DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

43 CFR Part 230

RIN 1006-AA26

 

Rules and Regulations for Reclamation of Arid Lands by the United 
States

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule; rescission.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 43 CFR Part 230 pertains to the management of water rights for 
individuals receiving benefits from Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) 
irrigation projects. This regulation is outdated because current 
procedures for managing water rights conform to State requirements 
rather than procedures stated in this regulation. This regulation is no 
longer applicable to Reclamation programs, and so it is being removed 
from the Code of Federal Regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 19, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marilyn Rehfeld, Department of 
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Division of Supply and Services (D-
7924), PO Box 25007, Building 67, Denver Federal Center, Denver, 
Colorado 80225-0007, Tel: 303-236-6730.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior (Department) 
has determined this document is not a significant rule under Executive 
Order 12866, and therefore does not require review by the Office of 
Management and Budget.
    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.), the Bureau of Reclamation certifies that this rule will not have 
a significant economic effect on a substantial number of small 
entities.
    This final rule to rescind 43 CFR part 230 is determined not to 
have Federalism effects under Executive Order 12612 as it has no direct 
causal effect on the relative roles of Federal and State Government.
    This rule does not contain collections of information that require 
approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.
    The Department has determined that this document does not 
constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality 
of the human environment under the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969.
    The policy of the Department is, whenever practicable, to afford 
the public an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process. A 
proposed rule was published in the Federal Register, 58 FR 65692, Dec. 
16, 1993. Interested persons were asked to submit written comments, 
suggestions or objections regarding its content. No comments were 
received during the 60-day comment period.
    The Department has certified to the OMB that this final rule meets 
the applicable standards provided in sections 2(a) and 2(b) of 
Executive Order 12778.
