Service, Repayment, and Other WaterRelated Contract Actions 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of contract actions. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of 

contractual actions that have been 

proposed to the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and are new, 

discontinued, or completed since the 

last publication of this notice. This 

notice is one of a variety of means used 

to inform the public about proposed 

contractual actions for capital recovery 

and management of project resources 

and facilities consistent with section 9(f) 

of the Reclamation Project Act of 1939. 

Additional announcements of 

individual contract actions may be 

published in the Federal Register and in 

newspapers of general circulation in the 

areas determined by Reclamation to be 

affected by the proposed action. 

ADDRESSES: The identity of the 

approving officer and other information 

pertaining to a specific contract 

proposal may be obtained by calling or 

writing the appropriate regional office at 

the address and telephone number given 

for each region in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent 

with section 9(f) of the Reclamation 

Project Act of 1939, and the rules and 

regulations published in 52 FR 11954, 

April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), 

Reclamation will publish notice of 

proposed or amendatory contract 

actions for any contract for the delivery 

of project water for authorized uses in 

newspapers of general circulation in the 

affected area at least 60 days prior to 

contract execution. Announcements 

may be in the form of news releases, 

legal notices, official letters, 

memorandums, or other forms of 

written material. Meetings, workshops, 

and/or hearings may also be used, as 

appropriate, to provide local publicity. 

The public participation procedures do 

not apply to proposed contracts for the 

sale of surplus or interim irrigation 

water for a term of 1 year or less. Either 

of the contracting parties may invite the 

public to observe contract proceedings. 

All public participation procedures will 

be coordinated with those involved in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to 

the ‘‘Final Revised Public Participation 

Procedures’’ for water resource-related 

contract negotiations, published in 47 

FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation 

is provided of all proposed contractual 

actions in each of the five Reclamation 

regions. 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, as 

amended. 

4. Written comments on a proposed 

contract or contract action must be 

submitted to the appropriate regional 

officials at the locations and within the 

time limits set forth in the advance 

public notices. 

5. All written comments received and 

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 or 

her 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. At a minimum, the 

regional director will furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice.

requires the Commission to report 

biennially to the Congress and the 

President by September 30 of each 

reporting year on the economic impact 

of the Act on U.S. industries and U.S. 

consumers, and on the effectiveness of 

the Act in promoting drug-related crop 

eradication and crop substitution efforts 

by beneficiary countries. The 

Commission prepares these reports 

under investigation No. 332–352, 

Andean Trade Preference Act: Impact 

on U.S. Industries and Consumers and 

on Drug Crop Eradication and Crop 

Substitution. 

DATES: August 16, 2018: Deadline for 

filing written submissions. September 

30, 2018: Transmittal of Commission

International Trade Commission 

Building, 500 E Street SW, Washington, 

DC. All written submissions should be 

addressed to the Secretary, United 

States International Trade Commission, 

500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 

20436. The public record for this 

investigation may be viewed on the 

Commissions electronic docket (EDIS) at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Section 206 of the 

Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) 

(19 U.S.C. 3204) requires that the 

Commission submit biennial reports to 

the Congress and the President 

regarding the economic impact of the 

Act on U.S. industries and consumers 

and, in conjunction with other agencies, 

the effectiveness of the Act in promoting 

drug-related crop eradication and crop 

substitution efforts of the beneficiary 

countries. Section 206(b) of the Act 

requires that each report include: 

(1) The actual effect of ATPA on the 

U.S. economy generally as well as on 

specific domestic industries which 

produce articles that are like, or directly 

competitive with, articles being 

imported under the Act from beneficiary 

countries; 

(2) The probable future effect that 

ATPA will have on the U.S. economy 

generally and on such domestic 

industries; and 

(3) The estimated effect that ATPA 

has had on drug-related crop eradication 

and crop substitution efforts of 

beneficiary countries. 

Under the statute the Commission is 

required to prepare this report 

regardless of whether preferential 

treatment was provided during the 

period covered by the report. The 

President’s authority to provide 

preferential treatment under ATPA 

expired on July 31, 2013. During the 

period to be covered by this report, 

calendar years 2016 and 2017, no 

imports entering the United States 

should have received preferential 

treatment under the ATPA program. 

The Commission will submit its 

report by September 30, 2018. The 

initial notice announcing institution of 

this investigation for the purpose of 

preparing these reports was published 

in the Federal Register of March 10, 

1994 (59 FR 11308). Notice providing 

opportunity to file written submissions 

in connection with the seventeenth 

report was published in the Federal 

Register of August 23, 2016 (81 FR
