Abstract The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is responsible for approximately 6.5 million acres of land which directly support Reclamation’s Federal water projects in the 17 Western States. Under Title 43 CFR part 429, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Sep 25, 2015 Jkt 235001 individuals or entities wanting to use Reclamation’s lands, facilities, or waterbodies must apply using Form 7– 2540. 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 based on a valuation or by 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. The required 60-day public comment period for the Bureau of Reclamation Use Authorization Application was initiated by a notice published in the Federal Register on November 14, 2014 (79 FR 68297). No public comments were received. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Bureau of Reclamation delivers Colorado River water to water 
users for diversion and beneficial consumptive use in the States of 
Arizona, California, and Nevada. The Consolidated Decree of the United 
States Supreme Court in the case of Arizona v. California, et al., 
entered March 27, 2006 (547 U.S. 150 (2006)), requires the Secretary of 
the Interior to prepare and maintain complete, detailed, and accurate 
records of diversions of water, return flow, and consumptive use and 
make these records available at least annually. The information 
collected ensures that a State or a water user within a State does not 
exceed its authorized use of Colorado River water. Water users are 
obligated by provisions in their water delivery contracts to provide 
Reclamation information on diversions and return flows. Reclamation 
determines the consumptive use by subtracting return flow from 
diversions or by other engineering means.
