trustee will not be burdened with 

submitting trust documents to us for indepth review. The Trust Information 

Sheet is disbursed at our discretion. 

Acreage limitation provisions 

applicable to public entities—Land 

farmed by a public entity can be 

considered exempt from the application 

of the acreage limitation provisions 

provided the public entity meets certain 

criteria pertaining to the revenue 

generated through the entity’s farming 

activities (43 CFR 426.10 and the Act of 

July 7, 1970, Public Law 91–310). We 

are required to ascertain whether or not 

public entities that receive Reclamation 

irrigation water meet such revenue 

criteria regardless of how much land the 

public entities hold (directly or 

indirectly own or lease) [43 CFR 

426.10(a)]. In order to minimize the 

burden on public entities, standard RRA 

forms are submitted by a public entity 

only when the public entity holds more 

than 40 acres subject to the acreage 

limitation provisions westwide, which 

makes it difficult to apply the revenue 

criteria as required to those public 

entities that hold less than 40 acres. 

When we become aware of such public 

entities, we request those public entities 

complete and submit for our review the 

Public Entity Information Sheet (Form 

7–2565), which allows us to establish 

compliance with Federal reclamation 

law for those public entities that hold 40 

acres or less and, thus, do not submit a 

standard RRA form because they are 

below the RRA forms submittal 

threshold. In addition, for those public 

entities that do not meet the exemption 

criteria, we must determine the proper 

rate to charge for Reclamation irrigation 

water deliveries. The Public Entity 

Information Sheet is disbursed at our 

discretion. 

Acreage limitation provisions 

applicable to religious or charitable 

organizations—Some religious or 

charitable organizations that receive 

Reclamation irrigation water may 

believe that they are under the RRA 

forms submittal threshold and, 

consequently, may not submit the 

appropriate RRA form(s). However, 

some of these organizations may in fact 

have a different RRA forms submittal 

threshold than what they believe it to be 

depending on whether these 

organizations meet all of the required 

criteria for full special application of the 

acreage limitations provisions to 

religious or charitable organizations [43 

CFR 426.9(b)]. In addition, some 

organizations that (1) do not meet the 

criteria to be treated as a religious or 

charitable organization under the 

acreage limitation provisions, and (2) 

are exempt from the requirement to 

submit RRA forms due to the size of 

their landholdings (directly and 

indirectly owned and leased land), may 

in fact be receiving Reclamation 

irrigation water for which the full-cost 

rate must be paid because the start of 

Reclamation irrigation water deliveries 

occurred after October 1, 1981 [43 CFR 

426.6(b)(2)]. The Religious or Charitable 

Organization Identification Sheet (Form 

7–2578) allows us to establish certain 

religious or charitable organizations’ 

compliance with Federal reclamation 

law. The Religious or Charitable 

Organization Identification Sheet is 

disbursed at our discretion.

Abstract: This information collection 

is required under the Reclamation 

Reform Act of 1982 (RRA), Acreage 

Limitation Rules and Regulations, 43 

CFR part 426, and Information 

Requirements for Certain Farm 

Operations In Excess of 960 Acres and 

the Eligibility of Certain Formerly 

Excess Land, 43 CFR part 428. This 

information collection requires certain 

landholders (direct or indirect 

landowners or lessees) and farm 

operators to complete forms 

demonstrating their compliance with 

the acreage limitation provisions of 

Federal reclamation law. The forms in 

this information collection are 

submitted to districts that use the 

information to establish each 

landholder’s status with respect to 

landownership limitations, full-cost 

pricing thresholds, lease requirements, 

and other provisions of Federal 

reclamation law. In addition, forms are 

submitted by certain farm operators to 

provide information concerning the 

services they provide and the nature of 

their farm operating arrangements. All 

landholders whose entire westwide 

landholdings total 40 acres or less are 

exempt from the requirement to submit 

RRA forms. Landholders who are 

‘‘qualified recipients’’ have RRA forms 

submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240 

acres depending on the district’s RRA 

forms submittal threshold category 

where the land is held. Only farm 

operators who provide multiple services 

to more than 960 acres held in trusts or 

by legal entities are required to submit 

forms.
