FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Greek Taylor at: (303) 445–2895. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Bureau of Reclamation Use Authorization Application, 43 CFR part 429. Abstract: Reclamation is responsible for approximately 6.5 million acres of land which directly support Reclamation’s Federal water projects in the 17 western states. Individuals or entities wanting to use Reclamation’s lands, facilities, or waterbodies must submit an application to gain permission for such uses. Examples of such uses are: —Agricultural uses such as grazing and farming; —Commercial or organized recreation and sporting activities; —Other commercial activities such as ‘‘guiding and outfitting’’ and ‘‘filming and photography;’’ and —Resource exploration and extraction, including sand and gravel removal and timber harvesting. Reclamation reviews applications to determine whether granting individual use authorizations is compatible with Reclamation’s present or future uses of the lands, facilities, or waterbodies. When we find a proposed use compatible, we advise the applicant of the estimated administrative costs and estimated application processing time. In addition to the administrative costs, we require the applicant to pay a use fee for the use authorization based on a valuation or competitive bidding. If the application is for construction of a bridge, building, or other significant construction project, Reclamation may require that all plans and specifications be signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer. We changed the form and its instructions to comply with revisions to 43 CFR part 429. The name of the form is now ‘‘Bureau of Reclamation Use Authorization Application’’ and ‘‘rightof-use’’ is replaced with ‘‘use authorization’’ in the form and instructions. We expanded the examples in the instructions of proposed uses for which you must seek permission. The instructions reflect an application fee of $100. However, some applications may incur a higher cost due to additional required analyses such as the need to perform a valuation or to ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The average cost for preparing an application is estimated to be $200. We made other changes to the form and the instructions to improve the readability and E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1
