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.
