Notice Regarding Upper Klamath Basin
Comprehensive Agreement
Office of the Secretary, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) is publishing this Notice
under subsection 10.2 of the Upper
Klamath Basin Comprehensive
Agreement (UKBCA), executed by the
Klamath Tribes (Tribes), State of Oregon
(State), and numerous irrigators in the
Upper Klamath Basin. The UKBCA
contains measures to address the needs
of water users in the Upper Klamath
Basin, who are not affiliated with the
Bureau of Reclamation’s Klamath
Project (Project). The UKBCA also
contains conditions that must be
achieved before the UKBCA can become
permanent. Despite the efforts of the
UKBCA parties, one or more conditions
in subsection 10.1 of the UKBCA have
failed to occur. Accordingly, pursuant to
the terms of subsection 10.2 of the
UKBCA and as further described below,
this statement serves as a ‘‘Negative
Notice’’ that the UKBCA is terminated
as set forth in UKBCA subsection 10.2.
DATES: The termination of the UKBCA is
effective on December 28, 2017 or, if
judicial review of the termination is
timely sought, then the effective date of
the termination shall be the date on
which the termination is sustained
following any and all appeals.
ADDRESSES: The Upper Klamath Basin
Comprehensive Agreement (UKBCA) is
available at www.oregon.gov/gov/policy/
environment/taskforce/Pages/Final_

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Address all comments and requests for
additional information to Christina
Kalavritinos, Senior Advisor,
Commissioner’s Office, Bureau of
Reclamation, (202) 513–0509.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 18, 2010, the Tribes joined

more than 60 other parties in signing the
Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement
(KBRA). A subset of those parties signed
a second agreement, the Klamath
Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement
(KHSA), that same day. Those two
agreements aimed to restore the Basin
fisheries and sustain local economies by
restoring fish habitat and implementing
a water-sharing agreement among the
parties who rely upon water from Upper
Klamath Lake (Lake) and the Klamath
River. A majority of the water users
living above (upstream of) the Lake did
not agree to this water-sharing
agreement, so the KBRA provided only
general direction on a possible Upper
Basin water-sharing agreement.
In spring 2013, the Oregon Water
Resources Department (OWRD) ruled
that the Tribes and United States held
water rights for maintaining water levels
in the major tributaries above the Lake.
The Klamath County Circuit Court
subsequently determined that
enforcement of those determined instream flow rights should not be stayed.
In summer 2013, at the request of the
Governor of Oregon and several
Congressional representatives, the
Tribes began negotiating with the State
and the non-Indian water users who are
upstream of the Lake and not affiliated
with the Project (referred to as ‘‘OffProject irrigators’’), in an effort to reach
a water-sharing and habitat restoration
agreement that would benefit their
respective interests. The resulting
agreement, the UKBCA, was executed
on April 18, 2014.
The UKBCA included:
• A Water Use Program that would
increase inflow into the Lake by an
annual average of at least 30,000 acre
feet by reducing consumptive water use
in key reaches of the tributaries above
the Lake, while also providing a stable,
sustainable basis for the continuation of
irrigated agriculture;
• A Riparian Program designed to
improve and protect riparian
conditions;
• An Economic Development
Program designed to create economic
opportunities for the Tribes and its
members;
• Increased opportunities for the
exercise of Tribal cultural rights; and
• A Transition Period to allow for the
elements of the UKBCA to be phased in
over time.
The UKBCA established a five-year
transition period with interim
milestones and operating procedures.
The parties anticipated that once the
conditions contained in subsection 10.1
of the UKBCA were achieved, the
UKBCA would become permanent.
During the transition period, the Tribes
