contract execution. Announcements
may be in the form of news releases,
legal notices, official letters,

appropriate, to provide local publicity.
The public participation procedures do
not apply to proposed contracts for the
sale of surplus or interim irrigation
water for a term of 1 year or less. Either
of the contracting parties may invite the
public to observe contract proceedings.
All public participation procedures will

contract negotiations, published in 47
FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation

completed, and prior to execution, each
proposed contract form must be
approved by the Secretary of the
Interior, or pursuant to delegated or
redelegated authority, the Commissioner
of Reclamation or one of the regional
directors. In some instances,
congressional review and approval of a
report, water rate, or other terms and
conditions of the contract may be
involved.
Public participation in and receipt of
comments on contract proposals will be
facilitated by adherence to the following
procedures:
1. Only persons authorized to act on
behalf of the contracting entities may
negotiate the terms and conditions of a
specific contract proposal.

submitted to the appropriate regional
officials at the locations and within the
time limits set forth in the advance
public notices.
5. All written comments received and
testimony presented at any public
hearings will be reviewed and
summarized by the appropriate regional
office for use by the contract approving
authority.
6. Copies of specific proposed
contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his or
her designated public contact as they
become available for review and
comment.
7. In the event modifications are made
in the form of a proposed contract, the
appropriate regional director shall
determine whether republication of the
notice and/or extension of the comment
period is necessary.
Factors considered in making such a
determination shall include, but are not
limited to, (i) the significance of the
modification, and (ii) the degree of
public interest which has been
expressed over the course of the
negotiations. At a minimum, the
regional director will furnish revised

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939, as amended and supplemented, and the
rules and regulations published in 52 FR 11954, April 13, 1987 (43 CFR

term of 1 year or less. Either of the contracting parties may invite
the public to observe contract proceedings. All public participation

be involved.
Public participation in and receipt of comments on contract

1. Only persons authorized to act on behalf of the contracting
entities may negotiate the terms and conditions of a specific contract
proposal.
2. Advance notice of meetings or hearings will be furnished to
those parties that have made a timely written request for such notice
to the appropriate regional or project office of Reclamation.
3. Written correspondence regarding proposed contracts may be made
available to the general public pursuant to the terms and procedures of
the Freedom of Information Act, as amended.
4. Written comments on a proposed contract or contract action must
be submitted to the appropriate regional officials at the locations and

6. Copies of specific proposed contracts may be obtained from the
appropriate regional director or his or her designated public contact
as they become available for review and comment.
7. In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed
contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether
republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is
necessary.
Factors considered in making such a determination shall include,
but are not limited to, (i) the significance of the modification, and
(ii) the degree of public interest which has been expressed over the
course of the negotiations. At a minimum, the regional director will
furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
