I. Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation is
responsible for recreation development
at all of its reservoirs. Presently, there
are 289 designated recreation areas on
our lands within the 17 Western States.
We must be able to respond to emerging
trends, changes in the demographic
profile of users, changing values, needs,
wants and desires, and conflicts
between user groups. Statistically valid
and up-to-date data derived from the
user is essential to developing and
providing recreation programs relevant
to today’s visitor.
The required 60-day comment period
for the Recreation Visitor Use Surveys
was initiated by a notice published in
the Federal Register on August 14, 2014
(79 FR 47673). No comments were
received.

Change in Discount Rate for Water
Resources Planning
Bureau of Reclamation,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of change.
AGENCY:

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 2015 is 3.375 percent.
Discounting is to be used to convert
future monetary values to present
values.

SUMMARY:

This discount rate is to be used
for the period October 1, 2014, through
and including September 30, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Max
Millstein, Bureau of Reclamation,
Reclamation Law Administration
Division, Denver, Colorado 80225;
telephone: 303–445–2853.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the interest rate to be
used by Federal agencies in the
formulation and evaluation of plans for
water and related land resources is
3.375 percent for fiscal year 2015.
This rate has been computed in
accordance with Section 80(a), Pub. L.
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 3.3378 percent. This rate,
rounded to the nearest one-eighth
percent, is 3.375 percent, which is a
change of less than the allowable oneDATES:

quarter of 1 percent. Therefore, the
fiscal year 2015 rate is 3.375 percent.
The rate of 3.375 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.
