ACTION: Notice of renewal and request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation 

intends to submit a request for renewal 

of an existing approved information 

collection to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB): Diversions, Return 

Flow, and Consumptive Use of Colorado 

River Water in the Lower Colorado 

River Basin (OMB Control Number 

1006–0015). 

DATES: Send written comments by June 

25, 2012.

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.

respondents will include the Lower 

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. 

Estimated total number of 

respondents: 54. 

Estimated number of responses per 

respondent: 1 annually and/or 12 

monthly. 

Estimated total number of annual 

responses: 292.
