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. Pursuant to the Boulder
Canyon Project Act (43 U.S.C. 617; Pub.
L. 70–642, 45 Stat. 1057), all diversion
of mainstream Colorado River water
must be in accordance with a Colorado
River water entitlement. The
Consolidated Decree of the United
States Supreme Court in Arizona v.
California, 547 U.S. 150 (2006) requires
the Secretary of the Interior to account
for all diversions of mainstream
Colorado River water along the lower
Colorado River, including water drawn
from the mainstream by underground
pumping. To meet the water entitlement
and accounting obligations, an
inventory of wells and river pumps is
required along the lower Colorado
River, and the gathering of specific
information concerning these wells.
Title of Collection: Lower Colorado
River Well Inventory.
OMB Control Number: 1006–0014.
Form Numbers: Form LC–25.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Well
and river-pump owners and operators
along the lower Colorado River in
Arizona, California, and Nevada. Each
diverter (including well pumpers) must
be identified and their diversion
locations and water use determined.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 150.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 150.
Estimated Completion Time per
Respondent: An average of 20 minutes
is required to interview individual well
and river-pump owners or operators.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 50 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: These data
are collected only once for each well or
river-pump owner or operator as long as
changes in water use, or other changes
that would impact contractual or
administrative requirements, are not
made. A respondent may request that
the data for its well or river pump be
updated after the initial inventory.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
