish screens or fish 
    bypass facilities due to the release of Interim Flows in order to 
    comply with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 
    seq.), the Secretary shall bear the costs of the installation of 
    such screens or facilities if such costs would be borne by the 
    Federal Government under section 10009(a)(3), except to the extent 
    that such costs are already or are further willingly borne by the 
    State of California or by the third parties.
    (i) Funding Availability.--
        (1) In general.--Funds shall be collected in the San Joaquin 
    River Restoration Fund through October 1, 2019, and thereafter, 
    with substantial amounts available through October 1, 2019, 
    pursuant to section 10009 for implementation of the Settlement and 
    parts I and III, including--
            (A) $88,000,000, to be available without further 
        appropriation pursuant to section 10009(c)(2);
            (B) additional amounts authorized to be appropriated, 
        including the charges required under section 10007 and an 
        estimated $20,000,000 from the CVP Restoration Fund pursuant to 
        section 10009(b)(2); and
            (C) an aggregate commitment of at least $200,000,000 by the 
        State of California.
        (2) Additional amounts.--Substantial additional amounts from

                (iii) measures that shall be implemented to mitigate 
            impacts.
            (B) Deadline.--The study under subparagraph (A) shall be 
        completed prior to restoration of any flows other than Interim 
        Flows.
        (2) Report.--
            (A) In general.--The Secretary shall file a report with 
        Congress not later than 90 days after issuing a determination, 
        as required by the Settlement, on whether to expand channel 
        conveyance capacity to 4500 cubic feet per second in reach 4B 
        of the San Joaquin River, or use an alternative route for pulse 
        flows, that--
                (i) explains whether the Secretary has decided to 
            expand Reach 4B capacity to 4500 cubic feet per second; and
                (ii) addresses the following matters:

                    (I) The basis for the Secretary's determination, 
                whether set out in environmental review documents or 
                otherwise, as to whether the expansion of Reach 4B 
                would be the preferable means to achieve the 
                Restoration Goal as provided in the Settlement, 
                including how different factors were assessed such as 
                comparative biological and habitat benefits, 
                comparative costs, relative availability of State cost-
                sharing funds, and the comparative benefits and impacts 
                on water temperature, water supply, private property, 
                and local and downstream flood control.
                    (II) The Secretary's final cost estimate for 
                expanding Reach 4B capacity to 4500 cubic feet per 
                second, or any alternative route selected, as well as 
                the alternative cost estimates provided by the State, 
                by the Restoration Administrator, and by the other 
                parties to the Settlement.
                    (III) The Secretary's plan for funding the costs of 
                expanding Reach 4B or any alternative route selected, 
                whether by existing Federal funds provided under this 
                subtitle, by non-Federal funds, by future Federal 
                appropriations, or some combination of such sources.

            (B) Determination required.--The Secretary shall, to the 
        extent feasible, make the determination in subparagraph (A) 
        prior to undertaking any substantial construction work to 
        increase capacity in reach 4B.
        (3) Costs.--If the Secretary's estimated Federal cost for 
    expanding reach 4B in paragraph (2), in light of the Secretary's 
    funding plan set out in that paragraph, would exceed the remaining 
    Federal funding authorized by this part (including all funds 
    reallocated, all funds dedicated, and all new funds authorized by 
    this part and separate from all commitments of State and other non-
    Federal funds and in-kind commitments), then before the Secretary 
    commences actual construction work in reach 4B (other than 
    planning, design, feasibility, or other preliminary measures) to 
    expand capacity to 4500 cubic feet per second to implement this 
    Settlement, Congress must have increased the applicable 
    authorization ceiling provided by this part in an amount at least 
    sufficient to cover the higher estimated Federal costs.
SEC. 10010. REPAYMENT CONTRACTS AND ACCELERATION OF REPAYMENT OF 
CONSTRUCTION COSTS.
    (a) Conversion of Contracts.--
        (1) The Secretary is authorized and directed to convert, prior

