Participation Procedures’’ for water

resource-related contract negotiations,

published in 47 FR 7763, Feb. 22, 1982,

a tabulation is provided of all proposed

contractual actions in each of the five

Reclamation regions. Each proposed

action is, or is expected to be, in some

stage of the contract negotiation process

in 1997. 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

appropriate regional or project office of

Reclamation.

3. Written correspondence regarding

proposed contracts may be made

available to the general public pursuant

to the terms and procedures of the

Freedom of Information Act (80 Stat.

testimony presented at any public

hearings will be reviewed and

summarized by the appropriate regional

office for use by the contract approving

authority.

6. Copies of specific proposed

contracts may be obtained from the

appropriate regional director or his

designated public contact as they

become available for review and

comment.

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. As a minimum, the

regional director shall furnish revised

contracts to all parties who requested

the contract in response to the initial

public notice.
