The WaterSMART Access for Tribes Act (H.R. 4356) aims to increase Tribal access to water conservation and efficiency grants. The bill amends the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, specifically Section 9504(a)(3)(E)(i), to allow the Secretary to reduce or waive the non-Federal share of the cost of infrastructure improvements or activities for grants or agreements with Indian tribes if contributing the non-Federal share would cause financial hardship for the tribe.