    other existing long-term contracts with Friant Division contractors 
    entered under subsection (e) of section 9 of the Act of August 4, 
    1939 (53 Stat. 1196), to contracts under subsection (d) of section 
    9 of said Act (53 Stat. 1195), under mutually agreeable terms and 
    conditions.
        (2) Upon request of the contractor, the Secretary is further 
    authorized to convert, prior to December 31, 2010, any existing 
    Friant Division long-term contract entered under subsection (c)(2) 
    of section 9 of the Act of August 4, 1939 (53 Stat. 1194), to a 
    contract under subsection (c)(1) of section 9 of said Act, under 
    mutually agreeable terms and conditions.
        (3) All such contracts entered into pursuant to paragraph (1) 
    shall--
            (A) require the repayment, either in lump sum or by 
        accelerated prepayment, of the remaining amount of construction 
        costs identified in the Central Valley Project Schedule of 
        Irrigation Capital Rates by Contractor 2007 Irrigation Water 
        Rates, dated January 25, 2007, as adjusted to reflect payments 
        not reflected in such schedule, and properly assignable for 
        ultimate return by the contractor, no later than January 31, 
        2011, or if made in approximately equal annual installments, no 
        later than January 31, 2014; such amount to be discounted by 
        \1/2\ the Treasury Rate. An estimate of the remaining amount of 
        construction costs as of January 31, 2011, as adjusted, shall 
        be provided by the Secretary to each contractor no later than 
        June 30, 2010;
            (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection (c)(2), 
        construction costs or other capitalized costs incurred after 
        the effective date of the contract or not reflected in the 
        schedule referenced in subparagraph (A), and properly 
        assignable to such contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 
        5 years after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
        a result of a collective annual allocation of capital costs to 
        the contractors exercising contract conversions under this 
        subsection of less than $5,000,000. If such amount is 
        $5,000,000 or greater, such cost shall be repaid as provided by 
        applicable Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
        amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any other 
        context;
            (C) provide that power revenues will not be available to 
        aid in repayment of construction costs allocated to irrigation 
        under the contract; and
            (D) conform to the Settlement and this part and shall 
        continue so long as the contractor pays applicable charges, 
        consistent with subsection (c)(2) and applicable law.
        (4) All such contracts entered into pursuant to paragraph (2) 
    shall--
            (A) require the repayment in lump sum of the remaining 
        amount of construction costs identified in the most current 
        version of the Central Valley Project Schedule of Municipal and 
        Industrial Water Rates, as adjusted to reflect payments not 
        reflected in such schedule, and properly assignable for 
        ultimate return by the contractor, no later than January 31, 
        2014. An estimate of the remaining amount of construction costs 
        as of January 31, 2014, as adjusted, shall be provided by the 
        Secretary to each contractor no later than June 30, 2013;
            (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection (c)(2), 
        construction costs or other capitalized costs incurred after 
        the effective date of the contract or not reflected in the 
        schedule referenced in subparagraph (A), and properly 
        assignable to such contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 
        5 years after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
        a result of a collective annual allocation of capital costs to 
        the contractors exercising contract conversions under this 
        subsection of less than $5,000,000. If such amount is 
        $5,000,000 or greater, such cost shall be repaid as provided by 
        applicable Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
        amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any other 
        context; and
            (C) conform to the Settlement and this part and shall 
        continue so long as the contractor pays applicable charges, 
        consistent with subsection (c)(2) and applicable law.
    (b) Final Adjustment.--The amounts paid pursuant to subsection (a) 
shall be subject to adjustment following a final cost allocation by the 
Secretary upon completion of the construction of the Central Valley 
Project. In the event that the final cost allocation indicates that the 
costs properly assignable to the contractor are greater than what has 
been paid by the contractor, the contractor shall be obligated to pay 
the remaining allocated costs. The term of such additional repayment 
contract shall be no less than 1 year and no more than 10 years, 
however, mutually agreeable provisions regarding the rate of repayment 
of such amount may be developed by the parties. In the event that the 
final cost allocation indicates that the costs properly assignable to 
the contractor are less than what the contractor has paid, the 
Secretary is authorized and directed to credit such overpayment as an 
offset against any outstanding or future obligation of the contractor.
    (c) Applicability of Certain Provisions.--
        (1) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under subsection 
    (a)(3)(B) or subsection (b), upon a contractor's compliance with 
    and discharge of the obligation of repayment of the construction 
    costs as provided in subsection (a)(3)(A), the provisions of 
    section 213(a) and (b) of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (96 
    Stat. 1269) shall apply to lands in such district.
        (2) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under paragraph 
    (3)(B) or (4)(B) of subsection (a), or subsection (b), upon a 
    contractor's compliance with and discharge of the obligation of 
    repayment of the construction costs as provided in paragraphs 
    (3)(A) and (4)(A) of subsection (a), the Secretary shall waive the 
    pricing provisions of section 3405(d) of the Reclamation Projects 
