                    Section 385.39(c) of the Programmatic Regulations for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan sets forth the process for establishing the interim targets for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan. This section provides that the interim targets be developed by the Secretary of the Army and the governor of the State of Florida in consultation with the Department of the Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Commerce, the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and other Federal, State, and local agencies, and the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force. In considering the interim targets, the Secretary of the Army and the Governor of the State of Florida are required to consider the technical recommendations of RECOVER and any modifications to those recommendations by the Corps of Engineers or the South Florida Water Management District. The Programmatic Regulations require that the Secretary of the Army afford the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed Interim Targets Agreement prior to its approval and notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     when the agreement has been finalized.
