answer:
Amends the National Oilheat Research Alliance Act of 2000 to adjust its focus upon oilheat to a focus upon oilheat fuel.

Defines "oilheat fuel" as distillate liquid used as a fuel for nonindustrial commercial or residential space or hot water heating.

Makes technical and conforming amendments.

Revises the membership of the National Oilheat Research Alliance. Provides that, other than the public members of the Alliance, members shall be full-time managerial owners or employees of members of the oilheat fuel industry.

Revises assessment requirements. States that the assessment rate for calendar years 2008 and 2009 shall be equal to two-tenths of 1% per gallon of distillate liquid (currently, No. 1 distillate and No. 2 dyed distillate).

Declares that, beginning with calendar year 2010, the annual assessment rate shall be sufficient to cover the costs of the plans and programs developed by the Alliance.

Sets forth: (1) a maximum assessment rate; and (2) limitations on any assessment increase.

Prohibits any consumer education activity undertaken with funds derived from Alliance assessments from including a direct reference to a competing product.

Repeals the termination date for the Act (thus making it permanent).

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Pine River Indian Irrigation Project 
Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) drought, population increases, and environmental needs 
        are exacerbating water supply issues across the western United 
        States, including on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation in 
        southwestern Colorado;
            (2)(A) a report of the Government Accountability Office 
        dated 2006 identified significant issues with the Pine River 
        Indian Irrigation Project, including the issue that, at the 
        time of the study, the Bureau of Indian Affairs estimated that 
        total deferred maintenance costs for the Project exceeded 
        $20,000,000; and
            (B) other estimates have placed those costs at more than 
        $60,000,000;
            (3) the report of the Government Accountability Office 
        demonstrates that key facilities of the Project are severely 
        deteriorated;
            (4) operations and maintenance fees are not sufficient to 
        address the condition of the Project, even though the Bureau of 
        Indian Affairs has sought to double those fees, from $8.50 to 
        $17, in recent years;
            (5) the report of the Government Accountability Office also 
        notes that a prior study done by the Bureau of Reclamation 
        determined that water users could not afford to pay operations 
        and maintenance fees of $8.50 and operate a profitable farming 
        operation;
            (6) the benefits of rehabilitating and repairing the 
        irrigation infrastructure of the Project include--
                    (A) water conservation;
                    (B) extending available water supply;
                    (C) increased agricultural production;
                    (D) economic benefits;
                    (E) safer facilities; and
                    (F) the preservation of the culture of the Southern 
                Ute Indian Tribe;
            (7) while, as of the date of enactment of this Act, the 
        Project is managed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the 
        Southern Ute Indian Tribe also receives water from facilities 
        owned or operated by the Bureau of Reclamation; and
            (8) rehabilitation and repair of the infrastructure of the 
        Project by the Bureau of Reclamation would improve--
                    (A) overall water management; and
                    (B) the ability of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe 
                and the Bureau of Reclamation to address potential 
                water conflicts.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to require the Secretary 
of the Interior--
            (1) to assess the condition of infrastructure of the Pine 
        River Indian Irrigation Project;
            (2) to establish priorities for the rehabilitation of 
        irrigation infrastructure within the Project according to 
        specified criteria; and
            (3) to implement rehabilitation activities for the 
        irrigation infrastructure of the Project.

answer:

Pine River Indian Irrigation Project Act of 2009 - Directs the Secretary of the Interior to study the irrigation infrastructure of the Pine River Indian Irrigation Project, Colorado, and develop a list of activities that are recommended to be implemented over a 10-year period to repair, rehabilitate, or reconstruct that infrastructure.

Requires the Secretary to prioritize activities based on: (1) a review of specified priority factors (i.e., threats to health and safety; the extent of disrepair and its effect on the ability of Project users to irrigate agricultural land; the extent to which infrastructure repair would provide an opportunity to conserve water; the economic and cultural impacts the disrepair has, and benefits the repair would have, on the Tribe; the opportunity to address water supply or environmental conflicts through repair; and overall benefits of the activity to efficient water operations on the land of the Tribe); (2) recommendations of the Tribe; and (3) a consideration of projected benefits on Project completion.

Authorizes the Secretary to provide grants to, and enter into cooperative agreements with, the Tribe to repair, rehabilitate, reconstruct, or replace the Project's irrigation infrastructure. Prohibits such assistance from being used for on-farm improvements. Requires the Secretary, in providing assistance, to coordinate the activity with any work being conducted under the irrigation operations and maintenance program of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

Caps the federal share of the total cost at 75%, subject to a waiver or limitation on the nonfederal share, at the Tribe's request.