    Authorization and Adjustment Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-575) for 
    such contractor, provided that such contractor shall continue to 
    pay applicable operation and maintenance costs and other charges 
    applicable to such repayment contracts pursuant to the then-current 
    rate-setting policy and applicable law.
        (3) Provisions of the Settlement applying to Friant Division, 
    Hidden Unit, and Buchanan Unit long-term water service contracts 
    shall also apply to contracts executed pursuant to this section.
    (d) Reduction of Charge for Those Contracts Converted Pursuant to 
Subsection (a)(1).--
        (1) At the time all payments by the contractor required by 
    subsection (a)(3)(A) have been completed, the Secretary shall 
    reduce the charge mandated in section 10007(1) of this part, from 
    2020 through 2039, to offset the financing costs as defined in 
    section 10010(d)(3). The reduction shall be calculated at the time 
    all payments by the contractor required by subsection (a)(3)(A) 
    have been completed. The calculation shall remain fixed from 2020 
    through 2039 and shall be based upon anticipated average annual 
    water deliveries, as mutually agreed upon by the Secretary and the 
    contractor, for the period from 2020 through 2039, and the amounts 
    of such reductions shall be discounted using the Treasury Rate; 
    provided, that such charge shall not be reduced to less than $4.00 
    per acre foot of project water delivered; provided further, that 
    such reduction shall be implemented annually unless the Secretary 
    determines, based on the availability of other monies, that the 
    charges mandated in section 10007(1) are otherwise needed to cover 
    ongoing federal costs of the Settlement, including any federal 
    operation and maintenance costs of facilities that the Secretary 
    determines are needed to implement the Settlement. If the Secretary 
    determines that such charges are necessary to cover such ongoing 
    federal costs, the Secretary shall, instead of making the reduction 
    in such charges, reduce the contractor's operation and maintenance 
    obligation by an equivalent amount, and such amount shall not be 
    recovered by the United States from any Central Valley Project 
    contractor, provided nothing herein shall affect the obligation of 
    the contractor to make payments pursuant to a transfer agreement 
    with a non-federal operating entity.
        (2) If the calculated reduction in paragraph (1), taking into 
    consideration the minimum amount required, does not result in the 
    contractor offsetting its financing costs, the Secretary is 
    authorized and directed to reduce, after October 1, 2019, any 
    outstanding or future obligations of the contractor to the Bureau 
    of Reclamation, other than the charge assessed and collected under 
    section 3407(d) of Public law 102-575, by the amount of such 
    deficiency, with such amount indexed to 2020 using the Treasury 
    Rate and such amount shall not be recovered by the United States 
    from any Central Valley Project contractor, provided nothing herein 
    shall affect the obligation of the contractor to make payments 
    pursuant to a transfer agreement with a non-Federal operating 
    entity.
        (3) Financing costs, for the purposes of this subsection, shall 
    be computed as the difference of the net present value of the 
    construction cost identified in subsection (a)(3)(A) using the full 
    Treasury Rate as compared to using one half of the Treasury Rate 
    and applying those rates against a calculated average annual 
    capital repayment through 2030.
        (4) Effective in 2040, the charge shall revert to the amount 
    called for in section 10007(1) of this part.
        (5) For purposes of this section, ``Treasury Rate'' shall be 
    defined as the 20 year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rate 
    published by the United States Department of the Treasury as of 
    October 1, 2010.
    (e) Satisfaction of Certain Provisions.--
        (1) In general.--Upon the first release of Interim Flows or 
    Restoration Flows, pursuant to paragraphs 13 or 15 of the 
    Settlement, any short- or long-term agreement, to which 1 or more 
    long-term Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or Buchanan Unit contractor 
    that converts its contract pursuant to subsection (a) is a party, 
    providing for the transfer or exchange of water not released as 
    Interim Flows or Restoration Flows shall be deemed to satisfy the 
    provisions of subsection 3405(a)(1)(A) and (I) of the Reclamation 
    Projects Authorization and Adjustment Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-
    575) without the further concurrence of the Secretary as to 
    compliance with said subsections if the contractor provides, not 
    later than 90 days before commencement of any such transfer or 
    exchange for a period in excess of 1 year, and not later than 30 
    days before commencement of any proposed transfer or exchange with 
    duration of less than 1 year, written notice to the Secretary 
    stating how the proposed transfer or exchange is intended to 
    reduce, avoid, or mitigate impacts to water deliveries caused by 
    the Interim Flows or Restoration Flows or is intended to otherwise 
    facilitate the Water Management Goal, as described in the 
    Settlement. The Secretary shall promptly make such notice publicly 
    available.
        (2) Determination of reductions to water deliveries.--Water 
    transferred or exchanged under an agreement that meets the terms of 
    this subsection shall not be counted as a replacement or an offset 
    for purposes of determining reductions to water deliveries to any 
    Friant Division long-term contractor except as provided in 
    paragraph 16(b) of the Settlement. The Secretary shall, at least 
    annually, make publicly available a compilation of the number of 
    transfer or exchange agreements exercising the provisions of this 
    subsection to reduce, avoid, or mitigate impacts to water 
    deliveries caused by the Interim Flows or Restoration Flows or to 
    facilitate the Water Management Goal, as well as the volume of 
    water transferred or exchanged under such agreements.
        (3) State law.--Nothing in this subsection alters State law or 
    permit conditions, including any applicable geographical 
    restrictions on the place of use of water transferred or exchanged 
