17 notices published in week ending August 22 by Interior Department

There were 17 notices published by the Interior Department in week ending August 22, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Quarterly Status Report of Water Service, Repayment, and Other Water-Related Contract Actions, was submitted on August 20, 2021.

The Interior Department published two the week before, marking a 750.0 percent increase.

The Department oversees more than 500 million acres of land. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the department’s actions have contributed to a growing water crisis and holds many lands which could be better managed.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
