Bureau of Indian Affairs
Notice of rate adjustments.
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs
(BIA) owns, or has an interest in,
irrigation projects located on or
associated with various Indian
reservations throughout the United
States. We are required to establish
irrigation assessment rates to recover the
costs to administer, operate, maintain,
and rehabilitate these projects. We are
notifying you that we have adjusted the
irrigation assessment rates at several of
our irrigation projects and facilities to
reflect current costs of administration,
operation, maintenance, and
rehabilitation.
DATES: Effective Date: The irrigation
assessment rates shown in the tables as
final are effective as of January 1, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
details about a particular BIA irrigation
project or facility, please use the tables
in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section to contact the regional or local
office where the project or facility is
located.
A Notice
of Proposed Rate Adjustment was
published in the Federal Register on
October 30, 2008 (73 FR 64629) to
propose adjustments to the irrigation
assessment rates at several BIA
irrigation projects. The public and
interested parties were provided an
opportunity to submit written
comments during the 60-day period that
ended December 29, 2008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Did the BIA defer or change any
proposed rate increases?
Yes. At the Fort Belknap, Fort Peck,
and Uintah Irrigation Projects, the
project operations and maintenance
(O&M) has been contracted by the water
users and/or tribes. Based on the budget
submitted by the water users at Fort
Belknap, the rate was only raised to
$14.75 instead of $20.00 per acre. Based
on the budget submitted by the water
users at Fort Peck, the rate was only
raised to $24.00 instead of $25.75 per
acre. Based on the budget submitted by
the water users at Uintah, the rate is
raised to $15.00 instead of the
previously proposed $13.70 per acre.

Did the BIA receive any comments on
the proposed irrigation assessment rate
adjustments?
Written comments were received
related to the proposed rate adjustments
for the San Carlos Irrigation Project—
Joint Works, the Wapato Irrigation
Project, and the Wind River Irrigation
Project.
What issues were of concern to the
commenters?
Individuals and entities commenting
on the proposed rates raised concerns
about one or more of the following
issues: (1) How funds are expended for
O&M costs; (2) the BIA’s trust
responsibility for projects; (3) the BIA’s
responsibility to enhance idle land
tracts to make them productive; (4) the
efficiencies of contracting with water
users groups to perform O&M to save
costs; and (5) how rate increases impact
the local agricultural economy and
individual land owners.
Commenters raised concerns specific
to the Wind River Irrigation Project
(WRIP), asserting that: (1) The BIA is
responsible for delivery of the full
amount of water quantified in the Big
Horn Decree; (2) the WRIP should not be
considered self-supporting for irrigation
O&M funding and requires Federal
assistance; and (3) the Eastern Shoshone
and Northern Arapaho Tribes and their
members should not be subsidizing nonIndian lessee water users.
A commenter raised concerns specific
to the San Carlos Irrigation Project—
Joint Works, asserting that: (1) The
number of BIA personnel required to
operate and maintain the project is too
high; (2) the BIA should maintain the
project wells; (3) anticipated project
expenses for FY 2010 will be higher;
and (4) the BIA is budgeting too much
for emergency reserves.
The Yakama Nation raised concerns
specific to the Wapato Irrigation Project,
stating that the Yakama Nation does not
believe that the BIA has authority to
charge the Yakama Nation and its
members irrigation O&M charges as
provided in this notice.
How does the BIA respond to concerns
regarding how funds are expended for
O&M costs?
The BIA considers the following
expenses when determining an
irrigation project’s budget: Project
personnel costs; materials and supplies;
vehicle and equipment repairs;
equipment; capitalization expenses;
acquisition expenses; rehabilitation
costs; maintenance of a reserve fund for
contingencies or emergencies; and other
expenses that we determine are