    pursuant to this subsection.
    (f) Certain Repayment Obligations Not Altered.--Implementation of 
the provisions of this section shall not alter the repayment obligation 
of any other long-term water service or repayment contractor receiving 
water from the Central Valley Project, or shift any costs that would 
otherwise have been properly assignable to the Friant contractors 
absent this section, including operations and maintenance costs, 
construction costs, or other capitalized costs incurred after the date 
of enactment of this Act, to other such contractors.
    (g) Statutory Interpretation.--Nothing in this part shall be 
construed to affect the right of any Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or 
Buchanan Unit long-term contractor to use a particular type of 
financing to make the payments required in paragraph (3)(A) or (4)(A) 
of subsection (a).
SEC. 10011. CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY SPRING RUN CHINOOK SALMON.
    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the implementation of the 
Settlement to resolve 18 years of contentious litigation regarding 
restoration of the San Joaquin River and the reintroduction of the 
California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon is a unique and 
unprecedented circumstance that requires clear expressions of 
Congressional intent regarding how the provisions of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) are utilized to achieve 
the goals of restoration of the San Joaquin River and the successful 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (b) Reintroduction in the San Joaquin River.--California Central 
Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon shall be reintroduced in the San 
Joaquin River below Friant Dam pursuant to section 10(j) of the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(j)) and the Settlement, 
provided that the Secretary of Commerce finds that a permit for the 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon 
may be issued pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(1)(A)).
    (c) Final Rule.--
        (1) Definition of third party.--For the purpose of this 
    subsection, the term ``third party'' means persons or entities 
    diverting or receiving water pursuant to applicable State and 
    Federal laws and shall include Central Valley Project contractors 
    outside of the Friant Division of the Central Valley Project and 
    the State Water Project.
        (2) Issuance.--The Secretary of Commerce shall issue a final 
    rule pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
    (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) governing the incidental take of reintroduced 
    California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon prior to the 
    reintroduction.
        (3) Required components.--The rule issued under paragraph (2) 
    shall provide that the reintroduction will not impose more than de 
    minimus: water supply reductions, additional storage releases, or 
    bypass flows on unwilling third parties due to such reintroduction.
        (4) Applicable law.--Nothing in this section--
            (A) diminishes the statutory or regulatory protections 
        provided in the Endangered Species Act of 1973 for any species 
        listed pursuant to section 4 of the Endangered Species Act of 
        1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533) other than the reintroduced population of 
        California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon, including 
        protections pursuant to existing biological opinions or new 
        biological opinions issued by the Secretary or Secretary of 
        Commerce; or
            (B) precludes the Secretary or Secretary of Commerce from 
        imposing protections under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 
        (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for other species listed pursuant to 
        section 4 of that Act (16 U.S.C. 1533) because those 
        protections provide incidental benefits to such reintroduced 
        California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (d) Report.--
        (1) In general.--Not later than December 31, 2024, the 
    Secretary of Commerce shall report to Congress on the progress made 
    on the reintroduction set forth in this section and the Secretary's 
    plans for future implementation of this section.
        (2) Inclusions.--The report under paragraph (1) shall include--
            (A) an assessment of the major challenges, if any, to 
        successful reintroduction;
            (B) an evaluation of the effect, if any, of the 
        reintroduction on the existing population of California Central 
        Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon existing on the Sacramento 
        River or its tributaries; and
            (C) an assessment regarding the future of the 
        reintroduction.
    (e) FERC Projects.--
        (1) In general.--With regard to California Central Valley 
    Spring Run Chinook salmon reintroduced pursuant to the Settlement, 
    the Secretary of Commerce shall exercise its authority under 
    section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 811) by reserving 
    its right to file prescriptions in proceedings for projects 
    licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the 
    Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, and San Joaquin rivers and 
    otherwise consistent with subsection (c) until after the expiration 
    of the term of the Settlement, December 31, 2025, or the expiration 
    of the designation made pursuant to subsection (b), whichever ends 
    first.
        (2) Effect of subsection.--Nothing in this subsection shall 
    preclude the Secretary of Commerce from imposing prescriptions 
    pursuant to section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 811) 
    solely for other anadromous fish species because those 
    prescriptions provide incidental benefits to such reintroduced 
    California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (f) Effect of Section.--Nothing in this section is intended or 
shall be construed--
        (1) to modify the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
    1531 et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.); or
        (2) to establish a precedent with respect to any other 
    application of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 
    et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.).

