[Investigation No. 337–TA–975]
ACTION:
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 2016 is 3.125 percent.
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

This discount rate is to be used
for the period October 1, 2015, through
and including September 30, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Max
Millstein, Bureau of Reclamation,

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
3.125 percent for fiscal year 2016.
This rate has been computed in
accordance with Section 80(a), Public
Law 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 2.6511 percent. This rate,
rounded to the nearest one-eighth
percent, is 2.625 percent, which is a
change of more than the allowable onequarter of 1 percent. Therefore, the
fiscal year 2016 rate is 3.125 percent.
The rate of 3.125 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.
