Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Reclamation, shall establish a working group to advance the science to support forecast-informed reservoir operations in the Upper Missouri River Basin. The working group established under paragraph
(1)shall be composed of— the Secretary; the Commissioner of Reclamation; the Director of the United States Geological Survey; the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and representatives of affected State and local agencies. The working group established under paragraph
(1)shall develop recommendations to implement the use of forecast-informed reservoir operations in the Upper Missouri River Basin and submit to Congress a report on the findings and recommendations of the working group. On request of a non-Federal interest, the Secretary, the Commissioner of Reclamation, and the non-Federal interest shall jointly conduct a viability assessment on the use of forecast-informed reservoir operations at a reservoir— that is located within the Upper Missouri River Basin; and for which the Secretary has flood control responsibilities under section 7 of the Act of December 22, 1944 (commonly known as the Flood Control Act of 1944 ) (58 Stat. 890, chapter 665; 33 U.S.C. 709 ). To the maximum extent practicable, a viability assessment under paragraph
(1)shall be completed by not later than 1 year after the date on which the viability assessment begins. The Federal share of the cost of a viability assessment under paragraph
(1)shall be 100 percent. If a viability assessment conducted under subsection (b)(1) indicates that forecast-informed reservoir operations are viable at a reservoir described in that subsection, the Secretary and the Commissioner of Reclamation shall develop and implement a pilot program to carry out forecast-informed reservoir operations at that reservoir.
