AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability and 

Notice of Public Hearings for the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

Colorado River Interim Guidelines for 

Lower Basin Shortages and Coordinated 

Operations for Lake Powell and Lake

1969, as amended, and the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s Regulations for 

Implementing the Procedural Provisions 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices 9027 

of NEPA, the Department of the Interior 

(Department), acting through the Bureau 

of Reclamation (Reclamation), has 

prepared a draft environmental impact 

statement (Draft EIS) on the proposed 

adoption of specific Colorado River 

Lower Basin shortage guidelines and 

coordinated reservoir management 

strategies to address operations of Lake 

Powell and Lake Mead, particularly 

under low reservoir conditions. This 

action is proposed in order to provide 

a greater degree of certainty to U.S. 

Colorado River water users and 

managers of the Colorado River Basin by 

providing detailed and objective 

guidelines for the operations of Lake 

Powell and Lake Mead, thereby 

allowing water managers and water 

users in the Lower Basin to know when, 

and by how much, water deliveries will 

be reduced in drought and other low 

reservoir conditions. The Department 

proposes that these guidelines be 

interim in duration and extend through 

2026. 

Cooperating agencies are the Bureau 

of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, the National Park 

Service (NPS), the Western Area Power 

Administration (Western), and the 

United States Section of the 

International Boundary and Water 

Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During the 

period from 2000–2006, the Colorado 

River has experienced the worst drought 

conditions in approximately one 

hundred years of recorded history. 

During this period, storage in Colorado 

River reservoirs has dropped from 

nearly full to less than 60 percent of 

capacity at the end of 2006. Currently, 

the Department does not have specific 

operational guidelines in place to 

address the operation of Lake Mead and 

Lake Powell during drought and low 

reservoir conditions. 

Accordingly, the Department 

proposes the adoption of specific 

interim guidelines for Lower Basin 

shortages and coordinated operations of 

Lake Powell and Lake Mead. The 

proposed federal action will be 

implemented through the adoption of 

interim guidelines in effect through 

2026 that would be used each year by 

the Department in implementing the 

Criteria for Coordinated Long-Range 

Operation of Colorado River Reservoirs 

Pursuant to the Colorado River Basin 

Project Act of September 30, 1968, 

through issuance of the Annual 

Operating Plan for Colorado River 

Reservoirs. 

The proposed federal action considers 

four operational elements that 

collectively are designed to address the 

purpose and need for the proposed 

federal action. These elements are 

addressed in each of the alternatives 

described and analyzed in the Draft EIS. 

The interim guidelines would be used 

by the Secretary of the Department of 

the Interior (Secretary) to: 

• Determine those circumstances 

under which the Secretary would 

reduce the annual amount of water 

available for consumptive use from Lake 

Mead to the Colorado River Lower 

Division states (Arizona, California, and 

Nevada) below 7.5 million acre-feet (a 

‘‘Shortage’’) pursuant to Article II(B)(3) 

of the United States Supreme Court in 

the case of Arizona v. California, 547 

U.S.ll(2006); 

• Define the coordinated operation of 

Lake Powell and Lake Mead to provide 

improved operation of these two 

reservoirs, particularly under low 

reservoir conditions; 

• Allow for the storage and delivery, 

pursuant to applicable federal law, of 

conserved Colorado River system and 

non-system water in Lake Mead to 

increase the flexibility of meeting water 

use needs from Lake Mead, particularly 

under drought and low reservoir 

conditions; and 

• Determine those conditions under 

which the Secretary may declare the 

availability of surplus water for use 

within the Lower Division states. The 

proposed federal action would modify 

the substance of the existing Interim 

Surplus Guidelines (ISG), published in 

the Federal Register on January 25, 

2001 (66 FR 7772), and the term of the 

ISG from 2016 to 2026. 

The purpose of the proposed federal 

action is to: (1) Improve Reclamation’s 

management of the Colorado River by 

considering the trade-offs between the 

frequency and magnitude of reductions 

of water deliveries, and considering the 

effects on water storage in Lake Powell 

and Lake Mead, water supply, power 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
9028 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 39 / Wednesday, February 28, 2007 / Notices 

production, recreation, and other 

environmental resources; (2) provide 

mainstream U.S. users of Colorado River 

water, particularly those in the Lower 

Division states, a greater degree of 

predictability with respect to the 

amount of annual water deliveries in 

future years, particularly under drought 

and low reservoir conditions; and, (3) 

provide additional mechanisms for the 

storage and delivery of water supplies in 

Lake Mead. 

The Draft EIS presents four possible 

action alternatives for implementation, 

plus a ‘‘No Action Alternative.’’

