as planning; NEPA compliance; NHPA
compliance; ESA compliance; necessary
studies; LOPP project development;
design, construction, safety plan, and
facility testing; and the start of
hydropower production.
(j) An estimate of development costs.
These costs will include all investment
costs such as the cost of studies to
determine feasibility; NEPA
compliance; NHPA compliance; ESA
compliance; other statutory compliance;
design; construction; financing as well
as the amortized annual cost of the
investment; annual O&M expense for
the hydropower development; lease
payments to the United States; expenses
associated with the Reclamation project;
and anticipated return on investment. If
there are additional transmission
expenses associated with the
development of the LOPP project, these
expenses must also be included. The
proposal must identify proposed
methods of financing the LOPP project.
The proposal must include an economic
analysis that compares the present
worth of all benefits and costs of the
hydropower development.
Selection of Lessee
Reclamation will evaluate proposals
received in response to this published
Notice. Reclamation may request
additional information from individual
proposing entities and/or all proposing
entities after proposals are submitted,
but prior to making a selection of a
lessee.
Reclamation will give more favorable
consideration to proposals that (1)
responsibly develop hydropower; (2)
avoid, reduce, or minimize
environmental impacts; (3) clearly
demonstrate that the offeror is qualified
to develop the hydropower facility and
provide for long-term O&M; and (4) best
share the economic benefits of the
hydropower development among parties
(including the United States) to the
LOPP. A proposal will be deemed
unacceptable if it is inconsistent with
Bostwick Park Project purposes, as
determined by Reclamation.
Reclamation will give preference to
those entities that qualify as preference
entities, as defined under Proposal
Content Guidelines, item (b) of this
Notice, provided that they are well
qualified to develop and provide for
long-term O&M of the hydropower
facility. If one applicant is a preference
entity and the other is not, and the
preference entity’s proposed plans are
not as well qualified as the nonpreference entity’s plans, Reclamation
will inform the preference entity of the
specific reasons why its plans are not as
well qualified and afford up to 30

Jkt 247001
calendar days for the preference entity
to render its plans at least as well
qualified as the other plans. All other
applicants will be informed of this
action. If the plans of the preference
entity are rendered at least as well
qualified within the time allowed,
Reclamation will favor the preference
entity. If the preference entity’s plans
are not rendered at least as well
qualified within the time allowed,
Reclamation will favor the other
applicant.
Notice and Time Period To Enter Into
LOPP
Reclamation will notify, in writing, all
entities submitting proposals of
Reclamation’s decision regarding
selection of the potential lessee. The
selected potential lessee will be
provided a maximum of 24 months from
the date of selection to sign the
preliminary lease, complete the
requirements set forth in the
preliminary lease, and to sign the LOPP.
The lessee will have a maximum of 1
year from the date of the execution of
the LOPP to complete final designs,
specifications, etc., and an additional 1
year to begin construction. A maximum
of 4 years is allowed, from the date of
the preliminary lease to the beginning of
construction. Maximum timeframes for
construction will be determined by the
Upper Colorado Regional Director. The
above timeframes will only be extended
for just cause resulting from actions
and/or circumstances that are beyond
the control of Reclamation or the lessee.
Just cause and timeframe adjustments
will be determined solely by the Upper
Colorado Regional Director.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
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 2019 is 2.875 percent.
Discounting is to be used to convert
future monetary values to present
values.
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 2.9176 percent. This rate,
rounded to the nearest one-eighth
percent, is 2.875 percent, which is a
change of less than the allowable onequarter of 1 percent. Therefore, the
fiscal year 2019 rate is 2.875 percent.
The rate of 2.875 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.

contract actions may be published in the Federal Register and in
newspapers of general circulation in the areas determined by
Reclamation to be affected by the proposed action.
ADDRESSES: The identity of the approving officer and other information
pertaining to a specific contract proposal may be obtained by calling

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939, and the rules and regulations
published in 52 FR 11954, April 13, 1987 (43 CFR 426.22), Reclamation
will publish notice of proposed or amendatory contract actions for any
contract for the delivery of project water for authorized uses in
newspapers of general circulation in the affected area at least 60 days
prior to contract execution. Announcements may be in the form of news
releases, legal notices, official letters, memorandums, or other forms
of written material. Meetings, workshops, and/or hearings may also be
used, as 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
be coordinated with those involved in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act. Pursuant to the ``Final Revised Public
Participation Procedures'' for water resource-related contract
negotiations, published in 47 FR 7763, February 22, 1982, a tabulation
is provided of all proposed contractual actions in each of the five
Reclamation regions. When contract negotiations are 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
[[Page 64874]]
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.
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
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 contracts to all parties who requested the contract in
response to the initial public notice.
