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 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 Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (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. This collection of information allows the Bureau of Reclamation (we, our, or us) to establish landholders' compliance with Federal reclamation law. Changes to the RRA Forms and the Instructions to Those Forms We made some changes to the current RRA forms and the instructions to those forms that are designed to increase the respondents' understanding of the forms, instructions to the forms, and what information is required to be submitted with the forms to the districts. These changes, as detailed in the ICR, include those resulting from the 60-day comment period initiated by the notice published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on January 3, 2001 (66 FR 383, Jan. 3, 2001). All other changes that were made are editorial or typographical in nature, and are designed to increase the clarity and correctness of the forms. The proposed revisions to the RRA forms will be included starting in the 2002 water year. *Frequency:*
                     Annually. *Respondents:*
                     Landholders and farm operators of certain lands in Bureau of Reclamation projects, whose landholdings exceed specified RRA forms submittal thresholds. *Estimated Total Number of Respondents:*
                     19,202. *Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent:*
                     1.02. *Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses:*
                     19,586. *Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents:*
