          Subtitle B--Prehistoric Trackways National Monument

SEC. 211. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1987, a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized 
        footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Mountains 
        in southern New Mexico;
            (2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous 
        amphibians, reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown 
        species), plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately 
        280,000,000 years, which collectively provide new opportunities 
        to understand animal behaviors and environments from a time 
        predating the dinosaurs;
            (3) title III of Public Law 101-578 (104 Stat. 2860)--
                    (A) provided interim protection for the site at 
                which the trackways were discovered; and
                    (B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to--
                            (i) prepare a study assessing the 
                        significance of the site; and
                            (ii) based on the study, provide 
                        recommendations for protection of the 
                        paleontological resources at the site;
            (4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleozoic 
        Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which characterized 
        the site as containing ``the most scientifically significant 
        Early Permian tracksites'' in the world;
            (5) despite the conclusion of the study and the 
        recommendations for protection, the site remains unprotected 
        and many irreplaceable trackways specimens have been lost to 
        vandalism or theft; and
            (6) designation of the trackways site as a National 
        Monument would protect the unique fossil resources for present 
        and future generations while allowing for public education and 
        continued scientific research opportunities.

                determination, as required by the Settlement, on 
                whether to expand channel conveyance capacity to 4500 
                cubic feet per second in reach 4B of the San Joaquin 
                River, or use an alternative route for pulse flows, 
                that--
                            (i) explains whether the Secretary has 
                        decided to expand Reach 4B capacity to 4500 
                        cubic feet per second; and
                            (ii) addresses the following matters:
                                    (I) The basis for the Secretary's 
                                determination, whether set out in 
                                environmental review documents or 
                                otherwise, as to whether the expansion 
                                of Reach 4B would be the preferable 
                                means to achieve the Restoration Goal 
                                as provided in the Settlement, 
                                including how different factors were 
                                assessed such as comparative biological 
                                and habitat benefits, comparative 
                                costs, relative availability of State 
                                cost-sharing funds, and the comparative 
                                benefits and impacts on water 
                                temperature, water supply, private 
                                property, and local and downstream 
                                flood control.
                                    (II) The Secretary's final cost 
                                estimate for expanding Reach 4B 
                                capacity to 4500 cubic feet per second, 
                                or any alternative route selected, as 
                                well as the alternative cost estimates 
                                provided by the State, by the 
                                Restoration Administrator, and by the 
                                other parties to the Settlement.
                                    (III) The Secretary's plan for 
                                funding the costs of expanding Reach 4B 
                                or any alternative route selected, 
                                whether by existing Federal funds 
                                provided under this subtitle, by non-
                                Federal funds, by future Federal 
                                appropriations, or some combination of 
                                such sources.
                    (B) Determination required.--The Secretary shall, 
                to the extent feasible, make the determination in 
                subparagraph (A) prior to undertaking any substantial 
                construction work to increase capacity in reach 4B.
            (3) Costs.--If the Secretary's estimated Federal cost for 
        expanding reach 4B in paragraph (2), in light of the 
        Secretary's funding plan set out in that paragraph, would 
        exceed the remaining Federal funding authorized by this part 
        (including all funds reallocated, all funds dedicated, and all 
        new funds authorized by this part and separate from all 
        commitments of State and other non-Federal funds and in-kind 
        commitments), then before the Secretary commences actual 
        construction work in reach 4B (other than planning, design, 
        feasibility, or other preliminary measures) to expand capacity 
        to 4500 cubic feet per second to implement this Settlement, 
        Congress must have increased the applicable authorization 
        ceiling provided by this part in an amount at least sufficient 
        to cover the higher estimated Federal costs.

        of said Act, under mutually agreeable terms and conditions.
