AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Bureau of
Reclamation (we, our, or us) intends to
submit a request for renewal of an
existing approved information
collection to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB): Crop Acreage and
Yields and Water Distribution (Water
User Crop Census Report [Form 7–332],
and Crop and Water Data [Form 7–
2045]), OMB Control Number: 1006–
0001. We request your comments on the
proposed forms and specific aspects of
this information collection.
DATES: Your written comments must be
received on or before November 18,
2005.
ADDRESSES: You may send written
comments to the Bureau of Reclamation,
Attention: D–5300, PO Box 25007,
Denver, CO 80225–0007. You may
request copies of the proposed forms by
writing to the above address or by

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
currently in the process of collaborating
with the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) to develop a way to utilize
USDA’s existing information
collection(s) to gather the data required
for our purposes. However, this
collaboration effort will not be
completed before the expiration of the
crop census forms in this information
collection. Consequently, this
information collection is being renewed
as an interim measure to ensure a means
exists for collection of the crop data
necessary to perform our functions. We
anticipate that the collaboration process
with the USDA will be complete before
further renewal of this information
collection is required.
Title: Crop Acreage and Yields and
Water Distribution.
Abstract: The annual crop census is
taken on certain Reclamation projects
primarily for use as a tool in
administering, managing, and

evaluating various aspects of the Federal
reclamation program. The census is
used to assist in the administration of
repayment and water service contracts,
which are used to repay the irrigators’
obligation to the Federal government.
The census will provide data to
facilitate the required 5-year review of
ability-to-pay analysis, which is being
incorporated into new repayment and
water service contracts. The basis for
these reviews is an audit by the Office
of the Inspector General, Department of
the Interior.
Data from the census are utilized to
determine class 1 equivalency
computation; i.e., determining the
number of acres of class 2 and class 3
land that are required to be equivalent
in productivity to class 1 land.
In recent years, the census has
provided data which are used to
administer international trade
agreements, such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement. Data from the
census are also used by the Office of the
Inspector General, Government
Accountability Office, and the
Congressional Research Service to
independently evaluate our program
and to estimate the impacts of proposed
legislation. These data are supplied to
other Federal and State agencies to
evaluate the program and provide data
for research.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Irrigators and water user
entities in the 17 Western states who
receive irrigation water service from
Bureau of Reclamation facilities. Also
included are entities who receive other
water services, such as municipal and
industrial water through Bureau of
Reclamation facilities.
Estimated Total Number of
Respondents: 1,325.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.0.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: 1,325.
