SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation

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. Changes to the Bureau of
Reclamation Use Authorization
Application Form and Its Instructions
The only change made to the form
was to improve the readability and
information-gathering, and to update the
Web site links.

OMB Control Number: 1006–0003.
Title: Bureau of Reclamation Use
Authorization Application.
Form Number: Form 7–2540.
Frequency: Each time a use
authorization is requested.
Respondents: Individuals,
