Abstract: The Coregonine Restoration
Framework is a multiagency
conservation plan for conducting the
science and management actions to
preserve the most abundant native
fishes in the Great Lakes. To inform the
science methodology of that framework,
the USGS will survey Great Lakes
fishery scientists from state, tribal,
academic, and non-government
institutions about the fishery-dependent
or fishery-independent field surveys
that their organizations conduct in the
lakes and connecting channels.
Examples of information to be collected
about a fishery survey include
geographic area, the time period
covered, survey design, measurements
collected, life stages of fish targeted,
number of samples per year, and basic
catch proportions for native coregonine
(Coregonus sp.) fishes. This information
is needed to recommend which types of
native fish population and conservation
models can be developed with existing
survey data and identify necessary
information not provided by
contemporary surveys. The survey
results will be published and inform
analyses, and the resulting analyses will
be presented in a white paper to
contributing fishery institutions and
management agencies.

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 2.7141 percent. In
accordance with the Water Resource
Council Rules and Regulations, the
maximum adjustment allowed for the
current fiscal year rate is one-quarter of
one percentage point from the previous
fiscal year rate, which was 2.25 percent.
Therefore, the fiscal year 2023 rate is
2.50 percent.
The rate of 2.50 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
2023 is 2.50 percent. The prior year's rate, as announced in the
Federal Register on February 3, 2022 (87 FR 6199), was 2.25 percent for
fiscal year 2022. 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

plans for the purpose of discounting future benefits and computing
costs or otherwise converting benefits and costs to a common-time