            (3) All such contracts entered into pursuant to paragraph 
        (1) shall--
                    (A) require the repayment, either in lump sum or by 
                accelerated prepayment, of the remaining amount of 
                construction costs identified in the Central Valley 
                Project Schedule of Irrigation Capital Rates by 
                Contractor 2007 Irrigation Water Rates, dated January 
                25, 2007, as adjusted to reflect payments not reflected 
                in such schedule, and properly assignable for ultimate 
                return by the contractor, no later than January 31, 
                2011, or if made in approximately equal annual 
                installments, no later than January 31, 2014; such 
                amount to be discounted by \1/2\ the Treasury Rate. An 
                estimate of the remaining amount of construction costs 
                as of January 31, 2011, as adjusted, shall be provided 
                by the Secretary to each contractor no later than June 
                30, 2010;
                    (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection 
                (c)(2), construction costs or other capitalized costs 
                incurred after the effective date of the contract or 
                not reflected in the schedule referenced in 
                subparagraph (A), and properly assignable to such 
                contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 5 years 
                after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
                a result of a collective annual allocation of capital 
                costs to the contractors exercising contract 
                conversions under this subsection of less than 
                $5,000,000. If such amount is $5,000,000 or greater, 
                such cost shall be repaid as provided by applicable 
                Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
                amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any 
                other context;
                    (C) provide that power revenues will not be 
                available to aid in repayment of construction costs 
                allocated to irrigation under the contract; and
                    (D) conform to the Settlement and this part and 
                shall continue so long as the contractor pays 
                applicable charges, consistent with subsection (c)(2) 
                and applicable law.
            (4) All such contracts entered into pursuant to paragraph 
        (2) shall--
                    (A) require the repayment in lump sum of the 
                remaining amount of construction costs identified in 
                the most current version of the Central Valley Project 
                Schedule of Municipal and Industrial Water Rates, as 
                adjusted to reflect payments not reflected in such 
                schedule, and properly assignable for ultimate return 
                by the contractor, no later than January 31, 2014. An 
                estimate of the remaining amount of construction costs 
                as of January 31, 2014, as adjusted, shall be provided 
                by the Secretary to each contractor no later than June 
                30, 2013;
                    (B) require that, notwithstanding subsection 
                (c)(2), construction costs or other capitalized costs 
                incurred after the effective date of the contract or 
                not reflected in the schedule referenced in 
                subparagraph (A), and properly assignable to such 
                contractor, shall be repaid in not more than 5 years 
                after notification of the allocation if such amount is 
                a result of a collective annual allocation of capital 
                costs to the contractors exercising contract 
                conversions under this subsection of less than 
                $5,000,000. If such amount is $5,000,000 or greater, 
                such cost shall be repaid as provided by applicable 
                Reclamation law, provided that the reference to the 
                amount of $5,000,000 shall not be a precedent in any 
                other context; and
                    (C) conform to the Settlement and this part and 
                shall continue so long as the contractor pays 
                applicable charges, consistent with subsection (c)(2) 
                and applicable law.
    (b) Final Adjustment.--The amounts paid pursuant to subsection (a) 
shall be subject to adjustment following a final cost allocation by the 
Secretary upon completion of the construction of the Central Valley 
Project. In the event that the final cost allocation indicates that the 
costs properly assignable to the contractor are greater than what has 
been paid by the contractor, the contractor shall be obligated to pay 
the remaining allocated costs. The term of such additional repayment 
contract shall be no less than 1 year and no more than 10 years, 
however, mutually agreeable provisions regarding the rate of repayment 
of such amount may be developed by the parties. In the event that the 
final cost allocation indicates that the costs properly assignable to 
the contractor are less than what the contractor has paid, the 
Secretary is authorized and directed to credit such overpayment as an 
offset against any outstanding or future obligation of the contractor.
    (c) Applicability of Certain Provisions.--
            (1) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under 
        subsection (a)(3)(B) or subsection (b), upon a contractor's 
        compliance with and discharge of the obligation of repayment of 
        the construction costs as provided in subsection (a)(3)(A), the 
        provisions of section 213(a) and (b) of the Reclamation Reform 
        Act of 1982 (96 Stat. 1269) shall apply to lands in such 
        district.
