    (b) How the Secretary accounts for diverted and stored water. The 
Secretary will account for water diverted and stored under Storage and 
Interstate Release Agreements in the records maintained under Article V 
of the Decree.
    (1) The Secretary will account for the water that is diverted and 
stored by a storing entity as a consumptive use in the Storing State for 
the year in which it is stored.
    (2) The Secretary will account for the diversion and consumptive use 
of ICUA by a consuming entity as a consumptive use in the Consuming 
State of unused apportionment under Article II(B)(6) of the Decree in 
the year the water is released in the same manner as any other unused 
apportionment taken by that State.
    (3) The Secretary will maintain individual balances of the 
quantities of water stored under a Storage and Interstate Release 
Agreement and available to support the development of ICUA. The 
appropriate balances will be reduced when ICUA is developed by the 
storing entity and released by the Secretary for use by a consuming 
entity.
