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 
October 15, 2008.
