Change in Discount Rate for Water 

Resources Planning 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of change in discount 

rate. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation is 

announcing the interest rate to be used 

by Federal agencies in the formulation 

and evaluation of plans for water and 

related land resources is 2.75 percent for 

fiscal year 2024. 

DATES: This discount rate is to be used 

for the period October 1, 2023, through 

and including September 30, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brandee Blumenthal, Bureau of 

Reclamation, Reclamation Law

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 2024 is 2.75 percent. The 

prior year’s rate, as announced in the 

Federal Register on November 4, 2022 

(87 FR 66745), was 2.50 percent for 

fiscal year 2023. Discounting is to be 

used to convert future monetary values 

to present values. 

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 4.0332 percent. In 

accordance with the Water Resource 

Council Rules and Regulations, the 

maximum adjustment allowed for the 

current fiscal year rate is one-quarter of 

one percentage point from the previous 

fiscal year rate, which was 2.50 percent. 

Therefore, the fiscal year 2024 rate is 

2.75 percent.

The rate of 2.75 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

on December 1, 2020, based on a 

complaint filed on behalf of Meenaxi 

Enterprise Inc. (‘‘Meenaxi’’) of Edison, 

New Jersey. 85 FR 77237–8 (Dec. 1, 

2020). The complaint alleged violations 

of section 337 based upon the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain chocolate milk powder and 

packaging thereof by reason of 

infringement of U.S. Trademark 

Registration No. 4,206,026 (‘‘the ’026 

mark’’). The Commission’s notice of 

investigation named as respondents

California; Madras Group Inc. d/b/a 

Madras Groceries of Sunnyvale, 

California; Organic Food d/b/a Namaste

Id. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) was also a party 

to the investigation. 

All respondents were found in 

default. See Order No. 6 (Feb. 10, 2021), 

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Mar. 2, 

2021); Order No. 23 (May 19, 2022), 

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (Jun. 14, 

2022). 

On May 24, 2021, Meenaxi moved for 

summary determination of violation of 

section 337 by the respondents found in 

default by Order No. 6 and requested a 

GEO. On December 1, 2021, the former 

chief administrative law judge (‘‘CALJ’’) 

granted the motion as an initial 

determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 15). No 

petitions for review of the ID were filed. 

The ID, however, noted discrepancies 

with respect to respondent Organic 

Food, calling into question whether that 

respondent was ever properly served 

with the complaint and notice of 

investigation and with the CALJ’s order 

to show cause why the respondents 

should not be found in default, Order 

No. 5 (Jan. 13, 2021). See Order No. 15 

at 1 n.1. The Commission determined 

sua sponte to review Order No. 15 and 

ordered reconsideration of Order No. 6 

as to Organic Food and/or any other 

respondents who may not have been 

properly served with documents in the 

underlying investigation. Notice at 3 

(Jan 18, 2022). The Commission 

remanded the investigation to an ALJ for 

further proceedings. Id. 

On remand, the current CALJ issued 

Order No. 18, granting Meenaxi’s 

unopposed motion for leave to amend 

the complaint and notice of 

investigation to (i) substitute Organic 

Food with proposed respondent Organic 

Ingredients Inc. d/b/a Namaste Plaza 

Indian Super Market (‘‘Organic 

Ingredients’’) of San Diego, California; 

(ii) correct the address of respondent 

New India Bazar Inc. d/b/a New India 

Bazar (‘‘New India’’) of San Jose, 

California; (iii) correct the address of 

respondent Bharat Bazar Inc. (‘‘Bharat 

Bazar’’) of Union City, California; and 

(iv) supplement the complaint with 

Exhibits 9–a, 9–b, and 9–c, concerning 

Organic Food and/or Organic 

Ingredients. Order No. 18 at 1–5 (Mar. 

11, 2022), unreviewed by Comm’n 

Notice, 87 FR 22940 (Apr. 18, 2020). 

Meenaxi demonstrated that Bharat Bazar 

had been actually served with all of the 

documents in the investigation (prior to 

remand) despite incorrectly spelling 

Bharat Bazar’s address as being on 

‘‘Niled Road’’ instead of ‘‘Niles Road.’’ 

Order No. 18 at 4. 

The current CALJ conducted remand 

proceedings as to Organic Ingredients 

and New India, first ordering them to 

respond to the amended complaint and 

notice of investigation, and then 

ordering them to respond to an order to 

show cause why they should not be 

found in default. See Order No. 27 at 3 

(Aug. 3, 2022). On May 19, 2022, the 

CALJ issued an ID finding Organic 

Ingredients and New India in default 

(collectively with the respondents 

previously found in default, the 

‘‘Defaulting Respondents’’). Order No. 

23 (May 19, 2022), unreviewed by 

Comm’n Notice (June 14, 2022). 

Subsequently, on June 15, 2022, 

following the remand determination of 

default, Meenaxi again moved for 

summary determination of violation by 

the Defaulting Respondents and 

requested a GEO. On July 6, 2022, OUII 

filed a response supporting the motion. 

On August 3, 2022, the current CALJ 

issued a remand ID (‘‘RID’’), granting the 

second motion for summary 

determination and finding a violation of 

section 337 with respect to the ’026 

mark. The RID found that all Defaulting 

Respondents met the importation 

requirement and that Meenaxi satisfied 

the domestic industry requirement. See 

19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(B), (a)(2), and (a)(3). 

The RID also contained the CALJ’s 

recommended determination (‘‘RD’’) on 

remedy and bonding. The RD 

recommended issuance of a GEO with
