To provide for a memorandum of understanding to address the impacts of a certain record of decision on the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund.

HR 9969 requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Energy to create a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Work Group. This MOU must address how a recent environmental decision (the 2024 Glen Canyon Dam Record of Decision) could impact the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund, which finances dam operations and infrastructure. The plan must specifically examine effects on routine fund obligations, hydropower production costs at Glen Canyon Dam, and potential impacts on endangered species. The bill focuses on establishing a process for coordination, not implementing new policies.
