SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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 FederalRegister notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on
September 15, 2020 (85 FR 57246). No
comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(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,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

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
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

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 244 / Friday, December 18, 2020 / Notices
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, 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

Trust review--In order to administer section 214 of the RRA and 43

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

trust documents when we become aware of trusts with a relatively small
landholding (40 acres or less in districts subject to the prior law

warrant the further investigation of a particular trust, that
[[Page 82511]]
trustee will not be burdened with submitting trust documents to us for
in-depth 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,
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

criteria to be treated as a religious or charitable organization under
the acreage limitation provisions, and (2) are exempt from the

(directly and indirectly owned and leased land), may in fact be