              PART II--STUDY TO DEVELOP WATER PLAN; REPORT

SEC. 10101. STUDY TO DEVELOP WATER PLAN; REPORT.
    (a) Plan.--

            Representatives on Colorado River Operations from each 
            State signatory to the Colorado River Compact, all 
            operational and decisional criteria, policies, contracts, 
            guidelines or other documents that control the operations 
            of the Colorado River System reservoirs and diversion 
            works, so as to adjust, account for, and offset the 
            diversion of water apportioned to the State of Arizona, 
            pursuant to the Boulder Canyon Project Act (43 U.S.C. 617 
            et seq.), from a point of diversion on the San Juan River 
            in New Mexico; provided that all such modifications shall 
            be consistent with the provisions of this Section, and the 
            modifications made pursuant to this clause shall be 
            applicable only for the duration of any such diversions

        (2) authorizes the forbearance of water uses in the State of 
    New Mexico to allow uses of water in other States other than as 
    authorized under subsection (d).
    (f) Colorado River Compacts.--Notwithstanding any other provision 
of law--
        (1) water may be diverted by the Project from the San Juan 
    River in the State of New Mexico for use within New Mexico in the 
    lower basin, as that term is used in the Colorado River Compact;

Subtitle C--Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Water 
                           Rights Settlement

SEC. 10801. FINDINGS.
    Congress finds that--
        (1) it is the policy of the United States, in accordance with 
    the trust responsibility of the United States to Indian tribes, to 
    promote Indian self-determination and economic self-sufficiency and 
    to settle Indian water rights claims without lengthy and costly 
    litigation, if practicable;
        (2) quantifying rights to water and development of facilities 
    needed to use tribal water supplies is essential to the development 
    of viable Indian reservation economies and the establishment of a 
    permanent reservation homeland;
        (3) uncertainty concerning the extent of the Shoshone-Paiute 
    Tribes' water rights has resulted in limited access to water and 
    inadequate financial resources necessary to achieve self-
    determination and self-sufficiency;
        (4) in 2006, the Tribes, the State of Idaho, the affected 
    individual water users, and the United States resolved all tribal 
    claims to water rights in the Snake River Basin Adjudication 
    through a consent decree entered by the District Court of the Fifth 
    Judicial District of the State of Idaho, requiring no further 
    Federal action to quantify the Tribes' water rights in the State of 
    Idaho;
        (5) as of the date of enactment of this Act, proceedings to 
    determine the extent and nature of the water rights of the Tribes 
    in the East Fork of the Owyhee River in Nevada are pending before 
    the Nevada State Engineer;
        (6) final resolution of the Tribes' water claims in the East 
    Fork of the Owyhee River adjudication will--
            (A) take many years;
            (B) entail great expense;
            (C) continue to limit the access of the Tribes to water, 
        with economic and social consequences;
            (D) prolong uncertainty relating to the availability of 
        water supplies; and
            (E) seriously impair long-term economic planning and 
        development for all parties to the litigation;
        (7) after many years of negotiation, the Tribes, the State, and 
    the upstream water users have entered into a settlement agreement 
    to resolve permanently all water rights of the Tribes in the State; 
    and
        (8) the Tribes also seek to resolve certain water-related 
    claims for damages against the United States.
SEC. 10802. PURPOSES.
