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

Comments

Comments are invited on:

(a) Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of our functions, including

whether the information will have

practical use;

(b) The accuracy of our burden

estimate for the proposed collection of

information;

(c) Ways to enhance the quality,

usefulness, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of

the collection of information on

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

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. Reclamation will

display a valid OMB control number on

the RRA forms. A Federal Register

notice with a 60-day comment period

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published in the

Federal Register on January 3, 2001 (66

FR 383, Jan. 3, 2001). A list of the

comments received and our responses to

those comments will be sent to: (1) all

districts, (2) all commenters, and (3)

OMB with this ICR; it is also available

from us upon request.

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or

disapprove this information collection,

but may respond after 30 days;

therefore, public comment should be

submitted to OMB within 30 days in

order to assure maximum consideration.

Dated: April 27, 2001.

Associate Director, Office of Policy.