            (2) Notwithstanding any repayment obligation under 
        paragraph (3)(B) or (4)(B) of subsection (a), or subsection 
        (b), upon a contractor's compliance with and discharge of the 
        obligation of repayment of the construction costs as provided 
        in paragraphs (3)(A) and (4)(A) of subsection (a), the 
        Secretary shall waive the pricing provisions of section 3405(d) 
        of the Reclamation Projects Authorization and Adjustment Act of 
        1992 (Public Law 102-575) for such contractor, provided that 
        such contractor shall continue to pay applicable operation and 
        maintenance costs and other charges applicable to such 
        repayment contracts pursuant to the then-current rate-setting 
        policy and applicable law.
            (3) Provisions of the Settlement applying to Friant 
        Division, Hidden Unit, and Buchanan Unit long-term water 
        service contracts shall also apply to contracts executed 
        pursuant to this section.
    (d) Reduction of Charge for Those Contracts Converted Pursuant to 
Subsection (a)(1).--
            (1) At the time all payments by the contractor required by 
        subsection (a)(3)(A) have been completed, the Secretary shall 
        reduce the charge mandated in section 1007(1) of this part, 
        from 2020 through 2039, to offset the financing costs as 
        defined in section 1010(d)(3). The reduction shall be 
        calculated at the time all payments by the contractor required 
        by subsection (a)(3)(A) have been completed. The calculation 
        shall remain fixed from 2020 through 2039 and shall be based 
        upon anticipated average annual water deliveries, as mutually 
        agreed upon by the Secretary and the contractor, for the period 
        from 2020 through 2039, and the amounts of such reductions 
        shall be discounted using the Treasury Rate; provided, that 
        such charge shall not be reduced to less than $4.00 per acre 
        foot of project water delivered; provided further, that such 
        reduction shall be implemented annually unless the Secretary 
        determines, based on the availability of other monies, that the 
        charges mandated in section 1007(1) are otherwise needed to 
        cover ongoing federal costs of the Settlement, including any 
        federal operation and maintenance costs of facilities that the 
        Secretary determines are needed to implement the Settlement. If 
        the Secretary determines that such charges are necessary to 
        cover such ongoing federal costs, the Secretary shall, instead 
        of making the reduction in such charges, reduce the 
        contractor's operation and maintenance obligation by an 
        equivalent amount, and such amount shall not be recovered by 
        the United States from any Central Valley Project contractor, 
        provided nothing herein shall affect the obligation of the 
        contractor to make payments pursuant to a transfer agreement 
        with a non-federal operating entity.
            (2) If the calculated reduction in paragraph (1), taking 
        into consideration the minimum amount required, does not result 
        in the contractor offsetting its financing costs, the Secretary 
        is authorized and directed to reduce, after 2019, any 
        outstanding or future obligations of the contractor to the 
        Bureau of Reclamation, other than the charge assessed and 
        collected under section 3407(d) of Public law 102-575, by the 
        amount of such deficiency, with such amount indexed to 2020 
        using the Treasury Rate and such amount shall be not be 
        recovered by the United States from any Central Valley Project 
        contractor, provided nothing herein shall affect the obligation 
        of the contractor to make payments pursuant to a transfer 
        agreement with a non-Federal operating entity.
            (3) Financing costs, for the purposes of this subsection, 
        shall be computed as the difference of the net present value of 
        the construction cost identified in subsection (a)(3)(A) using 
        the full Treasury Rate as compared to using one half of the 
        Treasury Rate and applying those rates against a calculated 
        average annual capital repayment through 2030.
            (4) Effective in 2040, the charge shall revert to the 
        amount called for in section 1007(1) of this part.
            (5) For purposes of this section, ``Treasury Rate'' shall 
        be defined as the 20 year Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rate 
        published by the United States Department of the Treasury as of 
        October 1, 2010.
