111-11) (Settlement Act). Congress enacted the Settlement Act as Title 
X, Subtitle C of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Settlement Act was enacted to resolve 
the water right claims of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes (Tribes) of the 
Duck Valley Reservation relative to the upstream water users in the 
East Fork of the Owyhee River in the State of Nevada (State). The non-
federal settling parties submitted a signed Settlement Agreement 
(Agreement) to Congress prior to enactment of the Settlement Act. As 
described in section 10802, the purposes of the Settlement Act are:
    (1) To resolve outstanding issues with respect to the East Fork of 
the Owyhee River in the State in such a manner as to provide important 
benefits to--(A) The United States; (B) the State; (C) the Tribes; and 
(D) the upstream water users;
    (2) to achieve a fair, equitable, and final settlement of all 
claims of the Tribes, members of the Tribes, and the United States on 
behalf of the Tribes and members of Tribes to the waters of the East 
Fork of the Owyhee River in the State;
    (3) to ratify and provide for the enforcement of the Agreement 
among the parties to the litigation;
    (4) to resolve the Tribes' water-related claims for damages against 
the United States;
    (5) to require the Secretary to perform all obligations of the 
Secretary under the Agreement and the Settlement Act; and
    (6) to authorize the actions and appropriations necessary to meet 
the obligations of the United States under the Agreement and the 
Settlement Act.

Statement of Findings

    In accordance with section 10808(d) of the Settlement Act, I find 
as follows:

forth in sections 10808(a) and (b) of the Settlement Act have been 
executed by the parties and the Secretary;
