Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Notices
submitted by certain farm operators to
provide information concerning the
services they provide and the nature of
their farm operating arrangements. All
landholders whose entire westwide
landholdings total 40 acres or less are
exempt from the requirement to submit
RRA forms. Landholders who are
‘‘qualified recipients’’ have RRA forms
submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240
acres depending on the district’s RRA
forms submittal threshold category
where the land is held. Only farm
operators who provide multiple services
to more than 960 acres held in trusts or
by legal entities are required to submit
forms.
Changes to the RRA Forms and the
Instructions to Those Forms
Minor editorial changes were made to
the currently approved RRA forms and
the instructions to those forms prior to
the 60-day comment period initiated by
the notice published in the Federal
Register (72 FR 9965, Mar. 6, 2007).
Those changes were designed to assist
the respondents by increasing their
understanding of the forms, clarifying
the instructions for use when
completing the forms, and clarifying the
information that is required to be
submitted to the districts with the
forms. We received no public comments
from the 60-day public comment period.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Notices
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act and the
California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) and the Yuba County
Water Agency (YCWA) have made
available for public review and
comment the Draft EIR/EIS for the
Proposed Lower Yuba River Accord
(Yuba Accord).
Two public hearings will be held to
provide interested individuals and
organizations with an opportunity to
comment verbally and in writing on the
Draft EIR/EIS.
The purpose of the Yuba Accord is to
resolve instream flow issues associated
with operation of the Yuba River
Development Project (Yuba Project) in a
way that protects and enhances lower
Yuba River fisheries and local watersupply reliability. At the same time, it
would provide revenues for local flood
control and water supply projects, water
for the CALFED Program to use for
protection and restoration of
Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta)
fisheries, and improvements in
statewide water supply management,
including supplemental water for the
Central Valley Project (CVP) and the
State Water Project (SWP).
DATES: Two public hearings will be held
on August 1, 2007 from 2 to 3 p.m. and
from 6 to 7 p.m. in Marysville,
California.
Submit written comments on the Draft
EIR/EIS on or before August 24, 2007 at
the address provided below.

a solution to the challenges of

competing interests by providing water
for fisheries, developing new tools to
ensure local reliable water supply,
crafting a revenue stream to pay for the
Yuba Accord, and providing additional
water for out-of-county environmental
and consumptive uses. These various
objectives would be met through
implementation of the Yuba Accord,
which includes the ‘‘Principles of
Agreement for Proposed Lower Yuba
River Fisheries Agreement’’ (Fisheries
Agreement), the ‘‘Principles of
Agreement for Proposed Conjunctive
Use Agreements’’ (Conjunctive Use
Agreements), and the ‘‘Principles of
Agreement for Proposed Long-term
Transfer Agreement’’ (Water Purchase
Agreement).
The Yuba Accord agreements are:
• A Fisheries Agreement among
YCWA, California Department of Fish
and Game, and the collective nongovernmental organizations, with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine
Fisheries Service supporting the
agreement. Under the Yuba Accord
Fisheries Agreement, YCWA would
revise the operation of the Yuba Project
to provide higher flows in the lower
Yuba River to protect and enhance
fisheries and to increase downstream
water supplies.
• Conjunctive Use Agreements
between YCWA and water districts
within Yuba County for the
implementation of a comprehensive
program of conjunctive use of surface
water and groundwater supplies and
actions to improve water use
efficiencies.
• A Water Purchase Agreement
among YCWA, the California
Department of Water Resources (DWR),
and Reclamation. Under this agreement,
Reclamation and DWR would purchase
water for the CALFED Environmental
Water Account and for the CVP and
SWP project uses.
All three of these agreements need to
be in place for the Yuba Accord to be
implemented.
The Draft EIR/EIS analyzes the
impacts of implementing the Yuba
Accord on surface water hydrology,
groundwater hydrology, water supply,
hydropower, flood control, water
quality, fisheries, wildlife, vegetation,
special-status species, recreation, visual,
cultural resources, Indian Trust Assets,
air quality, land use, socioeconomic,
growth inducement, and environmental
justice resources and conditions.
Alternatives evaluated in the Draft EIR/
EIS include the No Action Alternative,
No Project Alternative, Proposed
Project/Action Alternative (Yuba

Accord Alternative), and Modified Flow
Alternative. In addition, the Draft EIR/
EIS addresses other past, present, and
reasonably foreseeable actions in
conjunction with the implementation of
the Yuba Accord, thus analyzing
cumulative impacts.

available for public review at the
following locations:
