The Department has modified <br />the rule in ~ 414.3(a) to provide that the Secretary will be a party to a Storage and Interstate <br />Release Agreement. The Department also recognizes in ~ 414.3(e) that, in certain circumstances, <br />existing contracts or subcontracts satisfY the requirements of ~ 5 for the delivery of water under a <br />Storage and Interstate Release Agreement. The final rule does not anticipate the need for the <br />execution of any further ~ 5 contracts in order to implement a Storage and Interstate Release <br />Agreement. Question 3 is moot in light of these modifications to the rule. Comments by the <br />parties in response to Question 3 primarily address issues raised by Questions 1 and 2 and are <br />responded to above. <br /> <br />40 <br />
