Technical Correction to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation Water Rights Settlement Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill makes one technical correction to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation water-rights settlement. It amends section 10807(b)(3) of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 to authorize $5,124,902.12 for deposit into the Tribes' Development Fund as adjusted interest payments.
Who Benefits and How
The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation benefit because the Development Fund receives an additional $5,124,902.12 tied to interest that should support the water settlement. The Tribes' water infrastructure and settlement implementation efforts benefit from the corrected deposit authority.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Secretary of the Interior must deposit the funds once appropriated, and the U.S. Treasury and federal taxpayers bear the cost of the additional adjusted-interest payment. No private party receives a new compliance mandate; the burden is federal financing and administration.
Key Provisions
- Authorizes $5,124,902.12 for deposit into the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes' Development Fund.
- Amends the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 water-rights settlement provision.
