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 13 entities listed below developed a Plan that Reclamation 
evaluated and preliminarily determined meets the requirements of the 
Criteria. The following Plans are available for review:

 City of Fairfield
 City of Vacaville
 City of Vallejo
 City of West Sacramento
 Feather Water District
 Maine Prairie Water District
 Montectio Water District
 Orland-Artois Water District
 Sacramento County Water Agency
 Sacramento Municipal Utility District
 Solano Irrigation District
 Stockton East Water District
 Suisun-Solano Water Authority

    We invite the public to comment on our preliminary (i.e., draft) 
determination of Plan adequacy.
    A copy of these Plans will be available for review at Reclamation's 
California Great Basin Regional Office, 2800 Cottage Way, CGB-410,
