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.
II. Changes to the RRA Forms and
Their Instructions
The changes made to the currently
approved RRA forms and the
corresponding instructions are of an
editorial nature, and are designed to
assist the respondents by increasing
their understanding of the forms,
clarifying the instructions for
completing the forms, and clarifying the
information that is required to be on the
forms. The proposed revisions to the
Trust Information Sheet also include
clarification of the 40-acre and 240-acre
thresholds applicable to prior law
districts and discretionary provisions
districts, respectively. The proposed
revisions to the RRA forms will be
effective in the 2014 water year.
