[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 31 (Tuesday, February 17, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 8342-8343] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-03134] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation [RR83550000, 14XR0680A1, RX.31580001.0090104] Agency Information Collection; Proposed Revisions to a Currently Approved Information Collection (OMB Control Number 1006-0005) AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice and request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: We, the Bureau of Reclamation, intend to submit a request for renewal (with revisions) of an existing approved information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) titled, Individual Landholder's and Farm Operator's Certification and Reporting Forms for Acreage Limitation, 43 CFR part 426 and 43 CFR part 428, OMB Control Number 1006-0005. DATES: Submit written comments on this revised information collection request on or before April 20, 2015. ADDRESSES: Send written comments or requests for copies of the proposed revised forms to Stephanie McPhee, Bureau of Reclamation, Office of Policy and Administration, 84-55000, P.O. Box 25007, Denver, CO 80225- 0007; or via email to [email protected]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie McPhee at (303) 445-2897. 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. This information collection requires certain landholders (direct or indirect landowners or lessees) and farm operators to complete forms demonstrating their compliance with [[Page 8343]] the acreage limitation provisions of Federal reclamation law. The forms in this information collection are submitted to districts that use the information to establish each landholder's status with respect to landownership limitations, full-cost pricing thresholds, lease requirements, and other provisions of Federal reclamation law. In addition, forms are submitted by certain farm operators to provide information concerning the services they provide and the nature of their farm operating arrangements. All landholders whose entire westwide landholdings total 40 acres or less are exempt from the requirement to submit RRA forms. Landholders who are ``qualified recipients'' have RRA forms submittal thresholds of 80 acres or 240 acres depending on the district's RRA forms submittal threshold category where the land is held. Only farm operators who provide multiple services to more than 960 acres held in trusts or by legal entities are required to submit forms. II. Changes to the RRA Forms and Their Instructions The changes made to the currently approved RRA forms and the corresponding instructions are of a formatting or 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. III. Data OMB Control Number: 1006-0005.
