Notice of renewal of a currently
approved collection (OMB No. 1006–
0005).

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Bureau of
Reclamation (we, our, or us) intends to

part 426 and 43 CFR part 428, OMB
Control Number: 1006–0005. This
information collection is required under
the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982
(RRA), Acreage Limitation Rules and
Regulations, 43 CFR part 426, and
Information Requirements for Certain
Farm Operations In Excess of 960 Acres
and the Eligibility of Certain Formerly
Excess Land, 43 CFR part 428. We

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
are submitted to districts that use the
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information to 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
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.
Changes to the RRA forms and the
instructions to those forms.
We made a few editorial changes to
the currently approved RRA forms and
the instructions to those forms that are
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. The proposed revisions
to the RRA forms will be included
starting in the 2010 water year.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Landholders and farm
operators of certain lands in our
projects, whose landholdings exceed
specified RRA forms submittal
thresholds.
Estimated Total Number of
Respondents: 15,279.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1.02.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: 15,585.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 11,523 hours.
