Summary
Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Indian Tribe Water Rights Settlement Act of 1990 - Establishes the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribal Settlement Fund in the Treasury and authorizes appropriations for it. Provides that the interest from such fund shall be used for: (1) tribal economic development; (2) tribal governmental services and facilities; (3) per capita distributions to tribal members; (4) rehabilitation and betterment of the irrigation system on the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Indian Reservation, except on certain lands; (5) acquisition of lands, water rights, or related property interests located outside the Reservation; and (6) acquisition of individually owned land, water rights, or related property interests on the Reservation (including those held in trust by the United States). Directs the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe (the Tribe) to develop and submit a plan to the Secretary of the Treasury describing the expenditure of the funds, including a project for the rehabilitation and betterment of the existing irrigation system on the Reservation. Prohibits any disbursements to the Tribe if it does not adopt the plan. Requires that all lands, water rights, and related property interests acquired by this Act within certain counties in Nevada be held in trust by the United States for the Tribe as part of the Reservation. Allocates an annual specified total use of water rights appurtenant to the Reservation which are served by the Newlands Reclamation Project. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) reimburse non-Federal entities for cost for delivery of the Project water to serve water rights added to the Reservation under this Act; and (2) enter into renewable contracts for the payments of such costs. Confirms the jurisdiction of the Tribe over the use and transfer of such water rights within its Reservation. Authorizes the Tribe, for certain defined purposes, to acquire any lands, water rights, or interests therein (including those held in trust, located within the Reservation). Requires the United States to hold the title in trust for the Tribe to any lands, water rights, or interests therein, acquired by the Tribe within certain Nevada counties. Prohibits the Secretaries from disbursing any monies from the Fund unless specified conditions are met, including release of specified claims against the United States. Permits the Tribe to rescind its release of claims under this Act if the Congress fails to appropriate funds.
