Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-320) (Act) to receive reports and advise
Federal agencies on implementing the Act.
Purpose of the Meeting: The purpose of the meeting is to discuss

activities to control salinity in the Colorado River Basin.
Agenda: Council members will be briefed on the status of salinity
control activities. Discussions about salinity control research studies
will occur. The Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Land Management, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, and United States Geological Survey of the
Department of the Interior; the Natural Resources Conservation Service
of the Department of Agriculture; and the Environmental Protection
Agency will each present a progress report and a schedule of activities
on salinity control in the Colorado River Basin. The Council will
discuss salinity control activities, the contents of the reports, and
the Basin States Program created by Public Law 110-246, which amended
the Act. A final agenda will be posted online at <a href="https://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/salinity/">https://www.usbr.gov/uc/progact/salinity/</a> at least one week prior to the meeting. This
notice is published less than seven days in advance of the meeting as
agenda items require the Council's immediate consideration to support
Federal program deadlines, interagency coordination needs, and time-
sensitive decision processes essential to program implementation. Delay
in convening the Council would impede the ability to meet program
timelines, address pending recommendations, and ensure continuity in
federally mandated planning and review processes in support of public
interests.
Meeting Accessibility/Special Accommodations: The meeting is open
to the public. Please make requests in advance for sign language
interpreter services, assistive listening devices, or other reasonable
accommodations. We ask that you contact Ms. Kathleen Callister (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice) at least seven (7)
business days prior to the meeting to give the Department of the
Interior sufficient time to process your request. All reasonable
accommodation requests are managed on a case-by-case basis.
Individuals wanting virtual access to the meeting or those
requiring special accommodations should contact Kathleen Callister (see
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) no later than seven (7) days prior to
the meeting, to receive instructions.
Public Comments: The Council chairman will provide time for oral
comments from members of the public at the meeting. Individuals wanting
to make an oral comment should contact Ms. Kathleen Callister (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) to be placed on the public comment list.
Members of the public may also file written statements with the Council
before, during, or up to 30 days after the meeting either in person or
by mail. Written comments provided to Kathleen Callister (see FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) by May 8, 2026, will be considered during
the Council meeting.

information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire
comment--including your personal identifying information--may be made
publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to
