values for changes in water quality 

within the Susquehanna River Basin 

located in Pennsylvania. The 

Susquehanna River, with its streams 

and tributaries, is the largest river 

system lying entirely within the United 

States that drains into the Atlantic 

Ocean. Water from the Susquehanna 

River is used for drinking, 

manufacturing, agriculture, and power 

generation, and also provides habitat for 

fish and opportunities for outdoor 

recreation. Stormwater runoff and 

excess nutrients and sediment have 

increased algae, decreased fish health, 

and have resulted in closed beaches due 

to bacteria. As a result of these and 

other events, water managers in the 

Susquehanna River Basin are reviewing 

private citizens’ river uses, perceptions, 

and the economic value of improved 

water quality. USGS economists will 

conduct an economic survey of private 

households in Pennsylvania to help 

local decision makers achieve this 

review. These values will be estimated 

via a mail survey instrument. The 

primary goal of conducting this 

valuation study is to improve the way 

in which communities frame the choice 

regarding the allocation of scarce 

resources and to clarify the trade-offs 

between alternative outcomes. No such 

prior analysis has been conducted in the 

Susquehanna River Basin. 

The information collection process 

will be conducted by scientists and staff 

in the Social and Economic Analysis 

Branch of the USGS, and partnering 

researchers in the Department of 

Agricultural and Resource Economics at 

Colorado State University. This 

information collection will be 

conducted through an online survey 

with an optional paper survey. Letters 

and postcards will be mailed to 

potential respondents to encourage 

participation in the survey. We will 

protect information from respondents 

considered proprietary under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552) and its implementing regulations 

(43 CFR part 2), and under regulations 

at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and 

information to be made available to the 

public or for limited inspection.’’ 

Responses are voluntary. No questions 

of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked.

Title VI of the Claims Resolution Act of 

2010. The publication of this notice 

causes the Settlement Agreement 

executed in accordance with the 

Settlement Act to remain applicable and 

causes certain waivers and releases of 

claims executed pursuant to the 

Settlement Act to become applicable. 

DATES: This notice is applicable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Settlement Act was enacted to resolve 

water rights claims of the Pueblos of 

Pojoaque, Nambe ́, Tesuque, and San 

Ildefonso (Pueblos) in the Pojoaque 

River Basin—including the Rio Nambe ́, 

Rio Pojoaque, and Rio Tesuque stream 

systems and interrelated groundwater 

systems—in the State of New Mexico 

subject to an adjudication in the U.S. 

District Court (Court) in State of New 

Mexico ex rel. State Engineer v. 

Aamodt, No. 6:66–CV–6639 (D.N.M. 

filed 1966). The Settlement Parties 

include the four Pueblos; the County of 

Santa Fe; the City of Santa Fe; various 

individuals and entities; the State of 

New Mexico (State); and the United 

States (Settlement Parties). 

The Settlement Act and underlying 

agreements quantify and define the 

Pueblos’ water rights, including surface 

and groundwater within the Pojoaque 

River Basin as well as additional water 

to be supplied via contract from the 

Bureau of Reclamation’s San JuanChama Project, and also recognizes 

certain non-Pueblo water entitlements 

and allocations, including for local 

governments and water districts. The 

Settlement Act and underlying 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices 43401 

agreements provide additional 

significant benefits to the Pueblos and 

local communities, including federal 

funding to help construct the Pojoaque 

Basin Regional Water System and 

federal funding to establish the Aamodt 

Pueblos Settlement Fund. The nonfederal Settlement Parties submitted a 

signed Settlement Agreement to 

Congress prior to enactment of the 

Settlement Act, which has been revised 

and signed by the Settlement Parties 

pursuant to the terms of the Settlement 

Act. In order for the Settlement 

Agreement to remain enforceable, nine 

conditions precedent outlined in section 

623 of the Settlement Act must be 

fulfilled by September 15, 2017. 

Statement of Findings 

In accordance with section 623(a)(2) 

of the Settlement Act, I find as follows: 

(A) To the extent that the Settlement 

Agreement conflicted with the 

Settlement Act, the Settlement 

Agreement has been revised to conform 

with the Settlement Act. 

(B) The Settlement Agreement, as 

revised, including waivers and releases 

pursuant to section 624 of the 

Settlement Act, has been executed by 

the appropriate parties and the 

Secretary. 

(C) Congress has fully appropriated, 

or the Secretary has provided from other 

authorized sources, all funds authorized 

by section 617 of the Settlement Act, 

with the exception of subsection (a)(1)

entered into appropriate contracts for 

the water rights described in section 

613(a) of the Settlement Act. 

(E) For purposes of section 613(a) of 

the Settlement Act, permits have been 

issued by the New Mexico State 

Engineer to the Pojoaque Basin Regional 

Water Authority (Authority) formed 

pursuant to section 9.5 of the Settlement 

Agreement to change the points of 

diversion to the mainstem of the Rio 

Grande for the diversion and 

consumptive use of at least 2,381 acrefeet by the Pueblos as part of the water 

supply for the Regional Water System, 

subject to the conditions that (i) the 

permits are free of any condition that 

materially adversely affects the ability of 

the Pueblos or the Authority to divert or 

use the Pueblo water supply described 

in section 613(a) of the Settlement Act, 

including water rights acquired in 

addition to those described in section 

613(a) of the Settlement Act, in 

accordance with section 613(g) of the 

Settlement Act; and (ii) the Settlement 

Agreement establishes the means to 

address any permit conditions to ensure 

the ability of the Pueblos to fully divert 

and consume at least 2,381 acre-feet as 

part of the water supply for the Regional 

Water System, including defining the 

conditions that will not constitute a 

material adverse effect. 

(F) The State has enacted necessary 

legislation and has provided funding as 

required under the Settlement 

Agreement. 

(G) A partial final decree that sets 

forth the water rights and other rights to 

water to which the Pueblos are entitled 

under the Settlement Agreement and the 

Settlement Act and that substantially 

conforms to the Settlement Agreement 

has been approved by the Court. 

(H) A final decree that sets forth the 

water rights for all parties to the Aamodt 

Case and that substantially conforms to 

the Settlement Agreement has been 

approved by the Court. 

(I) The waivers and releases described 

in section 624 of the Settlement Act 

have been executed.
