116TH CONGRESS REPORT
2d Session SENATE 116-309
TO AMEND THE AMERICA'S WATER INFRASTRUCTURE ACT OF 2018 TO EX-
PAND THE INDIAN RESERVATION DRINKING WATER PROGRAM, AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES
DECEMBER 9, 2020.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HOEVEN, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 3044]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill
(S. 3044), to amend the America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018
to expand the Indian reservation drinking water program, and for
other purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably
thereon with an amendment (in the nature of a substitute) and rec-
ommends that the bill (as amended) do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 3044 is to expand a program to carry-out
projects that connect, expand, or repair existing public water sys-
tems or improve water quality, water pressure, or water services
on reservations in the Upper Missouri River Basin and Upper Rio
Grande River Basin.
Section 2001 of the America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018
(P.L. 115-270), the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) was di-
rected, subject to the availability of appropriations, to carry out a
program to connect, expand, or repair an existing public water sys-
tem or improve water quality, water pressure, or water services,
split between projects that serve reservations in the Upper Mis-
souri River Basin and the Upper Rio Grande River Basin. Section
2001 provides that at least one qualifying pilot project for a res-
ervation must be selected that serves more than one federally rec-
ognized Indian tribe. The program was authorized for $20 million
in each fiscal years 2019 through 2022, but it has not received any
appropriations to date.
