SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Forms to Determine Compliance
by Certain Landholders, 43 CFR part
426.
Abstract: Identification of limited
recipients—Some entities that receive
Reclamation irrigation water may
believe that they are under the RRA
forms submittal threshold and,
consequently, may not submit the
appropriate RRA form(s). However,
some of these entities may in fact have
a different RRA forms submittal
threshold than what they believe it to be
due to the number of natural persons
benefiting from each entity and the
location of the land held by each entity.
In addition, some entities that are
exempt from the requirement to submit
RRA forms due to the size of their
landholdings (directly and indirectly
owned and leased land) may in fact be
receiving Reclamation irrigation water
for which the full-cost rate must be paid
because the start of Reclamation
irrigation water deliveries occurred after
October 1, 1981 [43 CFR 426.6(b)(2)].
The information obtained through
completion of the Limited Recipient
Identification Sheet (Form 7–2536)
allows us to establish entities’
compliance with Federal reclamation
law. The Limited Recipient
Identification Sheet is disbursed at our
discretion. There are no proposed
revisions to the Limited Recipient
Identification Sheet.
Trust review—In order to administer
section 214 of the RRA and 43 CFR
426.7, we are required to review and
approve all trusts. Land held in trust
generally will be attributed to the
beneficiaries of the trust rather than the
trustee if the criteria specified in the
RRA and 43 CFR 426.7 are met. When
we become aware of trusts with a
relatively small landholding (40 acres or
less), we may extend to those trusts the
option to complete and submit for our
review the Trust Information Sheet
(Form 7–2537) instead of actual trust
documents. If we find nothing on the
completed Trust Information Sheet that
would warrant the further investigation
of a particular trust, that trustee will not
be burdened with submitting trust
documents to us for in-depth review.
The Trust Information Sheet is
disbursed at our discretion. There are no
proposed revisions to the Trust
Information Sheet.
Acreage limitation provisions
applicable to public entities—Land
farmed by a public entity can be

Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
considered exempt from the application
of the acreage limitation provisions
provided the public entity meets certain
criteria pertaining to the revenue
generated through the entity’s farming
activities (43 CFR 426.10 and the Act of
July 7, 1970, Pub. L. 91–310). We are
required to ascertain whether or not
public entities that receive Reclamation
irrigation water meet such revenue
criteria regardless of how much land the
public entities hold (directly or
indirectly own or lease) [43 CFR
426.10(a)]. In order to minimize the
burden on public entities, standard RRA
forms are submitted by a public entity
only when the public entity holds more
than 40 acres subject to the acreage
limitation provisions westwide, which
makes it difficult to apply the revenue
criteria as required to those public
entities that hold less than 40 acres.
When we become aware of such public
entities, we request those public entities
complete and submit for our review the
Public Entity Information Sheet (Form
7–2565), which allows us to establish
compliance with Federal reclamation
law for those public entities that hold 40
acres or less and, thus, do not submit a
standard RRA form because they are
below the RRA forms submittal
threshold. In addition, for those public
entities that do not meet the exemption
criteria, we must determine the proper
rate to charge for Reclamation irrigation
water deliveries. The Public Entity
Information Sheet is disbursed at our
discretion. There are no proposed
revisions to the Public Entity
Information Sheet.
Acreage limitation provisions
applicable to religious or charitable
organizations—Some religious or
charitable organizations that receive
Reclamation irrigation water may
believe that they are under the RRA
forms submittal threshold and,
consequently, may not submit the
appropriate RRA form(s). However,
some of these organizations may in fact
have a different RRA forms submittal
threshold than what they believe it to be
depending on whether these
organizations meet all of the required
criteria for full special application of the
acreage limitations provisions to
religious or charitable organizations [43
CFR 426.9(b)]. In addition, some
organizations that (1) do not meet the
criteria to be treated as a religious or
charitable organization under the
acreage limitation provisions, and (2)
are exempt from the requirement to
submit RRA forms due to the size of
their landholdings (directly and
indirectly owned and leased land), may
in fact be receiving Reclamation

irrigation water for which the full-cost
rate must be paid because the start of
Reclamation irrigation water deliveries
occurred after October 1, 1981 [43 CFR
426.6(b)(2)]. The Religious or Charitable
Organization Identification Sheet (Form
7–2578) allows us to establish certain
religious or charitable organizations’
compliance with Federal reclamation
law. The Religious or Charitable
Organization Identification Sheet is
disbursed at our discretion. There are no
proposed revisions to the Religious or
Charitable Organization Sheet.
Frequency: Generally, these forms
will be submitted only once per
identified entity, trust, public entity, or

certain criteria pertaining to the revenue generated through the

Pub. L. 91-310). We are required to ascertain whether or not public
entities that receive Reclamation irrigation water meet such revenue
criteria regardless of how much land the public entities hold (directly
or indirectly own or lease) [43 CFR 426.10(a)]. In order to minimize
the burden on public entities, standard RRA forms are submitted by a
