The "Arkansas-White-Red Basins <br /> <br />Inter-AgencyCornmittee at a meeting on November 20; 1951, adopted the <br /> <br />folloWing interim procedures: <br /> <br />"il.. ''In ordElr to 'determine the relative l1lerits'of proposed <br />projects and programs, a benefit-cost ratio will be <br />determined which will be based upon the relation between <br />the estimated annual cost and what is defined as the <br />'minimUm estimate of primary benefits'. For the' evalua- <br />tion of agricultural aspeots of tentative development <br />plans, existing procedures for the estimation of primary <br />benefits differ only in the oalculation of the labor <br />costs to"be:deducted frcm the increase ingress farm <br />income for the purpose of 'arriving at net primary benefits. <br />In order that procedures may be uniform during this interim <br />period, all' agencies will deduct as a labor cost the esti- <br />mated cost' the farmer would incur if he hired all additional <br />'labor necessary to achieve the increased agricultural pro- <br />duction. Primary benefits so derived are defined as the <br />"minimum estimate of priniary benefits." In this procedure, <br />the benefit-cost ratio is not to be considered indicative <br />of economic feasibility. <br /> <br />"b. For 'nonagrioul tural aspeots of proposed plans, no signifioant <br />differences appear to exist between the several agenoies on <br />the calculation of the primary benefits and, therefore, for <br />these aspects, the normally estimated primary benefits will <br />be used as the 'minimum estimate of primary benefits.' <br /> <br />"0. It is olearly u'nd'erstood that' the foregoing prooedure would: <br /> <br />"(1)" Be applicable only on an interim basis until agreement <br />is reached on how uniform benefit-cost estimates will <br />be made; and <br /> <br />4 <br />
