    This part sets forth Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) 
policy and procedure for the administration of a cooperative snow survey 
and water supply forecast program. The program provides agricultural 
water users and other water management groups in the western states area 
with water supply forecasts to enable them to plan for efficient water 
management. The program also provides the public and the scientific 
community with a data base that can be used to accurately determine the 
extent of the now resource. The western states area comprises Alaska, 
Arizona, California (east side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range 
only), Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, 
Washington, and Wyoming.
