claims in the Snake River basin in
Idaho. It also provided innovative and
collaborative solutions for providing
additional and protected flows for
Snake River salmon runs protected

increased role for the Tribe in the
management of its water and other

Section 10(a)(5) of the Settlement Act

that the Secretary publish in the Federal

Agreement required: (1) Execution of all
documents that comprise the settlement
agreement; (2) Congressional approval
and authorization of all Federal
expenditures; (3) State legislative
approval and enactment of all required
State legislation; (4) Tribal approval; (5)
SRBA Court entry of judgment and
decree incorporating the agreement; and
(6) issuance of biological opinions
anticipated by the upper Snake

the Settlement Act and as required by
section IV.L of the Agreement, I find on
behalf of the Secretary as follows:
1. The parties executed all necessary
component documents that make up the
settlement agreement as required in
section IV.L of the Agreement.
2. As part of Public Law 108–447,
Congress approved the Agreement and
authorized all Federal expenditures
required by the Agreement.

Committee approved the Agreement for
the Tribe.
5. On January 30, 2007, the SRBA
Court issued a Consent Decree and Final
Partial Decrees, including springs and
fountains partial decrees, negotiated

Service and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
