River Water in the Lower Colorado 

River Basin (OMB Control Number 

1006–0015).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) delivers Colorado River 

water to water users for diversion and 

beneficial consumptive use in the States 

of Arizona, California, and Nevada. The 

Consolidated Decree of the United 

States Supreme Court in the case of 

Arizona v. California, et al., entered 

March 27, 2006, (547 U.S. 150 (2006)) 

requires the Secretary of the Interior to 

prepare and maintain complete, 

detailed, and accurate records of 

diversions of water, return flow, and 

consumptive use and make these 

records available at least annually. This 

information is needed to ensure that a 

State or a water user within a State does 

not exceed its authorized use of 

Colorado River water. Water users are 

obligated by provisions in their water 

delivery contracts to provide 

Reclamation information on diversions 

and return flows. Reclamation 

determines the consumptive use by 

subtracting return flow from diversions 

or by other engineering means. Without 

the information collected, Reclamation 

could not comply with the order of the 

United States Supreme Court to prepare 

and maintain detailed and accurate 

records of diversions, return flow, and 

consumptive use. 

II. Data 

OMB Control Number: 1006–0015.

Basin States (Arizona, California, and 

Nevada), local and tribal entities, water 

districts, and individuals that use 

Colorado River water.

otherwise as determined by the 

Secretary of the Interior.

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement. 

ACTION: Notice and request for

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

request describes the nature of the 

information collection and the expected

DATES: OMB has up to 60 days to

should be submitted to OMB by May 25, 

2012, in order to be assured of 

consideration.

request by going to http:// 

www.reginfo.gov (Information Collection 

Review, Currently Under Review,

DOI–OSMRE). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB 

regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 

implement provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), 

require that interested members of the 

public and affected agencies have an 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection and recordkeeping activities 

[see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSM has 

submitted a request to OMB to renew its 

approval of the collection of information 

for 30 CFR Part 875—Noncoal 

Reclamation. OSM is requesting a 3-year 

term of approval for this information 

collection activity. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. Responses are required 

to obtain a benefit. The OMB control 

number for this collection of 

information is listed in 30 CFR 875.10, 

which is 1029–0103. 

As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a 

Federal Register notice soliciting 

comments on these collections of 

information was published on February 

1, 2012 (77 FR 5049). OSM received one 

comment, but it did not accurately 

reflect 30 CFR Part 875, nor was it 

germane to this information collection. 

Therefore, we have not changed the 

collection in response to the comment. 

This notice provides the public with 

an additional 30 days in which to 

comment on the following information 

collection activity: 

Title: 30 CFR Part 875—Noncoal 

Reclamation. 

OMB Control Number: 1029–0103. 

Summary: This part establishes 

procedures and requirements for State 

and Indian tribes to conduct noncoal 

reclamation using abandoned mine land 

funding. The information is needed to 

assure compliance with the Surface 

Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 

1977. 

Bureau Form Numbers: None. 

Frequency of Collection: Once. 

Description of Respondents: State 

governments and Indian Tribes. 

Total Annual Responses: 1. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 10. 

Send comments on the need for the 

collection of information for the 

performance of the functions of the 

agency; the accuracy of the agency’s 

burden estimates; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and ways to 

minimize the information collection 

burden on respondents, such as use of 

automated means of collection of the 

information, to the places listed under 

ADDRESSES. Please refer to control 

number 1029–0103 in all 

correspondence. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
