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

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
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 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

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
