draft EIS will be prepared and presented 

to the public for review and comment, 

followed by preparation and availability 

of the final EIS. Alternatives to be 

developed and considered in the EIS 

will likely focus on strategies for the 

protection of Highway 12, particularly 

in and around the areas of Buxton 

village that are regularly impacted or 

threatened by storms. The EIS will look 

to identify practical solutions, such as 

the consideration of beach nourishment, 

to address these threats and ongoing 

impacts. Before including your address, 

phone number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in any 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Bureau of Reclamation is 

responsible for recreation development 

at all of its reservoirs. Presently, there 

are 289 designated recreation areas on 

our lands within the 17 Western States. 

We must be able to respond to emerging 

trends, changes in the demographic 

profile of users, changing values, needs, 

wants and desires, and conflicts 

between user groups. Statistically valid 

and up-to-date data derived from the 

user is essential to developing and 

providing recreation programs relevant 

to today’s visitor. 

The required 60-day comment period 

for the Recreation Visitor Use Surveys 

was initiated by a notice published in 

the Federal Register on August 14, 2014

received.

Change in Discount Rate for Water 

Resources Planning 

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of change. 

SUMMARY: The Water Resources 

Planning Act of 1965 and the Water 

Resources Development Act of 1974 

require an annual determination of a 

discount rate for Federal water 

resources planning. The discount rate 

for Federal water resources planning for 

fiscal year 2015 is 3.375 percent. 

Discounting is to be used to convert 

future monetary values to present 

values. 

DATES: This discount rate is to be used 

for the period October 1, 2014, through 

and including September 30, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Max 

Millstein, Bureau of Reclamation, 

Reclamation Law Administration 

Division, Denver, Colorado 80225; 

telephone: 303–445–2853. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the interest rate to be 

used by Federal agencies in the 

formulation and evaluation of plans for 

water and related land resources is 

3.375 percent for fiscal year 2015. 

This rate has been computed in 

accordance with Section 80(a), Pub. L. 

93–251 (88 Stat. 34), and 18 CFR 704.39, 

which: (1) Specify that the rate will be 

based upon the average yield during the 

preceding fiscal year on interest-bearing 

marketable securities of the United 

States which, at the time the 

computation is made, have terms of 15 

years or more remaining to maturity 

(average yield is rounded to nearest oneeighth percent); and (2) provide that the 

rate will not be raised or lowered more 

than one-quarter of 1 percent for any 

year. The U.S. Department of the 

Treasury calculated the specified 

average to be 3.3378 percent. This rate, 

rounded to the nearest one-eighth 

percent, is 3.375 percent, which is a 

change of less than the allowable onequarter of 1 percent. Therefore, the 

fiscal year 2015 rate is 3.375 percent. 

The rate of 3.375 percent will be used 

by all Federal agencies in the 

formulation and evaluation of water and 

related land resources plans for the 

purpose of discounting future benefits 

and computing costs or otherwise 

converting benefits and costs to a 

common-time basis.