    (e) Satisfaction of Certain Provisions.--
            (1) In general.--Upon the first release of Interim Flows or 
        Restoration Flows, pursuant to paragraphs 13 or 15 of the 
        Settlement, any short- or long-term agreement, to which 1 or 
        more long-term Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or Buchanan Unit 
        contractor that converts its contract pursuant to subsection 
        (a) is a party, providing for the transfer or exchange of water 
        not released as Interim Flows or Restoration Flows shall be 
        deemed to satisfy the provisions of subsection 3405(a)(1)(A) 
        and (I) of the Reclamation Projects Authorization and 
        Adjustment Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-575) without the further 
        concurrence of the Secretary as to compliance with said 
        subsections if the contractor provides, not later than 90 days 
        before commencement of any such transfer or exchange for a 
        period in excess of 1 year, and not later than 30 days before 
        commencement of any proposed transfer or exchange with duration 
        of less than 1 year, written notice to the Secretary stating 
        how the proposed transfer or exchange is intended to reduce, 
        avoid, or mitigate impacts to water deliveries caused by the 
        Interim Flows or Restoration Flows or is intended to otherwise 
        facilitate the Water Management Goal, as described in the 
        Settlement. The Secretary shall promptly make such notice 
        publicly available.
            (2) Determination of reductions to water deliveries.--Water 
        transferred or exchanged under an agreement that meets the 
        terms of this subsection shall not be counted as a replacement 
        or an offset for purposes of determining reductions to water 
        deliveries to any Friant Division long-term contractor except 
        as provided in paragraph 16(b) of the Settlement. The Secretary 
        shall, at least annually, make publicly available a compilation 
        of the number of transfer or exchange agreements exercising the 
        provisions of this subsection to reduce, avoid, or mitigate 
        impacts to water deliveries caused by the Interim Flows or 
        Restoration Flows or to facilitate the Water Management Goal, 
        as well as the volume of water transferred or exchanged under 
        such agreements.
            (3) State law.--Nothing in this subsection alters State law 
        or permit conditions, including any applicable geographical 
        restrictions on the place of use of water transferred or 
        exchanged pursuant to this subsection.
    (f) Certain Repayment Obligations Not Altered.--Implementation of 
the provisions of this section shall not alter the repayment obligation 
of any other long-term water service or repayment contractor receiving 
water from the Central Valley Project, or shift any costs that would 
otherwise have been properly assignable to the Friant contractors 
absent this section, including operations and maintenance costs, 
construction costs, or other capitalized costs incurred after the date 
of enactment of this Act, to other such contractors.
    (g) Statutory Interpretation.--Nothing in this part shall be 
construed to affect the right of any Friant Division, Hidden Unit, or 
Buchanan Unit long-term contractor to use a particular type of 
financing to make the payments required in paragraph (3)(A) or (4)(A) 
of subsection (a).

SEC. 1011. CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY SPRING RUN CHINOOK SALMON.

    (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the implementation of the 
Settlement to resolve 18 years of contentious litigation regarding 
restoration of the San Joaquin River and the reintroduction of the 
California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon is a unique and 
unprecedented circumstance that requires clear expressions of 
Congressional intent regarding how the provisions of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) are utilized to achieve 
the goals of restoration of the San Joaquin River and the successful 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (b) Reintroduction in the San Joaquin River.--California Central 
Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon shall be reintroduced in the San 
Joaquin River below Friant Dam pursuant to section 10(j) of the 
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(j)) and the Settlement, 
provided that the Secretary of Commerce finds that a permit for the 
reintroduction of California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon 
may be issued pursuant to section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1539(a)(1)(A)).
    (c) Final Rule.--
            (1) Definition of third party.--For the purpose of this 
        subsection, the term ``third party'' means persons or entities 
        diverting or receiving water pursuant to applicable State and 
        Federal laws and shall include Central Valley Project 
        contractors outside of the Friant Division of the Central 
        Valley Project and the State Water Project.
