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.

those parties that have made a timely written request for such 
notice to the appropriate regional or project office of Reclamation.

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.
