SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 17, 2015 / Notices 8343 

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. 

II. Changes to the RRA Forms and 

Their Instructions 

The changes made to the currently 

approved RRA forms and the 

corresponding instructions are of a 

formatting or editorial nature, and are 

designed to assist the respondents by 

increasing their understanding of the 

forms, clarifying the instructions for 

completing the forms, and clarifying the 

information that is required to be on the 

forms. The proposed revisions to the 

RRA forms will be effective in the 2016 

water year.
