SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: *Title:*
                     Individual Landholder's and Farm Operator's Certification and Reporting Forms for Acreage Limitation, 43 CFR part 426 and 43 CFR part 428. *Abstract:*
                     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. These forms are submitted to districts who 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 
                    ( print page 9966)
                    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. *Changes to the RRA forms and the instructions to those forms.*
                     We made a few editorial changes to the currently approved RRA forms and the instructions to those forms that are designed to assist the respondents by increasing their understanding of the forms, clarifying the instructions for use when completing the forms, and clarifying the information that is required to be submitted to the districts with the forms. The proposed revisions to the RRA forms will be included starting in the 2008 water year. *Frequency:*
                     Annually. *Respondents:*
                     Landholders and farm operators of certain lands in our projects, whose landholdings exceed specified RRA forms submittal thresholds. *Estimated Total Number of Respondents:*
                     17,358. *Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent:*
                     1.02. *Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses:*
                     17,706. *Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents:*
                     13,085 hours. *Estimate of Burden for Each Form:* Form No.
