DELAWARE RIVER BASIN 

COMMISSION 

Interim Action Concerning Operation 

of the New York City Delaware Basin 

Reservoirs Pending Rulemaking To 

Implement a Flexible Flow 

Management Program 

AGENCY: Delaware River Basin 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Delaware River Basin 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or DRBC) 

will hold a public hearing to receive 

comments on an interim New York City 

Delaware River Basin reservoir 

operations plan. An interim operations 

plan is proposed to be implemented 

pending unanimous agreement on a 

revised Flexible Flow Management 

Program (FFMP) proposal by the Parties 

to the U.S. Supreme Court Decree of 

1954—the states of Delaware, New 

Jersey, and New York, the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the 

City of New York—and completion by 

the Commission of a rulemaking process 

on such FFMP proposal. 

DATES: The public hearing will take 

place on Wednesday, September 26, 

2007 during the Commission’s regular 

business meeting, beginning at 1:30 p.m. 

Written comments will be accepted 

through the close of the public hearing; 

however, earlier submittals would be 

appreciated. Persons wishing to testify 

are asked to register in advance with the 

Commission Secretary at (609) 883–

9500 ext. 203. All written comments 

submitted to the Commission during the 

prior comment period, or presented 

orally or in writing at its prior 

scheduled hearings on the form of the 

FFMP that was posted on the 

Commission’s Web site in February 

2007 will be included in the 

administrative record for this action and 

need not be resubmitted. 

ADDRESSES: The public hearing will take 

place at the Commission’s office 

building, located at 25 State Police 

Drive, West Trenton, New Jersey. 

Directions are available on the 

Commission’s Web site, http:// 

www.drbc.net. Please do not rely upon 

MapQuest or other Internet mapping 

services for driving directions, as they 

may not provide accurate directions to 

the DRBC. Written comments may be 

submitted by e-mail to 

paula.schmitt@drbc.state.nj.us; by U.S. 

Mail to Commission Secretary, DRBC, 

P.O. Box 7360, West Trenton, NJ 08628–

0360; or by fax to 609–883–9522. In all 

cases, the commenter’s name, affiliation, 

and address should be provided in the 

comment document, and ‘‘FFMP’’

should appear in the subject line. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information, please contact 

Pamela M. Bush, Commission Secretary 

and Assistant General Counsel, DRBC, 

at 609–883–9500 ext. 203. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Decree Parties have considered the 

broad range of public comments 

received on an initial FFMP proposal 

published in February 2007. With the 

administrative support of the DRBC staff 

and the Delaware River Master, the 

Parties continue to work towards a 

consensus proposal that incorporates 

changes made in response to those 

comments. The Parties’ efforts are now 

focused on completing negotiations by 

early September 2007. In order to be 

implemented by the DRBC, the relevant 

portions of any revised FFMP proposal 

developed by the Parties must be 

promulgated as a rule or adjudicated in 

a docket by incorporating them into (a) 

Amendments to the DRBC’s Water Code; 

(b) one or more DRBC dockets (similar 

to permits) or docket revisions; or (c) a 

combination of Water Code 

amendments and dockets. The DRBC’s 

Comprehensive Plan may also require 

revision. 

Insufficient time remains to complete 

a full notice and comment rulemaking 

process before the Commission’s next 

public meeting and hearing on 

September 26, 2007. Thus, if the Parties 

reach consensus on a revised FFMP on 

or before September 26, the Commission 

will consider approving an interim New 

York City Delaware River Basin 

reservoir operations plan on September 

26 to be implemented pending 

completion of a rulemaking process on 

the revised FFMP. Such interim action 

could consist of (1) Extending the 

current fisheries management program 

(Revision 7 of Docket D–77–20 CP); (2) 

reinstating a previous flow regime; or (3) 

implementing in whole or in part the 

consensus FFMP as proposed on an 

interim basis. 

If the Commission acts to extend the 

current fisheries management program 

or to reinstate a previous flow regime, 

such program will be considered in 

combination with a spill mitigation 

program such as Revision 9 of Docket 

D–77–20 CP, which is currently in 

effect, and a program designed to 

ameliorate the potential effects on the 

tailwaters fishery of the Lake 

Wallenpaupack drought operating plan 

adopted by Resolution No. 2002–33. 

Any interim operations program that the 

Commission selects would be 

implemented simultaneously with a full 

notice and comment rulemaking process 

on rules to implement any FFMP 

proposal unanimously consented to by 

the Decree Parties. An interim program 

approved by the Commission and the 

Decree Parties would continue in effect 

until any expiration date contained in 

the program adopted or unless and until 

replaced by another program that has 

been approved by the Commission and 

the Decree Parties following notice and 

a public hearing. 

In the event consensus is not reached 

on the FFMP on or before the 

Commission’s meeting on September 26, 

the Commission will consider options 1 

and 2 above. In accordance with section 

3.3 of the Delaware River Basin 

Compact, 75 Statutes at Large 688, any 

program of the Commission that affects 

the diversions, compensating releases, 

rights, conditions, and obligations of the 

1954 Supreme Court Decree in the 

matter of New Jersey v. New York, 347 

U.S. 995, 74 S. Ct. 842 also requires the 

unanimous consent of the Decree 

Parties. 

The current reservoir releases 

program, established by Resolution No. 

2004–3, and the current spill mitigation 

program, established by Resolution No. 

2006–18, both were due to expire on 

May 31, 2007. In light of ongoing efforts 

by the Decree Parties to develop a 

revised consensus FFMP proposal, the 

Commission extended both programs 

through September 30, 2007 by 

Resolution No. 2007–7 on May 10, 2007. 

A notice concerning the original 

FFMP proposal of the Decree Parties 

appeared in the Federal Register on 

February 12, 2007 (72 FR 6509).
