SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 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 Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
December 21, 2016 (81 FR 93708). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of Reclamation; (2) will this information be processed 
and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 
(4) how might Reclamation enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (5) how might Reclamation minimize 
the burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the 
use of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    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 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.

Certification and Reporting Forms for Acreage Limitation, 43 CFR part 
426 and 43 CFR part 428.
