United States Senate


Bureau Of Indian Affairs' Participation

In A Proposed Hydroelectric Facility

At Kootenai Falls, Montana



In 1980 the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
agreed with a group of seven electric co-
operatives that it would pay up to a 10 5-
percent share of the costs to determine the
feasibility of, and obtain a construction and
operation license for, a proposed hydro-
electric generating facility at Kootenai Falls,
Montana

This report discusses how the BIA impro-
perly spent Flathead Indian Reservation
Irrigation and Power Project revenues and
did not report to congressional appropri-
ations committees its reprogramming of
irrigatlon and power system construction
funds to pay a portion of its share of
Kootenai Falls participation expenses Also,
the Flathead project's financial system was
not in compliance with two of the Comp-
troller General's internal control standards


The Department of the Interior has initiated
or plans actions to correct the problems
identified in this report