            (2) Issuance.--The Secretary of Commerce shall issue a 
        final rule pursuant to section 4(d) of the Endangered Species 
        Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(d)) governing the incidental take 
        of reintroduced California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook 
        salmon prior to the reintroduction.
            (3) Required components.--The rule issued under paragraph 
        (2) shall provide that the reintroduction will not impose more 
        than de minimus: water supply reductions, additional storage 
        releases, or bypass flows on unwilling third parties due to 
        such reintroduction.
            (4) Applicable law.--Nothing in this section--
                    (A) diminishes the statutory or regulatory 
                protections provided in the Endangered Species Act of 
                1973 for any species listed pursuant to section 4 of 
                the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533) 
                other than the reintroduced population of California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon, including 
                protections pursuant to existing biological opinions or 
                new biological opinions issued by the Secretary or 
                Secretary of Commerce; or
                    (B) precludes the Secretary or Secretary of 
                Commerce from imposing protections under the Endangered 
                Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for other 
                species listed pursuant to section 4 of that Act (16 
                U.S.C. 1533) because those protections provide 
                incidental benefits to such reintroduced California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (d) Report.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than December 31, 2024, the 
        Secretary of Commerce shall report to Congress on the progress 
        made on the reintroduction set forth in this section and the 
        Secretary's plans for future implementation of this section.
            (2) Inclusions.--The report under paragraph (1) shall 
        include--
                    (A) an assessment of the major challenges, if any, 
                to successful reintroduction;
                    (B) an evaluation of the effect, if any, of the 
                reintroduction on the existing population of California 
                Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon existing on 
                the Sacramento River or its tributaries; and
                    (C) an assessment regarding the future of the 
                reintroduction.
    (e) FERC Projects.--
            (1) In general.--With regard to California Central Valley 
        Spring Run Chinook salmon reintroduced pursuant to the 
        Settlement, the Secretary of Commerce shall exercise its 
        authority under section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
        811) by reserving its right to file prescriptions in 
        proceedings for projects licensed by the Federal Energy 
        Regulatory Commission on the Calaveras, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, 
        Merced, and San Joaquin rivers and otherwise consistent with 
        subsection (c) until after the expiration of the term of the 
        Settlement, December 31, 2025, or the expiration of the 
        designation made pursuant to subsection (b), whichever ends 
        first.
            (2) Effect of subsection.--Nothing in this subsection shall 
        preclude the Secretary of Commerce from imposing prescriptions 
        pursuant to section 18 of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 811) 
        solely for other anadromous fish species because those 
        prescriptions provide incidental benefits to such reintroduced 
        California Central Valley Spring Run Chinook salmon.
    (f) Effect of Section.--Nothing in this section is intended or 
shall be construed--
            (1) to modify the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et 
        seq.); or
            (2) to establish a precedent with respect to any other 
        application of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.) or the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et 
        seq.).

                on an annual basis.
    (c) Guidelines.--Within 1 year from the date of enactment of this 
part, the Secretary shall develop, in consultation with the Friant 
Division long-term contractors, proposed guidelines for the application 
of the criteria defined in subsection (b), and will make the proposed 
guidelines available for public comment. Such guidelines may consider 
prioritizing the distribution of available funds to projects that 
provide the broadest benefit within the affected area and the equitable 
allocation of funds. Upon adoption of such guidelines, the Secretary 
shall implement such assistance program, subject to the availability of 
funds appropriated for such purpose.
    (d) Cost Sharing.--The Federal financial assistance provided to 
local agencies under subsection (a) shall not exceed--
            (1) 50 percent of the costs associated with planning, 
        design, and environmental compliance activities associated with 
        such a project; and
            (2) 50 percent of the costs associated with construction of 
        any such project.

            (1) water may be diverted by the Project from the San Juan 
        River in the State of New Mexico for use within New Mexico in

        generated by, and through, that section of the Project can be 
        made to a Project participant.
