Eligible applicants are not open to the general public; they are targeted to entities with water delivery or water management authority and a defined relationship to the relevant Reclamation projects. The announcement identifies irrigation and water districts, tribal water authorities, and state governmental entities that have water management authority (such as state agencies, departments, or boards). It also includes other organizations that have water delivery authority, as long as they can document a clear relationship to one or more of the Reclamation projects within the Snake River Area Office boundary. The notice also specifies that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources as part of the project financing and should plan to document and justify that match in their application materials.
