Bureau of Reclamation 

Change in Discount Rate for Water 

Resources Planning 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of change. 

SUMMARY: The Water Resources 

Planning Act of 1965 and the Water 

Resources Development Act of 1974 

require an annual determination of a 

discount rate for Federal water 

resources planning. The discount rate 

for Federal water resources planning for 

fiscal year 2010 is 4.375 percent. 

Discounting is to be used to convert 

future monetary values to present 

values. 

DATES: This discount rate is to be used 

for the period October 1, 2009 through 

and including September 30, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brooke Miller-Levy, Water and 

Environmental Resources Office, 

Denver, Colorado 80225; telephone: 

303–445–2889. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the interest rate to be 

used by Federal agencies in the 

formulation and evaluation of plans for 

water and related land resources is 

4.375 percent for fiscal year 2010. 

This rate has been computed in 

accordance with Section 80(a), Public 

Law 93–251 (88 Stat. 34) and 18 CFR 

704.39, which: (1) Specify that the rate 

will be based upon the average yield 

during the preceding fiscal year on 

interest-bearing marketable securities of 

the United States which, at the time the 

computation is made, have terms of 15 

years or more remaining to maturity 

(average yield is rounded to nearest oneeighth percent); and (2) provide that the 

rate will not be raised or lowered more 

than one-quarter of 1 percent for any 

year. The Treasury Department 

calculated the specified average to be 

3.9910 percent. This average value is 

then rounded to the nearest one-eighth 

of a point, resulting in 4.0 percent. This 

exceeds the permissible one-quarter of 1 

percent change from fiscal year 2009 to 

2010. Therefore, the change is limited to 

a one-quarter percent decrease. 

The rate of 4.375 percent will be used 

by all Federal agencies in the 

formulation and evaluation of water and 

related land resources plans for the 

purpose of discounting future benefits 

and computing costs or otherwise 

converting benefits and costs to a 

common-time basis.

Director, Policy and Administration, Denver 

Office.
