Under certain conditions, Section
209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 authorizes the
sale and conveyance of the Federally
owned mineral interests in land when
the non-mineral, or so-called ‘‘surface’’
interest in the land is not Federally
owned. The objective is to allow
consolidation of the surface and mineral
interests when either one of the
following conditions exist: (1) There are
known mineral values in the land; or (2)
where continued Federal ownership of
the mineral interests interferes with or
precludes appropriate non-mineral
development and such development is a
more beneificial use of the land than
mineral development.
An application was filed for the sale
and conveyance of the Federally owned
mineral interest in the above-described
tract of land. Publication of this notice
segregates, subject to valid existing
rights, the Federally owned mineral
interests in the public lands referenced
above in this notice from appropriation
under the general mining and mineral
leasing laws, while the application is
being processed to determine if either
one of the two specified conditions
exists and, if so, to otherwise comply
with the procedural requirements of 43
CFR Part 2720. The segregative effect
shall terminate: (i) Upon issuance of a
patent or other document of conveyance
as to such mineral interests; (ii) upon
final rejection of the application; or (iii)
two years from the date of filing the
application, whichever occurs first.
(Authority: 43 CFR 2720.1–1(b)).
Dated: May 22, 2006.

resources planning. The discount rate
for Federal water resources planning for
fiscal year 2007 is 4.875 percent.
Discounting is to be used to convert
future monetary values to present
values.
This discount rate is to be used
for the period October 1, 2006, through
and including September 30, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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
4.875 percent for fiscal year 2007.
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 shall 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 shall not be raised or lowered more
than one-quarter of 1 percent for any
year. The Treasury Department
calculated the specified average to be
4.9351 percent. This average value is
then rounded to the nearest one-eighth
of a point, resulting in 4.875 percent.
Since this is within the permissible onequarter of 1 percent change from the
fiscal year 2006 rate of 5.125 percent,
the rate changes to 4.875. Therefore, the
change is limited to a one-quarter
percent decrease.
The rate of 4.875 percent shall 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.

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 2007 is 4.875
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, 2006,
through and including September 30, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl J. Stock, Economist, Contract
Services Office, Denver, Colorado 80225; telephone: 303-445-2929.
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 4.875 percent for
fiscal year 2007.
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 shall 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 one-
eighth percent); and (2) provide that the rate shall not be raised or
lowered more than one-quarter of 1 percent for any year. The Treasury
Department calculated the specified average to be 4.9351 percent. This
average value is then rounded to the nearest one-eighth of a point,

quarter of 1 percent change from the fiscal year 2006 rate of 5.125

a one-quarter percent decrease.
The rate of 4.875 percent shall 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.
