DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

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 2011 is 4.125 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, 2010, through 

and including September 30, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brooke Miller-Levy, Water and 

Environmental Resources Division, 

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 

4.125 percent for fiscal year 2011. 

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 U.S. Department of the 

Treasury calculated the specified 

average to be 4.1620 percent. This 

average value is then rounded to the 

nearest one-eighth of a point, resulting 

in 4.125 percent. 

The rate of 4.125 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.

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. When contract negotiations are 

completed, and prior to execution, each 

proposed contract form must be 

approved by the Secretary of the 

Interior, or pursuant to delegated or 

redelegated authority, the Commissioner 

of Reclamation or one of the regional 

directors. In some instances, 

congressional review and approval of a 

report, water rate, or other terms and 

conditions of the contract may be 

involved. 

Public participation in and receipt of 

comments on contract proposals will be 

facilitated by adherence to the following 

procedures: 

1. Only persons authorized to act on 

behalf of the contracting entities may 

negotiate the terms and conditions of a 

specific contract proposal. 

2. Advance notice of meetings or 

hearings will be furnished to those 

parties that have made a timely written 

request for such notice to the

Freedom of Information Act, as 

amended.

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices.

appropriate regional director or his 

designated public contact as they 

become available for review and

7. In the event modifications are made 

in the form of a proposed contract, the 

appropriate regional director shall 

determine whether republication of the 

notice and/or extension of the comment 

period is necessary. 

Factors considered in making such a 

determination shall include, but are not 

limited to (i) the significance of the 

modification, and (ii) the degree of 

public interest which has been 

expressed over the course of the 

negotiations. At a minimum, the

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 332–288] 

Ethyl Alcohol for Fuel Use: 

Determination of the Base Quantity of 

Imports 

AGENCY: United States International 

Trade Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of determination. 

SUMMARY: Section 423(c) of the Tax 

Reform Act of 1986, as amended (19 

U.S.C. 2703 note), requires the United 

States International Trade Commission 

to determine annually the amount 

(expressed in gallons) that is equal to 7 

percent of the U.S. domestic market for 

fuel ethyl alcohol during the 12-month 

period ending on the preceding 

September 30. This determination is to 

be used to establish the ‘‘base quantity’’ 

of imports of fuel ethyl alcohol with a 

zero percent local feedstock requirement 

that can be imported from U.S. insular 

possessions or CBERA-beneficiary 

countries. The base quantity to be used 

by U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

in the administration of the law is the 

greater of 60 million gallons or 7 percent 

of U.S. consumption, as determined by 

the Commission. 

For the 12-month period ending 

September 30, 2010, the Commission 

has determined the level of U.S. 

consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol to be 

12.506 billion gallons; 7 percent of this 

amount is 875.4 million gallons (these 

figures have been rounded). Therefore, 

the base quantity for 2011 should be 

875.4 million gallons. The 

Commission’s determination is based on 

official data of the U.S. Department of 

Energy and the U.S. Department of 

Commerce.
