Title: Certification Summary Form, 

Reporting Summary Form for Acreage 

Limitation, 43 CFR part 426 and 43 CFR

Abstract: These forms are to be used 

by district offices to summarize 

individual landholder (direct or indirect 

landowner or lessee) and farm operator 

certification and reporting forms as 

required by the RRA, 43 CFR part 426, 

and 43 CFR part 428. This information 

allows us to establish water user 

compliance with Federal reclamation 

law. 

Changes to the RRA forms and the

instructions to those forms prior to the 

60-day comment period initiated by the

(73 FR 63508, Oct. 24, 2008). Those 

changes were designed to assist the 

respondents by increasing their 

understanding of the forms, clarifying 

the instructions for use when 

completing the forms, and clarifying the 

information that is required to be 

submitted to the districts with the 

forms. We received no public comments 

from the 60-day public comment period. 

The proposed revisions to the RRA 

forms will be included starting in the 

2010 water year.

This information collection is 

mandated by Congress through Public 

Law 102–477, Indian Employment, 

Training and Related Services 

Demonstration Act (Act) of 1992, 

section, 17. The Act requires the 

Secretary to develop, maintain and 

publish, not less than biennially, a 

consolidated report on the population 

by gender, income level, age, and 

availability for work. The consolidated 

report will be submitted to the Senate 

Indian Affairs Committee, as required 

by the Act and other Federal agencies. 

The consolidated report will also be 

available to Indian tribes and the 

general public, upon request. 

The OMB Control Number for this 

information collection is 1076–0147. 

Approval for this information collection 

expired on July 31, 2008, while BIA was 

revising the report to make it more 

accurate; therefore, the BIA is 

submitting the information collection 

for reinstatement. A request for 

comments on this information 

collection request appeared in the 

Federal Register on Tuesday, September 

16, 2008 (73 FR 53441). No comments 

were received in response to the 

announcement. 

II. Request for Comments

collection for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden (hours 

and cost) of the collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways we could enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) ways we could 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the information on the respondents, 

such as through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or request and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number.
