R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 843]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 843), to amend the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act to authorize the use of funds for certain additional
Carey Act projects, and for other purposes, having considered the
same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 843 is to amend the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act to authorize the use of funds for certain additional
Carey Act projects.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Investments in water infrastructure are needed to address the
growing challenges across the West. Congress addressed this need
by investing $8.3 billion in the Bureau of Reclamation and western
water infrastructure, as passed in the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act (IIJA; Public Law 117-58). The IIJA created several
new grant programs and funding opportunities to address the di-
verse water infrastructure needs in the West.
The IIJA made a significant investment in the Bureau of Rec-
lamation's aging infrastructure and included a $100 million set-
aside (IIJA section 40904(b)) to provide funding for the rehabilita-
tion, reconstruction, and replacement of dams developed pursuant
to the Carey Act (43 U.S.C. 641). S. 843, as ordered reported, clari-
fies eligibility to make funds available to additional Carey Act