Reclamation has not identified a 

preferred alternative in this Draft EIS. 

The preferred alternative will be 

identified following public comments 

on the Draft EIS and will be expressed 

in the Final EIS. The action alternatives 

reflect input from Reclamation staff, the 

cooperating agencies, stakeholders, and 

other interested parties. Reclamation 

received two written proposals for 

alternatives that met the purpose and 

need of the proposed federal action, one 

from the Basin States and another from 

a consortium of environmental 

organizations. These proposals were 

used and refined by Reclamation to 

formulate two of the alternatives 

considered and analyzed in this Draft 

EIS: the Basin States Alternative and the 

Conservation Before Shortage 

Alternative. A third alternative (Water 

Supply Alternative) was developed by 

Reclamation and a fourth alternative 

(Reservoir Storage Alternative) was 

developed in coordination with the NPS 

and Western. 

The Basin States Alternative proposes 

a coordinated operation of Lake Powell 

and Lake Mead that would minimize 

shortages in the Lower Basin and avoid 

the risk of curtailments of use in the 

Upper Basin. This alternative also 

provides a mechanism, Intentionally 

Created Surplus (ICS), for promoting 

water conservation in the Lower Basin. 

The Conservation Before Shortage 

Alternative includes voluntary, 

compensated reductions in water use to 

minimize involuntary shortages in the 

Lower Basin and avoid risk of 

curtailments of use in the Upper Basin. 

This alternative also provides a 

mechanism for promoting water 

conservation in the Lower Basin by 

expanding the ICS mechanism. 

The Water Supply Alternative is 

intended to maximize water deliveries 

at the expense of retaining water in 

storage in the reservoirs for future use. 

This alternative would implement 

shortages only when insufficient water 

to meet entitlements is available in Lake 

Mead. 

The Reservoir Storage Alternative 

would keep more water in storage in 

Lake Powell and Lake Mead by reducing 

water deliveries and increasing 

shortages to benefit power and 

recreational interests; and this 

alternative also provides a mechanism 

for promoting water conservation in the 

Lower Basin. 

Public Disclosure 

It is our practice to make comments, 

including names, home addresses, home 

telephone numbers, and e-mail 

addresses of respondents, available for 

public review. Individual respondents 

may request that we withhold their 

names and/or home addresses, etc., but 

if you wish us to consider withholding 

this information you must state this 

prominently at the beginning of your 

comments. In addition, you must 

present a rationale for withholding this 

information. This rationale must 

demonstrate that disclosure would 

constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of privacy. Unsupported 

assertions will not meet this burden. In 

the absence of exceptional, 

documentable circumstances, this 

information will be released. We will 

always make submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses, available 

for public inspection in their entirety.

Airtex Products LP, Including On-Site 

Leased Workers of Staffmark and Aid 

Temporary Services, Inc.; Marked Tree, 

Arkansas; Notice of Revised 

Determination on Reconsideration of 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance 

By letter dated February 8, 2007, a 

company official requested 

administrative reconsideration 

regarding Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA) applicable to 

workers of the subject firm. The 

negative determination was signed on 

January 24, 2007, and was published in 

the Federal Register on February 14, 

2007 (72 FR 7087). 

The workers of Airtex Products LP, 

including on-site leased workers of 

Staffmark and Aid Temporary Services, 

Inc., Marked Tree, Arkansas were 

certified eligible to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) on 

January 24, 2007. 

The initial ATAA investigation 

determined that there was not a 

significant number of workers in the 

workers’ firm that are 50 years of age or 

older, and that the skills of the subject 

worker group are easily transferable to 

other positions in the local area. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

company official resubmitted correct 

employment numbers which show that 

a significant number or proportion of 

the worker group of the subject firm are 

fifty years of age or older. The company 

official also provided new information 

confirming that the skills of the workers 

at the subject firm are not easily 

transferable in the local commuting 

area. 

Additional investigation has 

determined that the workers possess 

skills that are not easily transferable. A 

significant number or proportion of the 

worker group are age fifty years or over. 

Competitive conditions within the 

industry are adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the additional 

facts obtained on reconsideration, I 

conclude that the requirements of 

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended, have been met for workers at 

the subject firm. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

the Act, I make the following 

certification: 

All workers of Airtex Products LP, 

including on-site leased workers of Staffmark 

and Aid Temporary Services, Inc., Marked 

Tree, Arkansas, who became totally or 

partially separated from employment on or 

after October 20, 2005 through January 24, 

2009, are eligible to apply for trade 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974 and are also eligible 

to apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Signed in Washington, DC, this 21st day of 

February, 2007.
