affect every well owner and operator

along the lower Colorado River in

Arizona, California, and Nevada.

water use and estimate its quantity, and

accordance with an entitlement to the

extent possible under the compacts,

Federal laws, court decisions and

guidelines that govern the use of

Colorado River water.

Comments are invited on: (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of Reclamation,

including whether the information shall

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

Reclamation’s estimated burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

the use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology. Consideration will be given

to comments and suggestions submitted

within 60 days of this publication.

Estimate of Burden: An average of 30

minutes is required for Reclamation, or

those cooperating or under contract or

agreement with Reclamation, to

interview individual well owners or

operators.

Respondents: Owners and/or

operators of wells along, and in areas

adjacent and hydraulically connected

to, the lower Colorado River.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

1,000.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: This information will be

collected only once for each well owner

or operator as long as changes in water

use, or other changes that would impact

entitlement or administrative

requirements, are not made.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on

Respondents: 500 hours.

Dated: June 14, 1996.
