SUSQUEHANNA RIVER BASIN COMMISSION

18 CFR Part 803


Review and Approval of Projects

AGENCY: Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC).

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY This document contains a correction to the final regulations, 
which were published in the Federal Register on Thursday, June 15, 1995 
(60 FR 31391). The regulations provided the procedural and substantive 
rules for SRBC review and approval of water resources projects. This 
correction conforms a definition to the language in the Susquehanna 
River Basin compact.
DATES: Effective May 11, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Cairo, General Counsel, 
717-238-0423; Fax: 717-238-2436; e-mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#2e5c4d4f475c416e5d5c4c4d00404b5a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8af8e9ebe3f8e5caf9f8e8e9a4e4effe">[email protected]</span></a>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The SRBC adopted a final rule on May 11, 1995 establishing: (1) the 
scope and procedures for review and approval of projects under Section 
3.10 of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact, Pub. L. 91-575; 83 Stat. 
1509 et seq. (the Compact); and (2) special standards under Section 3.4 
(2) of the Compact governing water withdrawals and consumptive use of 
water. The definitions included in that final rulemaking action were 
intended to match the definitions provided in the Compact. Because of a 
typographical transposition, the definition of ``project'' in the final 
rule does not match the definition of ``project'' in Article 1, Section 
1.1 (7) of the Compact. Because this definition was intended to go into 
effect on May 11, 1995, this correcting amendment is made retroactive 
to that date.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain an error that may prove 
to be misleading to project applicants and needs to be corrected.

List of Subjects in 18 CFR Part 803
