SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3405(e) of the Central Valley 
Project Improvement Act (Title 34 Pub. L. 102-575), requires the 
Secretary of the Interior to, amongst other things, ``develop criteria 
for evaluating the adequacy of all water conservation plans'' developed 
by certain contractors. According to Section 3405(e)(1), these criteria 
must promote, ``the highest level of water use efficiency reasonably 
achievable by project contractors using best available cost-effective 
technology and best management practices.'' In accordance with this 
legislative mandate, the Bureau of Reclamation developed and published 
the Criteria for Evaluating Water Management Plans (Criteria). Each of 
the 4 entities listed below developed a Plan that Reclamation evaluated
