About this program
The Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation funds the rehabilitation and upgrade of water diversion and delivery infrastructure for the Crow Irrigation Project (CIP) and planning, design, and construction of a new municipal, rural, and industrial water system serving the Crow Tribe and its members under Assistance Listing 15.556, with settlement funds required to be fully expended by June 2030.
The program operates under a water rights settlement agreement between the U.S. government, the state of Montana, and the Crow Tribe. Funding has been authorized since Fiscal Year 2011 and remains available until all appropriated mandatory and discretionary funds are exhausted; additional discretionary funding is subject to Congressional appropriation. The Crow Tribe and Bureau of Reclamation negotiate annually and as needed the respective scopes of work and budgets for construction-related functions, with the Tribe and Reclamation's Missouri Basin Region executing the negotiated agreements. All proposed scopes of work must address the authorizing legislation, the final engineering report, and the appropriation ceiling. Work must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act, and final engineering reports are under development.
This is a project-specific settlement program rather than a competitive grant program. The Crow Tribe of Montana is the sole recipient. Preapplication coordination is required. Environmental impact information is not required for program participation. Recipients must maintain project records in accordance with 25 USC 5305 and 25 CFR Part 900, retaining financial records, supporting documents, and statistical records for three years from the date of single audit report submission.
The source provides no information on recent grant award activity, award magnitudes, assistance-type distribution, or currently open grant opportunities. This program operates through direct negotiation and cooperative agreement rather than through competitive solicitation.
