STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY 
H.R. 4394 — Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2024 
(Rep. Granger, R-TX)

Excerpt

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation

Shasta Reservoir Enlargement Project. The Administration is concerned that language 
within the Water and Related Resources account directs funding for Water Infrastructure 
Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act water storage projects be made available to the 
Shasta Dam and Reservoir Enlargement Project. This redirection would reduce resources 
for other projects that are already planned.

California Water Title. The Administration objects to Title V of the bill, which would 
restrict the Bureau of Reclamation's flexibility to most appropriately allocate Central 
Valley Project (CVP) water supplies by prioritizing irrigation, deem the Shasta Reservoir 
Enlargement Project be eligible for Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and WIIN Act 
funding, and would impair Reclamation's ability to protect the fish, wildlife, and habitat 
affected by CVP operations.
