Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the proposed legislation that would authorize the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) to finance three rural water projects, focusing on: (1) the criteria for participation in specified programs of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and BOR for funding rural water projects; (2) how the characteristics of the individual projects align with the criteria of the identified programs; and (3) the views of officials of the three agencies as to the appropriateness of their being tasked with these projects.
