Snow Survey Northeast Expansion Act of 2023
This bill expands the Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) existing snow survey and water supply forecasting program to cover the Northeastern United States. It specifically defines the Northeast as Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and any additional states designated by the Secretary of Agriculture. The key provision requires the Secretary of Agriculture to extend this program's services to the newly defined northeastern region. This affects water resource management in those states, providing improved snowpack and water supply data for communities and agencies. The bill does not create new funding or alter existing program operations, only broadening its geographic scope.
