Consultation and Coordination With
Tribal Governments (Executive Order
13175)
The Department of the Interior strives
to strengthen its government-togovernment relationship with Indian
Tribes through a commitment to
consultation with Indian Tribes and
recognition of their right to selfgovernance and Tribal sovereignty. We
have evaluated this notice under the
Department’s consultation policy and
under the criteria of Executive Order
13175 and have determined there to be
substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Tribes because the irrigation
projects are located on or associated
with Indian reservations. To fulfill its
consultation responsibility to Tribes and
Tribal organizations, BIA
communicates, coordinates, and
consults on a continuing basis with
these entities on issues of water
delivery, water availability, and costs of
administration, operation, maintenance,
and rehabilitation of projects that
concern them. This is accomplished at
the individual irrigation project by
project, agency, and regional
representatives, as appropriate, in
accordance with local protocol and
procedures. This notice is one
component of our overall coordination
and consultation process to provide
notice to, and request comments from,
these entities when we adjust irrigation
assessment rates.
Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (Executive Order
13211)
The rate adjustments are not a
significant energy action under the
definition in Executive Order 13211. A
Statement of Energy Effects is not
required.
Regulatory Planning and Review
(Executive Order 12866)
These rate adjustments are not a
significant regulatory action and do not
need to be reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866.

Regulatory Flexibility Act
These rate adjustments are not a rule
for the purposes of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act because they establish ‘‘a
rule of particular applicability relating
to rates.’’ 5 U.S.C. 601(2).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995
These rate adjustments do not impose
an unfunded mandate on state, local, or
Tribal governments in the aggregate, or
on the private sector, of more than $130

significant or unique effect on state,
local, or Tribal governments or the
private sector. Therefore, the
Department is not required to prepare a
statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Takings (Executive Order 12630)
These rate adjustments do not effect a
taking of private property or otherwise
have ‘‘takings’’ implications under
Executive Order 12630. The rate
adjustments do not deprive the public,
state, or local governments of rights or
property.
Federalism (Executive Order 13132)
Under the criteria in section 1 of
Executive Order 13132, these rate
adjustments do not have sufficient
federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement because they will not
affect the States, the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or the distribution of power
and responsibilities among various
levels of government. A federalism
summary impact statement is not
required.
Civil Justice Reform (Executive Order
12988)
This notice complies with the
requirements of Executive Order 12988.
Specifically, in issuing this notice, the
Department has taken the necessary
steps to eliminate drafting errors and
ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,
and provide a clear legal standard for
affected conduct as required by section
3 of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
These rate adjustments do not affect
the collections of information which
have been approved by the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. BIA has requested revision
of the OMB Control Number, which is
1076–0141 and expires June 30, 2019.
National Environmental Policy Act
The Department has determined that
these rate adjustments do not constitute
a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment and that no detailed
statement is required under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4321–4370(d), pursuant to 43
CFR 46.210(i). In addition, the rate
adjustments do not present any of the 12
extraordinary circumstances listed at 43
CFR 46.215.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
Gila District, Tucson Field Office, is
issuing the Final Supplemental EIS/
Proposed RMP Amendments for the Ray
Land Exchange to supplement the
environmental impact analysis in the
original Ray Land Exchange/RMP
Amendments Final EIS completed by
the BLM in 1999. ASARCO LLC
(ASARCO) proposed the Ray Land
Exchange with the BLM in order to
acquire up to 10,976 acres of public
lands and federally owned mineral
estate adjacent to its Ray Complex (Ray
Mine and associated processing
facilities near Hayden, AZ) and in the
Casa Grande, AZ vicinity (the Selected
Lands). In exchange, ASARCO is
offering to the BLM 7,304 acres of
private lands identified by the BLM as
desirable for consolidating checkerboard
land ownership and improving access to
existing Federal land for traditional uses
such as hunting and other recreation
(the Offered Lands).
Through the exchange, the BLM has
an opportunity to improve resource
management efficiency by disposing of
heavily encumbered, isolated, and
difficult-to-manage public lands; and
support Secretarial Order 3373 by
acquiring lands that will consolidate
ownership patterns in order to improve
public access and conserve important
natural resources. By acquiring the
Selected Lands, ASARCO is seeking to
consolidate its land holdings within and
near areas of ongoing mineral
development and to use the Selected
Lands to support current and future
mining-related operations.
The Proposed Action and alternatives
presented and analyzed in the Final
Supplemental EIS are the same as those
presented and analyzed in the 1999
Final EIS. The Final Supplemental EIS
supplements the 1999 Final EIS by
providing clarifying analysis of
potential environmental impacts of the
land exchange and alternatives.
Specifically, the Final Supplemental EIS
analyzes and compares the effects of the
land exchange on the foreseeable
mining operations conducted on Federal
lands under BLM regulations (the No
Action Alternative) with the effects of
the land exchange on the foreseeable
mining operations conducted all or
