         TITLE I--REFORMED BUREAU OF RECLAMATION WATER PRICING

SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Irrigation Subsidy Reduction Act of 
2001''.

SEC. 102. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Federal reclamation program has been in existence 
        for over 90 years, with an estimated taxpayer investment of 
        over $70,000,000,000;
            (2) the program has had and continues to have an enormous 
        effect on the water resources and aquatic environments of the 
        western States;
            (3) irrigation water made available from Federal water 
        projects in the West is a very valuable resource for which 
        there are increasing and competing demands;
            (4) the justification for providing water at less than full 
        cost was to benefit and promote the development of small family 
        farms and exclude large corporate farms, but this purpose has 
        been frustrated over the years due to inadequate implementation 
        of subsidy and acreage limits;
            (5) below-cost water prices tend to encourage excessive use 
        of scarce water supplies in the arid regions of the West, and 
        reasonable price increases to the wealthiest western farmers 
        would provide an economic incentive for greater water 
        conservation;
            (6) the Federal Government has increasingly applied 
        eligibility tests based on income for Federal entitlement and 
        subsidy programs, measures that are consistent with the 
        historic approach of the reclamation program's acreage 
        limitations that seek to limit water subsidies to smaller 
        farms; and
            (7) including a means test based on gross income in the 
        reclamation program will increase the effectiveness of carrying 
        out the family farm goals of the Federal reclamation laws.

SEC. 103. AMENDMENTS.

    (a) Definitions.--Section 202 of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982
