The public participation procedures do
not apply to proposed contracts for the

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

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of contractual actions that have been
proposed to the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and are new,
discontinued, or completed since the last publication of this notice.
This notice is one of a variety of means used to inform the public
about proposed contractual actions for capital recovery and management
of project resources and facilities consistent with section 9(f) of the
Reclamation Project Act of 1939. Additional announcements of individual
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
or writing the appropriate regional office at the address and telephone
number given for each region in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Kelly, Reclamation Law
Administration Division, Bureau of Reclamation, P.O. Box 25007, Denver,
Colorado 80225-0007; [email protected]; telephone 303-445-2888.
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
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.
