Bill Summary
A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to submit to Congress a report on the efforts of the Bureau of Reclamation to manage its infrastructure assets. This bill directs the Department of the Interior to publish, and update every two years, an Asset Management Report. The report must describe the Bureau of Reclamation's efforts to (1) maintain in a reliable manner its reserved works (e.g., buildings, structures, facilities, or equipment); and (2) standardize and streamline data reporting and processes across regions and areas for the purpose of maintaining reserved works. The report must include (1) an assessment of major repair and rehabilitation needs for reserved works, and (2) an itemized and prioritized list of major repair and rehabilitation needs of individual facilities. Interior must coordinate with the nonfederal entities responsible for the operation and maintenance of Reclamation facilities, known as transferred works, in developing reporting requirements for their major repair and rehabilitation needs.
AI Summary
This bill, the Bureau of Reclamation Transparency Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior to submit to Congress a report on the Bureau of Reclamation's efforts to manage its infrastructure assets. The report must describe the Bureau's efforts to maintain its "reserved works" (buildings, structures, facilities, or equipment owned by the Bureau) in a reliable manner and to standardize and streamline data reporting and processes across regions. The report must also include a detailed assessment of major repair and rehabilitation needs for all reserved works, as well as an itemized list of such needs for individual facilities, to the extent practicable. The Secretary must update this report every two years and coordinate with the non-federal entities responsible for "transferred works" (Reclamation facilities operated and maintained by non-federal entities) in developing similar reporting requirements for their major repair and rehabilitation needs.
