trustee will not be burdened with

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, Public Law 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.
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

provide the general public and other

described below. We are especially
interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,

(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
