Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of 

contractual actions that have been 

proposed to the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and are new, modified, 

discontinued, or completed since the 

last publication of this notice on July 22, 

2005. 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

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 

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 shall furnish revised 

contracts to all parties who requested 

the contract in response to the initial 

public notice. 

The March 10, 2005, notice should be 

used as a reference point to identify 

changes. The numbering system in this 

notice corresponds with the numbering 

system in the March 10, 2005, notice.
