II. Public Comment Procedures
On Wednesday, October 18, from 3
p.m. to 5 p.m., members of the public
will have the opportunity to make
comments to the Advisory Board on the
Wild Horse and Burro Program. Persons
wishing to make comments during the
meeting should register in person with
the BLM prior to 3 p.m. on October 18,
at the meeting location. Depending on
the number of commenters, the
Advisory Board may limit the length of
comments. At previous meetings,
comments have been limited to 3
minutes in length; however, this time
may vary. Speakers are requested to
submit a written copy of their statement
to the address listed in the ADDRESSES
section above, or bring a written copy to
the meeting. There may be a webcam
present during the entire meeting and
individual comments may be recorded.
Participation in the Advisory Board
meeting does not require the submission
of written comments. The BLM invites
written comments from all interested
parties. Your written comments should
be specific and explain the reason for
any recommendation. The BLM
considers comments that are either
supported by quantitative information
or studies, or those that include
citations to and analysis of applicable
laws and regulations, to be the most
useful and likely to influence the BLM’s
decisions on the management and
protection of wild horses and burros.

Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on December
21, 2016 (81 FR 93709). No comments
were received.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of
Reclamation; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might Reclamation enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might Reclamation minimize the burden
of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire

you can ask us in your comment to

Abstract: Identification of limited
recipients—Some entities that receive
Reclamation irrigation water may
believe that they are under the
Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:01 Sep 29, 2017
Jkt 244001
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.
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. We may
extend the option to complete and
submit for our review the Trust
Information Sheet (Form 7–2537)
instead of actual trust documents when
we become aware of trusts with a
relatively small landholding (40 acres or
less in districts subject to the prior law
provisions of Federal reclamation law,
240 acres or less in districts subject to
the discretionary provisions of Federal
reclamation law). 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 indepth review. The Trust Information
Sheet is disbursed at our discretion.
Acreage limitation provisions
applicable to public entities—Land
farmed by a public entity can be
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
PO 00000
Frm 00091
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45885
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.
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.
