SUMMARY: Section 2031 of the Water Resources Development Act of 2007
(Pub. L. 110-114) directs the Secretary of the Army to revise the
Economic and Environmental Principles and Guidelines for Water and
Related Land Resources Implementation Studies (P&G), which the Water
Resources Council issued on March 10, 1983. The Army Corps of Engineers
(``Corps'') proposes to craft the revision in phases. The first phase
would address the basic principles of water resources planning
(``Principles'') and the next phase or phases would provide more
detailed implementing guidance.
   
This notice includes a copy of the proposed Principles (see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION), which would replace the first two pages of
the P&G. The proposed Principles may also be found at: http://www.usace.army.mil/cw/hot_topics/ht_2008/pandg_rev.htm.

DATES: Written comments are invited and will be accepted through
