determination of Plan adequacy. Section 3405(e) of the Central Valley 
Project Improvement Act (Title 34 Pub. L. 102-575), requires the 
Secretary of the Interior to establish and administer an office on 
Central Valley Project water conservation best management practices 
that shall ``develop criteria for evaluating the adequacy of all water 
conservation plans developed by project contractors, including those 
plans required by Section 210 of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982.'' 
Also, according to Section 3405(e)(1), these criteria must be developed 
``with the purpose of promoting the highest level of water use 
efficiency reasonably achievable by project contractors using best 
available cost-effective technology and best management practices.'' 
These criteria state that all parties (Contractors) that contract with 
Reclamation for water supplies (municipal and industrial contracts over 
2,000 acre-feet and agricultural contracts over 2,000 irrigable acres) 
must prepare a Plan that contains the following information:
    1. Description of the District;
    2. Inventory of Water Resources;
    3. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Agricultural Contractors;
    4. BMPs for Urban Contractors;
    5. Plan Implementation;
    6. Exemption Process;
    7. Regional Criteria; and
    8. Five-Year Revisions.
    Reclamation evaluates Plans based on these criteria. A copy of 
these Plans will be available for review at Reclamation's Mid-Pacific 
Regional Office, 2800 Cottage Way, MP-410, Sacramento, California 
95825. Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review. If you wish to 
review a copy of these Plans, please contact Ms. Anderson.

Public Disclosure

    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
