SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This information collection is required under the Reclamation 
Reform Act of 1982 (RRA), Acreage Limitation Rules and Regulations, 43 
CFR part 426, and Information Requirements for Certain Farm Operations 
In Excess of 960 Acres and the Eligibility of Certain Formerly Excess 
Land, 43 CFR part 428. The forms in this information collection are to 
be used by district offices to summarize individual landholder (direct 
or indirect landowner or lessee) and farm operator certification and 
reporting forms. This information allows us to establish water user 
compliance with Federal reclamation law.

II. Changes to the RRA Forms and Their Instructions

    The changes made to the currently approved RRA forms and the 
corresponding instructions are of an editorial nature, and are designed 
to assist the respondents by increasing their understanding of the 
forms, clarifying the instructions for completing the forms, and 
clarifying the information that is required to be on the forms. The 
proposed revisions to the RRA forms will be effective in the 2016 water 
year.
