Project Completion Act; Sanpete

County, UT

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary—Water and Science,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to negotiate

agreements among the Central Utah

Water Conservancy District (CUWCD),

Sanpete Water Conservancy District,

Sanpete County, and the Department of

the Interior for implementation of

Projects in Sanpete County, Utah.

SUMMARY: Public Law 102–575, section

206(a)(1) provides: ‘‘After two years

from the date of enactment of this Act,

the District shall, at the option of an

eligible county as provided in paragraph

(2), rebate to such county all of the ad

valorem tax contributions paid by such

county to the District, with interest but

less the value of any benefits received

by such county and less the

administrative expenses incurred by the

District to that date.’’ Sanpete County

desires to pursue local water

development projects and is requesting

a rebate of a portion of the ad valorem

taxes it has paid to CUWCD, plus

interest, to provide the required 35

percent local funding for such projects.

In a letter dated October 7, 1996,

Sanpete County requested federal

funding, equal to 65 percent of the costs

as set forth in section 206(b)(1), to

implement the projects. Section

206(b)(1) states: ‘‘Upon the request of

any eligible county that elects not to

participate in the project as provided in

subsection (a), the Secretary shall

provide as a grant to such county an

amount that, when matched with the

rebate received by such county, shall

constitute 65 percent of the cost of

implementation of measures identified

in paragraph (2).’’

Sanpete County, located within the

Sevier River Basin in Central Utah, is

requesting federal funding for the

Mayfield New Well Project and the

Axtell Culinary Water System

Improvement Project. Both projects are

municipal improvement projects

intended to increase the reliability and

stability of their existing culinary water

systems. Two agreements will be

negotiated—one to provide funding for

the Mayfield Project and the other for

the Axtell Project.

DATES: Dates for public negotiation

sessions will be announced in local

newspapers.
